    The food, drinks, & music was great. The drinks were a little pricey but worth it if you're looking to have a good time.

    We were looking for a place with great food, atmosphere and live music. Well we found what we were looking from in JoJo’s Restaurant and bar. It’s a great cozy place for the young at heart; where grown-ups can hang and really enjoy the mood. The jazz band was friendly and good, JoJo’s even surprised us with dessert (nice touch). We will be back, with friends.

    Food was OK, but not much to write home about. While the baby back ribs were good, I found my angus flat iron steak to be tough with an odd flavor. Just didn't much care for it.

    It's a decent bun bun spot, I wouldn't reccommend coming on the solo. RSVP are not always honored at the time of the RSVP, due to lack of space.

    we had great food, ribs and drunken chicken. Our seat was upstairs, at the window and the noise level was perfect. Downstairs had a live band. We really enjoyed our dinner and night out.

    Overall my food was fantastic! Everything that I had was delish! Great drinks as well. However we have reservations and did not get seated for a hour and a half. This was very upsetting as the host/manager forgot about us twice.

    Ribs only come around once a month - get them and ask for some extra sauce.
