| - When I showed up, at 7:45pm, there was not much going on. The music supposedly starts around 8:30pm. But they have a really fascinating, and endlessly entertaining clip reel playing while you wait. It is all sorts of old jazz clips (Satchmo, Ma Rainy, Herbie Hancock) and it is hooked up to their great sound system. I was on my own, so it kept me entertained.
The music was pretty mellow when I came. It was a piano led quartet, nothing earth shaking, but decent. The food was ok. I ordered the ribs/chicken combo. The ribs were tastey, but not tender the way you want your BBQ, and the chicken was dry in spots, but again, tasted good. I would say the star was the cole slaw. (of all things) Desserts were nothing to mention, and a note to iced tea drinkers, theirs is sweet, as, I suppose, you would expect from a BBQ place. The service started off alright, but by about 9 I was pretty sure my waitress was the only person working the floor. It prolonged the meal quite a bit, but seeing as how I was charged an extra $5 to see the show (on top of the rather pricey food) I was fine with the extra wait. Hell, at least they weren't rushing me out to turn over the tables.
The decor is absolutely awesome, hard to describe. Looks great, though. Lots going on!
This place would be better if you were with friends.
