Jazz Café

Been to the Jazz Cafe 3 times, to see SOS Band, Cameo last Nov 12, and most recently Carroll Thompson and Janet Kay in Dec 12. Music and artists are fantastic, but herein the enjoyment ceases. My wife booked a table for 2 at the top so you can see the artists from a good vantage point, however, the food was truly awful !!! Had lamb the first time and the should call it Wrigley's lamb, because you are chewing forever. The chicken and rice I had the 2nd time I went was not much better, and I will never eat there again. I will only go to the Jazz Cafe again when Third World are playing, as this reflects the true state of the toilets !!! Food & drinks are excessively overpriced, but the music is great. Only go for the music, and whatever you do, don't drink, as what goes up must come down...........

Most appalling staff at the door, the shaven head bald guy with stubbles on his scalp who the bouncers say was the "boss" was rude & verbally abusive. He & the rest of the door staff need to be sacked if this place would like to remain open. Certainly a place NOT to go to until the management looks at the behaviour of the staff. Whilst we were standing to get in, the bald guy physically pushed a man who was requesting to check with the lady who was responsible for the guest list. Shame on Jazz Club.

I have visited the Jazz Cafe on a number of occasion and finally decided to book a table in the restaurant, @ 16.50 a main meal you would at least expect for your food to be served hot, after I sent it back as it was look warm 20 mins later it was returned to me in, at a temp that I was advised was pipping hot, again the food was look warm. The service is rubbish, I mean how many times should I have to request condiments, drinks, etc before they are received, some were even requested from the manager whom again completely forgot to bring them over or either forgot we were their. I would not recommend the restuarant I had the Chicken and my friend had the Salmon (which was tasteless), both had to be sent even though we were still charged. They need to train all the staff on Customer Service. Luckly the show we went to see was amazing, next time I'll do as I used to and eat before I arrive.
