| - In real life this place is a 3.5, but I definitely would say it rounds down to a three for Yelp purposes.
The music was great on Saturday: chill, talented, smooth - made for an excellent double type type atmosphere. Lots of people, but not too crowded, meaning we were able to carry on conversations and listen to fine jazz without yelling or feeling like we were interrupting the performance.
Unfortunately, this place only felt the need to operate with one bartender, resulting in snail-esque service speeds. Also, orders coming in from the servers took priority over mine, even after the drinks were partially made, which pulled me away from my group and made me quite thirsty, both being awful occurrences. The bartender had a lassez-faire attitude while the servers had a gruff and hurried demeanor, definitely drawing away from the overall chill attitude of the place.
I liked the atmosphere enough that I would go back for another try, but if the service was that poor again I would probably avoid a third attempt and decide to spend my two-drink cost of $16 on a bottle of liquor, make my own drinks, light some candles, and change the TV to BET Jazz - wasting 13 minutes twice in the same night away from my date waiting for drinks is not the way to create a good post-bar atmosphere.
