Tonight was our first time at Mr. Tipples, but it certainly won’t be our last. Nick Rossi and his jazz ensemble, THE JAZZOPATERS: AND ELLINGTONIA UNIT are all first class jazz musicians, and their take on Duke Ellington’s music was spot on. The venue has the classic small nightclub ambiance, and delicious dim sum options and great cocktails are served by great wait staff.
