I asked about the special ( at 3 PM) and the staff immediately started looking in the refrigerator for spaghetti. I was informed they were out. I wouldn't have wanted it anyway when I discovered that it would likely be cold and refrigerated, and heated in a microwave. Who wants cold spaghetti heated in a microwave at a restaurant? I chose the fish & chips for $18.99 instead. The fish had a noticeable frozen taste. The fries were unremarkable. The cocktail sauce served with the meal was ice cold. This was my second attempt to get a decent meal at Whirlow's since the pandemic. However, the quality has fallen drastically. I'm sorry to say I won't be back.

Ollie and Jazz Odyssey were fun, pleasant to work with talented! I am a pro event planner and…read moreprefer to hire bands directly, rather than pay an agent. I was fortunate when my girlfriend and I went out to the Local Edition and Ollie was playing with Jazz Odyssey. I thought they were great at the time as I sipped on my $18 cocktail but didn't think much more of it! Flash forward to a couple of weeks later when my super-well-know tech client, who was throwing an 1,100+ employee holiday party at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, requested a jazz band. I quickly figured out how to reach Ollie and his band and booked them to play. They were amazing, providing the perfect ambiance for folks to hang out and connect with each other without being overpowered by the music. That said, there's no doubt in my mind they could easily command an audience and play jazz standards that appeal to everyone too. Given the chance, I would not hesitate to hire them again!

We'd seen Ollie and the band play on several YouTube videos we'd found online but nothing really compared to having them play live. As a jazz band they brought a beautiful energy to our wedding reception that impressed not just us but our 150 wedding guests. The music really was so beautiful and executed to perfection. Ollie is very easy going and was amenable to all our requests. A big shout out to Ben the keyboardist, too, who played Otis Redding's "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" as we walked down the aisle :) They really were a great band to work with :)

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!

And then when the band started playing during the dinner, it was clear that they would make the night. People were dancing even before the dinner ended and the dance party began. Radio Gatsby brought so much energy with their renditions of the songs we chose; the floor was crowded with dancers all night as they played banger after banger. They took great solos, sang beautiful vocals, and made every moment special, from the first dance to the hora to the last song. It was well worth the extra expense of having a live band instead of a DJ, no question about it!

He arrived on time, setup quickly, and did a fantastic job. We worked together closely to figure out the appropriate set list given the sensitivity of the event.

We even ended up doing an impromptu song and guitar performance from some of my guests! . I would hire Daniel and his team again in a heartbeat!

I began producing dance events in the Bay Area featuring the RSJO to the delight of many who filled the dance floor. The Orchestra has graced most ballrooms that the Bay Area has to offer, including far and wide throughout the land. On October 11, 2014, I had the pleasure of hosting the grand opening of the Presidio Officer's Club in San Francisco and RSJO headlined. The audience of 400+ listeners and dancers filled the Moraga Ballroom with unstoppable toe tapping and DANCING to rhythms of Swing, Fox Trot, Rumba, Tango and Waltz. The sea of smiles was infectious. Carla Normand's vocals are in sync with the era of her focus. Her presence is divine and backed by 10 superb musicians with Maestro Don Neely at the helm. Standing O ! If you are looking for pros to play for your next event or party, I would highly recommend giving them a call. You'll be thrilled you did. If you know the RSJO will be playing a public event, I'd suggest going and hear it live. The best live ensemble of music in the Bay Area and beyond when it comes to music of the 20s, 30s and 40s. Their recordings are in my collection and I highly recommend adding RSJO to your library.
