It's a wonderful sounding room with lots of great talent on the roster. Room feels good too. But I have to tell you that every single thing we ate was bad. The steak didn't have enough sauce, the salad was bitter with not enough dressing, the potatoes were tasteless.. the house wine was VERY low end.Hummas wasn't too bad. They are clearly looking at food cost and profit...they need to add a little to their budget that would go a long way. I will be back, but I won't ever eat there again. I'll drink something they cant screw up like a Budweiser. I'm a night club owner, audio engineer and musician myself and I really appreciate the job they did with the sound rig, It's beautifully smooth. The engineer did a great job of capturing Chic Corea's piano sound as well as Stanley Clarkes Bass ... all of the depth and harmonics were captured well. The food's not cheap, but if they need to add a couple of bucks to the menu to make their dishes better and improve their guest experience, they should. I was was with my daugter so I didn't want a whole bottle of wine. The house wine was disasterous. There is nothing worse than bad wine, yuck. I had the merlot..then I got the pinot noir..it wasn't much better. The servers were spread too thin. If I had wanted to send anything back, i really didn't have the opportunity to do it. The bussboy filled our waters up about 10 times. He was all over it. But the pleasant server had WAY too many tables to do her job properly. The club is much more comfortable and better sounding than the Blue note in NYC but the food is MUCH better at the Blue Note... Have I made my point yet, LOL... Mr. Dimitriou, please increase your food quality to match the quality of your fantastic room!

I love that I can see an amazing big jazz name in a beautiful, classy venue for less than 20 dollars as a student. I love that Jazz Alley also goes above and beyond just jazz concerts and also includes more eclectic names as well. All the shows are top quality, and the food is pretty good as well. If you're planning on having dinner, it will set you back a little though... plan on upwards of 20-30 per person. Students, make sure to ask about student discounts. Such an amazing deal!

My wife and I have gone to Jazz Alley numerous times over the last 18 months. We have consistently had great evenings of entertainment and dinner without a single disappointment. The service is friendly, understated and efficient-a phenomenon of its own in Seattle. Food is reasonably priced, and the food is good. I don't understand why anyone would go somewhere else to eat first. There are several rather nasty reviews that seem to be written by the same committee, so I would take them with a grain of salt. The entertainment speaks for itself. Top rate performers, every seat has a first rate view, plenty of room for singles. I'm looking forward to my next visit.
