Best Live Music Restaurants in Kenwood

Stepping into Bix is like stepping into a jazz club in New Orleans 50 years ago. The room has an upper balcony around the sides, and the whole place is beautifully decorated, with a huge mural above the classic old-style bar. Service was prompt, friendly, and humorous. They made me a fine Vesper. There was a warm roll with butter at our plates, and then an amuse bouche came shortly after. My half-dozen oysters were sweet and fresh. The lobster pasta had plenty of large chunks of lobster and was delicious. The poached pear dessert came with a big dollop of whipped cream on the side. There was a jazz piano trio playing classics, and even though we were only about 20 feet away, we could talk above the music (but it was good enough to just sit back and listen to). All in all, this was a great experience. It's not cheap, but not insane either. I will definitely be back.

It was fantastic. Portions were big for two people, but would be perfect for four. Would suggest having smaller options for two. I hope they keep doing this.

I've been staying at the Fairmont for the past 20+ years at this time of year and I always make an evening of the Tonga Room. Nothing like it in the world (that I know of) with tiki interior, a rain storm every so often with thunder and lightning, fab service from Bash my waiter, delicious food and super entertainment from the band, The Island Groove. What a great evening!!

A favorite for many years ~ we continue to come because the quality and value are amazing!

Great ambiance, attentive staff with great senses of humor, impeccable service, and an extensive menu and wine list! Outdoor patio is incredible, although we chose to eat inside due to the weather! This is my go to place for providing a special experience for family and friends!
