We had 3 four top tables pushed together for our group. We dine out every Good Friday and the acoustics in this restaurant were great. We could hear conversation from one end of the table to the other. Several people had the Fish Fry special of fish and chips - some liked it, some didn't care as much for it. I didn't try it personally, but the plate had three decent size pieces of fish with a side of fries and coleslaw. Nice offering for Good Friday meal. Two of us had Chicken piccata and really appreciated that we could substitute out the side of pasta! One of us ordered a side of grilled veggies (highly recommend) and the other steamed broccoli. Highly recommend the grilled veggies! Good combination of different vegetables. The broccoli was good, but would have ordered without butter. There was a pool of butter they were swimming in. The piccata was good - 3 decent sized pieces of chicken breast. Note if you are not a red pepper fan, order the sauce without. I forgot to ask, but they were easy to pick out. The calamari was a good portion for an appetizer. We hoped they had cocktail sauce for it, but they only had marinara. The mesclun salad was very good and really good size for a half portion. We did not order dessert, but the cakes when you first walk in are quite impressive and imagine are delicious!

This is so cute and it's right next to the Northside Market. The whole area is filled with galleries and restaurants. The decor is true to the prohibition era, heavy on the velvet, black curtains, flooring made of barrels topped with an old timey TV that only plays I Love Lucy. Pricing is comparable to other speakeasies but their drinks are well made and gorgeous. For an extra $2 you can get this little sci-fi citrus bubble on top! Our entire party really enjoyed this place!

This is the only jazz bar I've been to so maybe what I'm about to say is typical for jazz clubs but the only thing I really dislike about coming here is that the audience tends to chit chat the entire time.
