    The first time we visited, the overall atmosphere of the bar was good. However, we felt discriminated against. The receptionist at the front desk informed us that every person at our table had to spend at least $95. Once we went inside, we noticed that other customers didn't have to follow this rule. We even asked the guests at the table next to us, and they mentioned that they only ordered one or two cocktails each. Later, we spent $150, but when we were about to pay, the server politely told us that we didn’t meet the minimum spending requirement. I asked why the guests at the table next to us didn’t have this rule enforced. The server then said that it was specifically requested by the receptionist at the front desk for our table. I feel that the bar is great in many aspects, but are we being discriminated against because we are Asian Americans? We were born and raised here as well, and this kind of service is truly disappointing. I hope the establishment addresses this issue of racial discrimination!

    This was one of the best experiences i have ever had at a lounge. The performer was so insanely talented and the show he put on was incredible. The only complaint I have is the food. The food was disgusting. I mean everything was terrible. Come for the show and the drinks but DO NOT waste money on the food. We ordered the oysters, tuna tartar, fries, chicken nuggets, and the crepe cake. I think we left 90% of everything. The service was really wonderful too. I would 100% comeback but next time not order any food.

    I booked via the app whcih dind't specify the cost per person was 75 $ no matter what - the food is poor vs what you paid for and the overall atmosphere is not really what i was expected from a Jazz (so called) place to be.

    The performance was a lot of fun. Drinks were great. Service was good. It should really be more clear when making a reservation that music doesn’t start until 9:30. My two hour service window was half over before the music even started. We were basically asked to get up after our 2 hours even though there were many tables still open and even offered another table later (while standing at the back) because of a no show. The experience would have been much better if we had simply been left to our table and we would have continued to order drinks.

    Tim Young performed and was amazing! The food was also very good. Unfortunately, the service was terrible. It should be a crime to enforce a table minimum spend but not come to the table. It took about 20 minutes after sitting for someone to take our order and then was another 30 minutes after that until we received our drinks. Thereafter, we had to make multiple attempts to flag down a waitress, with them often avoiding eye contact with us.

    Amazing time. Tim is one of the best performers ever. We meant to leave around 11:30 and staying well past one. Just an FYI that there is a mandatory spending limit of $95 per person that they do not warn you about when you make the reservation. It wasn’t a problem for us, thankfully but for those that may not be looking to spend that much, be advised.
