I recently visited this incredible jazz club that exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was electric, and the food was exceptional. We enjoyed the Drizzy G cocktail, shared salmon/crab cakes, turkey sliders with truffle fries, and the standout dish, the yucca fries with an irresistible sauce—an absolute must have. The night was made unforgettable by the soulful performance of Kirk Bailey and his band, who created a magical experience. I'll definitely return, and if you're looking for a thrilling jazz club, this is the place to be!
Minton's Playhouse in Harlem is a vibrant spot where jazz history comes alive. The live performance was phenomenal, with talented musicians and an electric atmosphere that swept us up in the groove. The food was equally impressive, with a variety of delicious, well-prepared options at affordable prices. A special thanks to our waiter, Chandler, for his attentive and friendly service. Minton’s offers a perfect blend of great food, live jazz, and a welcoming vibe definitely a must-visit!
This great place with jazz atmosphere I strongly recommend. Vibes are great! Music is amazing. Everything is cleaned and well-organized. Food and drinks are really good.
A landmark positioned in the heart of Harlem connected to Cecil’s Steakhouse. We went there on an early (6pm) reservation and first Jazz show (7pm). Overall a great experience. Parking - As any typical NY establishment, parking on the street is next too impossible, however, there is a parking garage about a block away that was reasonable (surcharge for large SUVs). Nice 1 block walk amidst the brownstones and community. Reservations - We were guests of another party, but our reservation was for 6pm, and they advise they hold for 15 minutes. Due to traffic we got there 6:30 and was still okay. I personally think the earlier the better as it was not packed. Not sure about walk-in or takeout. Service was spectacular. Very fast and prompt service for drinks, clearing dishes, and delivery of food. Food is priced reasonable. The only thing we couldn’t do which was surprising, was substitute side dishes with our order, as they had an abundance of side options. The food was good, seasoned and cooked well. Dessert assortment was excellent, something for everyone (not just chocolate). Jazz show - The show started a little late, but it set the ambiance and atmosphere right. Although small, you cannot tell or feel it when your sitting down eating and enjoying music and fellowship. A definite return in the future. **Menus attached.
I really wanted to like this place. I love live jazz and supporting music played in person, especially as we get over the effects of the pandemic on live entertainment. Here’s my take on Minton’s. I was under the impression that this is a historic landmark and storied place. When you walk in, there’s really no evidence of this. The place is completely renovated and devoid of charm or elegance. I read in a NYT review that men should be encouraged to dress sharp.. but most were wearing casual clothing. It felt more like a cruise ship lounge than a historic venue for jazz music and fine food. We were also not told of a minimum purchase with each person- $40 per person PLUS an automatically added 20% gratuity and $20 added to support the musicians. I always tip 20% or more but I was not informed when making the reservation that there was a minimum. Our night for four people ended up being over $320 when we had a few appetizers and drinks. Absolutely a rip off and not okay to surprise a guest with these rules. Our party ate beforehand because we didn’t know about this rule. What’s more? The music was okay, but not exceptional. I’m not a professional, but it was clear that the group performing were good, but not out of the ordinary talented. Patrons were also talking loudly and taking videos/pictures during the performance that clearly got in the way for other guests. Management/Waitstaff should inform the audience to be respectful of others. I really wanted to like this place but between the rip-off minimum payment and cruise level entertainment atmosphere, this place is a no-go for me. Save your money. Try The Blue Note or another jazz spot for a true experience.
