Was looking for a local Jazz Lounge to take my boyfriend for his 30th. I didn't want to go…read moresomewhere crowded or rowdy since he prefers a more relaxed and serene atmosphere. I found out this lounge does late night jazz which worked perfectly for our evening plans and is near where we live. I noted that they just sold beer and wine when booking the ticket so I wasn't expecting a full bar. Tickets were available online and you had the option to select your seats. We arrived for the show and were immediately greeted by Leonard, one of the staff and musicians. He showed us our seats, pointed out the musicians, let us know they'd be starting shortly, and brought us menus with beer, wine, and a few canned cocktail options. The space was small and intimate. The musicians introduced themselves and spoke directly to the crowd before and during their show. It was awesome to feel really immersed in the experience. They did a fantastic job riffing off of each other and giving space to one another for an engaging and entertaining performance. We were really happy to find this gem and hope they can keep putting on these shows.

KIFM really knows how to throw a great festival and for a really reasonable price ($29.00). The awesome lineup this year included Gerald Albright, Peter White, Mindy Abair, Brian Culbertson, Kim Waters and the Sax Pack and many other artists. Seems like over 20-25 venues participated with stages as well. The festival spilled over to many other concerts the following day. I stumbled across Fattburger @ Humphrey's the next day! I know I'm starting to sound like an marketer for these guys but I just wanted to put this out there for those who love smooth jazz in San Diego. It's alive and kickin'. Don't sleep on this on next year.

The live music was definitely the highlight: fun, nostalgic, and clearly loved by the crowd. The vibe leans toward the older generation, but honestly it was really endearing seeing everyone enjoy themselves. Food and drinks weren't the stars of the night, but they did the job. Service was surprisingly attentive, even though we were seated in the darkest corner of the place. Overall, a solid experience and a great spot if you're here for the live music!

A classic rock cover band The Locals were playing. We walked in just after 5:00 and the place was pretty full, but we lucked out and scored a tall four-top just off of the dance floor. Our table had great, unobstructed views to the stage. Laura was our server. Man! This lovely young woman was on point! It was crowded, she had a lot of tables, but Laura was on it! We were never left wanting for another beverage. Our food orders were taken quickly. Our food was delivered without delay and piping hot. When it was time to go, our check was brought to us immediately upon request. Outstanding service from Laura. The food was excellent. We shared the Shrimp Cocktail with house made cocktail sauce and the Korean Beef Spring Rolls (kimchi | garlic chile ponzu) appetizers. The shrimp were huge! The largest shrimp we'd ever seen in a shrimp cocktail. The cocktail sauce was awesome. The spring rolls were fantastic! The garlic chile ponzu dipping sauce was devine! AND there was plenty of it. Kimchi provided an great palate cleanser. Prices were not bad at all either considering the venue. Two beers, two seltzers and the food were $63 and change. A relative bargain!
