| - I would love to give this place 5 stars for food; however, the service was lackluster. The crowd is usually older (approx. late 30s+). Later in the evening, the attire is a little more like "grown and sexy," but I wouldn't overdue it.
Pros:
The live band makes BluNotes' atmosphere jazzy and vibrant! It can get pretty noisy, but what do expect at a live music joint. There is a DJ who closes out the night after the live band.
The food was "slap yo' Mama good!!" I had the shrimp and grits. Oh - My - Lawd! Every bite was better than the first! The combination of the creamy sauce, grits, and perfectly seasoned shrimp made the meal phenomenal. It is a MUST TRY!
The drinks are well-mixed and strong enough to make you groove with the music.
Cons:
The wait was ridiculously LONG! The worst was the service which made the wait even longer. Their system seemed unorganized and they were not courteous. They had poor attitudes. Not to mention they were deceptive. They'd manipulate the wait time to entice you to pay the cover. Once you're in, you're stuck waiting.
If you have reservations, they seem to seat you a little more quickly; however, you'll still wait a little while - depending your time of arrival. I'd recommend reservations.
The cover charges vary depending on the artist/band playing for the evening. We went on a Saturday night when a Grammy Award Winning Musician was featured so we paid $15/person. While two weeks before they were only charging $5/person.
Overall, if you can scoop a deal on Groupon, don't miss it. The food is worth trying; however, brace yourself for the wait and the poor service of the entry staff.
