We had the pleasure of meeting up with our friends, the Choiniere’s this Friday with tickets to The Jewell, a jazz club in the downtown Marriott. We booked the early show as they have 2 a night and before the show, we had dinner there.
The menu is limited and pricey, I had a $18.00 hamburger and Brenda had a $10 slider appetizer for dinner. That, paired with a beer and 2 drinks and a very pricey charcuterie appetizer (cheese was extra) came to a whopping $100.00 plus $20 tip and the cost of the show, $10 for each of us.
The service was great but the food was just okay and the jazz was rocking although not exactly our style of music. The set lasted about 45 minutes to an hour and we were back on the street by 9 pm.
I think this place has great potential but we are still scratching our heads about the bill, it just did not add up. Perhaps just drinks next time but the cocktails ranged from $10 to $14. Domestic beer was $7 and wine was $10-14 dollars a pour. If dinner was a bit more affordable we would like to do this more often. They have some great acts in the queue so perhaps just drinks and an appetizer?
