First off, I was both mesmerized and intrigued by the name, all embodying things I love and enjoy dearly - poetry, jazz, and a charming cafe. Nestled on a busy street in Toronto, this was the perfect way to end a wonderful night celebrating my birthday. On a Thursday night, to my surprise and benefit, it just so happened that The Bentley Collective was on schedule for entertainment. Everything was smooth, peaceful, enjoyable, and delightful. Not a negative vibe was there to be found. I did not try the food (I was already stuffed from an earlier dinner), but I did partake in a delicious "Poetry Lychee Martini". In fact, I had about 3 of them - I happened to be sitting directly next to my birthday twin. She was a local who frequented the establishment and welcomed me with a warm greeting and birthday cocktails for both of us. How generous and kind! The live music was chef's kiss. The crowd was calm and collected. Great time all around. I look forward to stopping by again!!!

Oh well, no fault of Kris U though 'cause participating Yelpers did have their own section, in the VIP tent, AND a free drink to boot!

So even though we weren't able to fully enjoy the music that was supposed to be intended for our ears, we did get to know one another while take cover at the Port Credit Arena. :) Something that I don't think would be impossible during a concert. Live music can be pretty loud and disturbing to a conversation! A for effort and until next year, Southside Shuffle! Shoutouts to the first-timers at this event!

We arrived on time for our reservation and were reminded about the $20 per person cover charge, which was fine by me since it goes directly to the musicians. We were shown to a table that was very close to the stage, which was cool, but the way the table was placed meant that my back was to the stage, which meant I had to keep craning my neck to get a decent view. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. Add to that the extremely loud music and a lack of proper air conditioning and I was just suffering in my seat. But I was trying to be a trooper about it, so I ordered a Manhattan. The drink was pretty decent, but I was just so hot and so uncomfortable that finally I threw up my arms and requested the cheque. Our waiter was very apologetic but we were charged the full cover, which meant that with the drink and tip the bill came out to $77. $77 for a 26 minute experience is a little ludicrous. I can't say I'll ever return. One thing I'll say is that there's a reason jazz clubs usually have round tables. It's so unpleasant to have the band at your back, and I'm shocked that's the layout they're going with.
