    the bartenders steal your cash. plain and simple. If you need more characters then ok. They take your cash and don't provide accurate change

    Great venue for Jazz and "Old" time bar that you can smoke ( jazz area is no smoking). Great drink pricing and get a bag of fresh popcorn.

    Small fun place that is inexpensive. It is a smoking bar, so keep that in mind if those type of places bother you.

We chose the seven-piece band for our wedding, and they completely exceeded our expectations. From our ceremony to the last song on the dance floor, they created an incredible atmosphere that kept our guests engaged and entertained all night long. Even days after our wedding, we're still receiving compliments about how amazing the band was and how much fun everyone had. Louis was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. He was communicative, organized, and incredibly attentive to every detail, making sure nothing was overlooked. Their song list is extensive, and they were more than willing to learn additional songs to make our day even more personal. They also graciously accommodated a few last-minute requests, including shortening songs for key moments, and every special request was executed flawlessly. The music throughout the entire day was exceptional. The jazz duo during cocktail hour and dinner created the perfect elegant ambiance, while the full band brought unmatched energy to the reception. They had everyone on the dance floor, knew exactly how to read the room, and created such a fun, lively celebration. Their musicianship and professionalism were truly outstanding. Louis Pettinelli Entertainment played such a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable, and we are so grateful to the entire team. If you're looking for a band that is talented, professional, flexible, and knows how to create an incredible party, we cannot recommend Louis Pettinelli Entertainment highly enough. We would choose them again in a heartbeat!

So many people commented on how well they entertained every age group. Their sound was fantastic, and they brought an amazing, fun energy. Choosing wedding entertainment is a big decision, and if you want a great time, I highly recommend Intrinsic Groove. I'm also incredibly grateful to the management. Like many brides, I had plenty of questions and requests, which meant a lot of back-and-forth over email and phone. Louis and Theresa were always responsive, kind, and patient throughout. They made the entire experience smooth and professional from start to finish. I could go on forever about their raw talent. They didn't just play music--they created an unforgettable atmosphere that had everyone on the dance floor. Highlight of our big day.

The menu was simple and sophisticated.. we chose the bruschetta for an appetizer. Delicious.. everything about this place from the service, the music and the food was incredible!

    Had a great time at dinner with a friend at Zollie's!…read more Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, talented jazz musicians providing entertainment for our Saturday dinner. It's a small place, and the music can be a little loud, so best for a smaller, intimate group of diners. Cocktails were solid --- my friend ordered the Winter White Cosmo (which uses white cranberry juice), which was delicious, and I chose the Lady in Red, a vodka drink featuring hibiscus and elderflower which was yummy as well. We started with the cornbread and the brussels sprouts. The cornbread was good, though the texture was more dense and less crumbly than I expected... and though it's pitched as "sweet and spicy," the emphasis is more on "sweet." The brussels sprouts with fig-balsamic glaze and parmesan were delicious, though! My friend ordered the gumbo, which she enjoyed but noted it was quite spicy! I chose the salmon, which is cooked en papillote with a banana leaf and served with a salad of arugula, bell peppers, mango, and papaya on top. The salmon texture was perfect, and it was a delicious, lighter option for dinner. Overall, the food didn't blow my mind, but it's such a fun and welcoming atmosphere that I would definitely go back.

The beef rib pasta was fantastic as was the whole Branzino. We would have both again. The grilled shrimp skewer was a definite plus. The only real miss was the risotto, that wasn't too creamy. The tempura style mushrooms tasted a little like flour. The desserts however got back on track and were without. We had two mixed drinks, and all told for three adults was about 65 each. A little pricey but felt the quality was worth it. Service was outstanding.
