This classic supper club boasts live performances every night, from Tuesday through Saturday. Bistro-style cuisine, prepared in the traditional French technique, with ingredients from all over the world, prepared with passion by our Executive Chef, Roshan Vermezyari.

Our beautiful main stage is home to "Red Pops" - a gorgeous red Steinway baby grand piano - meticulously maintained. There is a cover charge for performances on all of our stages, except our Piano Bar performances on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5 to 7, which are free of charge.

Our 3rd-floor Event Space is available for your next corporate or private event. Equipped with another stage and a full bar, the "Jazz Cellar" has an outdoor area that is licensed for 45 guests (closed in the winter), and an indoor area that holds 55 comfortably, year-round. It's the perfect downtown location for your next event!

Fabulous place to spend the evening or enjoy pre-show (Massey Hall or Mirvish patrons get a discount on the cover charge). Nice menu, reasonable prices and great music.

Really enjoyed the Jazz Performance. It took around 30 minutes before we hailed down the waiter to take out order. The food was absolutely delicious nice presentation and good temperature. The service was awful waiter asked us if we were sharing the salad we said yes came in a bowl with 2 small bread plates. Salad kept on falling off these tiny plates. Waiter should have come buy to ask us if we wanted ground pepper on ceasar salad but he didn’t and couldn’t find him to ask. No water refill. I asked to substitute fingerling potatoes with flatiron steak and told him i which vegetable i was allergic to. he said no mushroom on plate. main course only came with fries no veggies. he didn’t tell me it was either or Again the food was so tasty I will come back

We ordered a charcuterie board since we had already eaten dinner elsewhere, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. However, I do think the overall quality of the food could be improved. The night was fantastic, though, thanks to the live jazz and the beautiful venue!

My wife and I are jazz lovers and decided to spend our 22nd anniversary evening at The Jazz Bistro. Since we weren't planning to eat there, we booked a "high top" table which I assumed meant a "Bar height" table (maybe in the bar area). Apparently at The Jazz Bistro it means a regular height table on a raised floor area. The table was cramped and the view of the band was obscured somewhat. Not what we expected. However, when we asked Stephan, our waiter, if we could move to a couple of seats at the bar, he worked with the hostess to accommodate us immediately. Nice! We had comfortable roomy seats, a great view of the band and Seamus,the bartender was attentive, energetic and actually quite entertaining himself. All in all, we enjoyed our visit and plan to return in the future. I thought the $20/pp cover was a bit excessive but hey, that's life in the big city I guess.
