"Small menu but what they do they do well. Red wine flight disappointing - fairly ordinary. Service was excellent. Reception was cold and distracted."

"Management's decision to provide an extremely limited Sundy Brunch menu as they prepared to change locations proved to be horribly disappointing for my friends and me. We went to our favorite restaurant expecting to enjoy the outstanding food we've come to love as we said goodbye to the familiar location. Not only were the selections sparse, but I had to send my order back because the food was terrible!

Perhaps if/when there's a need to streamline the menu again the managers/owners will take into consideration the fact that customers still want good quality food. At this point I'm reluctant to patronize them at their new location.

Special thanks to the manager for his understanding & taking care of my returned meal"

"Everything was great but for 1 thing-We weren't seated in the room where the band was! This was a dissapointment for a former musician like me. Everything else was great though."

"I had the dinner caesar salad with skirt steak. The skirt steak was extremely salty. The salad was two romaine hearts with dressing and cheese. The cheese platter was very good and the selection of wine flights was a nice touch. Too trendy for us."

"We are going to be 30 minutes late on Valentines day so we call them and notify them on our way. The manager answered the call and professionally told us that as it is all booked, he will hold the table for us for 15 mintues. So we rushed and finally get there around 16 minutes behind our origianlly appointment. The manager greed us in and told us that he will hold the table for us even though we are more than 15 mintues behind as he knows we are on our way. He also asked us two times whether we are satisfy with our table as we are sitting right next to the brand which will be noise.

We appreciate his professional manner and will definitely recommend to our friends who also love jazz music and good food.

Prices are great."

"AMAZING. This is by far the BEST Dine LA meal we have had and we do this a lot. Every bite of food was great. Out of 7 different items that we tried, only one was not a winner (Wine poached apple salad). I would recommend them a thousand times over and my husband and I look forward to going back. We looked up the restaurant to find out more about the chef, and this young chef has an amazing career ahead of him. Thank you for the wonderful meal and great music."

"Terrific experience! My partner and I attended the restaurant because of their participation in DineLA. The food was amazing - the tasting portions were satisfying and the flavor balance was exquisite. I can't wait to go back to taste what is on their regular menu. Service was very good as a whole; water glasses were regularly refilled, wine offered, and plates promptly removed. My only minor hesitation to saying service was excellent was rushing to give us the check before we had an opportunity to order after-dinner drinks. Excellent experience all around (how can you beat good food, good company, and good jazz?)"

"The food was decent, but way overpriced. Our waiter was ok, but kept forgetting what I requested. I would only go back for appetizers and for the music. DO NOT try the Key Lime cocktail. It is way bitter. But do try the sweet potato fries."

"I usually always rave about redwhite+bluezz as my experience with their Sunday Brunch is awesome! But after our DineLA dinner last night, I felt disappointed. The crab cakes appetizer were good; two large crab cakes but could've been more crispy. The salad dishes were just okay; we shared the poached apple salad and the proscuitto & persimmon salad...not memorable, trying to be too fancy and the flavors didn't come together for us. My braised short ribs were tender and tasty. Had the "apple pie in a jar" but we had to ask our waiter for the Fosselman's vanilla bean ice cream which was to come with it. Overall it was just an okay dining experience. I think I'll just keep to their Sunday Brunch and live music by Brother Yusef."

"I'm going to ignore the fact that the restaurant seated us with our reservation and then told OpenTable that we never showed. Although that's annoying.

The place is loud - the jazz is good, but loud - and thus it's not ideal for people wanting to talk with their dinnermates. We got the four course meal, which ran $45 per person (not $40 as advertised). I ordered the four wine glass taster for $20, which was non-memorable. The place screwed up our order entirely twice, but gave us all the wrong food AND our entire order, comped. The food was a bit flavorless, and for $45, I could have done a LOT better elsewhere. I'd recommend this place once for the jazz, but not for the food."
