I'm part of a Hawaiian Dance Group, so we decided to see the Hawaiian Musicians here. It's a nice small venue. Makes a great intimate concert environment. We were on the main floor. The sound and view were excellent! They have concessions, and an elevator for people who can't do the stairs. There were multiple opportunities to meet, greet, purchase CD's, get them autographed, and take photos. A Nice, Small place to have enjoy entertainment!

Last night we enjoyed the Blue Llama Jazz Club for the first time. We chose it for our restaurant week adventure (reservation recommended). WHAT a great choice! From the moment we were greeted by the hostess AND host and then seated at a table for two along the perimeter of the room for great viewing and listening of the Paul Keller quintet. Lovely nightclub atmosphere with starlight style ceiling. For the next 2 hours we were served an eight course tasting menu (i.e., tapas)(see photo) with every dish presentation more attractive than the next one. The flavors were amazing and creative and served by a super attentive staff and described so well by them when placed before us. This place is the best new restaurant - music establishment in our city. PS. It is expensive, but worth it for a special night out or morning (Sunday brunch is our next visit!!!) PPS Particular tapas/tastes that were great: salt roasted beet carpaccio, crispy foie gras pb&j, yucca gnocchi, grilled boneless berkshire ribs and orange blossom beignets.

We saw John Heffron tonight and he was hilarious. We had a nice dinner in one of the many restaurants within walking distance, then walked over just as doors were opening for the evening. We enjoyed drinks and popcorn, the two local comedians, and then the headliner. It was a lot of fun and we were laughing all the way home. Good venue, however, chairs are a little small and in the area near the stage are quite packed together, so if you're not a tiny little thing, which I am not, take that into consideration when reserving your seats for your own comfort. All in all a great experience. We will definitely go back!
