However, I did need to relocate to a seat further from the stage to get good acoustics. One issue with these concerts; the main headliner is always announced, but you have no idea who will accompany the headliner talent; it seems like the headliner assembles the rest of the band at the very last minute, based on who in the area happens to be available. I lucked out with great bass and drum players.

Overall, the food was pretty tasty, though the okra had parts that was too hard and stringy to chew. The sound quality was great and the performance was magical!

The Bikila cocktail was definitely a bold choice and was a bit too strong and spicy for my taste. The peppers were clear in this cocktail and made for more of a savory taste. On the other hand, the Hakim was much more approachable, which was bright and balanced due to its more floral ingredients of pineapple, hibiscus, lemon, and rosemary. Great spot for adventerous cocktails, and an even better place for live music! The performers of the night were very talented and provided good entertainment for the night.

We had a great time listening to some great music from June Cavlan and band. The main seating area…read moreis on the lower area and is a nice traditional jazz bar setup with a good amount of seating and dimly lit ambience. The stage is small but enough for a small combo band with full size piano and good sound system. This was a bit of a learning experience for us as we discovered that there was a minimum food order of $30 per person in addition to the $50 we prepaid per person for the cover charge. We ordered a Double Smashburger with fries, additional side of parmeson fries, dinner salad, glass of wine, and mineral water. The hamburger, fries, and parmeson fries were delicious. The salad and dressing was good. The waiter was kind enough to let us know that there was a $90 minimum for our table of 3 that had not yet met. We decided to order 2 desserts. The Chocolate Ganache dessert was fantastic. The second dessert we ordered was a Guava Flan. There only a handful of dishes that I have ever eaten that have made it to my list of #1 worst dishes I have ever had. I was the last to try the Guava Flan and my party was eagerly waiting to see my reaction since they had already tasted it. The Guava Flan was unfortunately horrendous and not edible. I am not sure if it had gone bad or if the one who made it had issues with their taste buds or what...but it was absolutely the #1 worst tasting dessert I have ever had the displeasure of having. Aside from that, we had a great time. We will keep in mind the additional table minimums should we return to this establishment.

TLDR: Great venue, poor value and even worse service…read more The venue itself is very cool and the performances were lovely. And that's all the positives. The RUDE staff and the HIGH HIDDEN CHARGES ruined the experience for me. We had to pay for the ticket AND a minimum spend AND a fixed 22% service charge AND tax. The bill came out to be $100+ per person for a one hour jazz with light bites. The food was unfortunately not good as well, it was overpriced and the quality seemed store bought. The attitude of the staff was a big disappointment. We had some leftover food from lunch which we understood might not be allowed inside. Instead of simply telling us in one sentence "you can't bring your food in", the rude staff / manager gave us the dirtiest look, rolled his eyes, and kept on making dismissive gestures at us as we were seated. The unacceptable service doesn't deserve the 22% service charge. Because of all this, I unfortunately won't be going back.

I'm so glad we decided to stick around because it meant we scored the best seats in the house for the live jazz performance! Within the hour, the place completely filled up, and people were struggling to find a seat. If you want a good view of the band, get there early! The drinks were fantastic, especially if you're a bourbon or whiskey fan. The atmosphere is dark, moody, and romantic - perfect for a date night. We stumbled upon this spot by chance, and it ended up being one of my favorite surprises of this trip.

Radio Gatsby absolutely crushed it at our wedding and we are still talking about it!…read more We had a solo pianist for the ceremony, a quartet during cocktail hour, and a full band for dinner and dancing. Every part of the day had its own perfect vibe and they nailed all of it. They played every song we wanted and steered completely clear of the ones we didn't, which honestly meant so much to us. Our guests would not stop raving about the music all night and weeks after! We loved every second of it. The dance floor was full from start to finish. If you are looking for musicians who will genuinely make your day feel like YOUR day, book Radio Gatsby. You will not regret it!

Radio Gatsby brought life to our Microsoft corporate event!…read moreI hired Radio Gatsby for a Microsoft corporate mixer we hosted at The Dawn Club in downtown San Francisco, and they were absolutely phenomenal. The venue has a speakeasy vibe, so I requested jazz and they delivered it perfectly. Before the event they sent over an entire book of songs to choose from, and I picked a few I liked and left the rest up to them based on my direction. It was perfect. Their versatility and ability to read the room really stood out. Noam was fantastic to work with leading up to the event. Everything was seamless, professional, and handled with care. The band showed up early with great vibes and positive energy, and they immediately helped set the tone while I focused on final setup. They brought life to the happy hour. Everyone loved them and they were a huge part of what made the event such a success. I highly recommend Radio Gatsby and will absolutely hire them again for future events!

Needs more time in the barrel. Some tips: - It's very swanky. - I recommend reserving early so that you can get a seat against the wall; otherwise you get bonked every time fat people walk through the isle. - If you can't score a seat, stop by around 9:00 when the band takes a break after the first set; older people tend to leave at that time, and you can grab an open seat. - Just like every live music venue, the sound system is a little too loud, and can damage your hearing. Wear earplugs meant for concerts.

You book individual seats - interestingly a group had booked all the seats against the wall across several small tables. So my partner and I sat kind of next to each other, at chairs at small tables next to each other, while a couple was a cross the table from us at the continuous booth. We are in our early 40s and were probably the youngest folks there to give you a sense of the crowd, but everyone was having fun and enjoying themselves!

There's not a bad seat in the whole house. I actually love sitting in the back row of the balcony and that's where I purchased my seats, but when I got there, they had changed my seats to an area somewhat closer to the stage. The seat was still amazing with a great view of the stage, but I missed my back row! I think it was meant as an upgrade, so all I can do is appreciate it. I will definitely return for more performances.

If someone doesn't enjoy working with people or providing good customer service, the front desk is probably not the right place for them. Unfortunately, our interaction with her was extremely unpleasant. She ( black womsn wearing scarf and beanie) was rude in her tone, her demeanor, and in the way she communicated not only to me, but also to my elderly aunt. It was honestly disappointing. What made it stand out even more is that we later met another staff member who was passing out buttons for the kids' show. He was warm, welcoming, and excited to talk about membership and ways to support SFJAZZ. That is the kind of experience that makes you proud to support a San Francisco institution. I'm a local and I genuinely want to support organizations like this, but interactions like the one we had at will call make you second-guess whether you want to give your time and money. And if two of us walked away feeling this way, I'm sure we're not the only ones. Again, the performance and the rest of the experience were great this feedback is only about that one staff interaction. I hope management speaks with her, because the front desk sets the tone for the entire visit, and SFJAZZ deserves to be represented with the same warmth and professionalism that the rest of the team showed.
