Went for mothers day brunch which was supposed to begin at 11am. They were not set up at all for the buffet--ok since we were early. We had to ask for glasses of water. At 1130, they were still unorganized with foil still covering pans on steam table, no tongs to pick up pastries or fruit, never saw the coffee after checking multiple times. The shrimp and grits was so heavy my plastic (!) plate cracked. The mini quiches tasted like an accident they were so salty. $22 per person for what amounted on my plate to those little frozen cream puff pastries. I have never been there before so maybe it was an off day but I probably wont go back. In their defense the gentleman who was the manager maybe was nice and the pianist was a nice touch.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful evening at How Art Thou tonight! The mixologist crafted my husband a fantastic cocktail that matched the era of the jazz band playing tonight. I asked for something with bubbles, dealers choice, and he brought me a bright and delicious Prosecco. So classy yet relaxed, and such a romantic atmosphere! They also recently updated their menu to offer, not just tapas, but full entrees as well. We didnt partake tonight because we just came for jazz and cocktails, but were planning on coming back soon to test those out!

Took a while for service. Not the waitresses fault though as there was only 1 person working the tables. Drinks were on the high side of reasonable. Got there at the tail end of happy hour. They did have some good happy hour (4-7) specials. The meat and cheese plate we ordered was over priced and didnt come with the accompaniments that other locations would offer (had them, but would be extra). Jazz band (or blues) was playing. That made it a great atmosphere with authentic feel.

Walked in on a Friday night at about 6:30. Not one patron in the place. Stood there for 5 minutes before either of the bartenders acknowledged our existence. They told us to sit anywhere. While we were pursuing the menu they were cursing and just being unprofessional. Menu looked promising but the food was awful. Its the first time in 20 years I have not gotten a to-go box for the leftovers. I would not recommend this place.

Besides the fun jazz, thanks to great service, this “hungry guy” still enjoyed the evening. ...When I arrived—hoping to order a meal—I learned the new kitchen hours close earlier now. However, maître d Annie took the initiative to offer me some cheesecake; which was yummy. So, thanks to Annie, this customer got to have his cake and eat it too… I’ll be back!

Amazing jewel on Maynank Hwy!! Oscar Rivers is amazing in his band and Cat sings their many Saturdays. She is an incredible singer and can really make you enjoy Jazz!! Fine wine selection and amazing food!

The waiter was rude and is it just me or is the food expensive for nothing. He never tried to refill our drinks. Felt like I paid 30 bucks for two snacks. Only thing good was the music. Never again.

Friendly and attentive staff, excellent wine list, and very good menu. Visit a couple of times and the staff remembers your name and favorite drink order.
