Best Live Music Restaurants in Central Business District

Tonight was my wife and my first time dining at Jeff Ruby’s, and it was the greatest meal/experience that we’ve had. The live music was incredible for an entrance and throughout our meal. Angelica was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and an absolute joy. We were treated with a complimentary butter cake and it was divine. Thank you for allowing us to just celebrate life with you tonight.

Prime never fails to deliver. Great service, respectful of our time, and fabulous food. We were there on a show night and both got the filet trio which was scrumptious. Tried the charcuterie board for a starter which is a new item and it was really quite tasty. The mocha cheesecake was a nice finish to the meal. Kevin was our waiter and he was fabulous.

The service, food, drinks, and overall vibe we IMMACULATE. Our reservations were at 5:30 on a Friday. Scott was our server, he had amazing recommendations and clearly knew about every item on the menu through and through. The cocktails were $12 but WELL worth the price, the Ruby Slipper was so tasty and my fingers tingling after 1! All 4 meals my table had were so wonderfully and carefully crafted. Dessert (beignets and the limited nightly special) tied everything together. 1000/10 would recommend and will be dining there again soon!

We sat at “counter seating” and I had my doubts because I felt it would be like bar type seating. For two people it is perfect seating. You can both see the action in the restaurant and yet be able to talk with each other. Our service was spectacular - multiple people checked in with us. Most people there were going to a show after dinner - like myself - the restaurant was on top of it. We did not feel rushed at all. The food was wonderful. We had fish and chips (not battered, but incredible) and shrimp and grits - both were fantastic. Our drinks were first rate as well. I had been here years ago and thought ‘it’s OK but with this visit (again many years later) I thought “I have to come back!”.

The grazing board was divine. Really good pimento cheese spread and fresh meats. The salad is enormous so plan accordingly. The Amish chicken was very good. Broccolini was scrumptious. Mashed potatoes were full of flavor. Cocktail menu could use some non whisky options. My husband had an old fashioned which he enjoyed but felt it was a bit overpriced. Our service was great!
