I had a great experience at Vibrato Grill Jazz. It's a beautiful jazz club with amazing acoustics and a perfect layout where every seat has a great view of the stage. They rotate bands daily, so there's always new talent and something fresh to enjoy. It's never the same band twice. The food and desserts were top notch, and it's a great spot for either a large group or a date. The waiters were very nice and accommodating, and everything flows really well overall. read more

Vibrato Grill Jazz - Jazz & Blues Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My recent evening at Vibrato Grill Jazz offered a refined blend of culinary craftsmanship and live performance, set within one of the more elegant jazz venues in the Los Angeles area. From the moment of arrival, the atmosphere establishes itself as both sophisticated and intimate. The room is thoughtfully designed, with warm lighting, tasteful décor, and acoustics that elevate the live music experience without overwhelming conversation. The venue strikes a careful balance--energetic yet controlled--making it equally suitable for a night of entertainment or a focused dining experience. A particularly memorable highlight of the evening was a visit to our table from Eden Alpert, daughter of Herb Alpert. She was gracious, engaging, and genuinely attentive, adding a personal touch that reinforced the establishment's commitment to hospitality at every level. The culinary program reflects intention and care. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, with clear attention to detail in both presentation and flavor. Execution in the kitchen is confident, and the overall quality of the food aligns well with the venue's upscale positioning. The wine list is well-curated and sufficient in scope, offering a range of options to complement the menu. However, pricing is notably elevated, with markups that may give even seasoned diners pause. A corkage fee of $50 per bottle is in line with the venue's premium positioning, though it further reinforces the importance of thoughtful wine selection for those mindful of value. Service throughout the evening was attentive and polished, contributing to a seamless flow from seating to service to performance. Staff demonstrated both professionalism and warmth, enhancing the overall guest experience. The live music remains the centerpiece--and rightly so. Performances are exceptional, supported by excellent acoustics that allow every note to resonate clearly throughout the space. It is this combination of sound quality, ambiance, and intimacy that continues to define the venue's reputation. In summary, Vibrato Grill Jazz delivers a compelling and well-rounded experience: elevated cuisine, engaging service, and outstanding live jazz in an elegant setting. While the wine pricing may lean toward the premium end, the overall experience justifies its standing as a destination for both dining and music enthusiasts alike. read more

Just to update my original review: management has made absolutely zero effort to respond or take accountability. I've called, emailed, and even left this review--and still nothing. At this point, it's not just poor service, it's a complete disregard for customers. For a restaurant charging premium prices, this level of neglect is unacceptable. Any establishment that claims to be upscale should at the very least follow up after a failed experience. Instead, they've chosen to ignore it entirely, which says everything about how they value their guests. The reality is simple: the quality of service here does not come close to justifying the price you pay. It's not just disappointing--it's embarrassing for a place trying to position itself as high-end. read more

Refined dining, intimate jazz, and exceptional service I surprised my boyfriend with dinner at Vibrato Jazz Grill for his birthday and a job celebration, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Parking was easier than expected (shopping plaza, valet available). The venue is intimate, which elevates both the service and the live music. We caught the Louis Cruz Beltrán Latin Ensemble, and they were excellent--polished, soulful, and perfectly matched to the room. Our server, Thyme (T-H-Y-M-E), was exceptional--warm, attentive, and spot-on with recommendations. Service was seamless all night. Food and drinks delivered. The 14-oz ribeye was cooked beautifully, and the Chilean sea bass with spinach risotto and lemongrass sauce was elegant and well balanced. We started with bruschetta and a wedge salad, both solid. The Old Fashioned, served with a "V" etched into the ice cube, was a classy detail. Yes, it's a splurge (our bill was just over $400), but the atmosphere, live jazz, quality cuisine, and top-tier service made it worth it. Closer: Vibrato Jazz Grill is a complete experience--thoughtfully executed and ideal for a special night out. read more

This was my first time to Vibrato and it was wonderful. We had reservations at 6:15 for dinner so we could have time to order our meal since the show started at 7:00. We shared the Parker rolls which were very soft and buttery. I had the halibut with the miso rice. It was delicious. It was perfect specially if you want a light meal. I had also a side of spinach. The jazz band was amazing. I had a great time. It totally worthwhile the drive. Vibrato is located in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking. read more

Vibrato Grill Jazz - Jazz & Blues Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First time going to this venue. Very nice! Was not expecting it to be located in a small shopping center but once we opened the door, it was a whole vibe. Very quaint. Bar right when you walk in. Lots of seating. Live music everyday of the week. No bad seat in the place. You can pay for a table but it does not include your meal, or you can sit at the bar. Food was very good and tasty, drinks were very refreshing. Service was amazing. Very friendly and attentive. Noise level as you can imagine is high due to the performances. Parking lot, valet, as well as street parking. Definitely will be coming back to this place. $$$$ read more

Eden Alpert was dancing in the aisles with patrons last night as George Kahn's Rhythm & Blues Review got the whole place rocking ("jazzing"???)! As I told Eden afterwards: she runs the most amazing Nightclub! Delicious food! Well made drinks! Attentive servers! And fabulous musical acts for your listening pleasure (and sometimes even dancing in the aisles!)! I have been to Vibrato many times over many years and each and every time I leave I say the same thing: I need to go back more often! What a fun place to eat, drink, and be very much entertained by top musical acts! What are you waiting for? Buy your tickets to dinner and a show right now!!! read more

Vibrato Grill Jazz - Dinner show celebrating April's birthday! - Jazz & Blues Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My friends and I were invited to Vibrato Grill for a Christmas eve outing and it was such a spectacular experience!! This location offers valet parking but is in a plaza with ample parking so parking was breeze. We got tickets in advance to sit at the bar because we were a group of 6. While walking it into the venue I felt like I was transported to a different era and was really happy we al got dolled up! Our bartender's name was AC and all the cocktails she made were absolutely exquisite! I ordered the "a beautiful friend" lychee martini and the "fandango" lemon basil martini. I loved them. My friends in the group raved about the old fashions they ordered. I was so enamored with this sophisticated and upscale atmosphere, even their restrooms were elegant! AC, our bartender was attentive and super sweet. The menu looked amazing, I am a vegetarian so I was very thrilled to see they had more than one option for me. I ordered the agnolotti with cafe de paris sauce. I don't like mushrooms and asked for no mushrooms with the dish. The description of this dish had marbled plant-based steak and I was very intrigued. My only criticism about this dish was that the plant based steak was red extremely salty and I did not enjoy my dish. I did not send it back because I was enjoying the experience, service, and drinks but I would definitely opt to try a different vegetarian dish next time! read more

Came for my mothers birthday, ambience was good. However, the food was just "ok". Drinks were good & the servers were pretty good as well. I'm not sure if I would visit a second time as the food was not that great and price is a bit higher. read more

I went for my first time Sunday night. I can't believe what an incredible places is. I love the ambience. I also find the location. Interesting. At the top of Mulholland above Los Angeles. Nestled in a very quiet neighborhood. The food, the atmosphere, and of course, the music. WOW! I can't wait to go back. Let me say that the appetizer of four baby lamb chops was incredible! My friend had the lamb touch and loved it. My other friend had a steak, and what else can I say except it was amazing. I was full from the lamb chops and the Hamachi appetizer. The chef brought to our table. I ordered spaghetti, squash appetizer, and it was more than enough food! And then we shared for desserts. What a great evening! I can't wait to go back. read more

Had a terrific anniversary dinner and show at Vibrato, where everything was handled with grace and friendliness, from the Host to our server and all the support staff. Kudos to everyone for knowing how to create a fine dining experience at one of L.A.'s last true supper clubs. The dark room with muted lighting and soft music playing upon entry automatically transports you away from the thrum of Los Angeles and back to a more elegant time. My wife enjoyed a lovely espresso martini while I treated myself to a top shelf bourbon. For starters, my wife had the Cali Caprese Salad, with a creamy burrata enveloping fresh tomatoes and topped with a duo of sauces, pesto and balsamic. My own starter was from the daily specials menu: Wagyu Tartare Crostini. The beef tartare was cool and fresh and packed with flavor, delicately creamy without leaning into the area of too much of an aioli feel. Really very, very good. For my entree, I stayed with the specials menu and ordered the Crab Stuffed Lobster Tail, which truly was stuffed (piled high, really) with tasty lump crab meat. The lobster meat itself was very sweet and perfectly cooked underneath the generous serving of crab. The Bernaise sauce accompaniment added an enjoyable pop to the crab meat, though I would have also liked a bit of drawn butter to use when I got to the lobster -- but that's a very, very minor thing. My wife ordered also from the specials menu, an A5 Wagyu Strip Steak that was melt-in-your-mouth perfection... she said it was the best steak she'd ever eaten. I stole 2 tastes of the steak: one by itself (excellent) and one with a dollop of my crab (an indulgent, unforgettable bite). And yes, we did receive a lovely anniversary dessert: a most enjoyable chocolate eclair that was a light topper after such a rich meal. Add in a fantastic show from UK swing Band, The Jive Aces, and we had a very memorable celebration. Thanks to all the folks at Vibrato for keeping this style of evening alive and well in Los Angeles... Bravo! read more

One of the only places in LA where you can get an amazing jazz show, old Hollywood vibes, and the food and drinks are amazing! Absolutely love jazz so for me to be able to elevate my dining experience with a live band - I'm sold! The service has always been great. I've actually been here a few times they have different artists playing. Really great for Mother's Day I brought my mom she loved it, and it's also perfect for a date night. read more

Had such a great night at the vibrato grill during Christmas time. Loved the ambience. It was really lounging and dark and moody, and it felt very intimate. For food, we ordered the lamb chops, which was delicious, the burger sliders., and the beef skewers, with the side of fries. Between the three of us, we all split these dishes and it was pretty filling. There was a minimum of a $50 limit to spend on food and drinks. So keep that in mind. A waiter was fantastic and we really enjoyed his presence. read more

We visited this place for our friend 50th birthday last night. We thought we were going to be listening to jazz but last night was more yacht rock than jazz. We still had a good night. We had a good dinner I had the Cesar salad with grilled chicken and we ordered the steak both pretty tasty. Drinks were good and strong. Espresso martinis were good too. read more

You don't have to be a jazz guru to know the name Herb Alpert. Alpert is a Grammy award-winning musician, producer, songwriter, conductor, fine artist, the A in A & M Records and the list goes on and one. He is a living legend, icon and probably a god. He is also the owner (alongside his adult daughter) of Vibrato: a jazz supper club in the Beverly Crest neighborhood of Los Angeles. We are THAT lucky in Los Angeles to have a spot owned and managed by the Alperts (in fact, my waiter told me Herb himself STILL visits to check in on things periodically!). So what is the magic of Vibrato? Allow me to introduce you... Vibrato is located on Beverly Glen near the top of Coldwater Canyon/Mulholland in a small plaza-shopping center that is reminiscent of Brentwood Gardens. Parking is available but can fill up fast (especially with the other businesses sharing the lot) so you may have to opt for valet. From the outside, Vibrato looks like a 'regular' restaurant but the second you step through those doors; you are transported to the Golden Age of Hollywood hanging out with the Rat Pack or with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in "La La Land" if you're of a younger generation. The venue is medium-sized with floor dining, a stage, bar and upper mezzanine seating. Vibrato oozes romance and smooth jazz even before you hear a music note played; and a dark ambiance with colorful lights twinkling among the beautifully dressed crowd. It is sex, it is Hollywood, it is AMAZING! I was OBSESSED the second I sat down. Vibrato has a unique set-up: you must pay a cover to make a reservation (about $34/person) for the performance and, in addition, each person must order a $45/menu minimum and the food and drinks are PRICEY! Vibrato is not budget-friendly (but so worth it). You can opt to eat at the bar which means there is no $45/ menu minimum. Weekdays have one set performance/dinner while F/Sat/Sun have two. We were greeted by Matthew who was super patient with our lag on picking menu items (sorry! I was distracted by the amazing-ness!) Vibrato has a very extensive and curated alcohol menu but we started with a "Lollipops & Roses" cocktail (strawberry gin, prickly pear puree, lemon juice, prosecco, rose crystals - $22) and a 1980 Old Fashioned (bourbon, maple syrup, angostura bitters, lucardo cherry  w/extra cherries - $22). The drinks were beautifully presented and meshed the glitter of Hollywood with the smooth class of jazz. Both drinks were divine and NOT light on the alcohol yet still in perfect ratio of all the flavors. Sooo smooth! For starters, we chose Seasonal oysters ($30) and Filet Mignon Skewers (onions, peppers, sriracha aioli, soy glaze, chili and chive oil - $28). Let's talk about these oysters because honey: they were perfection, heaven, buttery with those accoutrements... sinful! The Filet Mignon Skewers is no less fantastic with quality steak perfectly cooked and sauces that took it over the top. I could have only eaten these and been done but there was more! For dinner, I went with the New Bedford Scallops (sunchoke puree, pickled onions, pickled mustard seeds, pea coulis, citrus supremes - $58) while my dining partner chose the Alaskan Halibut (jasmine rice, Thai coconut miso, mango, pineapple, chive, cilantro - $59) and Jumbo Asparagus side to share ($20). I cannot sufficiently describe the elegance of the artful plate presentation but it just adds to untouchable level that Vibrato is vibrating on (see what I did there). My scallops were large and in charge, melt-in-your mouth, the sunchokes were tender, the flavors magnificent. The Halibut was also too good for words with unique flavors and the artichokes perfectly al dente. For desert I sobered up with an Affogato (vanilla and coffee ice cream, candied cocoa nibs, espresso - $18): an elevated affogato that is on-brand with Vibrato and ends the night with a kiss. The house performing band was wonderful mixing classic and modern hits in a jazz and swing style alongside some original tunes. Their talent was the perfect accompaniment to the orgasmic food. The staff is also top-grade at Vibrato from the Lisa Loeb-looking hostess (hey, my new bestie!) to the busboys who refill water continuously to Matthew who humored me with lovely conversation. Well done! Sidenote: ladies, even the bathroom is beautiful and spacious! I truly cannot convey the magnificence of Vibrato and do it justice. It oozes sensuality and doesn't miss a beat with food, drink or staff.  But you can't expect anything less from Herb Alpert. Is Vibrato expensive? Yes - but SO worth it even just once! Vibrato is literally now one of my top 3 favorite LA spots and I will shout it from the rooftops. If you want a romantic evening filled with jazz, culinary masterpiece food and drink, wonderful customer service and memories you will never forget; you MUST try Vibrato. read more

Greg Adams and East Bay Soul was EXCELLENT. 10/10 Superb! The venue itself has great acoustics and the sound is amazing. We sat at a 4 top in back by the fireplace and it was the perfect sound level - not too loud. The food quality is good, however, the portions vary and the prices are premium; but not unexpected given the small size of the space. Aside from the $50 cover this night, food will run you $100+ per person or more. Our service was lacking. The waiter was just weird... never formally introduced himself, and we thought at first perhaps he's was a sommelier. After he got our drinks he disappeared for a 1/2 hour and we had to ask the water person to track him down to order. He took our order without writing it down and as result we never gout our sides. Again we got the water person to ask what happened - but by the time the waiter circled back we were no longer interested in them. Once again we had to hunt him down for the check... I don't know if they are understaffed or we just weren't his priority... The lamb tagine portion was massive - tasty - but not your traditional entree - on a bed of couscous with almost no sauce. The scallops were good - 3 large one for about $66 seems stingy. Sea bass was also well executed.. Parking is easy, lots of space in the lot and an overflow lot just down the street in back. I'd defiantly go back for the entertainment, but temper my food expectations. read more

My husband and I came here for date night on a Friday evening. He's been wanting to go to a Jazz club and he came across this one. We had such a wonderful time. The energy was great in there. The band and vocals were amazing and so much fun to listen to. Such great throwbacks from the 70s,80s etc! My husband and I sat as close as we could to get a good view and be up front. The food was pretty good as well, I had this lychee cocktail, halibut, crab cake, hamachi crudo, gnocchi etc... Unfortunately, a fly did land in our food but the server was kind and took it back and gave us free dessert. The table next to us, also got a fly in their drink. Just be mindful of that since sometimes they get in when the doors are open. It's quite dim in there too! Overall, we had a great experience and would love to come back here again with family. read more

Wonderful jazz, crowd, and service. We arrived early so parking was easy but I can imagine it's tricky.

Another awful experience -- do not go to Vibrato Jazz Grill. What was supposed to be a carefully planned anniversary and dual birthday celebration turned into a nightmare when the restaurant manager publicly berated our family. After we were seated, he stormed over, loudly accused us of causing a disturbance, and demanded that our beloved elder family member, who requires special care, leave the premises. He spoke to my diabetic, emotionally fragile mother with no compassion and made us feel humiliated in front of other diners. We had flown family in from Florida and paid extra for a special evening, only to be forced out and told we would receive a refund that never arrived. The manager's behavior was rude, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. This business publicly embarrassed guests and then failed to make things right. I will never return and strongly urge others to avoid this place until management learns basic respect for customers. read more

Los Angeles has an abundance of music venues. It's hard to miss one event that leads you to fantastic music, whatever you're into. When it comes to Jazz, Vibrato is one of my favorite spots. Not only is it classy, you get great food and super service, but the patrons are friendly and everyone always has a great time. I recommend you make reservations in advance as it will sell out, since they always have top notch entertainment and bands booked here have a great following. I also recommend you try everything in the menu. Everything we had was delicious. Also, bring your dancing shoes. You are sure to get your steps in. read more

Loved everything about this place! The live jazz created such a relaxing vibe, and the service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. We started with a couple of small appetizers....portion wise they were modest, but absolutely delicious. The stars of the night were the crabcakes and crab stuffed lobster.
