Sea Jax Tavern — the popular Kettering pub that has been closed since the coronavirus-related mandatory statewide shutdown of restaurant dining rooms began in mid-March — will take its first step toward reopening by offering its most popular single menu item as part of a "dinner for two" carryout for three nights this week to celebrate its 6th anniversary.
