I had the oysters on half shell and oyster Rockefeller, both were delicious. The barman Kevin was very personable and did a great job with such a busy crowd. I plan to come back soon.

Nice venue. Definitely need to figure out the how to pay for your evening. Bar holds your card for the tab. Can't pay your food bill because bar has your card. So you have to close out your bar bill to pay your food bill. Stupid. Oh and don't order a sweet tea from the back. They don't serve it, you must go to the front bar, order it and bring it back. They will not serve it. You know the more I think about it the less stars I give. Now down to two. Food was good, not great. Entertainment was excellent and definitely with the money. Ok, back to 3 stars.

Environment was very nice, very fun. We at in the main bar area, didn't know anything about this place or the Big Room in back with a band (wish we had) until we were ready to leave. Food was actually FANTASTIC! We had Oysters Rockafeller and Chargrilled. Oysters were succulant, full of flavor, and very fresh. We also had Calamari strips, the cocktail sauce was just as amazing as the appetizer! Will definitely return to try other dishes!

We had a great experience dining here! We were staying in Springfield on our way to the University of Arkansas coming from our home in West Chicago. Food was great. We started with the skinny cheese fries topped with bacon, cheddar, green onions and an awesome ranch to dip in! My husband and daughters had burgers and they were very pleased. Salads were very good as well as the dressings (can tell it's made from scratch........along with everything we had). I had Shrimp and scallops sautéed over wild rice. Very good. Generous portions. Great craft beer selection. Our favorite was the the hot chocolate chip cookie skillet topped with vanilla ice cream 😋Chelsea was our waitress and she was amazing, a total sweetheart! She gave us a tour of “The Big Room” which is where they hold concerts as well as a huge outdoor area. Looks like it would be lots of fun in the summer and when they have a big band. We really enjoyed the Arthur Duncan jazz trio who were performing in the front bar/dining area while we were there. Place is nicely decorated and comfy and live music wasn't too loud where you would have to shout over the music to have a conversation. I will definitely visit again if I am back in the area! Maybe without our teenagers next time !

It may not be much to look at but it has a lot hidden within. Awesome little dive bar that ACTUALLY serves GREAT seafood. I had the calamari strips that were superbly tender and not chewy and an order of mussels that were cooked to perfection. They offer many beers and spirits and they also have a big room that live bands play in. Numerous televisions are available which had different types of sports playing. The staff was also super helpful with menu choices and making sure we were satisfied.

You folks rock! Love the C-Jazz! Thnx to Bobby for showing us around. Shout out to Kelsy for hospitality. Kudos to Chef Mary for scallops & shrimp prepared with her love & expertise, love ya Mary.

Wait staff is horrible. Waited 45 minutes for food. Then they come and tell us they didn't even enter our order. Turned out to me another 45 minutes till we got it. Pretty sure they over charged for the whole meal. Very dissatisfied with the whole experience. And the food tastes like it was from a frozen box. Was even cold in the center.The only way they tried to make it up is offering a free appetizer on our next visit. What next visit?? Wont eat there again.

Love this place! Outstanding service and great local food. Some of the best seafood dishes in Springfield, and definitely the best lobster mac and cheese I've had in a long long time.
