    We sat in the back dining room on the 2nd floor. The front dining room is the fanciest. But both are beautiful. The waitstaff was very attentive. Perfect steak. The sea bass was very thick and not quite what I expected. But it was good. Would get the snapper next time. Delicious, hot sides (scalloped potatoes, broccoli), interesting house salad! The food is very filling. We didn't even have room for dessert! Next time we'll just get one side for the table and save room for dessert. Afterwards we came down to the first floor and listened to the amazing jazz combo for another hour. The bar downstairs does have a small food menu. So if you're just coming for the music, you might sit downstairs for a different experience. We will do that next time. The music is AWESOME.

    The ahi tuna is my recommendation for a starter course. Paired with a beautiful wine. Perfect! Next I ordered the braised beef short ribs and it was amazing! My spouse ordered the scallops and risotto and that was the best risotto I’ve tasted. Ever. Amazing staff and atmosphere! I only have one wish. And that’s to have cocktails available. Only a beautiful wine list, sake, and a few light beers. Definitely will be coming back!
