Food is ok, live music

by justpassingby123

The musicians are all over the place. Some are excellent. Some are so-so but try really hard. Some obviously have rich parents behind them and don't impress. Heck you can barely hear any emotion in them. They probably bored Columbia Students doing the musician impression to tell the parents paying the bill they do have a gig.

• Pros: live music
• Cons: some of the musicians have the rich musician syndrome

bad attitude from manger maher

by tigerk

i called to make a reservation for me and my family and had a friend that wanted to try the open mike,

as i ask that idiot MAHER about the open mike and to see if they served all arabic food he says i got go and hangs up the phone in my face.

that was on the phone i wounder how he will treat his customers in person.

maybe the owners want to teach this idiot how to talk to custmoers, before they make a guy that sounds like he does'nt want to be there to become a manger.

• Pros: i did not even have to go there
• Cons: no respect for customers

Good jazz, but that's about it.

by eb118

I go here to watch my friend play jazz and appreciate that they give space to musicians.

But other than that, it's just an overpriced (i.e. $8 bottled beers) bar with underwhelming service and mediocre middle eastern style food. The service is grumpy and inattentive.

I also don't understand why a jazz venue needs to have a gigantic TV set competing with the live music. On our last visit, the Simpsons was on with the volume off. Come on.

• Pros: live jazz
• Cons: extremely overpriced, lousy service
