The jazz is great, the atmosphere is a little more upscale than I tend to prefer, but the food is excellent.

This place could be great, buts its not. The atmosphere was nice, though they have a dress code sign that was pretentious and not enforced. The food and drinks were tasty, but overpriced for the very small portions. I understand that's what they're going for, but the prices could reflect the portions.

I went with a group of 5 and the computers went down when we were trying to pay. We missed the movie we were trying to go to because we had to wait 45 minutes to pay (NOT exaggerating). After waiting 45 minutes, they calculated our tabs by hand and wrote down our credit card information. We weren't given any discounts or offered anything to make up for the wait. The owner was present, because we overheard people that had recently ordered food being told that because they couldnt keep track of food without computers, they were just not going to serve anything. The owner never came to apologize or inquire.

I may try this again, but not until they have a new owner or management.

Ask to sit outside. It's nice inside too, but once the band starts playing it's pretty hard to have a conversation.

Our server was amazing. He sat down and introduced himself and shared some about the restaurant. He suggested items but wasn't pushy.

My wife's martini was $11, but it was huge and really good (she let me try it!).

All the food was great. The kobe beef sliders were our favorite. The salmon and crab cakes were also very good.

Great place for a romantic night out or just to kick back with friends!
