    Overall it was a good experience and I would go back. Because they seat everyone at once, the service was real slow in the beginning (took way too long to get our first drinks) and only improved slightly as the night went on. The food was okay but there was nothing that wow'd me. I did eat everything they put in front of me. The music was outstanding!

    This is a unique venue with an outstanding band that alone makes the evening worthwhile. We were there during the University's spring break and our waitress, while very pleasant and attentive, was probably overworked and thus a bit slow.

    I’ve been wanting to check out Blue Llama Jazz Club since it opened. Finally had the opportunity to go the other night and wasn’t let down. The entire staff was on point and friendly. Food and drink were equally amazing. I highly recommend this business. I’ll be returning soon!

    I think BL is very nice. I loved the artists I have seen specifically DNabors and NWinn. The chicken was yummy. But I kinda wish we could have been seated a bit earlier. But other than that I will return.

    Overall good experience. Nice atmosphere. Menu confusing for prefix/choices party of two. Not clear if two entrees were included plus shared tapas and dessert. Music was great. Preferred less talk and more music. Atmosphere was lovely. We’d come back, but like to select our own entrees.

    The Blue Llama has wonderful inventive food. They graciously accommodate food allergies. Sometimes they use too much salt for my taste. The service is personal but not overbearing. It is a beautiful music venue with a great sound system and outstanding offerings of a variety of jazz-related genres.

    The blue llama is a gorgeous Lee decorated smaller, jazz club. It’s a special place one that I’ve been to before and love. because it was restaurant week. The menu was basically a tasting menu featuring three courses, a salad. I make entre with vegetables and a dessert. My first concern was our reservation was for six in the doors to the club were closed at 10 to 6 and my 86 year old Dad had to wait out in the cold. Once in we were quickly seated and given water however, our first drink was not served for 20 minutes, and no music was playing so it was somewhat uncomfortable. Once the initial wine pairing and my cocktail were served, the meal moved along more smoothly, the wine pairings were weird a champagne served with the salad, a red served with the chicken and the dessert wine was sort of odd tasting… however, the jazz was excellent. The food was very good especially the crème brûlée and my dad ended up having a great time I have been before and I will be back.
