Wow! Just saw my first show at Doc's and was pretty much blown away. Service and food were great. We saw the David Caceres Orchestra and they crushed the set. How did they fit that much talent on that stage?! Thoroughly had a great time. Oh, and the cocktails were excellent too! I also like the high-end atmosphere and elevated crowd. Looks like we're going to be regulars at this place. HIGHLY recommended. read more

I love an evening that calls for a dress code. My husband surprised me with a date night at Doc's and it was a great experience. Last night's feature came all the way from South Africa and he could play. The way his fingers moved across the piano keys was hypnotizing. Loved the way he got the crowd engaged. I was impressed with the band that played well considering they had an hour to rehearse and learn the routine. The food kept its end of the bargain. I started with the shrimp dijon and my husband had the mediterranean salad for an appetizer. For our entrees, he ordered the NY Steak with mashed potatoes as a side, and I had the catch of the day which was halibut and lump crab with golden potatoes and cauliflower. We enjoyed the entrees better than the appetizers. The shrimp dijon is a favorite but it was just okay to me. I wanted a sexy, non-alcoholic drink so it took the bar manager to step in and create something of his own. I felt considered, it was kind of him. He personally delivered it to my table and told me what he put in it. I could tell he took pride in his creation. I don't remember the ingredients but it was good. Paired well with my meal. The music, the room where Ella Fitzgerald once recorded a live album, the food, my date, a man behind the bar who took a request as a personal invitation, made this a night to remember. read more

I went to Doc's at one of their night showings, and it was such an experience. I enjoyed seeing the band showcasing their talent of playing multiple instruments, and the singer was very talented as well as keeping the crowd engaged with stories. I can't speak much on the food because I only had a glass of wine & fries, but they were seasoned very well, and were really tasty, coming from a fry connoisseur herself. read more

In the 70s while in College, Rockefellers was my favorite Live performance venue. I knew the best seats in the house, upstairs overlooking the stage with no obstruction. Well, I have found another spot that gives me that same view, Doc's Jazz Club. Dropped in to see Kyle Turner featuring TJ Moore. Kyle was Kyle, he's always the professional entertainer but that TJ Moore, first time hearing her perform and it won't be the last. Her voice and stage presence were impeccable. So if you are looking for a live Jazz venue, don't hesitate to drop by and get the best seats in the house, upstairs tables 7 through 11 no obstruction. read more

We absolutely loved our experience at Docs. We were able to experience the " New Orleans Night at Doc's Ft. Trisha Jones! The band was amazing, Trish was fantastic and the food and service were great! Our drinks and food came extremely fast . Kudos to the staff. We order a bottle of wine and a few cocktails , pizza and shrimp dejon. We will return. read more

So I have been twice, and doubt I will be back. Parking- you can valet in there lot $10 to $20. But they have a lot across the street that's free during the week. Unfortunately they charge for the same free lot on the weekends. Which is wack. Feels like a $$ grab. You can try your luck at finding street parking. This is a new and popping area. Lots of new businesses other there, including bar Eleven Eleven next door. Came here for the first time with friends for there Disney night, and second time for there R&B night with singer Prodigy. Lots of folks on dates, and some groups. Service- Both times service was lacking. Servers barely checking on us. Noticed they were giving extra attention to large parties. And even tables that sat down after us, got there drinks before they even took our orders. Then they tried to charge us 20% gratuity for a party of 4 when there menu said they charge for party of 6 or greater. We saw online that the give complimentary house chips to there guests, but when we asked they said they don't do that anymore because the chips come from Spain and it got too expensive. The Disney night we went the power went out, and they just did the show with no mics and there back up generators. They didn't even offer compensation for the lack of full experience. But to be fair when we brought it up with the manager. They agreed to allow us to come back on the house. So I appreciate them attempting to rectify the situation, after we asked. Drinks- the first time I got the El Diablo, I think $18. I got the peach serenade the second time $20. Both drinks were ok. The place itself is intimate, tables on two levels facing the stage. And the both jazz bands were nice enough. But the service will prevent me from returning. But try it out, maybe you will have a better experience. read more

A time was had!! To start the venue is very nice spacious and welcoming. It is two stories with a upstairs bar. We went on the 40/50s jazz night with the owner Doc Watkins. He is AMAZING!! An extremely talented musician, charismatic, entertaining and very very well versed on the history of jazz. The whole performance was great from start to finish. The drinks wonderful. And the standard overpriced $18-$20. The food was just okay. The Ceasars salad was good but not $18 good. Thee fries were excellent! The pizza and burratta just okay. Parking here kind of ducks so I recommend you use ride share to get there. Overall a great experience. We went to the 9:30 show I might try the late show next! read more

I have only been to a jazz club once before, and that experience was fantastic. This visit was definitely memorable too, though for both good and bad reasons. From the moment you walk in, this place gives off a true old school Harlem Nights vibe. It instantly feels like stepping back in time. The atmosphere, decor, lighting, and overall energy create a classic jazz lounge experience that feels authentic and stylish without trying too hard. We purchased tickets online for the 6 PM show featuring David Caceres Orchestra with Kamil Bonner performing a one night tribute to Sarah Vaughan and Nina Simone. Tickets came out to about $100 total for the two of us. I will admit, that felt a little pricey considering it was essentially admission only and did not include dinner or gratuity. When we first arrived, our table was not quite ready, so they had us sit at the bar for about 10 to 15 minutes. We ordered a couple of their signature drinks, but unfortunately neither of them really impressed us. That said, the bartender was friendly, attentive, and provided good customer service throughout the wait. Once our table was ready, we were escorted over just before the show started and began looking through the dinner menu. This is where the experience became a little rough. The wait staff clearly needed additional support. After ordering another round of drinks, we went at least 30 minutes without anyone checking on us, even after the performance had already started. Our waitress kept walking by our table, and we eventually had to flag her down just to place our food order. We also repeatedly asked for utensils and were told they were coming, but they never arrived until much later. There was also a waitress in training working alongside the main server, and unfortunately it showed. She seemed overwhelmed and unsure of what she was doing, while the lead waitress appeared far too busy to properly guide her. The overall service felt disorganized and stretched thin. Oddly enough, once we finally placed our order, the food came out extremely fast. Honestly, probably too fast. Unfortunately, neither of us enjoyed our meals at all. Everything tasted bland and forgettable. I genuinely cannot even remember exactly what we ordered because it left so little of an impression. We both took a couple bites and pretty much stopped there. Thankfully, the show itself completely delivered. The music was outstanding. The band, vocals, instruments, and overall talent level were top notch. The performances mostly consisted of covers rather than original material, but they were done exceptionally well. It is definitely not a quiet or intimate dinner environment since the music is loud and immersive, but if you are there for live jazz, the energy is fantastic. We even had the chance to meet a few members of the band afterward, and they were incredibly kind and personable. There is valet parking available ranging from around $10 to $20 depending on the option you choose. This place gets crowded quickly, so I highly recommend making reservations and purchasing tickets ahead of time. Because of the strong social media buzz surrounding this venue, I do think the crowds will continue coming. However, the food and service side of the experience still need some improvement. If we return, we would probably eat elsewhere beforehand and come strictly for the music and atmosphere. The potential here is absolutely there. It just has not fully put all the pieces together yet. Still I recommend you check it out for yourself. read more

First experience wasn't bad, but also left room for improvement. Overall, the experience didn't fully reach the vibe or expectation for the evening. I really enjoyed the atmosphere as a whole, and the artist we saw was phenomenal. The service was spotty at best. Two people were coming by but didn't seem to be on the same page which caused confusion. Took 20 minutes too long to get our check which seemed to be common because I overheard another table complain. One server mentioned the show ending earlier than expected, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but still disappointing. My main disappointment was the food. The menu seems thought out and interesting, but the short rib was dry and the octopus was over cooked. The desserts were okay but nothing to write home about. Not pictured is a glass of red wine and a Carajillo. Nothing would have me wanting to come back. If I decide to come to another show more than likely I'll choose to just enjoy a cocktail. read more

I first visited Doc's in mid-April for a Disney show. Unfortunately, it was raining and the power was out, so as a first-time guest, I did not feel like I got a true experience of the venue. A lot went wrong that night, but I will say our server was delightful. I spoke with the manager, Sergio, and he promised to take care of my friends and me if we decided to come back. I truly appreciate him for keeping his word! We returned this past Saturday for the Prodigy and Felix De Leon Quartet show, and the show itself was amazing. The song choices were great, the crowd was into it, and overall the energy was there. I do wish the set was a bit longer (maybe closer to 90 minutes), because it felt like it ended quickly. Unfortunately, that is where the good experience ended. Our server this time (Jiovanni/Giovanni, unsure of spelling) was rude from the moment we sat down. We were genuinely confused because we had done nothing to warrant that kind of energy. He brought water but was very short with us, and when I asked for a straw, it took a while, meanwhile, the table in front of us (a party of 8) already had drinks and food (before I had a straw). We also noticed he was much more friendly and engaging with them, while we felt... like stepchildren, honestly. We had to flag him down just to place our order because he kept rushing past our table. When we finally ordered, we tried the Peach Serenade (so good!) and the short rib empanadas. The empanadas were decent, but for $18, I do think there should be at least four instead of three. Also, a deeper dish for the sauce would help. We noticed other tables receiving complimentary chips, which we were offered on our first visit but not this time. When we asked, he brought them but then told us we would be charged $8 because they are "imported from Spain." I am sorry, but they tasted like off-brand Lays, so that was... questionable. Another issue: the menu clearly states that parties of 6 or more are charged 20% gratuity, yet our party of 4 was automatically charged 20% as well (and only 3 of us even ordered food/drinks). I had to ask for it to be removed, which I did not enjoy doing, but the service we received absolutely did not warrant an automatic 20% tip. For reference, valet is $10, but there is also a free parking lot across the street on the far right. After two subpar experiences, I do not see myself returning, but I genuinely hope others have a better time and am very thankful to Sergio for giving us a chance to come back to Docs! read more

My fiancé loves Disney so I took her to a live acoustic Jazz show for their music. This building is apparently around 90 years old so the wiring is funky. The show turns from electric to acoustic with no visuals on their big screen because of this during a rain storm. Having said that, the staff and band pivoted and put in a great performance. The 90 minutes flew by and we had a great time. This place has some great appetizers/starters. I recommend you and your date just get 3-4 and split everything along with some drinks. Their pear dessert was on point. Highly recommend it! Valet is $10 for back parking (longer wait) and $20 for upfront (short wait). read more

Doc's Jazz Club - Pear dessert on point! - Music Venues Near Me - Houston, Texas

Wow, what a great experience and show! On this Saturday night I attended the David Caceres Orchestra Ft. Kamil Bonner. They were great! Its been a long minute where I enjoyed the music and the songs as much as I did this evening. The place has been open approximately since Dec. of 2025 so not that long. The website lays out well the menu, about, events and ticket/calendar so suggest checking the website out. They have parking if you get there early enough and valet too. Would suggest getting seating there an hour at least in advance so you can get your food in advance of the show. Regarding the menu, it has a great assortment of choices that ranges from appetizers, signature dishes, cavier if you feel like dropping extra money, salads, pizza and pastas, entree's and sides. They have a full bar for various drinks too. On this night I enjoyed their Shrimp Dijon composed of shrimp sautéed in a creamy Dijon mustard, white wine, and lemon butter sauce. Served with warm, toasted sourdough for dipping. My main entree was Filet Mignon 6 oz.1855 Black Angus Steak topped with a wine reduction sauce, mashed potatoes and shrimp. We did finish it with dessert Poached Pear in Pinot Grigio Aromatic topped with creamy blue cheese and toasted walnuts. Many other great options on the menu to try out. I have to say though the best part of the night was the jazz band. They really hit out of the park. Overly impressed, which is hard for me to get excited about things these days. Oh, and it wasn't so loud that it overwhelmed your eardrums. Service was great and funny. All the way from when we were received to food orders. Crowd was good and everyone was sat in a timely too. All that said, I would and look forward to coming back again and would encourage anyone to attend one of these events along with bring your appetite. read more

I came here for Disney night. They had a TV and I think they were supposed to play Disney videos in the background as they were playing. Unfortunately, it's an old bar and there was an electrical malfunction, which caused the TV to not work and also the electric guitars and that part of the band we're not able to be played. They did however, improvise, and we were still able to play via acoustic.. I would have really liked to see the full production, so I hope they do another Disney night. They did what they could and i still had a nice time. The short rib empanadas were very good along with the bruschetta. I wasn't a fan of the mini beef Wellington, though. The espresso machine was also down due to electrical issues so I was not able to get my Irish coffee. read more

I ordered the heirloom bruschetta and the bread was NOT toasted. I informed the waiter and the kitchen sent out 4 slices of bread slightly more toasted. I placed it all on the same tray. Very disappointing. After the pizza came which was excellent, they got it right! It was delicious and tasty. After we had the pizza the heirloom bruschetta arrived and this time it was correct. Unfortunately, by this time we were not interested. I was very excited to Kerr Ki'ora Michelle I had listened to her for a couple years at the Palm restaurant and she did not disappoint! She sang some jazz standards doing a good job. There were technical difficulties that caused feedback. It seems the solution was to change the settings, causing the sound to be muddy. At the 1/2 way point in the set Ki'ora found her voice and the music came alive. The staff were very accommodating and available. The band "in my opinion" lacked soul and the improvisation was just ok. Sorry to be a music critic, but my expectations were very high! My experience was a crash landing. On the bright side, the theaters ambience was awesome. Would like to go there again with more realistic expectations. I am neutral regarding this business. GN3 read more

I attended an awards party and it was a private catered event. The inside is spacious and had a big elevated stage. You can sit floor level or up in the balcony area where there is a separate bar. Most seating has a good view of the stage. One of the managers Nick graciously helped me with freeing my bag from the embroidery on my dress. Somehow I managed to hook it across my dress and would've surely ripped it had I not had assistance. Service from the staff was excellent and they were efficient and friendly. The hostess got everyone sorted and seated. The food was delicious. I sampled the charcuterie and a pizza. The wine was also really nice. I had a red from Italy and they also had white wine available. The parking situation is close by with choices in a lot or some street parking. I'd love to come back on a regular evening for a performance next time I'm in Houston. read more

The opening of Doc's Jazz Club was much needed in Houston. We went for first time last night with friends for the We Want The Funk show which was great. We had dinner first and all our food was delicious--Doc's Burger, Grilled Broccolini, Shrimp Dijon, Mediterranean Salad, Fried Brussels, etc. Our server was Kimberly and she was great. Most people were dressed up nice which is refreshing to see. It was like stepping back in time when people put more effort into getting dressed. I wore a somewhat casual dress and felt just fine but if you enjoy getting spiffed up a bit, you'll fit right in at Doc's as it's a classy place. The staff is very nice and welcoming as well. We'll return! read more

A friend of mine celebrated her birthday at Doc's Jazz Club, and we had an amazing time. The live jazz was exceptional, and the vibe and ambiance were classy yet perfectly chill. The service was great, and the food was good. Full transparency--we were about three shots to the wind, so I didn't get any food pics . My wife ordered the steak with mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts, and I stuck with a couple of French 75s while happily nibbling off her plate. Everything I tasted did not disappoint. Overall, Doc's delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. 10/10 -- would absolutely return. read more

Art Deco, originally a 1936 cinema. Parking is shared within a shopping strip; 2 valet rates: A. close to the door $20 B. rear parking $10 Renovations are well thought out and cinema vibes shine in the large picturesque windows in the entry and marquee. A friendly hostess stands greets you in lobby with bathrooms. There's an open room with ample intimate tables and chairs and small dining table lights and mood lighting. There's upstairs seating, angreat acoustics, staff posted near the kitchen awaiting full kitchen and bar orders. The chef made a special visit to our table to inform us he wasn't satisfied with the pork chop and would comp an alternative option. Asked his favorite, he highlighted the steaks or a pasta special. Once order was delivered he awaited our impression. It was rewarding delicious entrees and ambiance. The jazz set was almost two hours for our audience filled with their large loving family. read more

The ambience, the food, the jazz band were all five out of five stars. Our server was also really nice and patient with us. We ordered the short rib empanadas, the beef Wellington, the pasta of the day, which was a Bolognese over Angel hair pasta, and a catch of the day which was salmon over a bit of vegetables. Price point for food and drinks is on the higher end. As for the one hiccup I booked a tiny table right in front of a fat pole that obstructed our view completely and I brought it to the manager's attention because when I booked the tickets, it did not say that it was gonna be an obstructed view. It was also near the kitchen and there was a lot of foot traffic in and out. Against a wall under a tv. The manager was nice and did resolve the issue and relocated us to an empty table eventually. Unfortunately, the place was sold out so this was a lucky thing for us. Please double check your tickets and table location before booking. read more

Jazz is back and lives in Montrose! After a couple of the jazz clubs in downtown closed, I really hadn't found a place to enjoy. That is until Doc's took over the historic 1930's Tower Theatre building, which has undergone many iterations of businesses over the years from video store to Tex-Mex restaurant to name a few. Now I am glad that it is being revived with a musical jazz space that has been missing in Houston. My visit was for the soft opening, the first look that asks to be mindful as the kind of night where you stay open to the experience, knowing it's still settling into its own skin. They offer complimentary valet parking or self parking is also available on the side of the building. Additionally they do offer rider share with ALTO and 15% off discount when using their code DOCS15. The dress code I would say is business casual to dressy. It is good for date night, groups or solo to enjoy some jazz. Ambiance: 3/5 The vibe was very relaxed with the jazz band entertaining and keeping it looking classy. While the club is very nostalgic with its historic site, once inside, it felt very industrial and cold. I don't recall seeing any art on the walls nor any type of connection, which probably is only focused on the band. The reason for the 3/5 is because depending where you are seated, the kitchen can upstage the double bass and distract from movements where you're wrapped in the harmonies. There is no door separating the kitchen from the dining room, so at times the kitchen drowned out the music. Not sure if maybe placing a heavy curtain as they do in another historic venue in River Oaks does do muffle some of the outside noise would help. Service: 4/5 They did have a house full of servers and bussers being attentive and making sure everyone was taken care of. The busser kept my glass filled with the water I ordered, but wasn't offered any more water after I finished the bottle. Food: 4/5 Not sure if the menu is the permanent one as it did have "soft opening and the date printed on it" but based on what I ordered at this time: Espresso Martini: it was good, made with coffee liqueur but wasn't too sweet. Savannah Sling: was refreshing but was a bit watered with a lot of ice. It was boozy because after one, I felt it. I didn't have an entree, but did have a side of fries with garlic aioli, for the cost felt it was a bit steep for the the handful serving size I got. The garlic aioli was good and the fries were seasoned, but when I dipped the fry in the sauce, the fries lost their flavor. At the end I did receive a complimentary glass of champagne. Kim Prevost and the band were entertaining and enjoyed their show. I'll be on the look out for future shows, and excited to experience modal, swing and big band jazz. Doc's is refining its edges and finding its groove amongst the history, the music and the potential. read more

As a venue, I loved the vibe of the music and being able to have conversation with the person who you are sitting with! It was a nice place, but you don't have to dress extremely fancy. I will say that the food was a let down, they charged $6 do sparkling water and the $28 charcuterie board was a let down. Also, the servers seemed to try and control the waitstaff in a way, as if the waitstaff didn't know where orders were supposed to go. I also felt like our server was a little too over friendly and kept checking in multiple times during the show, i understand a few times but it was like 10. Overall, I would come back for JUST the show but not the food. If anything, a bottle of wine would be perfect. read more

Overall very pleasant night. We had the most delightful waitress, Lindsey, and sat center balcony for the first show. The wine was superb - we ordered the cab from the menu. (They have what looks as if it will be a good wine selection as well - although menus were not available yet. I'll be interested in seeing it next time.) We were there for the experience mainly which delivered. We were able to easily chat without distracting others. The music was the perfect volume - not too loud, not too soft. Next time, we maybe more likely to stick to appetizers & sides next time as we enjoy trying more things. The tartare was fresh. The ceviche sounded great but since we had tartare, that was out of the running for the main. We landed on the half chicken dish. It was pleasant especially with lemon squeezed on it but not exceptional. It was oddly smaller than anticipated & had very little visual interest. If its skin was roasted or there were sides, it would have helped with the aesthetics. We enjoyed the sauce so a little more of that would have also been beneficial. But again, we were there for the vibe & would go again. Kim Prevost had a great voice - we thoroughly enjoyed her voice and the band. I hope they also mix in some younger talent later on to draw a mixed younger/hip crowd. The crowd was mixed the night we went - which adds to the appeal. Keeping in mind, we were there for a soft opening - there are a few things that will likely be tweaked over time. One is that the overhead lighting upstairs will need to be taken down a notch. The placement of the lights are just in front of the table & overhead which is annoying for a person with glasses like myself. Dim them or consider floor lighting to enhance the mood. The downstairs area seemed to be the right balance of bright - you can see your food but, it still had ambience. read more

The band was great. We didn't eat there as we had dinner beforehand at a close by restaurant. The drinks however, were TERRIBLE. There were four of us and each ordered a different type of cocktail. None of us finished our drinks. We didn't complain but for $18 to $20 a drink it was very disappointing. We most likely will return in the future to see another band and if the drinks aren't good, we will definitely send them back. Also, at some point during the night, my husband and the wife of the other couple stopped into the restrooms, both came back saying each greatly needed attention. read more

Finally, a place to go for dinner and music. We were just there a few days ago for dinner and a show of The Buena Vista music from Cuba. A classy place with great, attentive service and very good food. Generally, you go to a place like this for the music and hopefully decent food. At this venue you also had a diverse menu, both food and wine and what both my wife and I had was very good. I loved the Heirloom Carpaccio and Clams Casino. It was a full house and the seating around the stage is perfect and very professional. It reminded me of the Blue Note in NY. You can pick your table on their website, and it's accurate. Check out the upcoming calendar for the different kinds of music. March 3rd we are going back to hear music/ songs from famous Broadway shows. A great experience in Houston you should not miss. read more

We were so excited to come to Doc's! After reading previous customers' reviews, we didn't have high expectations for the food or the service, but expected the music to be great. We saw Rickey Davis. The band was amazing, Rickey did great, and the guest singer was phenomenal. Service/food wise... we were given water and chips. No one else came to check on us or take our order during the 1.5 hours we were there. We ended up getting Cane's after the show because we were starving. Like I said, we didn't have high hopes for the food or service, but it was worse than I anticipated. I would say to eat before you go, or be super naggy with your server or you might not eat! read more

Loved the experience here for a girls night. The check in process was straight forward. Reservations are staggered to allow room for the servers to manage tables.

What a perfect addition to Houston' nightlife! We went on NYE so I don't know their typical menu but the food was unexpectedly great. The soup and sea bass were excellent. Our server also exceeded expectations, making the evening even better. The show by Tianna Hall was brilliant. Tickets were very pricy but that could've been for NYE. I would definitely return since it's such a great concept for a date or a fun group. The interior was more warehouse chic style than a posh supper club, but it didn't impact our experience. read more

This is upscale jazz club and it also serves food. The minute you walk in you feel like you are in another era. People dress up, the service was excellent and food was great. We ordered the tuna tartare appetizer it was excellent. We also had the Wellington bites that were delicious but small. The empanadas were great also. The octopus was main dish it was a bit too chewy but seasoned well. What wonderful addition to Houston. The only thing is wine is very expensive for what receive. my husband ordered a bottle of wine that was recommended. He paid over $80 for the bottle and it retails for $14. I know they usually double the price a little bit more but this was quite a big markup considering all they do is open up the wine bottle. read more

Do you like Jazz? If so check out Doc's! Since a few choice Jazz spots have closed around H-town over the last few years (looking at you Ready Room) when Doc's opened I've been wanting to check it out. Went on a Friday night. They have two sets typically 7pm and 9pm. We chose the 7pm so we could eat there. Arrived around 6:30pm. Valet parking is right out front, $10 for backlot and $20 for front. It's Montrose so not unexpected and well worth it. The club itself is amazing, set in an old theatre. Extremely well done and remodeled. Table on the first floor second row. Prices ranges from $60-70/pp so not cheap. We got seated and got drinks going. Had a few lays chips to start which was interesting but appreciated and they were all eaten lol. We got the tuna tartar, beef empanadas and shrimp Dijon. All were honestly pretty good but not amazing. Band was amazing, ambiance moody and low lit perfect for the setting. Overall we had an amazing time and will certainly be back. If you're looking for a nice romantic jazz night check it out. read more

Visited Doc's Jazz Club for date night with my my husband. We had such a great experience! We watched the Woody Witt band play Cowboy Bebop and they were absolutely amazing. We sat on the 2nd floor balcony and although we had a great view, be advised there is a wire barrier that slightly obstructs the view of the band. Great acoustics and lovely ambiance. Our server was lively and attentive. Drinks and food were good. We had a paper plane cocktail and a glass of red wine. For food, we got the charcuterie board, shrimp, and fries. The shrimp were the star with the tangy sauce they were served in. Be aware that parking is $10 and valet only. We did have to wait almost 30 min for our car to be retrieved as there were only 3 attendants working that night and a full house. Not too bad, but it was pretty cold out! We are looking forward to returning in the future! read more

Amazing atmosphere, amazing staff, and such a great vibe honestly. I can't remember the name of the band playing the night we went but they were wonderful. One of the members ended up chatting with my fiancé and was very nice. The food was delicious. We ordered the charcuterie appetizer and it was so so good. I had the branzino entree that was also fabulous and my fiancé had a pasta of the night or something of the sort, he loved it!!! Was a perfect date night we will be back! Overall we spent around 300$ for tickets, food, drinks, and tipping our server 20%. read more

What a cool experience! I had planned this as an anniversary gift AND Christmas gift. We went on the night that Tianna Hall was performing Christmas hits. Overall the food was great! We had the empanadas, the Caesar Salad, and my husband had the pasta of the day (black pepper fettuccine or something like that) and I had the baked Chicken with the Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. Wow!! What a meal! Our waitress was good, even though we had to move tables because there was confusion about what table we reserved. All good tho! We ended the night with dessert and nightcap. Now the music was phenomenal! My only compliant and the reason why I'm not giving this 5 stars was the SOUND!!! Multiple times there was excessive feedback that was prolonged. Something was up with the mic set up. It happened at almost all the cool parts of the songs like when she sang or when the saxophone player did a solo. Very disappointing that the sound guy couldn't figure it out after the first mishap and it continued happening. You can see the look of frustration on the singer and bands whole face :/ This will not deter me from returning though. Maybe after a few more shows they will get that fixed. read more
