    Good food, good ambience, and nice jazz music. The jazz band actually came to your table and can pick something for them to play for you.

    It was a fantastic experience. It was my wife’s birthday and we were treated to a jazz band as well as wonderful food and drinks. Our waitress Bree was fantastic and very accommodating.

    The restaurant shouldn’t allow you to make a reservation in the jazz bistro after 8pm. We had a super bizarre experience at our 9pm seating this past Saturday. After taking our drink order, the waiter informed us that the kitchen was closing and rushed us to order our meal. The musicians seemed to take a break between 9:15 and 9:45, then left for the night at 10. The people at the other tables had all left by the time we got our entrees so we ate in an uncomfortably quiet room while the staff locked up the door and then hovered nearby, waiting for us to finish our meal. Because the bistro door was locked, we had to exit through the main dining room which was much more lively (there were actually people eating there). I wish they gave us a heads up that it would be silent and empty in the jazz bistro while we dined or given us the option to sit in the main dining room. They still charged us a $6 per person “music fee” which we didn’t know about beforehand. We definitely wouldn’t have chosen to pay more to sit there had we known what to expect. The awkward ambiance detracted from the food which was good, but not great for the price.
