Jazz 28. Aqua blue hits your eyes when you first step in. A cozy bar stretches from the entrance to the back of the kitchen on the right side. The restaurant itself is packed with tiny little tables and a small stage in the back for the Jazz musicians to play.
When we arrived it was ABSOLUTELY EMPTY! Now....this may be a good or a bad thing - it depends on what kind of night you are looking for ;) It had been a Wednesday evening in November and it was pouring rain out. However.... I don't think there's anything better than sitting in an empty room with candles all lit up with a personal live Jazz performance as background music. Well maybe not background music since the singing was a bit loud and overpowered our conversation at times. Were they just vying for our attention? :) After their performances, the musicians/owners (amnesia on names) were friendly enough to chat with us, making it a little less awkward since we were the only 2 in the room - and also letting us know they weren't just going to eavesdrop on our conversation the entire time. Later on in the night, the power went out! Everything went dark - which I think made the restaurant 100 times more romantic because of all the candles....and also wasn't blinded by the hideous blue paint on the walls!
Despite my positive review, I would only give this place 3 stars from a food/drink standpoint but giving it a 4 because of the atmosphere and live Jazz performance :)
Appetizer: Apple pancake w/ Salmon
Entree: Airline Chicken w/ Spinach and Sweet Potato Mash
Drink: Basil Vodka
All yummy.
Overall, a great place to take your date for great Live Jazz (the smoky kind) and special alone-time....
