    Biscuits and Blues is my archetype of the perfect music venue. The service and staff are great. The bands which they book are ideal for the space. I have gone from looking for particuclar acts, to just deciding with my partner that we will be going here at least once per month and enjoy whoever is playing. I am so grateful that this great venue/restaurant exists!

    I thought there would be a full venue and at the dinner show, it was pretty sparse. Music was great though.

    My family and I enjoyed excellent food, ambiance and live music at Biscuits and Blues. Salmon with broccoli and carrots was my entree choice, and it was perfectly prepared. Service was attentive, thoughtful and pleasant. Fantastic!
