    A group of 8 of us came in town for the October London concert and was told about this brunch. Upon reserving we learned that we could only reserve 4. So 2 of us had to make reservations for 4 each. We arrived and was greeted by the owner who sprayed each of us with hand sanitizer. Very pleasant. We were told where to sit which was 2 tables beside each other. I asked if they could put the 2 tables together but the owner refused bc “If I do it for you guys I’ll have to do it for everyone.” The band began playing around 1:30. The service was just okay in terms of staying on top of what was needed from our tables. We wanted to order some wings for after the concert but was told that the kitchen closes at 2:00. But we were never told that the kitchen was closing; never was offered anything before it closed. So after pleading with the waitress who had me plead to the chef, Augusta, she obliged us and made our wi ga to go. Overall, the music was nice, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was quaint. We came away happy and with our wings to go! You should visit. We will be back!

    It was one of the best Easter Brunches I’ve ever had. The people make it special and it’s so beautiful. And I like that it’s kinda hidden. Jazz is hard to find here. Soooo enjoyable. Very classy and cannot wait to go back for dinner! ❤️❤️❤️

    I have always had a great experience at Chayz Lounge. The ambiance, along with the amazing food and live entertainment makes this place a special gem. I also appreciate the fact that they have vegan options on their menu. The servers are polite and very attentive. The owner is very welcoming to each guest. You can tell she takes great pride in ensuring that all guests receive a positive experience. The atmosphere honestly provides a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday. Sunday brunch is the best! A great way to connect with loved ones and experience a good vibe before heading into another week.

    The decor, music and food was great. We attended the Sunday Brunch. The brunch menu was limited but excellent. I hope in the future for brunch they add a quiche selection or eggs Benedict and offer craft beer and non-alcoholic beer to their beverage selection. Other than that it's definitely a great date night or evening out.
