    We always love our experience at Jazz Bistro. The music was phenomenal and the food is consistently delicious and beautifully presented. The service is highly professional and personable, with so much care and attention to detail. The vibes are ambient and warm. I would highly recommend making a reservation here! Always a great night!

    We really enjoyed this restaurant. It had great vibes, excellent service, and tasty food and drinks. Unfortunately, Open Table sent the wrong info about the live music and there was none at the time they outlined. That was disappointing. But there was a pianist for a bit and it was nice,

    I gave them 3 stars solely for the music band—they’re amazing! Do not accept tables on the second level if you want to enjoy the music. The sound echoes, and you miss out on the true vibe of jazz. That said, and you still have to pay the cover charge for the live music! The food was tasteless and served in the most basic form. The servers were also difficult to get hold of.

    We went there for a night out with our niece, who loves Jazz. While there, staff was great. I think it's expensive for what it is (food wise), but the music makes it worth it. Our biggest challenging was booking the reservation through Open Table. It looks like there are tables free every 15 -30 minutes for arrival time, but realistically you have to pay a cover and the bands switch over between 7 - 8 pm. So you either need to get in at 515pm to catch the first band or come after 8pm. None of this was well explained when I called and we ended up getting messages through Opentable that we should either change our reservation to something earlier or pay the cover twice. No one got back to us on table availability, etc. Sigh. So we opted to go early, but as a result the restaurant lost our dinner service. We left to have dinner somewhere else. You may want to be more clear on the website on the booking times and how they work, where seats are located, visibility, etc. You may also want to ensure your front desk person can help more when called - I was basically told to check the website, which also doesn't explain this well and told to check the events page (of which there was nothing there for the day we were going). We loved the spot, the music and the service staff while we were there. But the process was a bit frustrating and we didn't eat dinner there in the end because of the inflexibility and lack of information.

    My girls both had steak and said it was great. I had the seafood dish and it was good. The music was lovely. I just wish they had played longer. The café affogato was meh. It didn’t have the artistry of the authentic dessert or the flavour. The staff was wonderful. Overall a great experience and we plan to go again.

    Amazing night! Servings were a little smaller than I thought they would be but the food was delicious nonetheless. The music was incredible, 10/10 would definitely come again.

    If you are going just to listen to Jazz this is a great spot! If you want to have a conversation, not so much. Service and food were good.

    We had a lovely time! Staff were very attentive and professional. Food was very good too! If you are looking for a Michelin Restaurant this is not one - BUT it is not supposed to be😊— it’s a FUN Jazz bar with a Great Team of staff plus a kind & inclusion atmosphere. And let’s not forget the #1 thing - GREAT Jazz! Can’t wait to book again! See you soon Jazz Bistro 🎷🎼🎶🎵
