The musician was amazing! Noise level was great and they were very interactive. Ambiance was great as well. The food however, was terrible. not a single item was still warm, except the items that were supposed to be cold, those were warm. My significant other got a stomach ache from the "fishiest salmon he has ever tasted". Service wasn't great either. We had to ask for our bill while being the only people left in the room that wasn't staff. Would go back, but definitely not for brunch.

We had such a wonderful time during the jazz brunch today. Everything was perfect as usual. My only feedback is that the band was louder than normal so it made it difficult to talk to others at our table.
