   Django relies on the history of its building and upscale hotel to give you a great jazz experience but the food and service were lacking. First, my reservation began at 7:15pm but the jazz show didn't start until around 7:40pm. They also charged a cover of $25 per person and then include it in the food bill to trick patrons into paying a tip on the full amount, especially since there is no reminder that the cover charge is included in the final bill anywhere (outside of the itemization). The cocktails were good but we were promptly kicked out at after 2 hours even though the show didn't start until later that evening.

   Amazing place! The waitress from Morocco (I forgot her name) Varesca I guess, she is incredible, she is so sweet and amazing service by her. I love the music, the place…

   I love the Django for the atmosphere and great jazz. The management however could do with some improvements. I had booked in advance and even added a note to my booking that I was coming to celebrate my partner’s birthday and to give us a nice table closer to the jazz band or in full view of the band and also to bring the dessert I order in the end with a birthday candle. Unfortunately not one of these requests was honored without me having to ask and almost beg for them in person. When I got there, they tried to seat us at a table all the way in the back room with hardly any view of the jazz band even though there were still some empty tables with better views. But because they want to reserve the best seats with full view for larger groups, they don’t want to move them apart to accommodate couples. I had to make a stink and ask the waitress to check our reservation notes and speak with the manager to try to accommodate the fact that this was to celebrate a birthday. Finally after speaking with her manager, the table materialized. For the dessert, I had to ask for a candle which spoiled the whole surprise and bday moment. This shouldn’t have happened. Management needs to get with it and train staff on this kind of stuff. Most people who drop over $200 in two hours are there to celebrate. Regardless they could take a moment to read the rez notes. You’d think they’d be more cognizant. Anyway, despite that, the design of the space and the jazz was worth it in the end. But I’d think twice before coming here to celebrate a special occasion unless I was coming with a group.

   Music was outstanding! Fantastic bands performed and we had a fabulous time. Service was not that good, drinks took a while to be served and the waiter wasn’t very friendly. Food was ok.

   Went here for NYE and it was a horrible experience. From the food…the incompetent service…the unorganized jazz band that played that night. Ruined my NYE 2022! Thumbs down

   I love the Django and I probably go every other month. I love everything there usually. I was there for the NYE celebration last night and I have to say the food was not the best last night. Sauce for crab cake was soooo over powering and salty I had to scrape it off. The turbot fish dish had scale on the skin every bite I took I had to spit out the scale. It was gross. Steak dish my bf got was very good tho. So I’d say considering they are usually very good, some inconsistencies were happening in the kitchen last night. All in all, The Django is great.

    The Music was much too loud and distorted. We tried to point it out but were not taken seriously by the staff and manager. We did not feel it was our night but the lead singer’s. He repeatedly hushed at the audience. We payed a lot of money to please his ego, and we only got arrogance and disrespect from the staff.
