Interesting jazz venue with excellent bands in a tiny bar which can sit about 30. Be aware that they are quite fuerce about you leaving after the first set. Also not allowed happy hour drinks at the table...

Vegetarian options: Great veggie burger

Food was fantastic, live jazz was great. Service was not amazing, our waitress/bartender clearly did not want us there and rushed us out despite other people still sitting around not being rushed in the same way. Was really nice romantic spot but there was an unwelcoming vibe. We got there around 9, they closed at 11. The kitchen closed at 9:30 but there’s no note of that anywhere online or in the restauran. We left by 10:10 to get out of their hair.

I found this lovely and intimate restaurant conducting a google search as I wanted to experience good food, live music but kid friendly as I have a 6 year old son. This restaurant spoke to all of my needs and exceeded my expectation. Not only did we enjoy the vibes, we loved the staff. The Garlic mashed potatoes and spinach were delish and the wine I had was AMAZING. I’m a red wine lover and this one pleasantly surprised me as it was a blend of Malbec, Merlot and Pinot noir...
