Adam Thompson

What a cool spot! We stopped by on Monday night for the open sign up night. It was cool to see the jam band environment. Drinks were groovy and the brownie ice cream was amazing . Make sure to book ahead as they have full performances most nights of the week!

Visiting The Jazz Kitchen was such a treat! Kat Edmonson was phenomenal (as was her guitarist!). The food was excellent (highly recommend the crab cakes!), service was great, and ambiance was cool, too! Definitely a great spot to go if you’re looking for something different to do for a night out. There’s a nice covered patio area if you’re just coming for dinner, too! Parking can be a bit tricky in the area, but overall isn’t too hard to find. I didn’t manage to get many pictures, I was so in the moment, but would 100% like to come back at some point!

I saw a fantastic jazz band performance here. They were top notch musicians and the music was beautiful. I ordered a vegetarian dish that was quite good and my wife was happy with her food. She wanted a cocktail and tried to order a "perfect gentleman", but the waitress said there were no "perfect gentleman" available any more... She got something else and was happy with that. Morale of the story, you can't always get a "perfect gentleman", but you can find something that this is perfectly good. We sat in a corner booth not facing the stage of TV. We were in the room next to the room with the stage, We couldn't see the stage. I liked it that way. There was only one tv showing the show to the room next to the stage room. So if a couple sat at some of the tables, one person's back would be to the TV. Tip to the owners, mount 2 more TV's., or not. I liked being tucked in a corner booth with my wife. The music was the foreground sonically, but visually we were the other's cynosure. If there were 2 more TVs, it would remove the exact situation I preferred. It's great how it is. You could buy tickets early and show up for the show early if you want to be up close to the band. We were 10 minutes late, and still very happy with our seating. She loved dessert too, ice cream and bread pudding. I fully recommend checking it out.

Completely pleased! I was here for a late show. The entrance procedure was well organized. Both the coffee and brownie decadence desert were a delight for the taste.

Great time with friends. The strawberry spinach salad was very, very good. The music excellent! The service could have been better. I really wanted dessert, but the waitstaff just brought my check without asking if any of us wanted anything else. Once I'm closed out by the person serving me, I will not continue to order. I did mention to her she should ask if anyone wants dessert or anything before bringing the bill over. The carrot cake was calling my name, . She got a nasty attitude stating she told the host what time she was closing the checks since there was another show after us. I was instantly confused asking what host? Her response the friend that arrived first. This made zero sense, I did not order through the host I ordered with her. All good, it was definitely reflected in her service nonservice payment. One should always ask if anyone wants more before closing the tip.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Spent NYE here and it’s so perfect if you don’t want to go DT Indy and want a more intimate experience. Loved the special menu tonight, my favorite was the shrimp cocktail and chicken étouffée. Grace Kelly is an amazing performer and I look forward to spending the next NYE with Jazz Kitchen. Worth the price and amazing vibes! 100+ per person for NYE prices FYI 🙂
