    We enjoyed a most lovely evening at Shanghai Jazz in Madison! The music was outstanding and the food really delicious, something so unusual for a jazz club, as most in the city charge a lot for less than stellar food. This was our second time and we will definitely be back! 🤩🤩👍👍

    An opportunity to see world class musicians for very little (no cover, $25 minimum during the week; $40 on the weekend), which, since you're getting dinner means the music is free.

    This was my 3rd visit to Shanghai Jazz. The first two visits were with larger groups, but this was just me and a colleague. We scheduled our visit to coincide with a performance. The food was amazing, the white wine was chilled to perfection and our servers were all attentive, hospitable and fun-loving. The owner/manager also stopped by a few times to check on us. This has got to be one of my new favorite places.

    Eric Comstock was excellent. There should be some sort of sound barrier at the rear of the performance room. The folks there were much too noisy.
