Great place for an adult crowd. Features free live R&B or jazz on the first level every Friday. Most of the musicians are outstanding. Other monthly live shows feature acts from the US as well as Africa and the Caribbean, They recently made great improvements with their security staff. Now they are more personable when greeting customers. Recent Halloween party was lots of fun. This venue has been around longer than most. Congrats to the staff for keeping going for so long.
THE BAND THAT PERFORMED ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 16TH 2009 SOUNDED TERRIBLE. THE FEMALE VOCALIST COULD NOT SING AT ALL AND WAS EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO SCREEN THE BANDS A LOT BETTER. HOWEVER THE FOOD AND DRINKS WERE GOOD.
The busboys take your drinks when you go to dance, even when the glasses are still half full and even if you ask them not to remove your drink glasses from your table.
