    Poor, inexperienced service. Food that looked and tasted like it had just been warmed up in a microwave.
    The only good thing was the wine - but they didn't make that.

    good atmosphere. food slightly overrated. Good service. Might not be good place to take children. Some Jazz bands are better than others.My overall experience was Ok now I need to go somewhere nice and quiet.

  • Everything on the Menu Looked Good
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/27/07
    My daughter and I ate there before a concert a few months ago and it was fabulous.
    We are taking some friends there tomorrow night.

    The service was excellent for just the 2 of us and we noticed a large table being served
    and they got the same excellent service.

    The food was beautifully presented and tasted soooooo good!!

    The prices were so reasonable as well.

    We thought that the music was great as we are both jazz fans!!

  • No where else to go
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/28/06
    This place is really a bit overpriced for what you get. The music was only so/so-and not what I would call Jazz. The atmosphere was very nice, but the food was cold and no better than your average chain cafe'. The problem is that there are not that many places downtown, so one can't be too selective I guess. If you have no where else to go, then it beats going nowhere.

  • Dissappointed/Overrated
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/29/06
    The atmosphere is very nice. I feel that $25.00 is entirely too much for a Sunday Brunch, especially when the variety and selection of food(s) isn't that great. We were very disappointed once we found out that the person that use to play during Sunday Brunch's is no longer there, and they haven't gotten an replacement as of 27Aug06. I ...

  • Thank God for Atmosphere!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/18/06
    Its a good thing that they have good music. The food average/below average. I had a steak that was swimming in some beefy broth. The appetizers there aren't that bad. If you can, stick to those and stay away from anything on the regular menu.

  • Disappointed.
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/17/05
    Attended with a small party for dinner on a Thursday night. The live band was EXCELLENT, but the food was average and not worth near what they charge for the entrees. Service was mediocre. Great if you want nightlife and great music. However, not a place to have a conversational dinner because you literally must scream at the other person to ...

    The food here is overrated and expensive for what it is. Houston has much better than this.
