This is a jazz/blues bar. One of very few, actually, nowadays. Normally, you wouldn't expect a dinner, but this one had pretty delicious food. The main thing is, of course, a music show that was awesome! It's a small place, so it was very cozy. Everyone is close to the stage.

Great experience. It’s my first time here in Biscuit and Blues. The check in is easy: I just provided the front desk my name and he verified my reservations and issued our tickets. The venue is small but very cozy. We were able to sit at the back centered to the stage. The atmosphere was great. Everyone was enjoying the show; of course, Gunhild was fabulous! The food was so so, but we were here for the show and not for a dining experience, we were fine with it. Overall, it’s a great place, we had a great time there!

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.
