I had my first experience at Jazzeppi’s and I will not be returning. I’m a local but never knew this place was here. The first sign a place doesn’t have good food is when it’s dead! Hostess and our waiter were both nice but the food was bad. Crab cakes are frozen and fried and served on two different sauces (still not sure what the flavor was). I asked the waiter what he recommended and was told the Veal was the “best seller.” I felt he recommended it because it was expensive and he possibly thought I was a tourist. The dish was served with shrimp, some other seafood (maybe crawfish) and was heavily breaded, thick and tough. I told him I didn’t want shrimp and was looking for something that was their specialty. The pasta and sauce were no better than a store bought sauce. The server was heavy on the wine pour which I know most people wouldn’t complain about but I’m writing about my experience and some folks only want one glass of wine with dinner. The price for the meal did not fit the quality of the food or the lack of freshness and flavor. This seems to be a Jazzy bar spot for the older folks. If you want a delicious, authentic Italian meal, skip this place. If you want drinks and jazzy music with an older crowd that’s laid back, this...
Read moreWill not return. My husband and I ate dinner here last night. We have been here before but it had been years ago, so we thought we would try it out. I think it was probably one of the worst meals I've ever had. We started out sharing the oysters brochette which were over fried, extremely salty and were covered in a bland white sauce. My husband had a Caesar salad and he said he thought the greens were old. I had a house salad which did have a nice balsamic vinegar dressing. The bread basket was good except it had the same bland white sauce at the bottom of the basket (? not sure why). For my main course I had the special which was redfish in a "cream sauce". The SAME cream sauce that was on the oysters and bread. Husband had the bisque which also tasted like it was made with the SAME cream sauce. His main course was the veal Mattina which he felt was marginal and had the SAME cream sauce. We were both very disappointed in the quality of the food. And to top it off, approximately an hour after we got home I became ill and threw up my entire dinner. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the ambiance is very nice, and the...
Read moreMy boyfriend and I went here for Valentine’s Day & we’ll be back with my parents for my birthday dinner in a couple weeks!! The ambiance is perfect for first dates or 50th wedding anniversary it’s incredible. The soft candle lighting, soft jazzy piano bar style music & its eloquent seating for 2 or 20 I highly recommend dining here. The service was exquisite. Our server was a pleasure; warm , knowledgeable & over the top attentiveness. This has to be the locals little delicious secret . I have no idea why anyone would dine at the nearby casinos or anywhere in the area instead of Jazzeppi’s. The wrapped oyster appetizer is by far the most scrumptious oysters we’ve ever had . I’m from New Orleans & he’s from Mobile so we know oysters & if you want them cooked it should be as Jazzeppi’s does !! Bisque is phenomenal as was our pasta ! Kenyatta ( our server) was comforting & prompt ; a real delight. If you miss that Mom & Pop style dining experience embraced with sheer class & the feeling you are at a cherished loved one who’s a culinary mastermind you have to make a reservation at...
