   The only caveat I would say is that the food was very salty. My party and I did enjoy the food; We had a difficult time with all the salt cooked within the food. As a result, we didn't eat the majority of our food. We recommend the food to be less salty so we as a customer can choose and add more salt if we want. Specifically the main foods that had a great volume of salt included: 1) shrimp 2) chicken 3) greenbeans 4) Ribs Due to the outcome of the food, we have decided to cancel our plans to request their catering services for our event. In contrast, the macaroni and cheese was good. The music was great. Overall , I would recommend this spot.

   The band was great nevertheless the website and/or reservation confirmation did not for warn of a $5 cover for each person. Water could not be served until after the meal was ordered and paid for. The food portion size was sad and extremely disappointing - which makes me wonder why we had to wait so long for the meal to be prepared. In total I paid over $65 to hear a amateur band, as unshapely senior citizens served drinks in tight waist corsets with elderly breast fat bubbling over. In all the experience was overrated and under whelming. I hope the band finds a better vinue or the supper club gets serious about buisness, service, and food.

   I went to restaurant because they had my favorite local band perform. But they had people pay at the door. It was $20 per person for an event. That didn't include anything expect entry. And we got there at 9pm. In addition, the venue was old and needed an immediate update. The food was so so. Like who wants to buy food when you had to pay so much to get in. Drinks were pricey. Definitely a rip-off restaurant. Will not go again. I felt like hiring chef Ramsay for them to help them have a complete make over.

   They're disorganized and service is chaotic. My food never came, and the only reason I found out my item was sold out was because I tracked my waitress down after waiting 45 minutes just to get water (not exaggerating). Sound system needs to be upgraded. Advertising for shows is misleading. I won't be going back, and it's such a waste because it has such potential.

   Website a little peeped out however as its a bar. However we were treated very nice by the servers and the good was really good. I had a succulent steak and lobster tail. My beau and I would have stayed longer if the seating was a little more comfortable and it was kinda cold in there. The band was really good I would def go back good place for a bday party for the ladies. Delicious drinks also!

   Host one of the best bands in town once a month, Urban Jazz Coalition, however service was unbelievably bad. Waited probably 30 minutes for drinks, salads came before anyone at the table had a drink. Appetizers came with the main meal and one of them was forgotten (but still tried to charge us). Would return for the music and drinks but definitely not to eat. Food was actually pretty good but presentation not fantastic and service (although very nice and polite and smiling entire time) was very very slow.

    My woman and I came to hear Meredith Evans and her sultry voice was awesome! The steak was great and the Rumba Tropical was tasty!
