Dalston

About the restaurant

“A stones throw away from Dalston Kingsland Station you will find The Dalston Jazz Bar. It’s a full on restaurant up until 10 PM. They serve an array of fresh seafood as well as yummy beer from a local brewery and cocktails. The live band plays throughout the night with a few breaks. After 10 PM they clear all tables and chairs to create a dance floor and this place then really starts to rock! We don't do vegan or vegetarian food. We specialize in fish. Tuesdays are our LGBTQ night, but everyone is welcome. Tuesdays will now feature live jazz bands."

The staff made the evening unforgettable for my wife and me. We were celebrating her birthday, and their attentiveness and excellent service throughout the night truly stood out. The food was fantastic as well—absolutely faultless! Overall, it was an amazing experience. We can’t wait to come back!

About the restaurant

28°-50° by Night brings the same sophisticated yet relaxed approach to wine and food which is characteristic of 28°-50°, but with a twist. Live jazz and blues music sets the ambiance as you dine from our seasonal modern European A La Carte menu which is served until 1am. Our in-house team of passionate sommeliers are always on hand to help pair your meal with our exquisite wine list. 28°-50° by Night offers an intimate underground atmosphere which, paired with the live band, evokes a sense of decadence reminiscent of the 1920s jazz scene. If you fancy dipping away from the stir of modern city life for a relaxed night of great food, wine and music, our friendly staff are ready to welcome you.

Raymond was the highlight of the night for us. What a top class waiter (maybe he’s the manager as he acts on this level). He easily charged our table for my elderly mother and took her by the arm/hand to walk her to the table as she has slight mobility problems. He’s service is better than staff at the Ivy restaurants and he is a true asset to the restaurant. Helena was also amazing and also took care of my mother during bathroom trips. Overall the service staff went far above and beyond excellent service.

We were a party of 9 and were well looked through the evening. Our host Maria was exceptional and made sure we had the right gap between courses. The food was very good and very reasonable in price. Would certainly go there again.

Very enjoyable lunch, menu possibly a bit limited, but excellent quality. Friendly and helpful staff, pleasant ambience and good value. Can imagine the live performance evening nights will be vibrant and hugely enjoyable, good luck to Soul Mama, a positive venue!
