Abbott Square Market Reopens For Outdoor Dining

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Abbott Square Market reopened for patio dining last week.

Abbot Square (725 Front St.) will be open 3 to 9 p.m., Wednesday to Sunday. Blue Bunny Tacos, Belly Goat Burger, Veg On The Edge, Pizzeria La Bufala, Front & Cooper, Roux Dat Cajun Creole and Daisuki Sushi planned to reopen.

"The health and wellbeing of our staff members and guests is our top priority, and we are approaching the reopening of our restaurants’ dining rooms with that as our guiding principle," the market wrote in a statement.

Seating will be reconfigured to respect social distancing and guests waiting in line must also practice social distancing, the market said. Other precautions will be taken, such as providing disposable menus, using signs to indicate clean tables, and ensuring staff receive wellness checks before each shift and wash their hands regularly.

Restrooms will be to the public until they are approved to open, the market said.

Limited menus will be offered in the meantime. Those menus can be viewed here.

Restaurants remain open for take-out and a curbside pickup service is available.

Abbot Square is the Museum of Art & History's outdoor plaza. The museum remains closed due to state coronavirus restrictions.
