    My overall experience was good. A suggestion would be for the waitresses to make sure the $50.00 per person minimum is known by everyone. First timers are so excited about the experience, they over look the fine print.

    Very nice place. Wait staff excellent and great martinis. However need improvement on some of the dishes. The Truffle mushroom Pappardelle pasta was over cooked and the sauce too thick. The calamari was quite Chewey. Recommend to go, would like to see improvement on the food.

    My mom and I had the most incredible time at Jazz Tastings Saturday night! The food was delicious and the drink selection was great. The entertainment was also top notch. If Joseph Jevanni is playing you have to go!

    This was an amazing experience for a date night! The food was excellent — we had the shrimp scampi, crab cakes, short ribs, and truffle mushroom pasta. I had two small observations to note: food-wise, the truffle pasta could’ve done without the tomatoes, as they seemed to take away from the truffle flavor. However, the shrimp scampi absolutely needs to come with more bread — or maybe even a straw — because that sauce was so good, I was scraping it up with my fork! The ambiance was fun and intimate, with really great entertainment. The band was fantastic and kept the vibe going all night. Our server, Michelle, was wonderful and kept an eye on us, even while managing a large table and a few others. All in all, this was a fantastic place, and I can’t wait to come back and experience it again!

    We had a really great time ! Food and drinks were amazing . It is a little on the more expensive side . On Friday & Saturdays they have a minimum 50 dollar spend per person and added 20% gratuity. I didn’t mind but just something to make sure you know . The music was amazing overall I would definitely recommend.

    One of the best date-night venues in Central Florida. Unique vibe with great music, enthusiastic staff, excellent food and cocktails, and a pretty good wine list. VIP members get their own wine locker, which is awesome.

    This is a gem of Central Florida. The food is excellent, the service friendly and professional, but the entertainment is out of this world. I'm from New York and San Francisco, so I've enjoyed Jazz clubs. This is right up there!

    The food, entertainment & service were great, with one exception. They have an automatic 20% gratuity added to your bill, which the server does NOT notify you of, nor does their website state that. I didn't see the charge till I took the receipt home, which many people don't, and read it the next day. Admittedly, it was on the tabulation of the bill, but in the dark, with lots of noise & especially as a 1st time visitor, I did not notice an auto-service charge. At the very least, it should be stated on the website (& I looked the day after; I couldn't find i) AND the server should inform you. Well, she got lucky with a great tip, but will I ever go back? Kind of short-sighted business practice if you ask me. It really detracted from would otherwise have been a great evening.
    Jazz TastingsResponded on April 25, 2025
    Joanie, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for sharing both what you enjoyed and where we fell short. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the food, entertainment, and Janelle’s service. Regarding the 20% automatic gratuity—transparency is very important to us. While it is noted at the bottom of our menu both in-house and on our website, we understand it may not be immediately noticeable in a lively environment. We’ll be reinforcing with our team the importance of clearly communicating this. We include the charge to fairly support our service team and ensure consistent hospitality. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for a seamless, memorable experience.
