We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

It was good but $18 add on for chicken on my pasta is a little ridiculous in my opinion. Good food though and good vibe although they did give us a 5% entertainment fee and no music played

Truly wonderful experience. Jazz band started as we sat down and played at just the right volume to have a conversation and jiggle to the tunes. We were very close to the stage and the waiter was attentive and good humoured. Food was delicious and cocktails were very satisfying. Will be back!

The food, service and energy are very good. Plan to give yourself an extra 30 minutes to find parking. The recommended parking garage was full and most of the street parking is residential. The city tickets on Sundays.

We went with friends specifically for the jazz brunch. It was exactly what we hoped for. The service was perfect, the atmosphere invigorating and we had great seats close to the musicians where we could see them but not diretly in front so we were able to hold down a conversation. For the most part, the food was excellent and we really apprciated being able to taste the sauce from the turkish egg dish before ordering. Our waitstaff was very attentive, makig sure not to put down another plate until we finished what we were currently eating - and it still came out warm! We're slow eaters so appreciate this. The only constructive comments are that the corned beef hash was a bit too cheesy overtaking the flavors, and the people in our party who ordered it also commented that they are accustomed to 2 eggs while this only had one. That is the only reason I could not give this a 5 star.
