Editorial Review
by CitySearch Contributor
The posh atmosphere and legendary talent at this upscale jazz club are exemplary.

In Short
Whether you're seated at an intimate bistro table along the glittering balcony, or sinking into the black velvet of a stage-hugging banquette, there's not a bad seat in the house. Service is cordial, but sparse once the music starts. Candlelight dining and excellent acoustics make this club the de facto standard for live jazz in the city.

    While visiting Seattle recently, made a trip over to this landmark jazz club. Although not easy to find, true to its name the entrance is in the back of the building on a alley way. Big/dark/downstairs room with lots of candle-lit tables. Sat at the bar which was fine but a tab uncomfortable (they actually have coat hooks under the bar). Saw the Jeff Lorber quartet that nite. Remember back in the day, he was a big fusion act with lots of electric sound. However the group played a very good set of acoutical jazz featuring sax/bass.drums/piano. Their sound system was excellent (not too loud). Heard from some patrons the food was good. Surprised how family-friendly the place was (number of children/teen-agers in the audience). Overall good job by the staff as well as the musicians.

    An excellent venue for a wonderful variety of music. I have been going to Jazz Alley since the early 90's and have always been impressed with the performers, acoustics, and energy! However, EVERY time I've been there (and I've always had dinner) the food has been luke-warm, the servers mention lack of adequate dishware, and the food has been inconcsistent (i.e. steaks g rissly, salmon undersooked, meatballs burned, etc). Given that the cost for food is on the higher-price end, one can only hope that at some point the management might actually do something about the chef/food preparation and dinnerware!! Should that ever improve, this would defnitely be a 5-star!

    Heard John Pizzarelli in New York. If he promised not to sing, I would give him 5 stars

    I appreciate the fact that this club is for all ages. My teenage son who's crazy about jazz has the opportunities of enjoying some world-class jazz players here. Always great music even the food is a bit overpriced. We'll keep coming!!
