In Short – Decor is smoothly understated--a hallway latticework punctuated by wine bottles and scattered musician posters on the walls. A retractable curtain separates the jazz club from the dining room. Besides great jazz, the emphasis is on Chef Ken Goff's creative renditions of refined Midwestern specialties. Signature starters feature creamy Brie-and-apple soup or duck-filled wontons, steam-fried and subtly spiced with cranberry-maple sauce. Comfort-food classics range from rustic beef stew to smoky grilled bison.

cool music, amazing service, and a chef who really cares.
It's all good there.

Vegetarians, beware.
by veggiegirl80
I went here on a date that just happened to be on Friday the 13th, the day before Valentine's day. Unbeknownst to me, there was a special "valentine's" menu - with a drastically overpriced 4 course menu. The only item that looked vegetarian was the cauliflower soup. This $15 soup was approximately 1/3 or 1/4 of a cup of soup. With a piece of brioche with lobster on top! (To justify the $15 charge?)
Music = good. Food = overpriced, puny portions.
- Pros: music
- Cons: pricey food, no veggie options

expensive, but worth it.

Went for a live jazz event and a romantic dinner. I'm not used to the shared table, but besides that the night went smoothly. The steak was good, the ambiance was haute and the show was superb-- albeit the prices ARE a bit high.
- Pros: live jazz, good food
- Cons: slightly overpriced
