This classic supper club boasts live performances every night, from Tuesday through Saturday. Bistro-style cuisine, prepared in the traditional French technique, with ingredients from all over the world, prepared with passion by our Executive Chef, Roshan Vermezyari.

Our beautiful main stage is home to "Red Pops" - a gorgeous red Steinway baby grand piano - meticulously maintained. There is a cover charge for performances on all of our stages, except our Piano Bar performances on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5 to 7, which are free of charge.

Our 3rd-floor Event Space is available for your next corporate or private event. Equipped with another stage and a full bar, the "Jazz Cellar" has an outdoor area that is licensed for 45 guests (closed in the winter), and an indoor area that holds 55 comfortably, year-round. It's the perfect downtown location for your next event!

Great atmosphere for a date night! The jazz band really set the mood. This is the perfect place for a romantic dinner before a stage play. They could use extra staff seating people as there was a lineup even if you had reservations.

I booked through open table to have a table on the main floor. I got there 10 minutes before my reservation time, and the hostess told me there are no tables available on the main floor. I said I booked it through open table and specifically asked for the main floor because I wanted to see the performance as I am fan of the singer, but she apologized and gave me the second floor, which you can only see the performance through the screen. The hostess said next time she recommends calling for booking reservations - then what’s the point of OpenTable online reservations? I said I would like to speak to the manager, and although she said they will come speak to me sometime throughout the night, they never did.

The food and ambience was wonderful. Musical guest was incredible. Attitude of the place off. Artist expected us to not speak while eating our dinner. Wanted undivided attention. This is a restaurant at Christmas. While we appreciated and respected the music, we were extremely offended when a staff member told us not to speak during the performance. We left not to return for second half of the show.

we got there before 6 pm for theatre across the street for 7:30. the salad came quickly and was delicious. the rack of lamb and flatiron stage can after we flagged waiter. the rack of lamb was delicious and warm but the veggies were cold. all the food on my plate was cold-steak veggies and fries. we had to woof down dinner and run across the street to the theatre. was very disappointed with it taking so very long to get the food and eat very quickly. from the time we arrived we told the staff we were going to the theatre. Really put a damper the evening with a tummy ache at the play
