We finally got into Jammin' Java for a recent concert by Vicki Peterson and John Cowsill; we see a…read morelot of live music but hadn't had occasion to visit before. What a FANTASTIC intimate music venue! I suspect there are no bad seats - our seats were great. The sound reinforcement was excellent - well balanced and at a perfect volume. Menu is simple but the food is good, as are the drinks. Service is quite friendly and *quick* - and the idea of small standee cards to indicate you need a server's attention is brilliant in a listening venue, since servers don't need to constantly check on you and ask how you're doing. Sadly, JJ doesn't seem to get very many musical artists in that are the sort we seek out - but when they do get any, we'll definitely be back.

I was recently here for the second time, and it is a great, intimate venue with good service, but…read morethe seating and logistics leave something to be desired. The size of the space is good for some smaller touring performers, and the sound quality has been excellent both times that I have been here. Service was pretty quick and the servers have been friendly. Further, the food that I have tried has been good and fresh, and they have a decent drink selection. While my service was quick, I arrived pretty early so there were only a couple others there at first. They seemingly only had one server for everyone, which is wild and things were more delayed once it got busier. Additionally, the tables are so close together it would be inaccessible if all seats were filled. The row on the other side of my table only had one person, yet it was still difficult for that person to get out because the other table whose backs were facing them had most spots filled. It was hard and disruptive for people to get out of their seats to go to the restroom and such because seats were super close together. Had both sides of the tables been filled, people would have either been stuck where they were or everyone else would have had to get up to let them out. The way that the tables are placed also makes it hard for some seats to see the performer(s) without fully turning their chair (which, given the space issues, wouldnt work for everyone to do). Anyway, I do like this venue, but I hope they reconsider the setup. While this may mean a reduction in premium price seating, it would be a much better experience for attendees.

We enjoy our time visiting Wolf Trap. We recently moved to DC from LA where we lived within walking…read moredistance to the famed Hollywood Bowl. This is the closest thing to it in the DC area. While not quite as glamorous as the Hollywood Bowl, we appreciate that this venue exists. We laugh that there is a mostly outdoor concert venue when DC summers are notoriously humid and filled with heavy-hitting thunderstorms. There was one concert where there was a shelter-in-place order, prior to the concert. We decided to risk it and luckily the storm passed. I will say, the DC crowd is much hardier than LA. If there was even a rain drop in the forecast, nobody would show up in SoCal. But in DC, people will ride the storm. On our previous visit, it was a full-on downpour nobody abandoned their spots. I was impressed and at the same time, disappointed since I wanted a better spot in the field! There are covered seats, which is probably the safer bet. But we love the lawn seating for its laid back vibe and picnic atmosphere. Even with the rain, we'll be back!

My son has taken drum lessons elsewhere for over a year. And has only learned patterns. We came to…read moreSchool of Rock and he learned so much in just a few weeks! How to set up his drums. The idea of ear plugs for his sensitive ears. Picking out songs he likes so he can learn them with other kids. His teacher is great! And he is really enjoying it! The lessons are twice a week so it keeps drumming in his head. It feels like he is on his way to be in a kid band instead of stuck in a sound proof room playing patterns. We are very happy with the whole experience. The office manager is professional, smart and well organized. The teachers are talented and good to the kids. We will be here for a while! I look forward to my son's concerts in the future! PS - we have been to several concerts performed by a plethora of students. Very cool. Great experience!!

I don't understand this place. I got an initial call back to discuss how the place works, but then…read morescheduling a trial lesson was like pulling teeth-- calling, emailing, finally texting. Took forever. Got to the trial lesson only to be told the person we'd worked so hard to get wasn't available so it's with so-and-so. Uh. Fine, but we picked the other person for a reason. And booked another trial with the original teacher, only to get to THAT lesson and realize it's still not the instructor we'd been aiming for. While sitting during the lesson, another student walked in and was told "oh so-and-so is no longer with us so this other person will be your teacher today." What? So you're not told ahead of time? (The mom asked when they'd known this teacher was leaving and it was two weeks prior, but they didn't bother to give anyone notice.) I find it strange that you pay in advance for these situations. Anyway. It's too poorly managed for me, which is too bad because it is certainly a great concept.
