About Jojo Restaurant and Bar

Jojo Restaurant and Bar is a cozy, intimate spot with a great atmosphere and live music. This venue features excellent jazz bands in a tiny bar that can seat about 30 people. The food is good, with popular dishes like crab stuffed Salmon, wings, caprese, and herb pan seared salmon. Vegetarian options include a great veggie burger and vegan pasta dishes. The restaurant has a small, exposed brick setting with limited seating, which can make it loud and crowded. However, the music and vibes are enjoyable. Guests should be aware that they are quite strict about leaving after the first set and that happy hour drinks are not allowed at the table.

Be prepared for a wait, especially on weekends, and consider making a reservation in advance. The kitchen closes at 9:30 PM, but this is not clearly noted. While the staff can be understaffed at times, which may affect service, many guests have noted the staff’s friendliness. Jojo Restaurant and Bar is a nice spot for a romantic date night or a night out with friends, though it is not kid-friendly or wheelchair-accessible, and parking can be expensive.
