    Was looking for a local Jazz Lounge to take my boyfriend for his 30th. I didn't want to go somewhere crowded or rowdy since he prefers a more relaxed and serene atmosphere. I found out this lounge does late night jazz which worked perfectly for our evening plans and is near where we live. I noted that they just sold beer and wine when booking the ticket so I wasn't expecting a full bar. Tickets were available online and you had the option to select your seats. We arrived for the show and were immediately greeted by Leonard, one of the staff and musicians. He showed us our seats, pointed out the musicians, let us know they'd be starting shortly, and brought us menus with beer, wine, and a few canned cocktail options. The space was small and intimate. The musicians introduced themselves and spoke directly to the crowd before and during their show. It was awesome to feel really immersed in the experience. They did a fantastic job riffing off of each other and giving space to one another for an engaging and entertaining performance. We were really happy to find this gem and hope they can keep putting on these shows.

    The jazz lounge is amazing! Came here on a Thursday night and enjoyed the live jazz music performance. It's a nice intimate place with local folks supporting the jazz community. Tickets can be purchased online and drinks are available for purchase.

    You have to pre order your food before you get there online. It's ok the best because it's ordered from another place. You can also bring your own wine but they will charge you a corking fee.

    An updated review. They came through with flying colors and made us very happy. Well done and we cannot wait to go back. Huge thanks to the Jazz Lounge team.

    Strolled into the intimate Jazz Lounge near Rolando with my sultry shawty yesterday evening to enjoy the cool vibe & live tunes. This reputable music hall is cozy & warm with excellent acoustics. Reserved seating proved to be spaciously comfortable. Sight lines are excellent. Box lunches, soft drinks, brew & wine are available for a fair price. Honestly, the minimalist supper was not bad at all. Entire service staff is friendly attentive and efficient. A brief show presented by mostly local tunesmiths started a tad tardy but was entertaining & enjoyable. Special space without a doubt. A satisfying musical experience that I would recommend for all. Stoner Grub Ranking: 5.0

    This rather nondescript store front jazz club is a very nice, intimate venue to hear some really cool jazz. The long, narrow space seats about 40 people at small round tables for two. Acoustics are good. Everyone receives complimentary water. Soft drinks, wine and beer are available for purchase. Service was excellent. Parking is on the street and in a small car park behind this set of stores. Overall, a very good experience. Well be back.

I ordered right when the Movie, Began. I was late and so Glad 20 min. the Movie hasn't started yet. Rolling other film Previews. SCORE!I *does arm chug, lifts knee to an angle. *does it **again**. Experimented to try other Tingz on the Menu, + it wasn't (unfortunately) worth it for me, these items... Hot dog, truffle fries were battered more than I Hoped . It was Very expensive . So, you'll have to Choose what is Worth it for you, (items) on the menu. The croutons were hmm diced baguette pieces and not garlic, butter flavored. (Tears) When I pressed the button, to my in-house butler ;) .. the Server, took their Sweet time to come to me. Also, I ordered online, the gratuity tip was automated $8.00 which I don't feel was deserved. I did Love the Gentleman wishing me a 'Goodnight', in the end. It does make a Difference. Some were Busy Closing their end-of-the-Night tasks, Rather than making it a Guest experience. Other than that... I Still had a 10/10 TIME w the Movie I watched, and Overall Enjoyed myself, AGAIN! *Happy dance. The Audience was Great, Interactive, consisted of mostly women for this 'Chick Flick' + I felt we Experienced the movie Together~ everyone giggling at the same time, cringing, upset, in the same moments of the Film, etc. etc. . . Left w Smiles. Smiles All Around. . :) Millennials singing to 'Greatest Mistake', by Sheryl Crowl, waiting in the Ladies Room...(as it played in the Background + echoed throughout the Hallway walls, walking out of the Theatre. . .) Left with a feeling of Accomplishment + sense of Purpose of a Good Time Had. And, Hopeful for many, Many More ! ~~Let the GOOD TIMES, ROLL. 'Til Next Timee! Ciao* ***** The BEST. I Love coming Here!! Will be Bacck! I had an Awesome Experience!! + I Truly Enjoyed myself :) I had a Lot of Fun . I Saw the New Spiderman Movie. . . So Glad to have Spontaneously decided to go Here Friday Night. Side note: This Experience was Truly Meant to be & was Exactly what I Needed. And, I am So Thankful. The Stars were Aligned, Alligning.*****Again. Very Comfy Chairs, w/arm rests. .Felt like VIP, First Classs. You have a Server that comes to you with One Push of a Button ;) . You have your own Personal Butler. You can order Food w them or with QR Code. It depends but the Food came out like 10-15 min. (It was Longer for the Salmon.) They have a lil' Night Light on the Side and a lil' Table that swivels. You Kick Back + have your Feet Up on the Recliner, as the Back part Tilts to an Angle.... & There, you Relax the Night Away. Super Expensive Food ....but def Worth the Experience ... if you want to make it Special. :) Call me Boujee but it's Def. for those that Like to be Pampered. Fried Calamari is so Bombbb. It was Perfect in Every way. No Complaints. The Crunch is Sharp + Pierces your ears and those around you. You can tell they Perfectly drained it and let it sit out, as it was oil-free. And, the Parmesan Added a Richness to Tie it All Together. Last time I had the salmon, brussels and mash. (I could make this dish at Home-but it was my Birthday.) It was very Good. Brussels were thoroughly cooked... & easy to bite into, your teeth goes through the vegetables without Resistance. Everything on my plate was Soft + Tender. Note: The movie doesn't Start on the dot. They play a Few other films Prior (incase you're Running Late). *If you don't like your Seat, Any Seats Left Open AFTER the Movie Starts you can Steal. *When choosing your seat online, make sure that it's not Upfront near the Screen... like I Did. It gave me some Anxiety being that Close to the Screen. Luckily, my Butler (^o^) helped me, (which was so Awesome) Move to a Better Seat... which gave some distance & a Better view. *You can have Non-Alcoholic drinks *They do have Dessert. I Do Like it when they have Greeters, when you walk in. (There wasn't Any.) And, it felt a lil' Ghost Town w no Human Interaction, Out Front. I Do Like it when they check your Tickets, (Makes it more Professional. They didn't this Time + you were able to just walk in.) Having Employees Posted out Front makes it more Professional, Elite, Private and Structured. There was no white glove service, (this time) aside from my partially Attentive Server. Last Time, I was Greeted by the tenant at the Concession Stand. And, my ticket was checked. But, overall it is a Luxurious Experience. The Theatre Reminds me of: MTV Cribs where the Pop Stars had their own Movie Theatre in their Home. ;) So, Across the Front Entrance, is a Lounge area-Restaurant + Bar. I Hope to Check out Oneday, as it also has a Romantic view at Night, under the Stars, And, is very Pretty. It's So Cool + I'm Really Grateful we have something like this in San Diego, at Liberty Station. I'm Looking Forward to coming Back.

    This place was a mess today. Plenty of people on staff but our movie did not start on time. We were…read moreexcited to see the new Spiderman today and night lunch next door. We raced to get to the theater on time carrying our plates of food and we got into the theater and it was not cleaned yet. We made an effort to clean our own seats and got comfortable and started eating. The staff showed up after the movie start time and kicked us out while they cleaned. No apologies. We picked up our plates and utensils and waited in the very hot hallway. They are trying to save money i guess by not running the AC for the entire theater. I'm pretty sure they turned the AC off in the restrooms too. This place used to be a great theater. We've been there a ton of times. They also set off the fire alarm today interrupting our late starting movie. They blamed it on a smoker but who knows. They made us all wait outside for maybe 20 minutes while they left the alarm going. I worker came outside and filmed us all waiting for them to reopen. Customer service comes second here. Not sure what happened to this place. It was considered a close Cinepolis for us but their stock is down with my family now. Oh and when we finally got back in side no special considerations were made, the movie had run past the spot it paused for us and they left the lights on in the theater for 10 minutes. Then they rewound the movie again and made us watch the same few minutes over again. Customer service is dead here.

It is very interactive so for that reason, I think it's definitely an acquired taste. The actors were incredible and really knew how to keep the audience engaged. I really wish the actors had a microphone because even though the room is small, it echos and when anybody at your table laughs, you miss what they are saying. I also did not like how close we were sitting to each other at the table. They should have less people at each table and bring more tables in. The food was the reason I took off a star. The food was incredibly disappointing. For $70, you would think they could serve better food. It's a 3 course meal and all were bad. The appetizer was like 4 tomatoes with balsamic. Not a salad and very small for an appetizer. I'm really glad they had a pita bread and hummus bar in the beginning because that kept me full until the main course. I got the vegetarian option which was pasta with veggies but the pasta was so over cooked it was like mush. I've never had pasta that soft. My bf got the chicken and he also felt it was too dry and it wasn't served with anything with substance like mashed potatoes or veggies or anything. Just some piece of kale. Dessert was cake. I thought it was cheesecake but it was more like coffee cake. Also very bland. No frosting or anything, just a little whip cream. Other than food, it was so much fun!!

You would think if you have construction in the future, you would not allow anybody to book and take deposits and plan a day around it. However, they were willing to try to accommodate me and later weeks, simply not good enough as her birthday is on that date. Nothing was offered as far as special accommodations.

For a business to be running such an operation to have such a lack of hospitality when I had to reach out four different times through email and then call to get a refund on.

And back then- majority of staff were wearing face masks. This location is in Downtown San Diego in the lower level of Courtyard by Marriott. Down below are old bank vaults, that we opened for guests to walk in a few years back- during intermission. This time, they were closed. And I was told by another family member- they're now utilized as meeting/ event space. But, next to vault and alcohol bar below- there are also telephone rooms. Wooden closets w/ a cushioned bench. The old public wooden telephones had a brass hand crank and a wooden ear piece. We had a group of ten both times we attended and unfortunately were not seated together. Although both experiences were Christmas gifts for all of us to hang out- we had a social hour upstairs at the pool table area. Which worked out because I had no idea our tables would be split, due to our group size. The appetizer menu is vegetables, hummus, and pita chips. Check out the website for dinner menu. The pre set Greek Salads at the tables were delicious! Vine ripe tomatoes, Persian cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olive & red wine vinaigrette to start off with. What I didn't appreciate (along with some guests assigned to our table also- is that the salad plates were quickly removed from us while we were still finishing up). Both times, we had the chicken. And this time, the chicken was DEFINITELY not the highlight. Most likely it was the frozen breasts w/ grill marks on them and just reheated. No flavor. Tough as heck. The accompanying herbed polenta, braised kale, and heirloom tomato relish was good. The actors are fast paced. Be suspicious of those at your table, people you meet in the lobby below as you're waiting to enter the dinner room. Be observant. Ears and eyes open. Make sure your phone is charged- since you can scan a few QR codes during this experience. Which are also the clues that will be posted to the Clue Board. Another cool thing, someone that's part of this dinner mystery may use an attendee's social media as props! Like, obtaining photos- which is hilarious- bc it's part of the dinner mystery! There are gratuity envelopes at the center of every table. Although it's optional, of course, the gesture is appreciative. Restrooms are located at the main lobby and below. Stairs and elevator access. Valet parking available.

Was pretty terrible. As always with the Civic, the getting out of the theater is always terrible to try to get to the parking lot the elevators always packed and then you figure out the people are going up a flight of stairs and getting on to the elevator up above so you have no chance from being in ground level and getting on to them and then you get into the parking structure and finding your car and waiting to get out but just the initial getting out of the theater and having to walk up all the stairs to your parking level then the smell of urine throughout the stairwell is always lovely. I'm a native San Diegan and have been coming to the theater as long as I can remember and they need to have a new theater somewhere away from downtown to have events the downtown experience is terrible the homeless situation is terrible the urine situation is terrible it's time to move the Civic. And also don't allow people to bring food into the theater it's not a movie.
