My Wife and I really enjoyed the evening of Jazz. The night out with the Jimmy Greene quartet was a evening that created very fond memories for us. Ken was a wonderful host.

We went to the 10:45pm New Years Eve show last night. The music was great, the service not so much. We got there at 10:25pm and did not get our drinks until 11:30pm. There were a lot of people there, but only one waiter and one bar tender. They needed at least two of each. The waiter was coming around to each table, he accidentally skipped ours and then he never came back. We waited about ten mins to see if he would come back, my husband then went up to the bar to try and find him and to see if we could get drinks. He was nowhere to be found. The bartender would not serve him since he wasn’t seated. Finally the waiter came back from the back room and my husband had him come over and take our drink order. The show is only an hour and a half long and we waited an hour to get our drinks! The server was very nice, it was just too much for one person. For the price we paid for the ticket we expected top of the line service. We love the Old Lyme Inn and in the past have loved the Side Door, but we will never go back. Way over priced for what it is. There are other places to watch Jazz music.
Fantastic music, service and ambiance. Wish I could get back there more often. Great time!

My wife and I visited for the first time to see Orrin Evans. Needless to say, we will definitely be visiting again! Absolutely a great show, unfortunately we had to leave at intermission.
