Superb food, delicious cocktails, and awesome entertainment. Be sure to make reservations! Note that there is a $10 charge per person for the entertainers. Absolutely well worth it. View all feedback.
What Mspahr 1 doesn't like about Con Alma:
Do not go to this restaurant. The owner is rude. Waiters are great but she blames the downfalls of this restaurant on them. Extensive wine menu with limited availability. Selected 3 different wines before we selected one available. Once that one was selected it took an hour to receive on a 2 hour limit on the table. Would not recommend this restaurant. The owner was incredibly unaccommodating or concerning they were... View all feedback.
It doesn't get much better than a jazz club. Although , food is great, staff is great, jazz is great. One of the best spots downtown.
It was a very nice experience with a live band. 3 different bands the night I went, and the talent was pretty good here. They are seasoned bands that I've experienced. The staff is very attentive, and we lacked nothing but the end of the night. The food was delicious with attractive presentations. A unique drink menu leaving for something to explore. Very nice decor and ambiance. A charge to be seated at a table near the stage, which is perfect for date night or something more cozy. Though a bit tight, the clientele fit the atmosphere, so it doesn't feel as tight. For more solo nights, still a comfortable scene. As well bar seating is available that still has visibility to the stage if you don't want to be completely in the mix. Recommended experience!
Brought 10 friends here only to be harassed by the owner. Everything was wonderful except for when we ordered a bottle of wine, they were out of the first two we ordered so the owner came over to give us other options and we ordered a bottle of wine. It then took 45 min for our wine to get to our table. When it came time to settle the bill we asked our waiter about comping the bottle because of the delay. He stated he would get the manager then another staff member came over and said they were happy to discuss the bill but we needed to leave our table. We asked for the manager again and she came over and asked what the issue was, when we tried to explain she told us we were talking at her and rude. She quickly blamed our server and said she would remove him from the shift, we attempted to tell her it was not our servers fault at all. She then tried to tell us about her knowledge of wine, which was not the point. Our bill was almost $1000, it’s not like we wanted a free meal. I previously really enjoyed this place but will not return since the owner is argumentative and throws her own staff under the bus.Update: per the owners response you can see she is very rude. She stood there holding the credit card while berating us instead of running the transaction and letting us leave. We never said we wouldn’t leave, we wanted nothing more than to get out of there. She never took accountability either, blamed it all on the waiter, who I later spoke to and informed him it was not his fault. As we left she stood by the door and waved us out of the door. After we left we realized we were charged for an extra entree, hence why two people went back to re-discuss with her. Poor management at best and lack of professionalism. Just read her responses on bad reviews.
