Jojo's Hideaway

This is the best place around for live music and a great dinner. Only tell friends...

First time to attend a dinner & show at Jojo's Hideaway and was totally impressed. I had the Cajun shrimp fettuccini and it was so good to the last bite! The dish was loaded with huge shrimp, Cajun andouille sausage, and peppers. It was loaded with such a rich and creamy sauce. My husband had the chicken parmigiana. Chicken was cooked just right and tender. Pasta was very good! I had a couple of their very smooth pineapple Moscow mules and was just rocking out to the music of Steely Dan presented by the tribute band, Pretzel Logic. Our server was very attentive too! Such a great place. Will definitely be back for other shows & dinner of course! This place is a gem!

Great music on Thursday and Friday nights! Food is always consistent along with service! They have Jazz on Thursday and various artists and music on Fridays.

Went to enjoy a great jazz band..."B Side" and were happily surprised with amazing food and drinks. Had the Moscow Mule and the Spicy Mule. Both were outstanding. Then had the grilled artichoke which was truly superb-would come again just for this! My partner ordered the grilled salmon and he said it was the best salmon he ever ate. I am a vegetarian and our excellent waiter was extremely accommodating and made me a plate of delicious grilled vegetables. In fact, our waiter expertly cared for everyone in our large party. We will be back to enjoy the food and jazz. Check out B side when they play again...you won't B disappointed!

We were first time diners at Jojo's Hideaway for the Chalk Hill wine dinner. When we entered the restaurant at 6:05 we were left standing en masse at the waiting area with two dozen other people and weren't seated until 6:25. The room we were eventually seated in was cramped...nearly three dozen people in a side room with no windows. We both felt like we were dining in the back room of a cafeteria. The five course dinner cost $75 each. First course: cheeses, fruits, bread with a Sauvignon Blanc...my partner got a piece of fruit that I thought was some sort of fig...the seeds were very hard and she almost broke a tooth ending up retiring to the restroom to spit out the remnants...not a great start. Second course: seafood tidbits with a Chardonnay...both were good. Third course: duck breast & sausage with a Pinot Noir...both were forgettable...the duck was tough and the Pinot was watery. Fourth course: beef cap with Cabernet Sauvignon...the "steak" was tough and the Cabernet was average. Fifth course: sticky toffee dessert something that everyone at our table took one bite and left...with a decent porto. Service was okay. There was "entertainment" by an elderly man attempting to croon like Frank Sinatra...we're in our sixties and even we thought it was beyond old school boring. The worst was management decided to put an 18% tip on the card without my consent! I was going to leave a bigger tip, but I HATE when restaurants put on an automatic tip without my consent...especially when we're paying a lot of money to begin with and then they don't trust you to leave a tip? Sad.

What a fantastic night out! Jojo's has the ambiance and vibe of a private jazz club with live music and truly divine food. From my lemondrop martini, and the wine they picked out for us, to the heavenly beet and apple salad with citrus goat cheese, to the salmon which was excellent, everything on the plate was a delight. For dessert, I had the Irishman- a huge piece of layered chocolate whiskey cake that could really serve four. My dinner companions all ordered different things and everyone loved their meals. And as if this wasn't enough, this delicious meal was accompanied by bluesy, jazzy lounge music on stage, everyone was digging it. Definitely coming back here!

Great seating, first rate musicians, and good food and drinks. Highly recommended. I had the fillet and a few of their cocktail selections. Service was friendly and efficient.

Bossa Nova night with Bossa Vai Vai was 100% top notch!! The singer's voice was mesmerizing, the band solid & overall transported you to another time & place. I can't believe that JoJo's Hideaway is not packed all the time especially with quality live music being scarce in OC. Definitely worth the drive - wherever you are coming from. Looking forward to seeing Bossa Vai Vai when they return to JoJo's. They were fantastic!Lots of good food choices, everyone was happy with their meals & drinks. My friends and I plan to become 'regulars' here. Excellent OC Surprise venue!

Food amazing! Comedy great show!! Highly recommend for so many music options, wine tasting and more in a beautifully appointed private setting. We have rented the room before for a family event. Wonderful service to make our special event perfect. Ty

So perfect for a date night out! The food is so delicious I love the steak here and the service is always amazing. I have also been here for a work party and it was so much fun.
