  • Having been to several jazz clubs in Montreal, New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, etc., this place was very different from what I expected, especially based on the other reviews. My first impression upon walking in was: "I feel very over-dressed." It's not like I was in formal attire or anything: I was just dressed for dinner and music on a Friday night! But I felt awkward because most of the crowd in this place was wearing shorts, oversized t-shirts, baseball caps, and cross-trainers with tube socks. It's not unusual to see some very casual attire at a jazz venue (ex: t-shirts and jeans), but not like this. I wish I'd been prepared for that and dressed accordingly so I didn't feel so out of place. And it was weird to see the crowd dressed this way, given the decor and the staff's attire. That juxtaposition made it feel like I was eating in a jazz-themed restaurant at Disney World or something. Just... Not what I expected. But the more important stuff: service was great, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the band was excellent... So it was a real shame that I could barely hear them thanks to chatter from the audience. It seemed that 90% of the crowd didn't appreciate the music: they talked over it the entire time, getting louder whenever the band played louder. Nobody seemed to be paying attention at all! Despite the great service and great music, the weird "theme restaurant" vibe and the crowd's disrespect for the performance kind of killed the experience for my date and I. So, we left pretty early. We headed to Diese Onze afterwards and had a much better time, the biggest difference being that the audience was actually engaged with the show instead of talking over it. Maybe our experience isn't typical, so I would still come back (dressed more appropriately, I guess). But I would be sure to make a reservation, hopefully to get a table closer to the band and hear less of the crowd's chatter. I've also seen other jazz clubs make announcements asking the crowd to please minimize talking during the performance, which seems to work well. I'm not sure if they usually do that here, but it didn't happen while we were there. Overall pretty disappointing, although not because of the service or the band.
