I lucked out with great bass and drum players.

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.

I've had Biscuits & Blues bookmarked for a long time, and I finally came here last Saturday night…read morewith my man. I randomly saw an ad on Instagram for Lavay Smith & Red Hot Skillet Lickers. They looked & sounded really swanky so I was intrigued. I'm glad that someone took a photo of the parking details on here so we parked at that garage. Upon walking into the place, I asked the front desk person about the parking, and he gave me the parking discount stub so we were able to just pay $10 for parking at that garage. We tried to find street parking, but it was impossible. The place looks swanky. The stairs were adorn with little blue lights and flowers, which was lovely. The room downstairs was dimly lit with each table having a touch lamp with 3 levels of brightness. The restrooms were individual gender neutral stall rooms with a sink area. When I walked into the restroom area, this guy just walked out of a stall, and he just smiled at me then walked out into the room without washing his hands!!! I later noticed him, and I pointed him out to my boyfriend. Lol... He was the trombone player of the band. Lol.. We ordered the following items: - Golden Hour Spritz - pretty refreshing & bright - Louisiana Lemonade - also refreshing & sweet - Biscuits - pretty yummy, I liked the butter - Jambalaya - pretty tasty - Shrimp & Grits - cheesy and tasty - Peach & Blueberry Cobbler - too much blueberry and not enough peach; this was okay Service... It was mixed. Our server didn't bring us waters that we told her when we were ordering. We had to flag someone down for waters. She didn't come by to check on us or refill out waters. They're pretty quick at clearing plates when we finish them. Then when the check came, they tried to charge us for posters...? We didn't get any posters. Wtf... weird. We told her about it, and she apologized and removed it. Nonetheless... We still have an enjoyable evening listening to live music with the lovely jazz band. We weren't a fan of the trumpet player as it was too loud and shrill sounding.

And the band was tight. Service was abysmal - Andrew was the main problem. We still tipped nicely as it seemd like the place may pool tips and we wanted to not allow the bad service we got from Andrew to affect the other people that were working. The food wasn't really great either and the drinks were mediocre. Very cheap sysco mass produced junk food. We ordered: Espresso martini-- watery with a huge amount of whipping cream---noooo! Biscuit-- cold, crunchy, undercooked-- I am not sure how they achieved this combo, but they did. Shrimp and grits--- bland as hell. Cream and shrimp over firm grits. Not good. Catfish nuggets-- these were okay- the jalapeno tarter was nice. Sweet potato fries-- were good. Not crispy or hot. We were hungry so we didn't mind. Our main server was Andrew-- a few others also were helping too. They were much nicer. Andrew seemed to be on an entirely different plane of understanding what hospitality is. Can't confirm, but he seemed like he was of an " enhanced" nature. All sped up and not really interested in working...irritated and agitated at us. Our drinks and food got mixed up and delivered to the wrong tables. He dropped of the credit card for the table next to us. When the table asked, Where's our check, he snapped that he dropped it off-- that's when we noticed that it was sitting on our table and handed to the people next to us. He was rude, held my sister's drink by the rim while dropping it off doing a weird back armed spin... never asked how anything was. My sister had to wipe the rim with a napkin before drinking-- but got grossed out and ordered a different drink. We were there for the second show and apparently they ran out of the macaroni croquettes. Andrew with ZERO finesse just states, were out of the macaroni -- you want something else? I said what do you have? He acted all put out when I asked for a menu. I was also asking what the joint had because they were out of food by the second show. We had light appetizers elsewhere thinking that we would have dinner at the show-- super disappointed with the food. If the band wasn't so amazing I would have gotten up and left due to the lack of hospitality and manners. Great venue, the sound and acoustics are fabulous. We had a comfortable side booth and were super happy with our seating location. I would go back for the music. But not for the food or service.

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.

DJ ET is to blame for my wedding reception NOT going as planned…read more You see, in our planning, I had said, listen Ivy Hill, we are thrilled to be working with you as part of our event at Sand Rock Farm. We were excited to have a cellist playing as our guests got to mix and mingle. And yes, we were really looking forward to music being played as we ate and enjoyed our LONG awaited wedding reception (that had been postponed cuz...ya know...Covid.) But we said it repeatedly...There really was NOT going to be ANY dancing. There was dancing. Lots of it. And it is all DJ ET's fault. THANK GOODNESS!!!! Honestly, working with the entire team at Ivy Hill was a dream. Their selection of musical genres and musicians is nothing short of impressive. I will warn you now...that questionnaire is exhaustive...like it gets INTO the songs you like. But it is TOTALLY worth it. Matt reached out right before our reception just to check if we were good and to get us in touch with DJ ET. The cellist was AMAZING. And before you ask...YES...he can and WILL play a Game of Thrones medley. It was AMAZING. He also learned the music to my father's favorite hymn. When I heard him start to play it, I just started to cry because thanks to him, my father, who passed some time ago, was there...in that song...and in that cello. I can't recommend Ivy Hill Entertainment enough. They clearly have put in the work of bringing on the best of the best when it comes to musicians, performers and DJs. They take the headache and worry out of the planning and logistics. True pros in every sense. And my special nod to DJ ET who proved that the Mills Brothers and Blacksheep really DO belong on the same playlist.

Highly Recommended, Quality Entertainment: Wow - what a fantastic experience! Ivy Hill…read moreEntertainment truly is your "one stop music and entertainment shop." From working in events, I understand that heartfelt, professional, seamless entertainment is a key component to creating a memorable celebration. It brings people together, inspires guests, and sets the tone of your party. I've worked with some pretty cool musicians, but Ivy Hill Entertainment definitely stands out as the BEST. When it came time to plan the ultimate personal event - our wedding - we wanted a music-based celebration that stood apart from "typical wedding music". The idea was a multi-musical-styled evening showcasing classical music, New Orleans Big Band, a roaming violinist at dinner (Ivy Hill's gal, MJ, even played pop hits like Stayin' Alive and had everyone singing!), an intimate pub sing-along, and finally a rockin' reception. This was certainly an ambitious repertoire! I began researching bands/musicians and initially fell into a short panic. Most bands didn't seem to have the magical vibe, musical diversity, network, and professionalism (Can we count on the to show up for gods sake...) for me to book. In fact, none of the musicians resonated with our event's style.... and then I found Ivy Hill Entertainment. WOW. Game changer. From the moment of contact to the actual execution we had an amazing experience that was fun, stress free, collaborative, easy, and QUALITY. Ivy Hill has many options on how to book talent - actually super talent. You can hire anyone from a dope DJ to solo musician to the 9-musician "build-a-band" act we employed. My initial contact was Brian Bergeron who not only understood our vision, but encouraged us to make it happen. What an awesome guy. He was just as excited as we were! In fact, that's what stands out about Ivy Hill - their passion for music and events. They truly love what they do and understand the honor of being part of your event. Ivy Hill also offers such quality musicians! I couldn't believe we had all these cool people playing our wedding! It was great to see their musical backgrounds and sound samples from the website and resources. For our wedding, they supplied everything from the sound technician, musical equipment, speakers, musicians, and even an amazing Bandleader extraordinaire: Jon Devoto. Man, this guy was incredible! In addition to coordinating the musicians, he was also the lead singer, MC... and as a special request, include some mind-blowing tap dancing. Everyone loved him! I wish I could go through each of the musicians (Debbie Ilana, the New Classics, MJs Brass Boppers) because they brought so much flavor & style. It was like a mini-musical festival. The best part is that whatever you decide to book - whether it be an intimate musical vibe, dope DJ, or full-blown band - they deliver a memorable performance and professional experience. This team is full of talent and heart. They also have a big network of musicians and DJs so you don't need to worry about flaky musicians or no-shows. God forbid someone gets sick, they have the resources to ensure you are set. I trust them implicitly. I knew that I had nothing to worry about when booking them. The communication was clear and timely. We were in-line every step of the way. In fact, they are the only company I will use for future events. If you seek a top-notch service, this is the place for you. As you can see form their website, Ivy Hill Entertainment has a lot to offer. They exceeded our already high expectations. It is my pleasure to write this review and spread the word.
