What an unforgettable night! Jazz Tastings offers the perfect blend of great food, amazing drinks, and top-tier entertainment. 'Fish and Grits' is a local band with incredible range, seamlessly mixing R&B and soft rock to create an electric atmosphere. It’s always a thrill to discover hidden gems like this. Our favorite dishes of the night were the Chilean sea bass entree and the vegetarian truffle mushroom pasta. Specialty cocktails of choice were Purple Reign and JT Old Fashion.

5 Stars – A Hidden Gem for Food & Music Lovers! What an incredible experience at Jazz Tasting in Maitland, FL! From start to finish, everything was delicious—the 3-course meal was packed with flavor and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was just as impressive. For under 100 per person, you get not only a gourmet dining experience but also live entertainment that truly sets the mood. The band was phenomenal, playing a wide range of genres that had something for everyone—whether you're into smooth jazz, soul, or a little funk. It’s the perfect spot for a birthday, anniversary, date night, or just celebrating life. I’m so glad I found this gem—I'll definitely be back soon!

We went last year in March, and I forgot to make a review. We went for an anniversary. The food and atmosphere were great for the night. The music for the night was great as well. There was a reservation charge for the night and a minimum spend, but it wasn't an issue for us. We haven't been able to make it back out since last year, but we do recommend it.

If you’re ever in Orlando, this place is nice one to add to your itinerary. This place is only about twenty minutes from Orlando’s tourist attractions. This was my second visit. The first time I was here, there was a Jazz band that was very good. Fast forward to recently, they have renovated the place and it looks bigger. The food and atmosphere was. On this visit, the band and artists that performed was a singer by the name of Jai Eagle. Please look him up on social media. His show did not disappoint. He was incredible. Had folks on the floor dancing in the venue. The food and drinks were delicious. The short rib with spinach melts in your mouth. Super pleased with this place. If you’re looking for a great date night while on vacation, this is the spot.

I had an excellent time at Jazz Tasting! We were very lucky because at the time we showed up there were only two spots open! We sat next to the stage, which you would think would be a bad seat, but we had the time of our lives seeing the joy of the keyboardist. On this evening, The Franchise Players were performing and the range of this band was astonishing! They went from classical Jazz to covers of Earth, Wind & Fire, Marc Anthony, James Brown, Bruno Mars and 2Pac, to name a few! Oof! They gave us a show! The service was excellent! Christopher was attentive, kind and never lost the smile on his face. We asked him for food recommendations and he did not steer us off! The Norwegian Salmon, Braised Short Rib and Crab Cake were incredible! Our plates were clean when we were done eating. The presentation of the plates was also beautiful! The place is small and reservations fill out quickly, then it becomes first come, first serve. But the vibes are perfect. People stroll in and out between sets, so don’t feel discouraged if you have to wait a bit. I will say, things do get pricey during the weekend. There’s a cover charge of 10/person, a minimum spend of 50/person and an implemented gratuity of 20%, regardless of party size. Definitely something to do on special occasions or for those date nights you want to splurge on a little. All in all, 10/10 experience for me and I will be highly recommending!

This place was so much fun! It was my first time (Thursday night) and it was much busier than I thought it would be! I got the salmon sandwich and it was delicious. The singer Noeli was fantastic. The food is a little pricey but I imagine that is to help cover the entertainment cost as well so it was worth it overall. My group of 6 enjoyed their food and the entertainment as well. Very lively vibe, singing and dancing and enjoying the upscale atmosphere. I would recommend going on a weekday if you want to save money because the minimum spend and some of the available menu options are cheaper Tuesday-Thursday. My only complaint would be that the service was kinda slow. Waitress was nice though and informed us that the bar was running behind. I think maybe they were busier than they anticipated and were short staffed that night. Also it was very difficult to find parking. I kind of had to make my own space because there was none available lol. But it was busy for a reason because this place was awesome, I’m looking forward to my next visit!

This place was SUCH A VIBE!! Dayve Stewart and his band mates were PHENOMENAL. Our seating location was perfect, the food was superb and our server was super kind and attentive. She explained the offerings in detail and made sure we had everything we needed. I made sure to budget for this experience. We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday and I wanted to make sure we were financially prepared. I did like that they did incorporate the gratuity in the final balance, I didn’t have to do any math at the end of the night :). If you want great live music experience with some really good food, this is it.
