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 :)

However, I did need to relocate to a seat further from the stage to get good acoustics. One issue with these concerts; the main headliner is always announced, but you have no idea who will accompany the headliner talent; it seems like the headliner assembles the rest of the band at the very last minute, based on who in the area happens to be available. I lucked out with great bass and drum players.

The Bikila cocktail was definitely a bold choice and was a bit too strong and spicy for my taste. The peppers were clear in this cocktail and made for more of a savory taste.

I'm so glad we decided to stick around because it meant we scored the best seats in the house for the live jazz performance!

The drinks were fantastic, especially if you're a bourbon or whiskey fan. The atmosphere is dark, moody, and romantic - perfect for a date night. We stumbled upon this spot by chance, and it ended up being one of my favorite surprises of this trip.

The stage is small but enough for a small combo band with full size piano and good sound system. This was a bit of a learning experience for us as we discovered that there was a minimum food order of $30 per person in addition to the $50 we prepaid per person for the cover charge. We ordered a Double Smashburger with fries, additional side of parmeson fries, dinner salad, glass of wine, and mineral water. The hamburger, fries, and parmeson fries were delicious. The salad and dressing was good. The waiter was kind enough to let us know that there was a $90 minimum for our table of 3 that had not yet met. We decided to order 2 desserts. The Chocolate Ganache dessert was fantastic. The second dessert we ordered was a Guava Flan. There only a handful of dishes that I have ever eaten that have made it to my list of #1 worst dishes I have ever had. I was the last to try the Guava Flan and my party was eagerly waiting to see my reaction since they had already tasted it. The Guava Flan was unfortunately horrendous and not edible. I am not sure if it had gone bad or if the one who made it had issues with their taste buds or what...but it was absolutely the #1 worst tasting dessert I have ever had the displeasure of having. Aside from that, we had a great time. We will keep in mind the additional table minimums should we return to this establishment.

TLDR: Great venue, poor value and even worse service…read more The venue itself is very cool and the performances were lovely. And that's all the positives. The RUDE staff and the HIGH HIDDEN CHARGES ruined the experience for me. We had to pay for the ticket AND a minimum spend AND a fixed 22% service charge AND tax. The bill came out to be $100+ per person for a one hour jazz with light bites. The food was unfortunately not good as well, it was overpriced and the quality seemed store bought. The attitude of the staff was a big disappointment. We had some leftover food from lunch which we understood might not be allowed inside. Instead of simply telling us in one sentence "you can't bring your food in", the rude staff / manager gave us the dirtiest look, rolled his eyes, and kept on making dismissive gestures at us as we were seated. The unacceptable service doesn't deserve the 22% service charge. Because of all this, I unfortunately won't be going back.
