This is a smaller resturant but doesn’t feel over crowded. We bought the dinner/jazz entertainment show package and it’s worth every penny. The taste of the dood was one of the best I’ve ever had. Very small portions, it’s more for looks than anything.
The jazz performers was nothing less than amazing. They’re true performers and really knows how to interacted with the crowd.
Maybe a tad bit overpriced if you buy the food and show package and felt a little bit rushed to leave the table after the show - to create space for the next show. Still, the food was good, service excellent and always enjoy the music. Ambiance is cool!
10/10! Amazing food (to die for!!!!!!!) amazing atmosphere/aesthetic, amazing drinks, amazing music. This cafe is everything! I will definitely be returning!! The bartender Chris is a gem!! He was very attentive, funny, and kind. I wish the head chef/manager was available tonight to give my respects and compliments. Get used to this familiar face lol, me and my husband will definitely be new regulars😊
Quick visit today, met with owner Mark. Amazing venue. Highly recommend checking out this gem

I used to live the spot. This time it’s a bit different. You need to pay to get in. The god thing is that it could be as low as 5$. The drinks were not so great either for the price.

Always a great time at Chris.
Food is excellent. I am always please with the menu selections. Drinks were well made, one of the best Dirty Martini's I've had in a long time. …
Really enjoyed my evening there tonight. Limited menu, but the options seemed like they would be pretty tasty. Cajun themed cuisine for the most part, which was a bit unexpected. Figured it would be basic bar food, but was pleasantly …
Music, excellent! Service, fair. Food, poor. Don't go for the food. This is an amazing jazz concert venue trapped inside a mediocre restaurant. Not only was my $30+ entre inedible, but no one ever came by the table to ask how it was. …
I came on NYE to the 11:00 jazz show, and it was so fun! I am so the stay home, wear sweats, and be in bed before midnight girl, but a friend asked me to go, and I said yes. It was SO fun, and your staff was so chill and nice. They seemed …
