The services was beyond friendly and I was genuinely, pleasantly surprised. I did not mention the band, which was the highlight of the evening, but I am guessing even a D-level group would be elevated to an A+ by this venue.

Portions were satisfying, and the menu has enough variety to keep things interesting!!!!!!!! Service was friendly and efficient, even though it got busy while we were there. A couple of items took a bit longer than expected, and one dish could have been a little hotter, but nothing that ruined the experience. Overall, Birdland is a solid spot for a casual meal with good vibes and dependable food. Worth a visit, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!!

My friends had an extra ticket to "Big Band Afrobeat to Afrobeats: Ulysses Owens Jr. with Michael Olatuja" in Jazz at Lincoln Center's The Appel Room. My first time here, I was really excited.

To add, our tickets enable us to head afterwards to the adjacent Dizzy's Club without a cover, where there was a fantastic small jazz trio. An amazing evening!

Each night Broadway stars and emerging artists give cabaret-style performances for eager audiences. 54 Below, known as "Broadway's Supper Club," offers a seasonal menu of classic American cuisine. The dining experience was interesting and the service was fast and friendly. My friend and I split a burger and fries ($25), had 2 cocktails ($19 each) and a pinot grigio ($17). They had a minimum spend of $25 per person, which we easily met. There are about 20 tables and 6 larger booths. When we went many of the booth seats were taken by family and friends of the performers. The overall experience was entertaining. My friend really loved it. I thought it was great to experience something different and special, but I'm not sure how often I would come back.

Regardless, I love the dark decor. Its not loud or anything, just a more relaxing environment for drinks where you can actually speak to each other. They have a huge selection of drinks, not too much to eat but there's plenty of restaurants in the area to handle that for you. The popcorn did smell good though. It was also the end of Happy Hour when we arrived. My husband got the 'Hot Buttered Rum' and I got the 'Escape' which was Bacardi 8yr Rum, Coconut Crème, Pineapple Juice, Sweet Vermouth. The drinks were STRONG. They are also pricy but the Hot Buttered Rum was part of Happy Hour so that helped. The service was super friendly, knowledgeable and quick. I would come back or recommend if you are in the area. It was a nice little place and glad I finally tried it.

Went to Tomi jazz on a Friday at 5pm and the line was already quite long and not moving fast. But…read morewe were ready to wait and excited for some jazz. After 1.5 hours, we got a table inside but no view at all on the jazz band, which is a shame for a jazz club... Fortunately, after the appetizer, the waiter offered a table at the bar (probably knowing this was a bad table), unfortunately we still couldn't see the band as a large pillar was obstructing the view. On the food side, we ordered the okonomyaki and the udon. They were fabulous! The food and the vibe of the place are definitely worth the hype. But if you are going for the jazz part, as we were, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in the audience. People are going for instagram now, not the music, so few people were applauding. That's too bad. I heard it used to be a casual place.

The live band was great, the vibe was lively, and people were actually dancing instead of just sitting around pretending they're "listening." Food was good, service was easygoing, and the best part: zero pressure. They have a minimum spend, but they don't play games with it. Hit the minimum however you want, drinks or food, your choice. Other places love to force both, which is basically a tax on having fun. Not here. Why not 5 stars? The place is a bit dated. Our booth was literally held up with tape and the cushion situation was... let's call it "vintage springs." I heard they're planning a remodel, and if that happens, this becomes an easy 5. Until then, it's a very fun 4 and I'd absolutely come back.

Bartender was nice, food was good, not great, but to be expected. My husband and I got the soup, hanger steak and brownie for dessert. We were in and out in 50 minutes because we rushed them along so we could make our show and they were super accommodating and nice about it. Didn't need a reservation either! Probably wouldn't come back, not because we didn't like it, but because jazz honestly isn't my thing and going for the food is just ehh. If you're into a chic, classic club vibe with awesome talent though, def can't recommend enough!
