Trumpets Jazz Club & Restaurant

What a great place to hear jazz!  Whay go to NYC when right here, in my own backyard, is some of the best music you can ask for?  I have been here several times.  Sometimes there has not even been a music charge.  The drink portions are generous (not like the $11 martini @ Egans that they only fill half way).  The owner is very nice and seems genuinely interested in making sure everyone is having a good time.  I will have to get back to try the food,  it smells great but I usually just go to the bar and have drinks.  Can't giv it a 5 until I eat there.  Wish there were more places like this where you can hear quality music and not go broke.

Great Jazz - went to hear old friend who used to live in Montclair, Hendrik Muerkens play vibes and harmonica -together with other, drums, piano and bass. Plays around the world - unusual style and fun to listen to - supper -great Trumpets salad, and ravioli - calamari tough and salty - place is much better than when it was full of smoke - pleasant - nice wait staff - attentive - cozy atmosphere - easy parking on city streets -Cover charge tonight  $15 each  -musicians  have to make a living too!

This is a cute family owned restaurant. I came here for a work event. The service was very friendly and the live jazz was very entertaining.

We had hors d'oeuvre that consisted of fried chicken egg rolls, pigs in a blanket, calamari. The salad was a bit bitter but healthy nonetheless. I ordered the filet which was served with sauteed string beans -- it was prepared perfectly and was delicious. For dessert, I had the cheescake which seemed to be homemade and very fluffy.

As other reviews have said, the jazz here is great!
