Breezy Jazz House

The food was great, the drinks were strong, and the band rocked that night. It was our first time we'll become regulars.

Hidden Fees, Weak drinks, Bar food at fine-dining prices. It was like getting shook down by the homeless except they take credit cards.It started online before I even walked in with the $30 a "reservation" to sit at the bar, at online checkout they hit you with 12% taxes and fees, um, OK I guess. Next, at the bar, I'm reading the menu and there it is, in fine print on the bottom of the menu - a flat 12% fee on ALL orders. Full Stop HUGE red flag - I should have left right then. I regularly give 20% tips for good service; however, when a place tells you on the menu that they add 12% on everything - you are going to be disappointed. They know it, I knew it and they are just guaranteeing their tip, so they don't have to earn your business. The price on the menu should be the price -Everyplace that does this has crap food.On to the crap food and drinks: weak Makers and coke $15 - so I switch to bottled beer, also $15 each. Order the Spinach dip - warm canned spinach with Tostitos corn chips. Entree, (5) Wings and fries, only they ran out of fries and substituted hushpuppies without asking ($22). Small soggy Blackened Salmon and rice served on an appetizer plate ($26). Portions were small, overpriced and despite the bartenders claiming that the chef was "down from Atlanta" - the food was sub-par, prepared with an air fryer and microwave - no chief required. The website cited steaks, shrimp and grits; however, not on the menu the night I visited.On to the music, hoping it would make up for the food - nope. In the middle of the first set, despite paying $34 to sit at a bar stool, the base player stops the show to panhandle tips from the room for 15 min. Yet another shakedown. After fleecing the audience for tips, the music resumes but stopped at an hour for another break - after waiting twenty minutes for another set to never start, I decided to leave - "Check please!"Ahh the check - when I sat down, the bartender asked for a card to "start a tab." This was odd, after I paying to make a reservation - this card first is strip club BS to keep drunks from dining and dashing. This is supposed to be a high end, reservation only club with assigned seating - ANOTHER red flag that I missed when I gave him my Amx. When I asked for the check, the bartender runs my card for a "non-cash" total - again without asking how I want to pay.At the end of the night of nickel-diming the tab and pan handling they have TWO prices - cash or card. The card fee was nominal; however, the failure of the bartender to ask me how I wanted to pay was par for the course.The Breezy Jazz house has fallen for an age-old business blunder. They are chasing the money and not an excellent experience. If they focused on the experience, customers would be beating down the door and pay any cost. Instead they are chasing the money and are failing their guests.Stay home, order door dash and watch Whiplash instead.

This was terrible. A cover charge just to sit down. They didn't have the ingredients for multiple "specialty cocktails". Sub-par food... actually, the food was terrible. I had the Salmon and it came right out of the Morton's box. My husband had the wings (and we had to stop on the way home for tummy medicine). Then we got the check and there were $36 worth of "fees". Our bills was $144 for $40 worth of food and drinks. Absolutely ridiculous. So disappointed. In hind sight, we should have been tipped off that we were the only people in there. The fees are shameful. I would not recommend this place. At all. For anything. The band was good tho.

I had such an amazing time at breezy. Eric Carter was performing and it was such a fun time. he got into the crowd and had everyone up, dancing and singing along. The food was good and just the right proportion. I loved my cocktails too. The bartender made multiple great specialty drinks and we will defintioy be back.

The drinks were overpriced, weak and watered down. For the price, they could've at least used fresh mixers vs the stuff from a liquor store shelf. There was a $25 cover charge to sit in a hot bar. The waitress was slow and they kept forgetting to put my drink order in. She took orders for a few people and we had to call her back over to get orders from everyone else who wanted food. The menu is limited but the salmon was pretty good. So was the pasta my sister had. The band was the best part of the night. Overall, I wasn't impressed. I was disappointed and don't plan on going back. There are better choices around town with great drinks and live music.

I'm always looking for live music. Not just live but good and soulful music! Service was on time and still hot. Food was delicious and drinks were good.Bathroom very clean and nice.Seating is a little tight, but I can work with.The ticket price is a little pricey but for the experience and music; nothing seems to compare to a grown, sexy and talented atmosphere. A+ on the parking, bring located downtown can be difficult. Specially on a date night!

So I'm visiting Jacksonville and we wanted to hear some good jazz and have some good food. It was okay. The drinks were too sweet and not enough alcohol. A shot was not worth getting. The fish tacos had no taste and the tortillas were burnt taste. The chicken dip was okay but not fresh or hot when served. The shrimp was okay but not seasoned to perfection. The wings were a good taste but it seems like food sits in the back before coming to the table so it wasn't fresh to eat. The music was not bad at all. The service was slow . Come as you are no dress code

Flew into Jacksonville to celebrate a friends birthday. The Breezy Jazz House was chosen to cap off the day of activities. We made reservations for the VIP tables for about 10 people. The atmosphere was very nice. The band was excellent, enjoyed every song! The Food and drinks were great! , The service, lacked coordination and attention. After I realized I had more food than I would be able to finish I asked for a to-go- box and the server told me that they did not have any and offered me a piece of foil... I also asked for my check as well. More than 30 minutes passed without receiving either. I again requested my food to be wrapped and my check, again it was more than 30 minutes before I received the check and another 20 minutes before a server came by accepted my card and placed my food in foil and a plastic bag....Overall I feel it has the potential to be a great entertainment spot.

Great service. Great food. Great entertainment. Nate Adderley Jr was amazing. Thank you Richard Cuff and NASEMBA (Cora Lee Cuff Foundation). Awesome night out.

Awesome little venue. Eric Carter and group were terrific. Nice crowd. If you like jazz amd want a cool, romantic, place, this is it.
