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!

I was so impressed with my first visit to Chris'! We went for the full dinner and show package and it made for quite a classy night out! Our service, overall, was seemless and our server Rae (?) was so relaxed and professional. The food …

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. But the jazz music is always amazing here. I prefer the music here than over time. If you are in jazz then def worth checking

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. …
