One thing that never fails in this place is amazing food and great music. Yes sometimes they can be busy and the service might slack a bit but that's expected when it gets so freaking packed! I have never experienced anything so terrible that would keep me from coming back for the delicious tenderloin tops and amazing cheese plate!

As a tourist visiting Savannah for the 1st time, I'm disappointed that I even suggested to my friends that we have dinner here. I'm shocked that this place has 4 stars??!! And what was most disappointing and spoiled my appetite were the whiffs of smelly cheese at every turn. There was seriously no escaping the stench. On to the dishes: We got the "Tapas for Two" for $60 option, which came with choice of soup/salad, 4 tapas to share, beverage, and dessert...which sounds like a deal, but is seriously not. We chose the scallops (the only decent plate of the night), beef satay (supposedly this is a popular dish, but was majorly lacking in flavor with no trace of peanut or ginger), and got two of the seafood paella (pretty standard and lacked seasoning). I got the chocolate fudge cake for dessert, which was VERY rich and heavy. My friends tried other tapas, which I don't recall, but I do remember that each dish was covered with layers of cheese! The only salvageable part of this restaurant (hence, two stars) was the laid-back, cool, hipster ambience with unique colorful paintings and lighting, in addition to the live music (the musician playing that night was wonderful). Our waitress was also very attentive despite this place getting busy after 8pm. I'm sure this place is awesome for happy hour, but unfortunately my dinner experience suffered from the cheesy, subpar food.

Hubby and I came here twice on our Savannah anniversary weekend. Friday night we enjoyed drinks and dessert while watching a fantastic blues band. The food on Saturday night was delicious!! More great drinks. The only draw back were the truly uncomfortable chairs. Ruined the feel. Hope when we visit again next vaca that they figure out that last piece to perfection.

2 stars = Did not meet my expectations We stopped by here on Sunday night for a drink before our dinner reservations at another restaurant later that night. The bartender was friendly and made an exceptional vodka martini. We decided to come back the following night to have dinner. We ordered the tapas for 2. Of the two salads one was not well dressed and the other was too dressed. I ordered the potato fritada and the lamb chops. The fritada was great. The lamb was the chewiest I have ever eaten. My wife ordered a shrimp and grits dish and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The beef tips sauteed in a blue cheese type sauce was pretty good too. I struggled with making this a 2 instead of a 3 but in light of the high expectations I had prior and the price of the food, I did leave disappointed. It would be worth a second visit in order to give them a second chance.

This is an awesome tapas bar that never disappoints when we are visiting savannah. Great Tapas to share and the atmosphere is wonderful. The bar has great drinks and the bartenders are very attentive to their costumers. This is a routine stop when we are in town. A must try for people visiting.

This is not your regular "European-like" tapas. The portions are bigger than usual. The food was good. We ordered a total of five tapas and we got a mix of good and "okay" ones. The drinks were great. The live music, AMAZING! They had a guy singing and he was awesome. So if you want a romantic light dinner (or an outing with friends), with a good ambiance and service, great jazz music, and decent food, this is your place.

Still not sure what we spent $60 on when we ordered the tapas for two option on the menu. Four tapas of our choice came out and they were very mediocre. The recipes/preparation/flavor had nothing to do w/ Spanish tapas whatsoever...the food at Jazz'd is very American and not overly good American. Overall I felt that I could have made a much better meal at home myself w/ very little effort. They took lackluster ingredients and smothered everything in a thick coat of cheese - not for flavor enhancement, but, to smother/cover. Some of the dishes didn't make any sense - the leek/potatoe frittata was swimming in some sort of munster or mild mozzarella melt and then they served it with a huge wedge of cream cheese (the kind you put on bagles). This made no sense - I have no idea what they wanted me to do w/ that cream cheese. The dish was supposed to be served w/ fig chutney but there was no fig chutney avail. to cut through the overwhelming flavors of all that cheese. Instead, there was a couple bits of cubed dried fig w/ very little flavor. Every dish came w/ lots of garlic bread too - it seemed as if they were covering up for lack of quality ingredients (sparse meat and few vegetables) w/ all that garlic bread. Again, we spent $60 and this was on four mediocre tapas + soup or salad + dessert (each option was too sickly sweet). We didn't even have wine/cocktails. Service was fair/average, ambience was fair/good (nice live music), but, overall, I wouldn't return. There's so many really good restaurants here in Savannah and Jazz'd really isn't one of them.

Did not love the decor or the tables, but the food was solid. Lasagna, beef skewer, lettuce wrap tacos and artichoke dip. I'd get a whole tray of the lasagna and serve it to the family. Server was excited to be there and share info about the menu. Live music was a huge bonus on the Friday night that we stopped by. The portion sizes are good for tapas style. You're probably good ordering 2 per person for something that would constitute a meal for most. We had four and needed to take a brown bag home.

Cool place with good music and very good food and cocktails. One man jazz singer/musician the night I was there, and a wonderful martini and shrimp and grits. I'll be back.

We got to Jazz'd for a dinner around 6 p.m.; the restaurant was fairly empty, and the host stand was deserted. We waited for a few minutes before a couple of staff came to greet us and then started whispering to each other about how the rest of the staff needed to stop standing around outside smoking and start working. Awkward. Our server started out great, but as the restaurant and bar began to fill up, it seemed as though he was overwhelmed, and there didn't seem to be enough servers to handle the volume. Among the four of us, we ordered quite a few tapas: the baked cheese terracotta plate, which we ordered on a whim, was to die for, as was the martini marinated tenderloin tips! Oddly enough, the cuban rubbed beef satays I was SO excited about were just okay. By the time we left, the place was packed.

Warm, chill atmosphere, great art on the walls, live music sometimes. We had the most professional and coolest server I've had in a long time! And a really excellent by the glass Chardonnay. The tapas are a little larger than usual, which is nice. Southern Fusion - what else in Savannah! I would have preferred to see more offerings, and some a more true Spanish flair, but that's just my taste. Great Savannah spot!

I posted this review on 9/1/13. I noted RUDE SERVICE AT THE BAR. Interestingly enough, my post is no longer on the restaurant... maybe the management can selectively remove negative comments if they don't like what they see. I came in for dinner and intended to order at the bar as opposed to waiting for the table for 40+ minutes; however, after about 20 minutes at the bar, all i had was a glass of water and couldn't get anyone's attention. I held up my menu and still nothing. Then I waved the menu to catch the bartender's attention, and guess what... he told me to "zip it"... really? I suppose my $100 wasn't green enough for this place. I spent a wonder evening in one of the other fine restaaurants in Savannah. no need to be treated bady by a mouthy, rude wait staff at the BAR. maybe the table wait staff are better trained than the bartenders, but hey.. i'll never know. This place was incredibly RUDE. Run. Go elsewhere. You deserve to be treated better for the money this place is going to cost you.

The food and atmosphere were very good. The fish tacos and cheese in terra cotta were our favorites. The crab cakes, though good, were nothing special. The jalapeÃ±o shrimp and grits were substituted with another recipe more garlicky. The tapas for two menu is far too much food for two. The bread pudding is unusual and outstanding!

Jazz'd for me wins for bariatric patients in Savannah. A great meal in great portions not to overwhelming and a great atmosphere. Overall 5 stars from me. Shannon our waitress was on point and super friendly and helpful. My wife and I had a great 9th anniversary at this Tapas Restaurant.

Went to Jazz'd for the live music and left satisfied. Had a delicious melted cheese platter. Our server needed to relax a bit. Eating and drinking here felt too rushed, like we were back home in a NYC Tapas bar.

Whenever my husband and I travel, we often like to try out local tapas spots. This place was mentioned a few times so we were up for it. Right in the middle of downtown Savannah, this place is located below street level. We were there during happy hour on Tuesday and the place was dead. We sat in the bar for happy hour but it only consisted of a few dollars off drinks. Although the decor seemed a bit dated and cold, the menu looked very promising. There were a number of plates that looked delicious but that is where it ended. We had the baked goat cheese in a tomato sauce with garlic toast (decent/okay), paella (okay) and the shrimp and grits plate that had a gravy like sauce (disappointing). For 3 apps and 3 drinks, we spent about $60 with tip. Not worth it....

Nice place, nice music, friendly people. Tapas were perfect for a light dinner. My salad had a little bit too much dressing, but hat is probably a feature of the US not exclusive to this restaurant (I forgot to ask for it in the side). The lettuce chicken tacos were delicious. We enjoyed it!

This is a nice little spot for a few drinks and live jazz, but the food left a bit to be desired. I had the French Onion Soup and the Mussels... decent but mediocre. Nothing to write home about. Customer service was good. What I did enjoy most about this venue was the ambiance, lighting, and the music.

Dylan S.

The food was good, and comfortable atmosphere. I really enjoyed it for my brothers 25th birthday up until 10 o'clock. Unfortunately I'm 20 and was going to be their designated driver and the establishments "rule" is no one under 21 is allowed after 10. So it kinda sucks that I had already ordered food and was enjoying time with my brother while I could, then to get told to leave was a huge downer. I don't think I will EVER goto this place whenever I'm 21 in 5 months! C'mon people.

I love topless bars, I mean tapas (tah-pahs) bars. We were visiting Savannah and saw Jazz'd in ads, walking down the street, so...we decided this would be a good place to have our friends meet up with us. It turned out just perfect. Good food, good wine, good tapas, good live music, and great company. There were four of us and each couple got the "Tapas for Two" deal, 60 bucks include soup or salad, 4 tapas, dessert and soft drink/coffee. Such a deal. The Menu was fabulous and unfortunately, we couldn't taste everything on the list. Guess we will just have to come back soooon, but not soon enough. Hubbie and I ordered: Soup: He - Black bean soup Me - Five Onion Soup - Better than French onion! This one has 5 different onions, french baguette, Gruyere and Asiago cheese. YUM Tapas: Cuban rubbed beef satay - 4 skewers! Now that is more that tapas. Pretty big portion. It was seasoned very nicely. a bit of spice, tender beef. Lovely. Chorizo stuffed Mushrooms - stuffed with smokey chorizo, spinach, goat cheese, leeks and topped with provolone, oven baked. Juicy and full of flavors. Seafood Paella - a medley of shrimp, Prince Edward mussels, chorizo, simmered in white wine and saffron sauce - very lite and fluffy, yet filling. Garlic and Basil Shrimp n' Grits - Grilled shrimp on a bed of creamy stone ground grits with tomato bouillabaisse. Drinkie Drink: Penfolds Thomas Hyland Syrah - full flavors of juicy red plums, dark berry and chocolate. Dessert: Creme Brulee and Bread Pudding - both were excellent. HUGE portions, again... Service - Impeccable. Wonderful. Flawless. Live Music - Best I have heard in a long time. Eddie Wilson, pianist/singer. He jazzed up "sweet child of mine". He did good. onstagemusic.com/eddiewiâ€¦ We were very full and happy by the end of the nite...

The white sangria was refreshing and extremely good. The food was excellent. There was four of us and we were able to taste several dishes. All were fabulous. The atmosphere and service was first class.

Amazing food! Not your typical low country fare, so if that's what you're looking or this is your first night in town this isn't really the place. But man if you want some good food, this is the place!! Amazing tapas!! I will definitely come here next time. Perfect portions for sharing not being too full to walk around town.

I just got over a long period of diarrhea and vomiting after eating at Jazzd. This caused our trip to Savannah to be cut short which was also my honeymoon. The worst part was that the management and owner were very uncooperative and took no responsibility for what had occurred. The only response we got was it couldn't be our food it has to be something else. This doesn't make sense since we both had the tapas for two and both got sick at the exact same time. Since, this isn't the first post about poor customer service it must be commonplace. I will say that I liked the atmosphere, but obviously I was unsatisfied.

Stopped here with my boyfriend for a light dinner and cocktails. We really enjoyed our meal. The place was rather empty for the dinner hour so that was surprising. We ordered the cheese plate, five onion soup, bruschetta, prosciutto spaetzle, and fish tacos. We really had no complaints with any of it. Everything tastes fresh and well seasoned. For a tapas bar the portions were extemely generous. Bartender was friendly. The hostess was a tad rude to my boyfriend. He had walked in with a sweet tea from a previous store, he didn't really even think about it and she very coldy told him we couldn't come in until it was gone. I feel she could've said it in a more tactful way. The decor was so/so. They had some nice art work and also with all of the steel in there it had a sort of industrial feel. Kind of seemed to me that they had 2 different themes competing. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed the place and when we come back to Savannah we will probably stop there again!

Started off with a dirty blue cheesed stuffed olive martini....bartender made a great one. Service was great!! Tapas portions were huge. You pay more, but they are dinner sized. My fish tacos were fantastic!!

This place was fantastic! I called at 630pm on a Saturday night to see if they could seat my group of 8 within an hour or so. Almost impossible request, but they came through! When we got to the restaurant, we were seated right away. There was a fantastic band playing and the restaurant was crowded. I think my group managed to eat almost everything on the menu and it was all amazing! The highlights for me were definitely the chorizo sliders and the bread pudding. Our server, Tyler, did a great job and was very helpful and attentive. We definitely had a great time and are looking forward to going back!

Jazz'd was among the list of great "date night" restaurants recommended by Trip Advisor and the reviews on Yelp suggested it was a good place to try, so my boyfriend and I headed there on our recent stay in Savannah. We had a fine evening - not stellar, but absolutely fine. We both enjoyed the live music; the food, on the other hand, was so-so. We decided to go with the Tapas for Two option, which includes two salads or soups, four tapas, and two desserts for just $60. I had the Caesar salad, which was rather plain (two stars). I then tried the hot spinach dip, which was awful (one star, if that). However, the mussels provencal were quite tasty - I didn't have any bread to dip (none was provided), nor did I have a bowl for my shells (again, none provided), but I still managed to consume all of the broth, which I truly enjoyed. Dessert, on the other hand, was quite a disappointment for me. I opted for the flourless chocolate cake on a graham cracker crust and it was much too rich. I love chocolate, but every girl has her limit! Again, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The decor was nothing special. However, we really enjoyed the entertainment, and ate three courses for a moderate $60, so Jazz'd gets two stars.

This place is awesome! Great atmosphere (music may be a bit loud), service, and food. Hummus, Spinich Dip, Onion Soup, Irish Stew, Ribs, ALL excellent. I brought my mom and her best friend and they absolutely loved it. Will definitely recoemmend and be back!

First tapas bar for my wife and I, and boy did we choose right! This place is just awesome to say the least. The coctails are flowing, live music to enjoy, and with a first-rate menu. We went for the Tapas for Two selection which provides for 2ea soup/salad, and 4 tapas to share plus 2 desserts. Lets just say that we we absolutely stuffed before we left; completely satisfied. Unfortunately the do not take reservations for parties of 2, so come early b/c there can be a lengthy wait. But hey, more time to enjoy some coctails and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Cheers!

This place is a tourist trap. I can't comment on the live music since we arrived and left before it began, but the sangria had no booze in it and the she crab soup was pretty much just cream, potato, and lots of little bits of crab shell. There are tons of great restaurants in Savannah. I would highly recommend skipping this one.

The atmosphere was nice, and the service was good. The food was bland, and lacking creativity. My wife and I shared the Tapas for Two meal, which came with soup or salad, two tapas apiece and two deserts. Nothing was awful, but nothing was great either. The steak was under seasoned, the creme brÃ»lÃ©e was tasteless, and the crap soup lacked any crab and came out lukewarm. The highlight, and I use that term loosely, was the seafood paella.

My girlfriend and I ate here on our last visit to Savannah. The atmosphere is cool, the food is just ok. I might go back again...I might not. We spent about $50-$60 and I left hungry.

Food was good, service was great. We had Michelle. Although we were seated directly in front of the band, Michelle made sure she could hear our orders. She kept our drinks filled and brought out everything within a timely manner (salads, two tapas, two more tapas, desserts). She was awesome. The band was good, too. The only downside, and this is in no part the restaurant's fault, was a drunk, underdressed middle-aged woman dancing around the bar. She did provide us some extra entertainment, though! I would definitely return.

Great place for a date night! We thought it would be good to get the special where you start off with a salad, get some food in between, and end it with dessert. We were stuffed! Such an awesome variety of food as well. Can't wait to go back!

Meredith K.

To be honest, not much to recommend the place. The decor is terrible... It's cold, disjointed and dark. In terms of the food. Almost everything we had was overspiced. We had the lettuce wraps, which were sautÃ©ed bits of pre packaged, pre cooked chicken. The empanadas didn't have chorizo in them but were so spicy that we only ate one of the three plated. The highlight of the meal was the bread pudding dessert, which was actually pretty good. Overall the food was unbalanced and presented poorly. Even great music does not make up for bad food!

Julia D.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Its a must every time I'm in Savannah. The cheese plate with roasted garlic is OUT OF THIS WORLD. There is usually live music and good crowd. Lots of fun, getting hungry just thinking about it. It does get pretty crowded on the weekend, I made the mistake of trying to just walk in on a Friday night, we had an hr wait. But didn't mind because the bar is good so was the band.

Nemo L.

When I lived in Savannah, I came here more often than my wallet preferred, but it was worth it! The "Tapas For Two" at the bottom of the menu was always the best buy, including two soups/salads, four tapas, two desserts, and drinks and coffee. My absolute favourites were: the she-crab stew, shrimp fritters (my mouth is watering...), rosemary lamb chops, Greek salad, and the terra cotta cheese plate. Mm! The wait staff was always fantastic, and the live jazz music couldn't be beat. From the paintings to the black porcelain in the bathroom, this place had its look and feel down. If you're going on a date and want something a little different than the other home cookin' restaurants in the area, choose Jazz'd.

Cool place but a little disappointed with the music. We went early for a cocktail & appetizer. We enjoyed the shrimp fritters and would go back next time we are in town but probably not for dinner - the drink and app worked out well.

Hi, I'm 1990 and I want my decor back. Not say the decor makes or break a place but it was just odd considering the way the try to market the place. Food was just eehhh... Shrimp with grits-yes Stuffed mushrooms-no Paella-Seafood was good but rice was bad-no Lambchops-Chops were good but came with shreds of green onion that were over grilled that made them look and taste like blades of dead summer grass-maybe French onion soup-yes The place isn't bad but don't go out of your way to try it.

Ashleigh H.

Nice music, very disappointing food. We had the black bean soup (sent it back due to being inedibly over seasoned) replaced by the five onion soup. The caprese was actually good, not awesome but I've had worse. Seafood paella = seafood rice a roni sesame tuna - not bad, cooked stuffed flounder - boring beef shoulder tender - the waiter told us this is his favorite thing in the world. This was the last to arrive so maybe I had already formed a negative opinion of the food, but I really wasn't impressed other than the potatoes au gratin under the beef. I would go back to hang out but not to eat

A happening place. They print money. Five stars for the mussles. Five stars for the shrimp and grits. My wife hates grits, she Eat more than I did. Lettuce wraps were very good. Had'em the second nite, great. So was the mussels. Great minitini happy hour. $4 minitini's. Ahhhhh.

Awesome atmosphere to listen to live music. Order several tapas to share. The escargot was awesome but the calamari was a bit oily at the bottom of the dish. This place is trendy, modern, and hip. They have beer but I had the impression this is more of a wine and martini place. Great location in the heart of downtown.

By far the best food provided in Savannah! Nice presentation, decent prices... Highly recommended.

We only had drinks and appetizers, but we were both impressed. I love crab cakes but unfortunately have had more bad ones than I care to remember. These were spot on - luscious with crab and not much else, nicely seasoned, pan-fried to a golden brown and served with a lovely remoulade sauce. BF had the shrimp fritters and I think I caught him about to lick his plate - lol. The music was not much to write home about the night we visited, but it was great to find a place right in town with live music and decent food. We'd both recommend this as a stop while in Savannah!

My family of 5 ate here. I was expecting a Spanish cuisine filled with new and interesting dishes. Unfortunately it is more like American cuisine style Tapas. We still enjoyed the food and the whole experience. It was a lot of fun.

Super trendy spot in the heart of Savannah and located under the street which is kinda cool. Before going I had heard from the locals there's always music and the food was top notch so I knew it would be a spot I would like. I was right. Great tapas food and the music was great as well. One thing to be aware of is that depending on where you are seated it will be loud! Good service and bright, lively interiors really made the meal more of an experience which is always a good thing. Will certainly be a repeat customer for sure.

Love love Jazz'd Tapas Bar. No they don't always play jazz here. When I was there it was live music but a mix of different types. I came here with the boyfriend and we did the Tapas for Two. YUM!!! They were out of the lamb lollipops (bummer!) but that forced us to try new things. Everything we had here was fantastic from the soup to the wraps and dessert. I cant recommend this place enough! Service was fast and efficient. Will definitely be back!!!

Sometimes you just get the itch for eclectic jazz music in a basement lounge adorned with track lighting and industrial metal flare....ok you probably don't, but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it! I stumbled across the Jazz'd Tapas Bar during a busy Labor Day weekend and found it pleasantly crowded but not packed. The wave shaped bar was intriguing and the chairs were spaced far enough apart that people coming up just to order drinks didn't have to lean over other patrons to receive their drinks. The bartender mixed me one of the best mojitos I've had in the south - secretly adding a splash of sprite to bridge the gap between the simple syrup and club soda. The liquor lineup is truly impressive, featuring a wide spectrum of all the major families - they even have Johnny Walker Blue for the whisky drinkers with expensive taste. The hummus was above standard and their special for the evening, pan fried scallops in cornmeal, took the traditional dish to a new level with its tomato soubise and alfalfa sprouts -- a truly satisfying dish but a bit pricey for the single traveler. If you're with an even number of people I'd recommend ordering the Tapas for Two at the bottom of the menu which gets you the most for your green.

Dipping into Savannah for an hour was definitely better than dinner on-the-road at McDonalds. I'll attribute that almost entirely to Jazz'd. We chose it based solely on Yelp reviews (always reliable, even in The South) and it didn't disappoint. Thanks, Yelp! The food was excellent. I love tapas, because I don't have to be picky about my orders. I get to have everything that sounds good. Gorge yourself on the menu - it is divine - but save room for the bread pudding. Hot damn. The music was great, but the acoustics could use some work. The raw basement decor leaves a challenging echo. I had trouble hearing my dining partner, which isn't what you want. If they can tone it down just a notch I think this place would be perfect.

Eric S.

One of the better spots in Savannah. Jazz'd is a little on the pricey side for what it's worth, but you don't need to order that much. Supposedly, this is a tapas place, but most of them are entree size if you are a reasonable eater. The drinks were average...and the music was cheesy the night we went. Decent date night spot.

Ava A.

Loved it. A date night classic. The ambience, the service, the music, the food and most of all the drinks. A more mature crowd was in attendance on the night we went, much to our delight. **Getting a table would have taken about an hour so we sat at the bar. It felt nice to go out, sit at a bar, have a good drink and some fantastic food without the pushing, shoving and bar-fighting breaking out which is typical for a lot of these Savannah haunts. The place is very clean, very modern and you can dress up or down without feeling like a fish out of water. The music was live but not overwhelming so I could still have a little witty repartee with my date. The drinks are a bit pricey but it is stiff enough that I didn't mind. The highlight of the night was that crab cake which is on my top three ever. If you have seen "once upon a time in Mexico" you know, Johnny Deep shoots the cook because the dish was too GOOD. That is how I felt about my crab cake. That good. I have to say I will be back, if only to check on the consistency of that magical crab cake.

Just ate there tonight. Warning: LARGE PORTIONS FOR A TAPAS PLACE. My boyfriend and I like tapas, and we regularly go to a couple places in our current city (Cincinnati). So we thought we knew what to expect. Well, the waiter (who was very nice and attentive, contrary to what some other reviewers experienced) did try to warn us. He recommended 2 tapas plates per person (as an ordering guide -- obviously we would share them all). Well, we didn't listen. We went for the Tapas for Two options, which is soup/salad, 4 tapas plates to share, and dessert. We were STUFFED after 2 tapas plates, to the point that I actually asked if it was too late to cancel the rest of the meal and just pay. (It was. :\ We took leftovers back to our hotel and now we probably won't go to Lady and Sons for brunch tomorrow. Argh.) Our soups and calamari were good (again contrary to what some reviewers experienced) and the cheese plate was DIVINE. (Thanks for the recco on that one, Yelp peeps!) The rest we're eating as leftovers, like I said, so I can't exactly rate that... :P Yes, it's a bit pricey, but like I said, the servings are very "healthy," particularly for tapas. Also, we went in around 6 pm on a Saturday night and had no wait. (Again, contrary to what some reviewers experienced -- I'm thinking Jazz'd gets a different crowd later in the evening?) Anyway, I'd definitely go back if I were ever in Savannah again, but I'd be a LOT smarter about how/what I ordered.

Great tapas! Usually have some live music. Very lively place, local artwork on the wall. Everything we tried was delicious and I'm still thinking about that piece of chocolate torte...

Shireen B.

Okay---I enjoy Jazz'd a lot. A LOT. Let me tell you why...it mixes three interesting concepts...Old Southern Jazz (starts at 9-9:30pm on weekends and its DAMN good), New Age Cuisine, and the Tapas concept--small plates to share. This is not a Spanish Restaurant, so you had me laughing if that was your complaint/ review. Cherve Cheese and Spicy Tomato Dip...delicious if you love Goat Cheese. Pulled Chicken Quesadilla--Wow, marinated overnight, the chicken is delicious. Crab Cakes--Very meaty and flavorful. Not my favorite crabcake, but good. It's not just the food here...it's the ambiance-- the romance or the sexy, friendly vibe. It's the service--fun and accomodating. It's the theme--Jazz. Don't be so picky to read into it--it is what it is---- GOOD. hehe Now, It is a little pricey. It pays to bring a friend (or someone more) and do tapas for 2. There're more dishes that I like, I will review them next time I venture down those stairs. Hmm, maybe tomorrow night. ;)

Needs a bigger variety of drinks and some beer on tap, but most of the food was great. Didn't like the taste of the Caesar, but loved the she-crab soup. Scallops and coconut shrimp were tasty. Husband said lamb chops were good (but I won't eat baby sheep or cows).

I took my mom here last night because I wanted her to experience a tapas style restaurant for the first time. Needless to say, we had a good experience overall. When you first arrive at the location you have to walk down the stairs at the outside entrance of the building. They conveniently have a menu hanging outside so you can get an idea of what they have to offer before you walk down. Once you go inside the atmosphere is very nice with dimmed lights and a live performer. The music was not so loud that it was overwhelming; therefore, it isn't difficult to carry on a conversation with your party. The service was good, although I didn't find our server to be very personal with us. The food arrived in a very timely manner and the portions were all very good-sized, not to mention they all were very tasty and looked to be very decorative on our plates. The martinis were all excellent, although a bit pricey- $10.00. As far as dress goes, we felt extremely underdressed. I don't recommend casual dress for this restaurant. There were a few people wearing shorts here, but I recommend a dress for women and nothing short of khakis with a nice shirt for men. All in all, I will probably return to this restaurant if I ever come back to town.

I probably would only give this place a three (maybe four) but since the baby on board contingent from Cali seems intent on review bombing this place I figured I'd give it a five to counteract at least one of their reviews. This place is a nightclub/restaurant that has live music- what part of that sounds even remotely baby friendly? I'm actually surprised they allow 18-20's in there given the state of Savannah liquor licensing for any place that has live music (Loco's kicks out everyone under 21 when they have live music). That said the atmosphere is pretty cool, if a bit loud for quiet conversation. The food I had on my one visit was a mixed bag- most was pretty good but some was just fair.

If the Jazz'd Tapas Bar were a person, he would be that metro-sexual guy at the bar who is trying waaaaay too hard to impress the ladies. We went here because they advertised live music and had an expansive menu. Turns out we didn't make the best choice. I should've known when the host told us it was a fifteen minute wait for a mostly-empty dining room. We opted to sit at the bar instead. The service was slow. The bartender was friendly, but she kept saying how busy she was. I couldn't really understand why - it seemed like the restaurant was at 35% capacity at best. Hmm. Maybe they were just understaffed that night. I kept waiting for the live music, which never happened. We picked two of the tapas and sadly, neither was impressive. The shrimp and grits were fine, however, the shrimp was plated on the skewer. It was hard to pull it off and mix with the grits. The lasagna tapas dish sounded delicious, but it was very dry. The pasta was homemade but there was barely enough spinach-goat-cheese mixture for a mouthful. Boo. The decor is overdone. It looks like they just went with what they think is trendy and modern, but it does not feel cohesive. Nothing about it felt personal or welcoming. Seemed like the place that Will Ferrell would visit while reprising his role in "Night at the Roxbury." I think that this place has potential if they narrow down the menu and concentrate on the food. With a few other adjustments to the decor and the service, things could go from overdone to well done. Until then, I'd recommend Sugar Daddy's instead.

My wife and I stopped in for dinner, with rather high expectations given the TA rating. The restaurant is in the basement of an office building, which for me is a hurdle right from the start, though not a deal breaker. Our server was very good. The live music, a couple guys on guitar was nice. I started with a blue caracao Hendrick's martini (their signature) which I sent back for no charge. Not their fault I didn't like it, I guess I'm just a martini snob. The replacement Hendrick's martini was very nice. Food was so-so. Their highly touted calamari was slightly rubbery, and we required over 2x the marinara dipping sauce it came with. The Pesto chopped salad was quite tasty, artichokes and bacon in a pesto dressing. On to the beef shoulder, which was very good. With all Savannah's outstanding offerings, this one was average.

Ben T.

Very fun spot to go. We went for an after dinner drink and were sad after getting to see and smell some of the tapas that we could have eaten. That said, the wine, the music, and the general atmosphere made for a very nice after dinner stop.

I think the martini is the official drink of Savannah. Jazz'd had plenty of martini variations like so many other restaurants and bars here. You'd think an Old Fashioned would be more appropriate for Savannah. My girlfriend ordered the sweet tart martini with Southern Comfort, sour mix, and cranberry. It had that awful Jello-sweet flavor. The Chesapeake martini which was basically a bloody mary rimmed with old bay seasoning. The drink had a fun, but bulky garnish of pickled okra, lime, and stuffed olive. This was a good drink. The wine list was very weak which is a huge problem for a tapas bar. Quick SAT test: Wine is to tapas as... A. Beer is to bratwurst B. Vodka is to caviar C. Champagne is to strawberries D. All of the above I hope you get my point. The list was littered with bottles that could be bought at a supermarket for under $10. I ended up having a glass of Chateau Ste. Michelle reisling and then a Seven Deadly Zins. Snoooze. We started with the crab cakes which came with a store-bought-like mustard and a terrible avocado and tomato salad that had turned brown. The cakes were average. We also started with shrimp and grits. The shrimp came on skewers which always bother me because eating shrimp is enough work with the tail shell, but now I have to slide them off a stick? The grits were surrounded by a tomato broth which was okay, but not a helpful combination. As grits go, they were grits. We could have left at this point because the food didn't wow us, but we stuck around to enjoy the music which we really liked. It was a bit odd they put the musicians in the corner on the lowest floor. There wasn't even a platform for them. We ordered a second round of two dishes. The flounder rolled around crab was a misfire. The flounder was tough and it was barely filled with crab. The calamari came with boring tomato dip, but the sautÃ©ed peppers on the bottom made this dish a hit. It gave the squid the right amount of acidity along with introducing flavor. The concept is there, but the presentation was wrong. It's too big to be a tapas sized dish. The marinara sauce was not needed. Add more peppers because we quickly ate the peppers before finishing the calamari. Don't hide the peppers at the bottom of 4 inches of calamari. Change the service plate. Instead of a deep bowl, try a rectangular plate where the calamari can be loaded on one side and the peppers can be laid across the other side. Although our waitress did everything right, the rest of the staff made mistakes like taking away the silverware and not replacing it or taking away the menu after ordering only two dishes. Due to local laws that prohibit the retail sale of alcohol on Sundays, another table ordered a bottle of wine to take back to their hotel room. You don't see that happen everyday. I'm tempted to give 2-stars, but the music brings it up to a 3.

Jazz'd Tapas is a throwback to a much earlier time....a basement location, a guy playing and singing old jazz favorites in a fairly open room with a woman at the bar loosened up and yelling for oldies from the 40's when she was a teenager......made the place seem like you were in a movie classic. Then they brought the menu with 2 pages of tapas from many cuisines and warned us that 2 tapas each would be plenty since the plates were not really small. Unusual to have your server warn you not to order too much. The food was just great, fit the atmosphere perfectly and we left satisfied with food and loved the overall experience, So don't be afraid to head down the stairs and if you squint you might see Bogey at the bar.

Visited Jazz'd on 3/8/13. Wait was a little longer than we expected (45 mins), but we were able to get a spot at the bar within 10 minutes. Ordered the grilled flank, chorizo stuffed mushrooms, and prosciutto wrapped asparagus for food. Drinks were good as well. I was happy with my whiskey and my girlfriend enjoyed her vodka & soda. The music was fantastic! Not too loud, which is great because we were still able to have a conversation during dinner. Definitely will return next time we are in Savannah!

Fun, funky, downstairs Savannah Jazz "joint" Dark, hip decor. I have only sat at the bar to order drinks and tapas. Drinks are always good. Excellent Mojitos and Sangria. Good bartender. The tapas...I have had better. Not bad, but none are mind blowing. Great place for a romantic date for drinks & snuggles, or for a Girl's Night Out.

Went there with a girlfriend after work. The place was empty. As we were there a few tourists trickled in. I ordered a glass of wine. Sipped it a few times and finally concluded there was NO way I could finish it- it was just plain rancid. When the waiter can to check in, I told him about the wine. He said he would have to charge me- I didn't care it was so sour. He said it was a brand new bottle and would have to charge... I was ticked he wasn't apologetic or anything. It wasn't that I just didn't like the wine, it must have been bad. He returned a few minutes later to tell me the bartenders agreed the wine was "off" - still no apology and now my stomach was getting upset. I ordered a different wine. It was so so. Of course he recommended the most expensive and it was just a marginal young and acidic red. My friend got the sangria. Despite my dislike for gin it was good. Don't expect a typical sangria- this is really just a fruity mixed drink. We ordered: the paella, empanadas and stuffed mushrooms. Paella wasn't spectacular but tasted pretty good. Empanadas were flaky and served with a sour cream based dip. A little spicy, but I'm a spice wimp. I could have eaten 10 because they were so fab. As it was, there were 3 total and we split them even. This was the best of our 3 dishes. The mushrooms were terrible and tasted like bath water. Never again. Service was marginal. Food was average. As an aside: I am obsessed with the flooring material by the bar. So soft for heels and you don't slide!

Great place for a drink and music. Had some food that was expensive for the amount presented, yet the food was not extra-ordinary to my taste buds. Can't remember the woman I was with, but I have not taken another there since, perhaps because of the lack of food we were served. Tapas!..yeah not! I need double Tapas. If you want to meet some people and listen to laid back music..this is the place. If you want food that is worthy of your hard earned dollars, go elsewhere.

Love this place! My boyfriend (of nine months) and I went to Jazz'd last night for a date night. We had a great time! It was his first time visiting and my second. The service was awesome and friendly. The food was delicious! We had the terra cotta cheese plate as an app and it was amazing!!! We followed it up with stuffed flounder and escargot. Which we shared of course (: accompanied with some cosmopolitans and Raspberry 75!!! The jazz band started while we were finishing our food. And they were fantastic! At that point it got a bit loud for date night but we we're sitting 2 seats away from the band...if we were sitting away from the bar area it would have been perfect! When we left we told everyone we encounter about one of our new favorite places! I keep hearing that it's a bit pricy, I tend to disagree. We had the 3 dishes plus a total of 4 martinis and our bill was $70...$95 with tip. Not bad for date night, great food great service and excellent entertainment! (:

After driving 9 hours from DC to Savannah we were tired but hungry and ready to have a drink and relax. We had a few restaurants picked out for later in the week, and didn't have a plan for the night. We came across Jazz'd, just a few blocks away from our hotel. We looked at the menu and decided we'd give it a try. It's a a great date spot. The live music was excellent -- Sinatra, Bennett, Porter-- sung by crooner Trae Gurley. We actually even bought his CD (gotta support local musicians)! We had the chorizo stuffed mushrooms which were okay (I think chorizo can really overpower something as subtle as mushrooms), shrimp and grits (great flavors), Cuban beef satays with fried plantains (excellent! probably the best dish), and crab cakes (which I can't remember too much about 2 weeks later, which I suppose says something about the dish). The bartender made great vodka martinis, and it was a perfect spot for my husband and I to chill out, enjoy a few beverages, and listen to live music. After all we did just spend 9 hours together in the car so there wasn't too much left to say. And as we found out later in the week, it was a nice alternative to over-fried and butter-laden Southern cuisine!

Jazz'd was recommended by a staff member at our hotel and did not disappoint. Wonderful service, excellent cocktails and superb food. The music was a bonus too. My friends and I enjoyed it so much we returned for a cocktail before dinner the following night and were greeted so warmly by our server from the previous night. Definitely worth a visit!

Mark M.

The food here is okay. Definitely above your typical Savannah offerings. But it takes itself way too seriously. And the people who go here think that they're way more posh & sophisticated than they actually are. The establishment feels the need to define what "tapas" are on the front page of their menu...which I found to be both condescending & insulting, as well as an indication of the type of clientele that go there, who probably do, in fact, need the help. These aren't traditional Spanish tapas either. So I find it somewhat ironic that they hit you over the head, right off the bat, with what "tapas" are supposed to be...and then serve food that falls outside that definition.

Traveling alone, so sat at bar. Delightful gal bartender served me. Loved the choices of tapas on the menu. I choose the beef tips, the sauce was blue cheesey and great to dip the bread in. I will say, if you're looking for action, Monday at 6, it's not hoppin ;)

I really enjoyed Jazz'd. It's a cross between a restaurant, bar, and lounge. The atmosphere is inviting, yet relaxing. It is decorated with colorful paintings and dim lighting. The live band was good. However, I wouldn't consider the music jazz per se. Likewise, I thoroughly enjoyed the tapas; the food was good. The next time I visit Savannah, I will definitely go to Jazz'd again. :)

Indifferent food, indifferent service, no willingness to accommodate vegetarians. Not a great experience.

"The shrimp and greats are great as well as the 3 cheese puffs. Skip the frittata. But overall a great time and meal. Ask to have Carolina as your server- delightful!"

Just got into Savannah looking for decent food along Broughton St on a Monday night. Saw the sign for Jazz'd Tapas Bar and decided to check it out. Contemporary layout with a Jazz motif, smoking at the bar, occasional live entertainment- this probably works better as a late night spot than for evening dining. The food is competently prepared even if a little uninspired. I ordered a blackened salmon that was well seasoned and very tender- it was very good but was served on a bed of dried bland broccoli florets. I also ordered lamb chops that were perfectly cooked and seasoned with a nice salsa fresca-like garnish. Very nice. Decent wine options as well.

Absolutely amazing! Definitely a tucked away delight in Savannah! I went with a date and we ate the Tapas for Two (definitely a great bargain)! There was a piano player who kept the atmosphere going and the food was to die for!!! I've never tried Escargot, thinking it would be rubbery, etc, but it was amazing! Blackened Salmon was mouth-watering! Can't go wrong here!

Awesome !! This place is tucked away under the streets but once you find it you will always come back. The food was great and the atmosphere was even better. Live music, great eats and you almost feel like your not in Savannah. Almost.

Was pretty excited for this place given menu! Great staff, atmosphere, and band! Food was ok, but portions were not large (despite previous reviews) and were a little steep. $35 for 3 tapas given portions was a bit much. Yes, I know this is a tapas restaurant and it was not our first time at a place like this. I would certainly go back for music and drinks, but for the wife and I, we would eat before hand.

I've been waffling between 2 and 3 stars for this. Two feels too harsh; 3 feels too generous. We're vacationing in Savannah and have enjoyed fantastic meals at Sapphire Grill and Local 11 Ten. Jazz'd was half as good as either of those places. Our waitress here was nice, and we enjoyed the live music. The food wasn't bad. It just wasn't great. It also wasn't tapas. I don't think there was a single thing on the menu that I'd ever seen in a tapas bar in Spain (save the potato omelet). Just know this before you go there. We had the chorizo empanadas, which were actually stuffed with a spicy, flavorful shredded meat, not chorizo. This was not a bad thing: they really did a good job with this filling. I'd be happy eating a plate of it. The empanadas were plated atop the most sad piece of lettuce ever--bruised, torn, ugly. Whoever plated the dish should've used a bit of discretion and ditched that thing! The empanadas would've looked much better on a nakeddis, and I'm not one who cares much about presentation. The lamb chops were tender and flavorful, but as someone already commented, they had some kind of weird topping, like fried leeks gone wrong. Their caper tomato sauce was fine, but I think I might've drizzled a mint chimichurri over them and stopped there. Definitely need to ditch the weird topping. The espresso scallops (a special of the evening) came with a rich cream sauce that definitely needed some bread for dipping. They charge for bread (??), and it was that crappy Wonder Bread-style fake French bread that's soft. Ugh. It was served with olive oil, parmesan, and black pepper. Exactly the same as the what they served with the (free) bread at Sapphire, only COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Sapphire's oil and cheese combo tasted decadent, insanely good. The bread was homemade, filled with flavor, crunchy. At Jazz'd, it was hard Sysco-shredded parmesan. For $5.50 bread. Can Sysco just please go away? There's gotta be someone in town who can bake you guys some decent bread. Keep it in the freezer and pop it in the toaster--it'll be great! It's the details that make the difference. I'm glad we ate here once. If we lived here, we might go back. As tourists, we won't.

My husband and I stopped here on a Sunday night while visiting Savannah and fell in love with it. The decor is trendy, kind of industrial, with a sexy, curved bar. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the bartender's company while imbibing in perfectly mixed martinis. We had eaten a late lunch so just ordered two tapas (one shrimp and one scallops) and they were awsome. On stage was a singer/songwriter who played guitar. It was a wonderful way to spend the evening.

We were in Savannah and were looking for something atypical. We thought a Tapas spot would be perfect. they have live music, are centrally located and we generally love Spanish food. We ended up getting there during happy hour, which was nice because we saved a fwe bucks on drinks. I will say I was a bit disappointed by the food and the cold nature of the atmosphere. We ordered three plates. We had the baked chevre log in a cumin tomato sauce with garlic toast, the paella and the shrimp anmd grits plate. The baked chevre with the tomato sauce was okay, but it basicaly tasted like manicotti (nothing Spanish or Tapas about that). The paella was decent. The rice was a bit overcooked, but it wasn't so bad. the shrimp we had were great with the grits. Overall the total damage was just around $50, great price for 3 apps and 3 drinks. I don't think I'd go back if I was in the area, just sort of fell flat for me.

Best food we had in Savannah. Wonderful live music. Our favorites: the she-crab stew (I could have just eatten that and been happy) and the beef satay. My partner loved the ahi tuna, as well. For a nice night out in Savannah, go to Jazz'd. Be aware that it is down a flight of stairs though.

After a long day of sightseeing (while looking for the Forrest Gump bench that was removed a while ago, weird, why is it still on the map then?) and walking along Broughton Street, we were ready for a good meal before we end our journey in Savannah. Feeling for tapas? Let's check out Jazz'd then. This is a funky restaurant located in the basement underneath Gap clothing. Aside from the loud music, there weren't many people. However, we certainly amazed by the cool arts on the wall, the unique wine storage at the bar and the overall settings. Our orders were huge disappointment. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes?? After all, this was just my opinion. The SHE crab stew was too salty and we were hoping that the other 3 dishes would score later. Naw way! Are you serious?? The sliced portobello mushrooms with white wine, butter, fresh minced garlic and grape tomatoes tasted way better than the poached escargot, which served as the main attention here. There was nothing special or crazy about the lemon capers tilapia. To me, it was just an average bland fish dish. However, the chevre & proschiutto shrimp saved the day in the end! I have to admit they have a really cool website. It would be a great hang out place with friends with live jazz or blues music. But, you might want to eat somewhere else prior to the show.

Great find on our trip to Savannah. Chef not willing to make adjustments to items. Otherwise, atmosphere was cool, a little noisy, but it does have great live music. We had the hummus (four pieces of pita not enough, had to request more and there is a charge), lettuce wraps had great sauce, salmon was very tasty with broccoli, and lambchops were fantastic. An extensive list of Martinis but no beer on tap.

We had an early dinner at Jazz'd last week and were disappointed to discover that the live music didn't start until 9. Our food was hit and miss. I'll start with the misses. The She Crab stew was uninspiring and completely lacking crab. The Salmon was way overcooked and dried out. However, the dill sauce and zucchini cakes that accompanied it were delicious. The lamb special was, by far, the best of our selections. Cooked to perfection, its flavor was out of this world. We were really surprised by the red grape sorbet we ordered for dessert. It was served with creme fraiche and I was tempted to lick the plate clean. For the quality of the food, it seemed a bit over priced, especially considering there wasn't any live music. Our server was attentive (though, I believe we were her only table). I'm not sure I'd rush back to Jazz'd - but maybe I would stop by if there was a band playing and I could get more of that grape sorbet.

Didn't know what to expect as we had not heard of Jazz'd and stumbled on it. Really liked the decor and the vibe right away, which had a very distinct cool feel to it. It was a Monday night so it wasn't full, which meant our waitress was really able to engage in discussing the menu items, which were plentiful. She knew the menu well and made a few recommendations, which were right on. We enjoyed the Chevre Stuffed Chicken Breast, which was seared and served with sauteed wild mushrooms, and the Mussels Provencal, which were prepared in a tomato-based sauce instead of more-typical white wine, and this definitely provided a different flavorful experience for us. Our favorite dish, though, was the Blackened Salmon, which was grilled in cajun seasonings and garnished with tarragon mustard. The fish was very tender and the blackened flavor mixed with the mustard lit up our taste buds. Delicious and fun!

My husband and I came here because he's never experienced Tapas before and I wanted him to try it. We are not from Savannah - so we came to Jazz'd expecting traditional Tapas fare. That, it was not. It's tapas in the sense that the portions they serve are smaller appetizer/sharing sizes, but the food is more modern fusion. The drinks we ordered were delicious, so kudos to the bartender. I also agree with previous posts that the music isn't really Jazz, at least not the night that we went. There was an acoustic, one-man show. He was very good though.

Lindsay M.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. You cannot go wrong going here! Our favorite dishes are the terra cotta plate, marinated beef tenderloin, and the pesto salad. And the live music is great too! Our favorite musician sounds just like frank Sinatra. I believe he's there on Thursdays. Great ambience and good service. Only complaint is that each time we have ordered chefs specials, the food is just eh. Happened a few times so we just don't order them anymore. So stick to the menu and you will not be disappointed!

Not only is this restaurant not family friendly, but it is just unfriendly period and its attitude about nursing moms is straight from the 1950s. I am the woman who was turned away from Jazz'd when I was in Savannah for an American Bar Association convention. I just want to confirm that the hostess and owner were both very rude and unaccommodating, refusing to let me take a step past the hostess station because I had my baby in a stroller and they have a "policy" of no children under 18 allowed. They confirmed that this is not the law, but just a restaurant policy. I explained that my baby breastfeeds and had not yet learned to take a bottle, which is why I can't leave her behind. My party had a table in a private room, and I really don't see why this restaurant was so hostile to a rational request. It would have been no trouble at all to let me in with a baby into a private room, but they couldn't be bothered. I would understand if I was trying to sneak in a health hazard, like a dog, but this was a nursing, sleeping baby. Instead of graciousness and kindness, I was pointed to the elevator. The only bright side is that I was so upset at that point that I was glad they wouldn't get my hard earned money. Afterwards, six of my party left in solidarity, which I think speaks of their high character, regardless of how the owner has characterized it. I hope that this experience will encourage the owners of Jazz'd to realize the ludicrousy of the "no babies" policy and will foster a little more empathy towards a woman who is breastfeeding and still trying to work full time and attend conferences such as this one with her colleagues. It is only when these kinds of attitudes change, and that breastfeeding while being a working mom is tolerated and even celebrated, that women will truly be able to achieve equality in this country. Shame on Jazz'd for setting women back.

Jazz. Art. Wine. Food. Jazz'd is a lovely, underground tapas bar on Barnard Street. It can be difficult to find, so look for the sign and the stairs leading d.o.w.n........ My work wifey and I really loved this spot! We loved it so much we ate here three times! Three seemed to be the trend while in SAV. The only thing that I did not like is that smoking is allowed in the bar area. I live in Cali - what do you expect?! Remember, these are small plates. Order according to your hunger level. Now on to the food.... Must Haves: * Five Onion Soup - Cheesy & flavorful. Crouton was delish. * Black Bean Soup - A bit watery. Skip it. * Jazzy Chevere Tomato Dip - Creamy & smokey. Loved it. * Baked Cheese Plate - I love cheese. This was a favorite. * Citrus Shrimp & Scallop Skewers - Ordered this every time. Fresh and perfectly cooked. * Steak Diane - The wifey LOVED it. Well seasoned and flavorful. If you are thirsty, you can order bottles of wine to go. This service came in handy considering we were staying in a hotel. Recommended.

Went here at 855 pm and happy hour ended at 9. Waitress said we could still get in on happy hour even though by the time we ordered it was after 9. Ordered a ton of small plates for 4 people And ended up dominating them all. Great drinking environment, great food, and even on the subsequent drinks ordered well after 10 pm, we got the special prices.

We arrived into Savannah late on a Friday night absolutely starving. The concierge from the hotel recommended Jazz'd as a solid late night eatery so we gave it a shot. The tapas menu was a bit more expensive than we were used to (and that's Atlanta prices!) but the items were ordered were quite good. We got the seven layer dip, carne asada lettuce wraps and the home made lasagna. All were quite good and definitely filled us up. The food itself would have gotten 4 stars for being quite tasty, but a bit over priced. I dropped it down a star because of the service. We didn't get here until 10pm so by that point the dining room wasn't very crowded. Because servers had been cut, all the sections were no longer open so the only table we could get was in a small room with a large, noisy party.

A great social dinner environment. The tapas menu has a large variety of items. None of which are a poor choice in my opinion. I read the reviews before going to this place and I agree that the onion soup is something you cannot miss. I also enjoyed the beef shoulder with the potato au gratin. The chicken with chevre cheese was a little on the salty side for my palate. The coconut shrimp was outstanding. The lasagna was light for a usually heavy dish and was surprisingly good. The chorizo empanadas were great. They had a creme sauce on the side that cut the heat perfectly. A great touch was the fat tire beer they offer. Something I can't l get in my town and this is a beer that goes very well with just about everything on the menu. Overall, I highly recommend dinner here and I would come back with hesitation.

Good for drinks and entertainment, not food. I'm of two opinions: Food: Yet another faux Tapas restaurant: ill thought out menu, a few obligatory Spanish dishes, poor preparation. There are a few good dishes (beef shoulder), but most is just. so. marginal. Overcooked fish. Bland flavors. Separating sauces. Really not very good. Bartender & Wine List: Excellent. The bartender has an encyclopedic knowledge and makes drinks with care. The wine list is similarly constructed with some excellent options in the upper "Select Wines," (Stags Leap Petit Sirah & Chard, Cakebread Chard, Caymus Cab). Excellent for drinks and entertainment, but I'd recommend walking a block or two to Circa 1875 for unbelievable Parisian food instead of eating here.

Good atmosphere near bar. DO NOT sit in back room. Totally depressing. Pineapple upside down cake martini is amazing. The chorizo stuffed mushrooms taste like sweaty ball sack. Don't recommend those AT ALL. She crab soup and prosciutto wrapped scallops were delicious.

Lived down the street for two years... went there every chance that I could come up with a good enough reason. spring mix salad, she-crab soup, crab cakes, chevre and prosciutto shrimp, asiago grouper, and the terra cotta cheese plate are some of the highlights of the restaurant. The staff is always super friendly, most of them are local SCAD students (a local arts college that I used to attend myself) who would love nothing more than to discuss the art decorating the walls or what's going on this weekend in Savannah. the music is nothing special and it's often too loud if you're in the main dining area **They only take reservations for large groups!!*** (i think 8 or more), so if you have a smaller party... GET THERE EARLY, put your name in, and have a drink at the bar while you wait

We ate here on our first night in Savannah. I think this place was recommended to is by a guy working at the B&B where we were staying. The food here was just fine, not anything special. I wasn't crazy about the decor or ambiance either. Between two of us we ordered: - chorizo empanadas - crab stuffed mushrooms - seven layer dip - baked cheese plate with fruit and baguettes Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable. Wasn't crazy about the cocktails either. All in all, I was disappointed, especially since it was the first meal we had on our week long vacation of Charleston and Savannah. It's ok though because every other restaurant we dined at was great.

Jazz'd is all about Jazz. A hip, fluid martini bar and tapas restaurant located in a basement spot in the center of town. Excellent Expresso Martini's! Make sure to make reservations, otherwise the wait can be pretty long. Food was good, not out of this world. We all knew we were going to be hungry later. More of a two date spot over dining with a large party here. Music was good, the layout of the space didn't cater to the entertainment though.

Very, very good. We ordered calamari and wine. The calamari was the best I have ever had - moist, tender, perfect. (Overcooked calamari is rubbery - yuck). The Merlot was fab - especially for the price and service was excellent. All in all, a very enjoyable dining out experience.

Excellence is the only way to describe Jazz'd!! The wait staff and bartenders are always very friendly and attentive. The music is always wonderful. The atmosphere is excellent for a date night or for a girls night out. The Tapas for Two deal is definitely the way to go being it is more than enough food for two people. The martinis are by far the best I have ever had anywhere! This is by FAR the best place I have ever been to and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Simply excellent! The concept is called tapas, but what they're really more like half-sized entree portions. Their menu's great and the atmosphere is even better. When I was there the other night, there was a guy singing like the old crooners (Sinatra, etc.) and he was actually very good. They have a great deal there for $30 per person - the Tapas for 2. For that price you EACH get a soup or salad, 2 tapas, and dessert. Like I eluded to before, to call them tapas is an understatement. It's more of a large appetizer or small entree portion and we were more than stuffed by the end of the meal. I had an excellent "she crab" soup to start, which was basically a creamy crab chowder with petite bliss potatoes and a rich creamy broth. For my tapas, I selected the paella and the shrimp and grits - both items were excellent. My friends and I were actually sharing all of our choices, so I also got to try empanadas, stuffed mushrooms, an excellent warm assorted cheese terra cotta platter (brie, goat, gouda, and cranberry) that was served with toasted french bread, lamb chops, petite cast-iron filet mignon, and grilled shrimp and scallops with a citrus marinade. Everything was flavorful and delicious and it was fun to share all of our selections. For dessert, they offer 3 choices - butterscotch bread pudding, creme brulee, and a flourless chocolate torte. We got one of each, but we doubled up on the chocolate (there was 4 of us). I wish we had gotten the extra bread pudding instead because it was by far the best of the three, although I'm not saying that the torte and brulee weren't excellent as well. If I ever pass this way again, I'll definitely come back to this place and I would really recommend it to anyone who's planning on visiting the Savannah area.

I loved the food. Everything I had was awesome. That being said, I had to visit the toilet before I left, and again when I got back to the hotel. It's a nice, swanky place. The service is good. The prices are high. The food is delicious. And the bathroom is clean.

My new husband and I went to Jazz'd our first night in Savannah on our honeymoon. We were told by friends that this was a good place to eat and I agree. We got the Two for Tapas which was more than enough food for the both of us. If you are really hungry this might be a good choice. We didn't even finished the second course of food or the desert because we were so full. The food was really tasty though. The cheese stuff chicken was my favorite. The drinks were also really good. They have fresh mint mojitos and a mango mojito that was to die for. The band was really good too. Overall, I am a fan!!!

Theresa K.

Love this place! I have been here several times....I love it in the basement: here is why, they took a space that would normally be wasted and made a romantic, sexy, smooth and trendy place out of it; love the artwork. They left the structure as is and painted to pipes overhead...it is just so cool, I cannot accurately describe how it looks it is one of those you have to see it to really appreciate it. I like to come early and enjoy the Tapas for two or any other combination of the Tapas, the servers try to bring them one at a time like a 3 or 4 course meal. The food is so good, I love the beef tips, onion soup, she-crab stew, everything is good. The desserts are fantastic, flourless tort and creme brulee..ummmm. The only drawback is on a Saturday night it was very busy and we did not get our Tapa's as they normally like to get them out due to the sheer volume of customers and this place is so popular that you will wait for a table. There are plenty of beautiful people to "people watch" and of course there is the bar. The Tapas are reasonably priced, but it is so hard to order only a few that it does get pricey when you want to try everything on the menu. I truly enjoyed my experiences here and will be back!

S. R.

Came here for dinner and got a few tapas to split with my friend... I ordered the lasagna and the artichoke dip.. both were delicious. The lasagna was baked well, not dry, and consisted of meat sauce, mushroom, pasta and cheese and I really enjoyed it considering I love all those components. The artichoke dip has to be one of the best ones I've had... it was not greasy nor was it bland and the flavors of the cheese were delicious... I also tried my friend's lettuce wraps with chicken.. it didn't look very appetizing, but the sauce they provided on the side was what made it.. pretty good I must say. As for the ambiance, it was amazing.. there was a very talented live band playing a fusion of what seemed like spanish/middle-eastern music and I must say... they were amazing! Overall, I had a nice experience here considering my friend and I were hungry and looking for a decent place to grab a bite after 10 pm.

Shannon C.

Of the 6 or so tapas that we ordered, the Terra Cotta Cheese Plate is the only memorable one. It's well proportioned and heartily filling for a tapas dish. Our server was very friendly and helpful in suggesting various points of interest among the Savannah nightlife options. Our wine was decent. The atmosphere left a little to be desired. And I still can't remember for the life of me what the other tapas were that we ordered.

What a hidden gem in savannah! I'm from NYC and this place can compete with the best of them. It's down a dark staircase and when you enter you think you are in an a dark jazz lounge. little do you imagine, that you are about to enter tapas heaven. The food is amazing. We ordered the tapas for two and were not disappointed. The food was very plentiful and all our dishes were very well prepared and seasoned. We had a very good waiter and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this place if you want to try some great tapas.

Jazz'd was just a few blocks from our hotel and was our first stop in Savannah. It turned out to be a great way to start our anniversary trip. A basement jazz bar and restaurant was great for dinner and I can see it being a great late night spot as well. Its a very colorful restaurant with lots of local art on the walls. We went on a Thursday night and they had a local guy singing the the likes of the Rat Pack. The singer was outstanding...couldn't figure out why he's in Savannah because it sounded like he could make it anywhere. Jazz'd calls itself a tappas restaurant but I didn't see one tappa, however the menu is all small plates or apps and shrunken enterees. We ordered the tappas for two for $60 and what a deal that was. Each person picks soup or salad then share any four "tappas" then each chooses a dessert. It sounds like a lot but since their small plates it was the perfect amount of food. The five onion soup was good but the she crab soup they brought out by mistake was delicious just based on the one spoonful I had. Wife had the Jazz'd salad which she enjoyed. We then split the beef satay with plantains and marmalade which I enjoyed more than my wife. The calamari was the bottom of the four tappas we had. It was a bit bland and soggy. Soggy fried food just sucks. The shrimp and grits were the highlight. Large savory shrimp, cooked just right and served over creamy grits with a tomato onion broth. Finally was the stuffed chicken breast...stuffed with leeks and extra creamy potatoes. My all time favorite dessert is creme brÃ»lÃ©e, any variation will do and if you put enough strawberries on it that one of the best food combinations, but when the chef goes cheap and uses vanilla extract instead of the real vanilla bean it completely screws up a great dessert, the two don't compare. The wife had the bread pudding which was okay, it seemed to be missing the custard but still good flavor. The drink menu boasted a lot of martinis and every Thursday night they have $6 signature martinis for ladies only. Service was great, couldn't have been better. Overall the food was good and that paired up with the live music makes it four stars in my book.

I had a horrible experience here, as did my friends. A man who seemed to be the manager (?) ranted and yelled when I tried to find out more about why our friends with a small, sleeping baby had been asked to leave. See his response below if you have any doubts about his attitude toward customer service. I won't point out all the ways his post is inaccurate, except to say that his rudeness and hostility speak for themselves. The one saving grace was that his wife said she would take care of our bill, after he said we could leave if we didn't like what had happened.

If you are like my husband and I, you are in your 30's and not into staying out all night just to drink like you used to. We now like a night out with good food, drinks, and live music doesn't hurt either. Well, this place was definitely right up our alley. We ordered the Tapas for Two and it was more than enough food for us. It includes a salad each, 4 tapas dishes, and dessert each. We both had the Caprese salad and it was good. Not the best I've ever had, but enjoyable nonetheless. We also had the chicken lettuce wraps and they were very good. A bit spicy for my bland palate, but I liked it a lot. My husband loved it as well and he likes spicy food. The spinach artichoke dip with pita chips is awesome too. The best part was the pita chips though. A bit crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. I could have eaten 100 of them, but luckily there is only about 6-8 on the plate. My husband ordered a beef tenderloin dish in vodka sauce with blue cheese (I don't eat beef so I didn't order it or eat it). He said it was the best thing he had there. He raved about it. He highly recommends it. Lastly....the shrimp fritters. Ok, to be fair, I'm not a huge seafood or shrimp fan, but I'll eat it and be ok with it. These were horrible. I ate one and had to force myself to finish it and couldn't eat anymore. Even my husband who is a seafood lover only ate one. It was the only place with food left on it. They were terribly fishy tasting and smelling. Yuck. I do not recommend these AT ALL. For dessert, we both had the chocolate torte. It was moist and flavorful. We had a few drinks (wine for me, top shelf drinks for husband) and we were surprised by how inexpensive they were. The live music was enjoyable and we had a nice, relaxing evening. The place itself is downstairs in a dark room. It has perfect lighting for an evening out. The decor is great and the bar has every kind of alcohol imaginable. Now, I would have given this place more stars but I couldn't because of the smoking. Every where I've lived for the past 5 years (MN, CA, and FL) do not allow smoking in bars or restaurants. We had to sit at a bar table or wait an hour. They allow smoking in the bar and we had to deal with it. I had to dock a star for this. Luckily only a few people smoked while we were there, but yuck...that is all. If you want a nice evening out with good food, drinks and entertainment, you won't be let down. Just wait for the table in the dining room.

I went here with a group during St. Patrick's Day weekend. The ambiance is really interesting - it looks kind of loungey, but it is more like a restaurant with a nice bar. The waiters and bartenders are really friendly, and there was a really great band playing, Bottles and Cans. The food was amazing. I had a dip with warm pita bread, and scallops and shrimp with some kind of fruity (maybe mango?) glaze. The portions were good - just the right size. Definitely a place to eat when visiting Savannah. I am going back next time I visit Savannah.

Our party of 5 had a wonderful time - the food was wonderful, the drinks fabulous and the staff terrific. Had the Citrus Shrimp and Scallop Skewers, Salmon on Zucchini cake, Proscuitto wrapped Scallops, chocolate torte and couldn't have been happier. Sangria, watermelon martini and key lime martini were winners. Going again before we leave!

We ate here on our second night of a romantic weekend trip to Savannah. When we saw the menu online, we were psyched--the dishes sounded great! We had also heard that the place had been getting a lot of buzz lately, which seemed very promising. Our experience at Jazz'd left me, well, very unjazzed. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes (as a party of two!) which wasn't very fun, since there was nowhere to sit at the bar and enjoy the atmosphere and a drink. The long wait subconsciously set up the expectation for awesome food and admittedly I was feeling grumpy at this point. The food was pretty mediocre at best; the highlight was the cheese plate, which says a lot. This could have been forgivable though if we'd had decent service. We waited over 15 minutes to even be greeted by our server, and had to order our drinks twice...total wait time for a beverage: 25 minutes. Granted, there were some big parties around and the restaurant was busy, which understandably can slow things down. But that was just ridiculous. Our server was pretty much MIA all night, and luckily some other nice waitstaff picked up the slack to actually get us food, silverware, etc. Our server gave us a lame "Sorry I ignored you all night" comment (verbatim). On the plus side, the atmosphere was nice and a little different than a lot of places in Savannah, and the live music was good. Overall however, I thought it was a big disappointment; it's one of those places you walk out and are sad that you just spent a large chunk of change on food you could have had at TGI Fridays. With better service and a shorter wait. Also, this place is a smoking establishment--so be ready to have your clothes and hair stink.

Great bar scene....almost always meet someone... The food is a little hit or miss but the calamari as well as the prosciutto-wrapped shrimp are good bets. Nice bartenders and a classy but relxed vibe...

After reading the mixed reviews, we decided to give it a try anyway, and are very glad that we did. The food quality was great, as was the atmosphere. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

We had drinks here after a great dinner, and they were great. Perfect Manhattan and the GF had a nice Kir Royale. The music was good, the crowd was hot. The prices were good too. Try it.

The food here is pretty good, although it is not a good place to take a date because the music here is so loud you have to shout to hear each other. The drinks were okay, although they did not have many beers on draft. It is not a good place to come for dinner because you will leave hungry so I would probably just recommend coming here for drinks and something to munch on.

So here's a late review. But we've been here twice and have enjoyed both times. This brings back the hip memories of the trendy lounges in Atlanta. Although not quite there, but definitely not a wannabe either. The first time we went was on a Saturday night. Wow, were they packed. We somehow managed to find seats at the bar and ordered a Dirty Goose and a Frozen Margarita. I must say that this is one of the best martinis I've ever had. While we waited for our table, we ordered the crab cake appts. Out came two perfectly sized cakes for $8. These were amazing and the best in Savannah. Sorry, I was too drunk to describe the taste now. Any who, we got to our table and was greeted by a very friendly server. We ordered calamari, clams, and fillet tips cooked in a bleu cheese and vodka sauce. Everything was great. The fillet made us want to throw up tough because by the time we got that we were filled with alcohol to the point of gaging to the taste of more. Otherwise, it would have been great. We ended up spending about $300 there but it was well worth it. And besides, by the time the night was over, I had already dropped over a grand so Jazz'd was just a small and pleasant dent. Our second time was for drinks only and once again we had wonderful drinks. Met a couple there that night and just went from there. Great place for locals and great place for tourist. Savannah is hip and trendy after all.

What a great place! The atmosphere was awesome and the live music was great. The food was to die for and you MUST try the Mango Mojito! I went here with a group of girls, which was great because we all ordered different things, giving us the opportunity to sample a lot of items. I tried so many things that I actually don't remember what I ordered, but I'm not sure you can go wrong with any of the items on the menu. If you were on a date I would definitely try the Tapas for 2 - it's $60 but would be well worth it...it gives you a choice of soup or salad, 4 tapas selections 2 desserts and soft drinks or coffee...such a deal! I don't remember what selections they have for dessert other than whatever creme brulee they offered...it was my weekend obsession apparently...which was oh so good and a large portion, which was a nice surprise. This was definitely my favorite dinner spot from my weekend in Savannah!

My only suggestion would be to make a reservation, and visit regularly so you can try the entire menu, you won't be disappointed.

I liked the appearance of this place. The ambience was great, the bathrooms were really clean and we enjoyed the live entertainment. The bartender was attentive and checked on us constantly. The food was good, but I think it's too over priced for what it was. The dishes were really small, so we had to order food again twice because our first three dishes still left us hungry, so therefore we ended up spending way more than we planned. Lesson learned, I probably won't come here again if I'm hungry, but I'll be back again to enjoy some drinks at the bar!

We've been to Jazz'd probably half a dozen times and have never been disappointed. I'm a bit surprised at all of the negative reviews - and certainly surprised at the "nursing mother" reviews, since it's clearly and plainly posted outside that there are age requirements to enter. Apparently some people don't understand that it isn't just about minors consuming alcohol, but that it's an inappropriate environment for babies and children. Personally, I think more restaurants should adopt that attitude; I don't want your kids crying, running around, and generally disrupting my meal, and I certainly don't want you breast feeding at the table next to me. I'm all for feminism and a big champion of women's rights, but also basic decency and courtesy. Since most people cannot/will not control their children and some women think pulling their breasts out in public is perfectly acceptable (I don't care what your reason is - excuse yourself to the bathroom), I appreciate the restaurant protecting the rest of us. Now, back to what really counts - the food. Look, it's not "traditional" tapas, okay, but it's also in Savannah, GA. They have a website, so feel free to review their menu before entering. Overall, I think Jazz'd is great. I love the Terra Cotta Cheese Plate and the Jazzy Chevre Dip; I order those every time. I also usually get the calimari, which is awesome. If you get the Tapas for Two, don't miss the She Crab Soup, which is some of the best I've ever had. Honestly, those things are so good that I usually don't branch out much, but I have had the tuna (good) and the seven layer dip (no longer on the menu, but good) and a few other things. Some of the new additions have been more hit or miss, like this sweet tea marinated fried chicken we tried that wasn't as good as it could have been, but none of it has ever been bad. The chocolate cake, though, is not good; I've had the bread pudding twice, and once it was blah, and the second time amazing. They definitely need to mix the dessert offerings up. As far as the atmosphere goes, I like live music, but sometimes it really is way too loud. I've been a few times where, after shouting at the people at my table for a while, we just gave up on talking. The servers have always been polite, but it's not consistently the best service in town -- though generally the hosts/servers have been accommodating. I'd give it a solid four stars, but I love the cheese so much that I think it deserves a five, especially to balance out the reviews based on the fact that they don't want babies and boobies in the restaurant.

My husband and I went there based on Yelp reviews and the experience was totally surpassed our expectations (and we had high expectations). We ordered Tapas for Two ($60) and it included 2 salads or soup, 4 tapas, 2 desserts and 2 coffees. The tapas portions were big (1/2 entree size) and they were executed with creativity. Their shrimp & grits had 6 grilled shrimps on top of very creamy grits and a slightly spicy tomato sauce. Martini marinated tenderloin tips was tender with a blue cheese green olive sauce that was totally delicious as a dip. My husband loves the chorizo empanadas. 3 good size empanadas with a spicy kick and touch of cumin, but the cucumber cream (sour cream?) that came with it balanced the dish very well. Usually unless the place has a separate dessert chef, desserts are run of the mill. Not with Jazz'd, they DO have a separate dessert chef and the chocolate flourless torte was the smoothest that I have tasted. My husband's bread pudding had just enough sweetness (not the typical southern sugar-bomb). Live music from Tuesday to Sunday, some good artworks exhibited there too. We will definitely go back.

My wife and I and another couple on vacation in Savannah for a week just had to check this place out .......sounded like a really cool place for music, drinks and maybe a Tapa or two. We really hit it big when we stumbled on this place. The bar prepared outstanding drinks, the music was fantastic (however a bit loud) and the food very , very good. I know it must be hard to do so many appetizer type dishes well but I do believe they have it mastered. Word of caution....Carefull on the amount of Tapas you order as servings are good size and you can fill-up in no-time!! We selected the complete meal with dessert (four Tapas I think plus dessert ......I had to pinch hit for the wife as she just could not eat it all. She Crab Soup is a must have. So......if you are in the river city for any time at all try this Bar if you like Music, Drinks, Tapas, Good Service and by all means a clean restroom.

I would have loved to enjoyed a nice dinner and drink here on my birthday, however we were "greeted" at the door and told to leave, because my boyfriend had on a sleeveless shirt...He was told he was under dressed for this "swanky" spot. Seriously, it is the heat of summer and hot as blazes outside. There is zero parking, so we had to walk in the hot sun to even get there. Give me a break. Pretentious and stuffy. Does not belong in a laid back spot like Savannah. We walked a block to a lovely sushi restaurant and had a much better meal.

David J.

It's hard to get 5 stars from me as there is always room for improvement. But Jazz'd is a fun place and the food is good and the escargot in tomato is so good it will make your eyes roll in the back of your head. We also had the lamb, which was tasty but the star of the dish were the potatoes, and the fried calamari. The calamari was good by they serve it in a bowl where the oil pools at the bottom and makes some of the fried food soggy from the oil. Nice people and good service top it off. We went on "Sinatra" night as that is the only night we had open. If you have another night to hear some variety of jazz, I would opt for that night. The singer wasn't bad but it was too much Sinatra for us plus his accompanying music was on an iPhone!! For that night, I would have preferred a live band or variety of singers. It's worth it for the food though.
(4)
Courtney E.

Jazz'd is almost a 5 star place in my book but there are a couple of things keeping me from that last star. First off, we almost always get the tapas for 2. It's a great deal (especially with the savannah menu discount) and leaves us stuffed. Some of my favorites are the cheese plate, lamb chops, and tuna wontons. Now the slight negatives, the service is never great it's always good but seems rushed and the servers don't check up as often as needed. Second is the bar, if you're ordering something off their drink menu it's good but if you order something off menu (i.e. a manhattan) the bar fumbles through and the result is never that great. All that being said, the negatives aren't that big of a deal to keep me away. They have an extensive menu and I look forward to trying one or two new things every time I come.

Becki O.

Wow! The escargot stuffed tomato has the most delicious herby buttery lemony sauce I've ever tasted! Amazing. Andouille crawfish cakes were flavorful but a little dry. She crab soup to die for. Flourless chocolate torte heavenly!

My husband and I were in Savannah this weekend. We had been to Jazz'd on our last visit over a year ago and enjoyed it enough to want to go back this time. Ok...I remember enjoying it, not moaning like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally". Everything we tried was killer. The Not Yo Moma's Street Tacos were so flavorful I could have eaten 5. The Caprese Flatbread = POW. I could have this everyday. I think we had something else but honestly...food blur. I DO know we ended with Chicken Cheesesteak Eggrolls. Dear Lord. They were amazing. Everything was....so much so - we went back the next night. We NEVER do that! The only thing we repeated was the eggrolls but my husband is still talking about the ribs. Seriously! Don't miss this place. It's worth it!

First time eating at Jazz'd and also first time in Savannah. Chose to eat there based on Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. Had 3 entrees/dishes and dessert. The orange pork, Thai chicken wraps, and shrimp and grits were all good but the pork was the best of the 3. My only complaints are that shrimp were scorched and didn't appear very burnt but definitely tasted it and the orange pork didn't have much of an orange flavor but it was still tasty. Bread pudding for dessert was a definite treat and really swung the entire experience into a 4th star. Service was very good. She made good recommendations and checked on us regularly. The live acoustic music may have truly been the highlight because the 2 ladies playing were amazing and definitely added to a uniquely fun environment. All in all, a good dining experience that I would recommend to others and would enjoy again, especially if the musicians are the same!

Our local friends are regulars here and brought us while we were in town. We went for drinks but all ended up getting actual food-food. I had the Fire Roasted Beef Shoulder Tender, as recommended by our waiter Jeff. I loved them! Cooked perfectly and were juicy as all get out. Tried my friend's lamb chops and they were tasty as well. The place had a pretty decent bar selection, our waiter (again, Jeff) was pleasant and prompt, and the food came out quickly. The live singer was fun to have around; his voice is pretty amazing. All around good time and great food!
(5)
Morgan W.

Great service, variety, and mood. She Crab Soup was tasty but not hot, merely luke warm, lamb chops ordered rare came out medium, and a second salmon dish was sent out when tuna was ordered. Tapas are a fun way to experience new and interesting food, Jazz'd is a good place for that...however more attention to detail will bump this place up a notch.

Regionally, I'd probably give this 5 stars as it has some of the most creative dishes and drinks in the area. The chorizo sliders are amazing as are the truffle frites. The chevre creole tomato dip could use some work. It has too much of a generic marinara flavor and the crustinis are heavily buttered but the chevre was amazingly well done. The Muenster Tartaflette was also kind of dissapointing. The bacon overpowered the whole dish and it tasted more like something you get at a comfort food restaurant. The bartender made a mean Manhattan but I wouldn't recommend the Jazz'd Manhattan unless you love fireball whiskey because that is what it tasted like. Overall, my experience was good and I would definitely come back.

We had a fabulous time. The wine was perfect. The tapas were incredible. Tacos were very tasty. Martini Marinated tenderloin tips were to die for. Perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. Our bartender was amazing too. He was fast yet left us alone so we could enjoy the ambiance of the place. LOVED the ambiance.

My group of four friends had dinner here this past Thursday evening, and we loved the ambiance. For dinner, I started with the French Onion soup which was fantastic. I shared the mussels, shrimp & grits, steak diane and the lamb chops with a friend. The only food related disappointment was the mussels, they tasted "off" and were a bit gritty. We hoped that we could catch a good show while getting dinner, but the performer that evening was sub-par and a bit depressing. We found ourselves getting sleepy and decided to leave rather than stay and continue to listen to him. The service was great, and the mussel situation was handled quickly and even the manager came by to apologize for them.

Jessica C.

Getting 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt like the food was over priced. The food was good but I felt like the tapas should have been 2 or 3 dollars less. The food and atmosphere was really nice but the music was loud so it made it hard to talk to people.

Good food, good ambiance. The jazzd salad with candied pecans was huge and delicious. We had the tapas for two. The terra cotta cheese plate and firecracker shrimp were delicious. The deserts were just ok. The creme brÃ»lÃ©e left much to be desired. Overall, a good experience.

Genea S.

my husband and i ate here on our last night after a week in savannah. I chose this restaurant based on yelp reviews and was not disappointed. service: our server was very nice. she even let us move tables when we wanted a better view of the lounge singer (who was very talented, btw). she recommended good dishes and brought our food promptly. she also brought us extra bread when I lamented that the last dish we ordered didn't come with bread. food: I would kill a person to eat that melted cheese platter again. no joke. i'm serious... I'll probably dream about it for months. we also ordered one of the specials -- a lamb medallion dish with a chutney on top. Finally, we had lamb chops but they didn't compare to the lamb with the chutney and I wish we had ordered something else, but they were still good. the toasted baguette was delicious. this place looks trendy, which worried me for food quality. but it isn't pretentious once you are inside. Portion sizes are good (especially for tapas). As food quality snobs, I am amazed at how much we loved it. This is a must visit for date night (leave the kids at home as minors are not allowed.)

Jennifer C.

Food was fabulous. Coming from CA, I found it reasonably priced. Atmosphere was weird. The lay-out of the place kind of makes you feel like you're never settled. Like a loft but below street level with the non-chained-to-the-wall tables kind of strewn all over the place to accommodate as many as possible. Our server was fabulous - serving tapas to large groups is not an easy thing to do I'm sure. The layout was probably my biggest thing in terms of areas of improvement. The weekend we went there were three bachelorette parties, and I was with one of them. Seems to be a trendy spot and a bit of a wait, even with a reservation. The live music was nice but I couldn't see anyone playing it. Do we take off points for that?

Brian S.

Whoa buddy... where do I start? This was an after party stop during our weekend out at The Crawl of the South, and I was not expecting much (I have been ruined by Ovinte in Jax). Boy was I wrong! The atmosphere is casual, cozy, hip, and intimate all at the same time--you pick how you want it to be. The wine selection is good (not great, but they have some good ones), and the tapas are as delicious as they are imaginative. My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) is that our server didn't know anything about wine (but I was thankful that she said so, as opposed to just winging it). That being said, it is not an insurmountable dent. I would highly, highly recommend that you stop in here if you like (a) good food, (b) good wine, and/or (c) good music.

Katie G.

The food was fantastic! The drinks were average and the music was a little loud but it's worth it for the food. We had the chorizo sliders. They were spicy and had a good sauce on them. We also got the caprese flatbread, which my boyfriend loved and talked about all night. We went a little late and it was full, make a reservation if you can.

Adam L.

We went here for our anniversary on valentine's day and even for being a holiday we were sat in a very timely manner. We ordered the tapas for 2 and were not disappointed. So much food that we ended up taking some home. For a tapas restaurant the portions were huge.
(5)
Rachel N.

For tapas they have the biggest portions as it's a little americanized. The only word I can think of is Wow! The cheese platter is the best cheese platter I've ever had. The 2 for $60 is a wonderful deal if you're really hungry. My roommate loves the 5 onion soup. My hubby loves the beef shoulder on potatoes and is actually pretty amazing as I had a bite and I don't normally go for red meat at all but it was very favorful. I also have tried the mushroom ratatouille and omg....YES!! Tastes as good as the lady feels in the herbal essence commercials.

Went to Jazz'd at 4 on a Tuesday and had a great experience! We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and talked to an employee outside who recommended we try the calamari and then let us in for drinks 10 minutes early. The entire staff was very friendly. The place is gorgeous, a great atmosphere! I will definitely be going back! The Drinks: I had the Citrus & Basil Sour Martini and highly recommend it! It was only slightly sour but not too sweet either, with a warm basil finish. My husband had the Sazerac and it was perfectly done, the bartender burns a lemon over the glad to add a burnt lemon scent and slight taste to the drink. This extra touch was not only delicous but also fun to watch. A friend ordered a Dark and Stormy and it was also perfectly mixed. The Food: My husband and I split 3 tapas: calamari, thai chicken lettuce wraps, and firecracker shrimp spring rolls. All three dishes were amazing! The calamari was the best we've ever eaten so I highly recommend that! The lettuce wraps are served cold and are spicy but we'll balanced. The spring rolls are local shrimp and fresh basil wrapped and fried served over a cucumber salad with a sweet/spicy sauce and again was perfectly balanced. I also tried a bite of a friend's Cuban Quesadilla which was delicious! The plates are larger than most tapas, so perfect for sharing a few or eating one as a light meal. The bartender (who also took our food order) was very accommodating and answered all our questions about the food and had no problem with us ordering the calamari without peppers underneath.

We stumbled across Jazz'd on our way to another restaurant, and the place seemed too good to pass up. Jazz and Blues, and the menu looked great. We went in and they were playing 80s pop music - not the music I expected, but the decor was cool. We ordered martinis (mine was a gin martini), Creole Tomato Dip, Jalapeno BBQ Shrimp & Grits, Coca-Cola Pork Ribs, & Steak Tataki Skewers. The martinis were okay - not the best, but not the worst. The tomato dip was a good start, a little spice and I liked the cheese on it. The ribs were pretty good, slightly overcooked, but tasty. That's where the good ends. The shrimp and grits were poorly seasoned and had what tasted like store bought bbq sauce. The steak skewers had no flavor what-so-ever. As good as the menu looked, I doubt we're going back to this restaurant unless there is a great reason (like a specific live band). I'd steer clear of this one and find a different place to dine.

Frank T.

If your looking to experience a multitude of international flavors, this is the place. From grilled Rosemary lamb chops to an Italian spin on ethnic spatzles carbonara, you can't go wrong. Every dish has its own identity. Sample the char crusted backend salmon served up with a mustard Demi glaze or the roasted artichoke spinach dip with fresh sliced pita. Live music completes this eclectic ambiance.

Jazz'd is a must visit when in Savannah. I was with a wedding party of 9 women, we shared 9 apps, and had Sangria's. Our bill's were 10 dollars a piece. We each got full and had a great time listening to the music. Spinach dip is a must also!! Thanks Jazz'd!

Two weeks ago, while visiting the historic/romantic City of Savannah, my wife and I decided to go easy on the Southern Style cuisine and eat on the light side. the menu for Jazz'd was in our B&B's recommended binder, and so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived, we were surprised that the restaurant is in the basement of a building, with a staircase leading down to the main reception lounge. The walls are vibrantly colored, displaying large colorful oil paintings of jazz subjects. Dimmed mood lighting is the mood with pointilistic zaps of LED colored lights, sporadically scattered across the ceiling. Only a few blocks from our B&B, located near the historic waterfront, this trendy tapas lounge was just what we needed. The menu has over 40 different tapas which are definitely a larger serving than an appetizer, but decidedly smaller than a full entree. We each chose two tapas, along with a bottle of Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay, our hometown vintner and neighbor. I had Calamari dredged in cornmeal seafood breading, flash fried and served over butter sauteed julienne jalapenos and sweet banana peppers. served with a side of spicy marinara. $9.50 and Chorizo Empanadas: savory turnovers filled with red potato, chorizo sausage, onions, green olives and golden raisins. served with cilantro-lime cream. $9.00 My wife had Five Onion Soup: better than french onion. five different onions, french bread, gruyere and asiago cheeses. $7.00 and Asparagus Proscciutto Wrap: tender asparagus spears rolled in thinly sliced prosciutto, topped with hollandaise sauce and nestled on a bed of fried leeks. $7.50 OUTSTANDING!!!!! They have live Jazz five nights a week

Great little place you would never know! Tapas are amazing! We went on Wednesday and had $12 bottles of wine and live entertainment. Really liked it. The cheese plate was wonderful. We had a cranberry cheese that was to die for. The empanadas were my favorite. Escargot was good, cocktails were yum.

Maybe the restaurant was having a bad night? I suppose we are all entitled to one now and then. This is my first yelp review, but had to do it..... Food was ok, not great, service not good...see below. Walked in at 5 (yes, the early bird special!), we were sat with the hostess setting the expectation that the table we were being given had a 7:15 reservation. No problem we said. But the food was slow coming out of the kitchen! Follow that by another waiter at an adjacent table telling the people they had to move in 30 minutes, and it set the tone for a "eat your darn food and get out of my restaurant ASAP" type atmosphere. Top it all off with ok, not great, food, oversalted beef shoulder (waitress didn't seem to care), and no offer for dessert or coffee and we were out the door. Oh and by the way, not a single one of the 4 waitresses standing at the hostess stand even acknowledged our departure. What happened to southern charm? One positive (I am being sarcastic). blasting 80's music....if you are into that????

I had been wanting to dine at Jazz'd since moving to Savannah and decided to dine here for my birthday the other night. I knew by the menu that it was going to be a more "american" style tapas as opposed to Spanish style. Our waitress also explained the same thing. We decided on the tapas for 2 for $65. My husband had the Cesar salad and loved, I had the jazzd spring mix salad and I was just as happy. We got the firecracker shrimp, Cuban quesadillas, tenderloin beef tips and pork tenderloin. We actually enjoyed the two lighter tapas most, the shrimp and quesadilla. Everything was fabulous though. My meat favorite was the beef tips. They were in a gravy with an extremely strong blue cheese flavor. We are fans of blue cheese but it was a little overwhelming. We got the flourless chocolate tart and bread pudding for dessert. Both were very vey good but we were so full we could not finish it. I also had a sangria which I loved and absolutely recommend. It had muddled fruit on the bottom which was really flavorful. The atmosphere was comfortable and hip. Although pretty dead at 6:30 pm on a weekday. The service was fabulous. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. The live music was a young woman playing acoustic guitar and singing lovey songs. Her voice was great but I was really really hoping for more of jazz style live music. I gave Jazz'd five stars because it served us very well. I wanted a tapas restaurant with good sangrias, great food, quick friendly service and live music.

The host of the BnB where we stayed recommended we try Jazz'd. So glad we did. We had the Tapas for Two. The She Crab soup was very creamy and much like a bisque. Our four tapas choices were Firecracker Spring Rolls, Mediterranean lamb Chops, Steak Diane, and, my favorite, Shrimp and Grits. It would take too much space to describe each one -- suffice it to say this was the best meal I had in Savannah and one of the best I have had any where. We chose creme brulee and bread pudding for dessert. The bread pudding was as good as my own and the creme brulee was as delicious as the creme brulee my husband makes. Not only was the food phenomenal, the waitstaff was very helpful and courteous, the restaurant was exceptionally clean and the entertainment (on Thursday night, at least) was excellent. If I lived in or near Savannah, this would be a restaurant I would frequent regularly. So glad we were able to experience this Savannah jewel.

My boyfriend took me here as a surprise for our first night in Savannah. Everything was excellent. The restaurant service is impeccable and you can tell all the waitstaff operates with the utmost professionalism. Food is served as tapas style. My boyfriend ordered a soup and I got a salad. We split the terra cotta cheese plate which we completely annihilated and almost licked the plate (seriously not kidding) stop reading the rest of this review and order the cheese plate already! For our main entree I ordered lamb chops which were cooked perfectly medium rare with a Mediterranean rub. He ordered the Cuban quesadilla which was also excellent. Cocktails were great and I must say I'm a lady that is picky about my Manhattan. Live music and great ambiance. This place is great for couples or groups of friends. I 100% recommend this restaurant and plan on returning.

Small plates style dining with live entertainment. Thought it would be a nice place to go during a recent trip to Savannah for a large group. Most of our party coupled up and decided to do the eat for Two for $60 which seemed like a better deal. You get 2 soup or salad, 4 tapas, and 2 desserts of your choice. My bf and I ordered she crab soup, chorizo sliders, ginger shrimp and scallops, steak tataki skewers, and roasted beef shoulder. We also all shared dishes within the party so I got to try a bite or two of their dishes like the BBQ shrimp and grits, Thai chicken lettuce wraps, crab cakes, escargot, coca cola pork ribs, and lamb chops. I would say the food was mediocre, nothing outstanding to rave about. However, the she crab soup was excellent and creamy. The lamb chops was the best out of all the tapas. Overall a good place for big groups and to have a few cocktails, but don't come here if you want an intimate conversation over dinner as it can get quite loud from the live band. I mean it is a Tapas Bar.

The lamp chops are juicy and flavorful. The setting is romantic but the live music can be hard for tables to talk. I do not recommend for first dates during live music nights since you cannot hear the other person without shouting. Order one plate if you're a skinny food hater, order two plates if you're an average food lover, and order three plates if you just love food too much. Caution: the terra cotta cheese plate can cause horrible breath and does not taste great.

We were not very hungry so my mom and I ordered the Asparagus and Romaine Tomato with Champagne Vinaigrette plus the French Soup with cheese and a Caesar Salad! Oh boy! That asparagus and tomato dish was so delicious. The French soup was also great but could be a little warmer. The salad was good as well. We got great service and loved the ambience. The guy singing that night ( Tuesday ) is a big plus! Over all great place in Savannah!

Dodd B.

Jazz'd was the perfect dinner spot. As soon as you walk down the stairs and enter the subdued lighting of the place the sounds of live smooth jazz wash over you. Our server Courtney was spectacular in both her food suggestions as well as her wit! The food was delicious although we felt a little guilty leaving some on the table as the portions were large! The owner was gracious and engaging, and the wine and drink selections we amazing. We will definitely come back the next time in town!

Jess V.

Once again, we were not disappointed in the delicious food of this great place! They accommodated our large party and sat us in the private room as requested. Our service had some ups and downs but the owners came by to make sure we still had a great time! The shrimp and grits, cheese plate and She Crab soup is to die for!! Don't have room for dessert?! You better make room because their bread pudding is the best I've ever had!!

OMG!!!!!!! Where do I start.......I absolutely LOVE this freaking place!!!! It's been 4 years since the last time I visited, & the quality of food as well as the atmosphere, & customer service was still at it's highest peak!!!! My boyfriend & I sat at the bar, as we do MOST restaurants, b/c we just can't say "NO" to the drinks!!!! (LOL!!!) Haigan, (I hope I'm spelling your name right, so sorry in advance, if I'm not) however, was/is the BEST bartender we've had EVER!!! All he did was ASK us what type drinks we liked, & he accommodated us to the MAX!!!! Every drink was on point, refreshing, different, & SUPERIOR in flavor w/out being water downed, & super sugary!!! The food recommendations were also impeccable!!! We had the Lamb Chops, that were insanely juicy, & flavorful, the Escargot which comes served inside of a tomato, & literally melted in your mouth, they were very earthy tasting, like fresh roasted mushrooms. The chicken panacotta, was nearly gone before I could get a good forkfull, so that should let you know how delicious it was, & the caper sauce on top brings JUST the right amount of briny salt flavor that makes the difference between this chicken dish, & elsewhere. The shrimp eggrolls are light, crisp, & fresh, but the WINNER of the night was MOST DEFINITELY the CHORIZO SLIDERS!!!! The chorizo sliders are a MUST HAVE!!!! As a matter of fact,.......we ordered those twice!!!! The meat is SO tender, yet spicy & sweet, & the fresh tomato just adds a little bit of acid to cut right thru & make the flavors taste so complete!!!! I LOVE this place!!!!! I will NEVER come to Savannah, GA w/out visiting this place before I leave!!! & take it from me,..... if YOU do,......you haven't lived!!!!! :-)

I left so stuffed after this meal- but well worth it. My friend and i did the "tapas for two" which is a great deal. My favorite items were the cheese plate (comes on a skillet so the cheese is melty), and the desserts- bread pudding and chocolate tort. However, we also tried the pork, beef shoulder, and Thai chicken lettuce wraps. I would say everything was good, but the lettuce wraps are not recommended. The beef shoulder came on au gratin potatoes, so that was nice. The orange glaze on the pork was really good- and so the only thing that was not perfect there was the pork was pretty fatty. Our server was also terrific- so attentive and on top of things.

Interesting take on tapas. Broad range of choices ranging from Asian style to more low country. The ribs were a great choice. Food was overall good if not exciting. Service was excellent. Place was a bit dreary but this was Monday night when they don't have entertainment. Would recommend.

Jerry C.

Not a jazz club but great food and servers who were attentive but a little inexperienced. We were looking to for a light dinner, some music, and a break from the heat when we went to Jazz'd. Menu had a good range of foods and we ordered the ginger shrimp and scallops and the vodka tenderloin which were excellent. The serving staffing felt like they were a little inexperienced but made up for it with enthusiasm. I liked the atmosphere but think they would benefit from a a good hostess or more active hands on manager. I found myself thinking, unrealized potential. Hope they take service to the next level and bring in better live entertainment

What a great place to spend an evening listening to a truly great Jazz singer - Thursday night. Thank you Mr. Gurley! Real passion but easy to listen to. In addition the food, drinks and atmosphere was fantastic.

My boyfriend and I were in Savannah for the night as a stop over for our road trip. We ended up going for tapas because we did not feel like a full meal. We had two items from the chef's menu (crawfish cakes and filet) and two items from the regular menu (shrimp & scallops and lamb chops). The crawfish cakes were out of this world. Warm tangy and full of flavor. The shrimp and scallops were good. They came over some mushrooms and bok choy. They flavor was a little hot. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and good. The steak was also well prepared with a good sauce and mashed potato accompaniment. For a drink i had a mango mojito. My first. It was made with love from the bartender and he put on a little show while making it. Definitely recommend this place for anyone.

Hip atmosphere, live music, crafty drinks. Food was good enough, but each dish just slightly missed the mark.

Friday night, all out of crab cakes and mussels, which is basically the only thing I wanted on the menu. We stayed anyway and ordered calamari (impossible to eat with a fork or your fingers, the breading fell off), crawfish cakes (too thick, not cooked all the way through, couldn't finish even one of them), fried mushrooms (the dip was delicious but the mushrooms were average), and spinach artichoke dip (just okay). When the waitress came to take my plate of crawfish cakes and I explained that they were just not to my liking, she said that we were not the only table of hers that just weren't feeling the food tonight. The only thing I thoroughly enjoyed was the Versailles martini. Hoping this was just an "off"night for the restaurant. But, unfortunately, I won't be going back again.

Loved the tapas. Maybe too big of portions so couldn't try more. Spatzel could have used bigger hunks of prochuto but was great. Cheese was awesome. Cocktails and bar service was great.

If you were let's say person who liked to drink alcohol then you'd love this place . I however don't drink but I still like coming here just because the atmosphere is so laid back. A few things you should know 1st no kids allowed so no little Johnny can't come with you nor can anyone else who's under 18 ( per city government rules ) . 2nd they have live music ( yes it good too ) however if you're to close to the singing area you can't have a Conversation because the music is a bit loud . My wife & I learned that lesson the hard way we came here for my birthday . Oops almost forgot to review the food ( sorry) it's a tapas bar so you can pick which small dishes you'd like to share . We opted for the tapas for 2 with includes , 2 soups or salads , 4 entrÃ©es & 2 desserts. All the dishes were incredible like they've been each and every time we've come before. If you're looking for a place to get in some adult time and not have to worry about screaming babies ( I can say that since I have a child) then stop on in .

Went on a Saturday night and they had a great live band doing 90s and 00s covers- can't go wrong with that! Enjoyed all tapas- and the waitress gave us some great recommendations. The petite filet special was amazing, as were the ginger shrimp and scallops, firecracker spring roll, etc ...I would stay away from the Carbonara- it was bland in comparison. Great place to hang out for a girls night

Ravyn P.

Everything we ordered was amazing! They have a lot of options on the menu and since its tapas, you can try a little bit of everything! This is more of a cocktail bar rather than a beer joint though. See a great place for a date. They have live music at 9pm

Mary K.

Get the tapas for two!! It's a great deal and it's hard to choose since everything sounds so good. We went with the terra cotta cheese (amazing!), BBQ shrimp and grits (honestly not the best, too many flavors going on that didn't really mesh), lasagna (very good), and beef shoulder (delicious and so tender). Each person gets their choice of a soup or salad to start and the most amazing dessert at the end. The chocolate chip bread pudding is to die for! Don't miss this place on your visit to Savannah!!!

We had such high hopes for this place! We were in Savannah for a girl's weekend 3 years ago and they were closed for vacation so when we came back this year, we were so excited to see they were open. The atmosphere was good and the band was great but we had mixed reviews on the food and the service. One of the girls in our group had a great experience... She has severe food allergies and our waitress took the time to understand her allergies and even went back to the chef several times to ask what could and couldn't be done. He ended you making her a delicious ratatouille that satisfied all of her needs and her appetite! The rest of us had food that was way over salted and spiced and got a snippy remark from the waitress when asked to swap out the fish tacos because they were so spicy that they were inedible. Big bummer because we were really looking forward to it! It looks like other people have had great experiences so perhaps we just caught it on an off night. I'm happy at least 1 out of 5 of us had a good experience here!

Fantastic food, decent prices, nice calm environment, great and quick service (we got there early, about 5pm). I had the spring mix salad, terra cotta cheese plate, the lamb. The salad and cheese plate was delicious, the lamb was cooked perfect med rare like the server said it would be, but was just a little bland for my taste. The cheese plate was warm with apples & grapes. Cheese selection that night was healthy servings of chÃ¨vre, fontina, Brie, and a tart cranberry cheese; I was reluctant to share! My husband had the Caesar, steak Diane, and Thai chicken lettuce wraps. The lettuce wrap chicken was cold, which was a little unexpected, but great flavor. The Cesar had a little bit of a weird almost licorice flavor. But other than that, everything was fantastic! Dessert was chocolate torte and creme brÃ»lÃ©e, both of which was delicious. This was a special for two, which was $65, and totally worth it- two salads, 4 plates, and 2 desserts. I will definitely return next time we go to Savannah!

Ms. B. and I were visiting Savannah over my birthday weekend, and we ended up at a couple of winning places to celebrate. Jazz'd is at the top of the list. We came for dinner with another couple, and opted to try several different small plates, including the firecracker shrimp spring rolls (which were different than anything I'd previously had -- more shrimp than roll, with ingredients spread on the plate and all quite delicious); prosciutto and asparagus flatbread (truly, one of the highlights here, thankfully not too heavy on the Parmesan, which I prefer in very small quantity); fried mushrooms (hot, crispy, and plentiful for the bucks); Jazz'd lasagna (another flavorful standout -- except, unfortunately, a little cool in the middle, though not enough to spoil its rich flavor); Thai chicken lettuce wraps; and hummus. For wine, we went with a bottle of Brazin Old Vine Zinfandel, which we regularly enjoy. Each dish was artfully presented, and our server was attentive, personable, and thoroughly professional. We loved the dark "cellar" atmosphere. Whenever I'm back in Savannah, revisiting Jazz'd will be top priority.

The food was definitely good. The service was speedy. They provided plenty of information on special dishes, and were very accommodating to special occasions. Below were our orders. Melted Cheese Plate: Delicious assortment of cheese served with garlic bread & fresh food. I would list the cheese but I honestly don't remember them all. In short, they were all delicious (and I'm very picky about cheese). Fish Taco: Soft Taco with Sword Fish. Very satisfied, my wife and shared. Spinach Artichoke Dip: Nuff said. Well done! Oh ...and we were fortunate to have an awesome musician killing it on guitar!

Here's the good news. The food here is good. Everything we ordered by top notch. The bad news is that the place only takes reservations for "large" groups. Also, that seems to be what they do -- cater to and serve large groups. Since we (the two of us) could not make a reservation, we were told a "30 to 40 minute wait." After an hour, and only because we became vocal about not being seated, we were given a table. Here's the real problem. The hostess knows what delays to expect. Only give an estimate on the high side, i.e. tell a customer it will be an hour and make sure it's less than an hour. It's unconscionable to have a customer wait twice as long as you're told. It's simply bad management, and, as a consequence, we would never return. Food cannot make up for terrible front-end service. Simple solution for Jazz'd ... take reservations.

Wow wow wow. I do need to say that this was one of my favorite places in Savannah. Sorry to begin with the negative, but the decor felt a little outdated; and I hated the carpeted floors. The band that showed up was not great. I expected a jazz band and these guys crawled out of the 70's pop era. Now on to what everyone really cares about, food and service. The service was excellent. We had a wonderful waitress who, despite our very large party, was kind, accurate, and very sweet. It was a little slow, but we did have a bachelorette party of 13 girls. I split the tapas for two and my oh my was it a ton of food. We started out with the black bean soup which was a little strong, but still a decent flavor. I think a little bit of sour cream or cheese would have helped. The Creole Tomato dip was phenomenal. The spicy sauce went beautifully with the goat cheese. We tried a friends fried mushrooms, again... Delicious. The salsa they used for the mushrooms was absolutely incredible and the mushrooms would have been a little bland without it. We also had the calamari which I would say was average. Another yummy plate was the lamb chops, they were cooked to absolute perfection; slightly pink on the inside and very juicy. My major negative of all of the plates was the BBQ shrimp and grits. I was not at all impressed. The salsa was sub par and just didn't marry well with the grits. We then followed the tapas up with dessert. I had the creme brÃ»lÃ©e. It unfortunately only had 2 small slices of strawberry which was a little disappointing, but still pleasing. The portions were huge, and having lived in Spain for years, they were much larger than actual tapas. Four tapas was overall just too much food, but since I like to try everything I enjoyed it. I would say three could eat comfortably off of that tapas for two deal. Overall, I loved this place. It had a large selection of dishes and wasn't overwhelming. My recommendation would be, smaller portions for less so people can truly enjoy and sample more tapas. I was just sad I couldn't afford to try another 5 or 6 plates. :-) In response to the comments from the owners, we did not mention the shrimp and grits to our waitress because it may have been a personal preference more than anything. As far as the drinks are concerned, I had a bottle of wine (not by myself obviously) but it was at a great price point of $24! The other girls did try a few of the other drinks and from their reactions they seemed to enjoy them. It's nice to hear back from the owners. It shows that you care and are concerned with the experiences of your guests. Kudos! Again, I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and I would make it a point to visit again next time I'm in Savannah. I'd also recommend it to anyone visiting.

Nice atmosphere, enjoyable music, potent drinks A stylish basement-level location in the historic district. Beautiful interior with a long serpentine bar, and a large dining area. We stopped by twice, and each time the music was very decent (lounge-style performance, male singers). One or two couples were dancing in the lounge area. Drinks are a little unnuanced but tasty and potent. We tried two tapas, both of which were excellent. Service was brisk and cordial. Great spot in a great going-out district. We'll definitely return on our next visit to the city.

Best meal I had in Savannah. I'm glad I held off for birthday to enjoy it. The selections were wide and all great... A total of 6 tapas shared between the hubby and me. We started with the she-crab soup and house salad, which were excellent. Take it from an indecisive and picky Gemini.

Jay J.

Great Place to eat. Wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Restaurant is in a basement, but the dÃ©cor makes it neat place to eat. There was live music (vocalist doing Rat Pack material). Had the best lamb chops I've eaten in a long time. They were so good our table ordered an extra 2 orders in the middle of our dinner. The lasagna was good. We enjoyed the mushrooms...enough for 2. Also had the Caesar salad...again more than enough for two. Food portions are excellent. Drinks from the bar were very good. Great, Great, Great value. Service was good.....highly recommend Jazz'd

Eva F.

They have great tapas in this place!! We shared a combination that gave you 2 appetizer, 3 main tapas, and two desserts between the three of us and that was more than enough. I especially remember the creme brÃ»lÃ©e! The live music is not amazing but adds a cozy factor to your experience at jazz'd!

We visit for the 1st time on valentine's day. Loved the food and the service. The bar was awesome too. Very good drinks. I recommend this restaurant and will come back for sure. This tapas restaurant is not the regular tapas you are thinking of. There is plenty of food on this plates. We started with the spring salad absolutely delicious and the chorizo sliders are very tasty and the teriyaki steak with augratin potatoes was to die for and last but not least the dessert. loved this place

Ken C.

We went tonight, and it was bad. Both my wife and I felt sick afterwards. The food was subpar, greasy, just blech. The atmosphere is very nice, cool artwork and a jazz singer. But that can't make up for the BAD food. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Ben S.

We ate at Jazz on recommendation from the bartender at the Hyatt Regency's lounge, Vu. The bartender recommended three places to go, but this was the first she mentioned and she said she had been herself. We easily found it within walking distance of the Hyatt. To get to the restaurant you have to descend a stairway that goes below sidewalk level. The restaurant below obviously is then not blessed with natural light. It was painted all black, lit dimly, and decorated with bright paintings. That may sound bad, but it really is a nice combination of decor. Our server was really nice. She helped us through the ordering process as we said it was our first time and she said not all of the tapas portions were created equally. We went with the Tapas for 2 for $60 which includes a soup or salad each, plus two tapas each, plus 1 dessert each. It's definitely a deal price wise, but be hungry! These are bigger tapas than I've ever experienced; it's a ton of food! I enjoyed the flavor of all our selections. One issue: the pork tenderloin was fatty. It was so fatty in fact some of the pieces I was served were completely fat in that your fork slid right through it like it was a piece of jello.

Small bar. Horrible set up. Went for live music and weren't able to sit at tables unless you ordered food. It was 10pm they weren't busy. Were forced to sit on couch which seemed like the waiting area while there were many empty tables. Couldn't see the band from the couch area. Made no sense. The bar itself was really nice. Drink selection was good. Has potential but set up sucked.

Absolutely wonderful! My boyfriend and I dined there late on a Monday evening and ordered 4 plates: hummus, the roaster tomato with goat cheese, fish tacos and cakes. All were good but I would highly recommend the tomatoes with goat cheese and the crab cakes- phenomenal! The other two were simple and while good, there are many other options to get there that seemed unique that I will go back and try next time! We sat at the bar and out service was great and we never had to ask for everything twice.

Stephanie R.

Came here with a large group for a bachelorette dinner. Service was great, and everyone raved about the food. My only complaint is that the room they sat us in was really quiet (no music); really needs its own speaker. One of our beef dishes was also not very good, bland and chewey. All in all very good though. The Martinis were dangerously delicious; I think my strawberry shortcake was about one of the most delicious things ever! Definitely tasted like cake. It's hard to find places that will accommodate such a large group with ease; would definitely recommend.

Paul S.

After several hours of walking through the beautiful streets of historic Savannah, my wife and I were about to pass out from heat stroke when we stumbled into this super-cool oasis. Located below street level, it was dark, inviting and surprisingly very affordable. We just needed a place to enjoy an adult beverage or two. It met all our needs, as we stopped in a couple places before finding Jazz'd. Those places were either crowded, noisy, hot or even smelly. This place was the opposite of all that. The icing on the cake was that on Tuesday evenings they sell bottles of wine for 12.00 bucks. We had just eaten a large late lunch so we did not try the Tapas, but trust me, we will be back the next time we are in Savannah.

Good service. For us, the food was just ok. Glad they have a lot of vegetarian options, but my salad had waaaay too much dressing on it. The baked cheese platter was yummy and indulgent.

Mark D.

Having already eaten at our hotel, we asked the server where we could just get some drinks and listen to jazz, and she suggested Jazz'd. As we walked in there was no one to greet us. We sat at a table by the bar and no one came to take our order. Eventually had to contact the bartender directly. There was no jazz, just an ok piano playing lounge singer who was at least trying to show some enthusiasm. Don't know if it's me looking out of place because I'm older, or was dressed too warmly, because it was cool out, and I'm from South Florida...but it just seemed like this place maybe caters to hipsters from SCAD....so I didn't get a very good impression and I feel the jazz clubs I've been to in South Florida are much friendlier and accommodating and actually offer jazz as advertised.

Patti K.

Stopped in here on a Saturday night. The food was decent but pretty underwhelming. I had a Mango Mojito and it was so sweet i could hardly drink it. The awesome music made up for it. We went in when Bottles & Cans were playing and they were amazing! Would def go back to see them or other bands.

Dan S.

The food is very rich! If you're on a diet, stay away. Do not expect Spanish Tapas! The Shrimp and Grits were fabulous. She Crab soup is wonderful but very creamy and could benefit from a side of bread. The fish tacos are made from swordfish. Service was fabulous. The owner checked in with us a few times and we felt well taken care of. The live music was delightful. Eddie played jazzed up versions of songs from Tony Bennet to Coldplay. The volume was perfects so we didn't have to raise our voices to have a conversation. The bread pudding dessert was one of the best I've ever had.

This place is truly wonderful... -...wonderful ambiance (we scored a table in a semi-private alcove, which was great for conversation with the music in the background); -...truly caring and professional staff (manager came to apologize for what was really a very small wait in the beginning; server was warm and efficient, but not obtrusive); -...absolutely delicious food; varied offerings, with a selection of gluten-free options as well (the salmon was scrumptious). And to top it off, they presented a small split of champagne to the couple in our party celebrating their engagement. Jazz'd really made our family get-together special!
(5)
Michael H.

Meh. Tapas is one of those "in vogue" cuisines that a lot of places do, but few places do it well. And sadly, Jazz'd was not that jazzed. My wife and I both agreed that the dishes were OK, but everything felt 'bland' on the flavor scale. It was a bit like they didn't want to take any chances by really spicing things up, and instead opted to keep everything "mild". For foodies like us, this was tantamount to taste bud boredom. The place was packed, and this tells me that they're catering to their niche well and probably not motivated to change. I don't think I'd go back for that reason.
(2)
Jaycie H.

Let me say, this place is as legit as it gets! I've had several of their martinis, the green apple being my favorite so far. I sit at the bar itself when I go. The staff is great and knowledgeable. My husband and I had the bruschetta appetizer once which was very tasty. Both times we've been there's been live Jazz music which was very pleasant! Can't wait to go again!

We were expecting something different. The food was good, but it was mostly "infused" dishes. We were expecting a more authentic tapas restaurant. If you are too, then this isn't authentic Spanish tapas. The artichoke salad and crab soup were amazing! The cheese dish was ok. Some other reviewers raved about it, it was ok bit no cheeses that were really special. We also ordered beef tips and steak. Both were very oddly seasoned. We won't order again. Finally the shrimp spring rolls were good, again a different Asian taste, but good. We got the tapas for two and finished our meal with a chocolate tort and creme brÃ»lÃ©e. Both were fantastic. It was at least a great way to finish our meal!!

Wow. EVERYTHING was amazing. The tapas for 2 is a steal. Best lamb chops of my life. The crab stew was amazing! The shrimp roll, escargot, steak, everything! In Love with this place! Seriously best place in savannah

Great non-traditional tapas with a bit of Asian-fusian thrown in for fun. We had steak skewers, firecracker shrimp, and ahi tuna. I loved the cucumber martini. Our server was professional and friendly.

Food is absolutely amazing! The tapas style is fantastic in that it allows you to try a few good items instead of just one. The waitstaff was not good at all. I had to flag our waitress down just for another glass of wine and it seems that she only has two tables and I saw her helping to deliver food to a table I know wasn't her's and yet still had to flag her down to pay attention to her actual table. Don't let this deter you from coming and enjoy the atmosphere and food though! Maybe she was having a bad night!

I tried several places while on my weekend trip to Savannah and this place was hands down the best. The food was amazing and the prices were also.

Birthday Eve dinner at Jazz'd was great! We loved the atmosphere in a renovated basement space. It was open, yet still intimate for our romantic dinner. We were seated fairly close to the guy providing live music for the night. He was very good. Our server was especially friendly, and we liked that she stopped what she was doing to clap for the musician to show support and get diners involved. The chorizo empanadas were big and well-flavored, a good choice to get something filling on the table. We also had some shrimp and scallop skewers, which were very good. The Cuban rubbed beef satays ... we wished we'd had more. The sesame tuna was average. The bar area looked like it would be fun for a more casual evening out. The location is very convenient in the historic district and a short walk to lots of other bars and entertainment options.

I don't know how it took me so very long to get around to reviewing Jazz'd, which has long been more or less a go-to favorite of mine in Savannah. Mind you, I say this as someone who lived in Savannah a number of years in the 2000s and not just a tourist, either. The atmosphere--in what I believe was the cafeteria of an old Kress department store before Jazz'd renovated this basement space--is lovely, romantic, and engaging. The bar itself is very well-designed and a fun place to sit even for a meal if alone or there's just two of you. Locals do this all the time: if there's a wait for tables, see if they can take you at the bar. Trae Gurley sings Sinatra's songbook on Thursdays and he's worth hearing if you like old standards; seriously, this guy is top-notch. Dishes I like: --the chorizo empanadas --the black bean soup --the baked cheese terra-cotta plate --the pork loin back ribs Dishes I don't care for: --the seafood paella (too small, seafood often kinda tough) --the chicken lettuce wraps (it seems like a knock-off of something P.F. Chang's would do and isn't as good, either) Keep in mind that with something like the paella, this may have been a one-time issue. Any restaurant can get something over-done. Anyone can. That includes the likes of Le Cinq, even. Those empanadas are decently-sized and rather filling. They're a good choice to round out plates of tapas that are less-filling so you don't leave hungry. Things like the lamb or the stuffed flounder are too small in serving size to warrant getting honestly: these dishes would serve better as full-scale dishes as they are in most places prepared. They are just not ideal for tapas type service. The desserts are ok but nothing great. I'd go elsewhere for dessert most of the time or just have a couple drinks, my favorites being their mojitos and the lemon wheel martini. While the menu has changed a little over the years, what's on it now is more or less how it was back in 2006. My beloved chicken wings with their awesome special sauce seem to only be a now and then special whereas they used to be a menu staple, but otherwise not many changes. You can read that two ways: what they're doing has worked nearly a decade now, which is great but is it innovative? Not so much. Not anymore. Still, overall it's good and the service is always great. Like, they seriously try to please and even though it gets very busy they stay on top of things. It gets loud here. If you don't like "loud", come early and even if you're with your wife, say it's a business dinner and ask to be seated somewhere quiet and they'll do their best. Overall a great dining experience in Savannah. Open seven days a week which is really cool, too.

I can't even tell you how amazing this place is. I went with a group of 3 and each of us had 3 dishes. My bill came to around 28$. We all tried all of our dishes and no lie i think that was a perfect way to go. They were all small dishes which made it perfect to go afterwards for drinks because we weren't overly stuffed. Fav Plates: - Tuna with sesame seeds (light and delicious) - Flank steak Yakitori (in a sweet citrus sauce) - Mushrooms with chorizo (baked to perfection) - Bruschetta ( very fresh tomatoes with balsamic glaze) - Baked Cheeses ( roasted garlic, grapes and green apples)

Incredible taste and wide selection. The ambiance in this below street level restaurant is great. Fantastic bar with wide selection. We are at a bar table. Michelle was our server and was informative, suggestive, and efficient. We had the braised lamb chops, escargot in a tomato and garlic sauce, and a Mediterranean flatbread. A few martinis and glass of wine was perfect. The chocolate torte with a glass of amaretto finished the night. Best $100 I've spent at a restaurant.

Katie R.

This is absolutely, hands down, my favorite restaurant in Savannah. The Terra Cotta Cheese plate is phenomenal and I find myself craving the platter regularly. I've had the lettuce chicken wraps (Asian style, and very good), crab cakes, and a dish that was a cut of beef on a potato cake and all of those have been good as well. If you do make it to Jazz'd I would encourage a reservation (beware, the largest group they can take is 22 I believe) and to must try the cheese plate!

So good! I went w my friend , we ordered the she crab soup ( my first she crab soup ever) so delish, shrimp and grits, also delish and fish tacos - yum!!! I actually am on my last night in savannah and was looking to see if there was another restaurant I should try but couldn't stop thinking about that meal so I am going there again tonight!! Mm mm - she crab soup....

Great atmosphere, excellent tapas menu. 5 Onion Soup was hearty and rich without being too salty. Black Bean soup was perfection. Fish Tacos, BBQ Shrimp w/ grits, and Lasagna all excellent; complex flavors and generous portions. The Tapas for Two dinner is incredible value. Live music was excellent. Will definitely return if we visit Savannah again!

This place was absolutely awesome! I came to Savannah for a girls weekend trip and this was, by far, the best place we ate the entire time. The food was amazing and the staff was courteous and really nice. I recommended it to all of my friends as soon as I got home as well as to my family/friends that live in Savannah and had never been. Can't wait to have a reason to go back!

Monica A.

I only go to Restaurants 4 stars and so I chose this place. Courteous staff but food was just above good, no more/no less. The portions were bigger than traditional tapas and my expectations were geared towards the traditional. It was a Monday night so no live entertainment. But the bar has nothing to view either. Even a muted television would have given this place more life. I am a visitor and cant say i would come here again or recommend it, for the mere fact it was lacking a wow appeal, both in atmosphere and food. It was literally just above ok.

We've actually dined at Jazz'd back in 2008 and always have remembered having a great meal there. So this past weekend, when trying to figure out where to have a late dinner (after a carriage ride tour), we decided to revisit Jazz'd. We weren't disappointed. It was around 9 PM and 4 of us in the party. We were seated immediately. The place was pretty packed with live music playing. The atmosphere was great. We tried 8 tapas total. My favorites were the prosciutto wrapped scallops, the pork chops, and their special, German pot roast. We also tried several cocktail drinks, I especially like the mango mojito. Overall, we had a great time. The music was not overly loud so that we can still chit chat while enjoying the music. The food was yummy... I am sure the next time we go to Savannah, it would be likely that we'll revisit Jazz'd.

Went here the other night to hear my neighbor play the sax. The atmosphere is smooth and the cool like a hole in the wall you'd find in Norleans. The service was fast and friendly and the drinks were a solid pour; the kind that make you start swaying to the musica de la noche. The food was good and full of flavor, making me want to come back for more. Plenty of seating and even if you have to wait, you'll have a good time listening to the music and drinking a beverage of choice.

This is a wonderful underground well stocked bar with fresh food and tasty drinks. I've been here several times now and tried almost all the martinis. I have to say, there's definitely one for everybodys taste, sweet, tangy, fruity, sour, etc. My favorite though is the Apple martini, served with a nice crisp thin slice of granny smith apple in the glass. The atmosphere is chill, and can be good for a group, or a drink with a special someone. There's multiple seating options, bar, table, and a sofa lounge area, all with low mood lighting. There's live music on the weekends, which is always great. Overall this is a great place to get some drinks and light food at night. While the drinks are a little on the pricey side, and they did take away mini martinis, I;d still say it's worth it. Go here! You won't regret it.

Tommy G.

I've been to Jazz'd a handful of times, and the customer service is always paired well with exquisite food. I enjoyed the grilled salmon, shrimp and grits and coca cola pork ribs with a mango mojito. Buenisimo! Tues through sun has live performances by local musicians. Great for dates.

This place is 4.5 stars. The food is excellent. There is a lot of variety and different types of tapas. I love tapas so much more than a boring dinner, so this is perfect for me. The jazz band is wonderful (had there been dancing, I would have picked 5 stars). If you want an entertain dinner, go here. You can dress up as if you were going to a fine dining restaurant, but it's not stuffy. It's has a relaxing a social atmosphere instead.

Found this place while in savannah on vacation a few weeks ago and stepped in for some tapas and a few bottles of wine. Everything we ordered was very good and so was the live music. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the music so much we ended up closing the place down.

If you want diarrhea for days be my guest! The only thing this place has going for it is the live music and good service...not enough for me to want to spend 100 dollars for two people for grade f meat that tasted like it was cooked three days prior and they just reheated it in the microwave. I also got a fever five hours later and some pretty bad diarrhea... no thanks! Never again!

Good food (had the shrimp grits and crabcakes). The crabcakes were a little dense for my liking but to each his own. Loved the live jazz. The downside is that there is no dance floor. But that doesn't stop people from dancing. I saw four couples grooving about. I do wonder how the musicians feel with the audience dancing nearly in their laps. But hey, if I were them, I'll be ecstatic that people were enjoying my music. Love the vibe here! And their kitchen opens late!

After a long day of sightseeing (while looking for the Forrest Gump bench that was removed a while ago, weird, why is it still on the map then?) and walking along Broughton Street, we were ready for a good meal before we end our journey in Savannah. Feeling for tapas? Let's check out Jazz'd then. This is a funky restaurant located in the basement underneath Gap clothing. Aside from the loud music, there weren't many people. However, we certainly amazed by the cool arts on the wall, the unique wine storage at the bar and the overall settings. Our orders were huge disappointment. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes?? After all, this was just my opinion. The SHE crab stew was too salty and we were hoping that the other 3 dishes would score later. Naw way! Are you serious?? The sliced portobello mushrooms with white wine, butter, fresh minced garlic and grape tomatoes tasted way better than the poached escargot, which served as the main attention here. There was nothing special or crazy about the lemon capers tilapia. To me, it was just an average bland fish dish. However, the chevre & proschiutto shrimp saved the day in the end! I have to admit they have a really cool website. It would be a great hang out place with friends with live jazz or blues music. But, you might want to eat somewhere else prior to the show.

Great find on our trip to Savannah. Chef not willing to make adjustments to items. Otherwise, atmosphere was cool, a little noisy, but it does have great live music. We had the hummus (four pieces of pita not enough, had to request more and there is a charge), lettuce wraps had great sauce, salmon was very tasty with broccoli, and lambchops were fantastic. An extensive list of Martinis but no beer on tap.

I had been wanting to dine at Jazz'd since moving to Savannah and decided to dine here for my birthday the other night. I knew by the menu that it was going to be a more "american" style tapas as opposed to Spanish style. Our waitress also explained the same thing. We decided on the tapas for 2 for $65. My husband had the Cesar salad and loved, I had the jazzd spring mix salad and I was just as happy. We got the firecracker shrimp, Cuban quesadillas, tenderloin beef tips and pork tenderloin. We actually enjoyed the two lighter tapas most, the shrimp and quesadilla. Everything was fabulous though. My meat favorite was the beef tips. They were in a gravy with an extremely strong blue cheese flavor. We are fans of blue cheese but it was a little overwhelming. We got the flourless chocolate tart and bread pudding for dessert. Both were very vey good but we were so full we could not finish it. I also had a sangria which I loved and absolutely recommend. It had muddled fruit on the bottom which was really flavorful. The atmosphere was comfortable and hip. Although pretty dead at 6:30 pm on a weekday. The service was fabulous. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. The live music was a young woman playing acoustic guitar and singing lovey songs. Her voice was great but I was really really hoping for more of jazz style live music. I gave Jazz'd five stars because it served us very well. I wanted a tapas restaurant with good sangrias, great food, quick friendly service and live music.

Lisa S.

The host of the BnB where we stayed recommended we try Jazz'd. So glad we did. We had the Tapas for Two. The She Crab soup was very creamy and much like a bisque. Our four tapas choices were Firecracker Spring Rolls, Mediterranean lamb Chops, Steak Diane, and, my favorite, Shrimp and Grits. It would take too much space to describe each one -- suffice it to say this was the best meal I had in Savannah and one of the best I have had any where. We chose creme brulee and bread pudding for dessert. The bread pudding was as good as my own and the creme brulee was as delicious as the creme brulee my husband makes. Not only was the food phenomenal, the waitstaff was very helpful and courteous, the restaurant was exceptionally clean and the entertainment (on Thursday night, at least) was excellent. If I lived in or near Savannah, this would be a restaurant I would frequent regularly. So glad we were able to experience this Savannah jewel.

Julie Z.

My boyfriend took me here as a surprise for our first night in Savannah. Everything was excellent. The restaurant service is impeccable and you can tell all the waitstaff operates with the utmost professionalism. Food is served as tapas style. My boyfriend ordered a soup and I got a salad. We split the terra cotta cheese plate which we completely annihilated and almost licked the plate (seriously not kidding) stop reading the rest of this review and order the cheese plate already! For our main entree I ordered lamb chops which were cooked perfectly medium rare with a Mediterranean rub. He ordered the Cuban quesadilla which was also excellent. Cocktails were great and I must say I'm a lady that is picky about my Manhattan. Live music and great ambiance. This place is great for couples or groups of friends. I 100% recommend this restaurant and plan on returning.

Kathy D.

Small plates style dining with live entertainment. Thought it would be a nice place to go during a recent trip to Savannah for a large group. Most of our party coupled up and decided to do the eat for Two for $60 which seemed like a better deal. You get 2 soup or salad, 4 tapas, and 2 desserts of your choice. My bf and I ordered she crab soup, chorizo sliders, ginger shrimp and scallops, steak tataki skewers, and roasted beef shoulder. We also all shared dishes within the party so I got to try a bite or two of their dishes like the BBQ shrimp and grits, Thai chicken lettuce wraps, crab cakes, escargot, coca cola pork ribs, and lamb chops. I would say the food was mediocre, nothing outstanding to rave about. However, the she crab soup was excellent and creamy. The lamb chops was the best out of all the tapas. Overall a good place for big groups and to have a few cocktails, but don't come here if you want an intimate conversation over dinner as it can get quite loud from the live band. I mean it is a Tapas Bar.

Angela Y.

The lamp chops are juicy and flavorful. The setting is romantic but the live music can be hard for tables to talk. I do not recommend for first dates during live music nights since you cannot hear the other person without shouting. Order one plate if you're a skinny food hater, order two plates if you're an average food lover, and order three plates if you just love food too much. Caution: the terra cotta cheese plate can cause horrible breath and does not taste great.

Jessica T.

I would have loved to enjoyed a nice dinner and drink here on my birthday, however we were "greeted" at the door and told to leave, because my boyfriend had on a sleeveless shirt...He was told he was under dressed for this "swanky" spot. Seriously, it is the heat of summer and hot as blazes outside. There is zero parking, so we had to walk in the hot sun to even get there. Give me a break. Pretentious and stuffy. Does not belong in a laid back spot like Savannah. We walked a block to a lovely sushi restaurant and had a much better meal.

It's hard to get 5 stars from me as there is always room for improvement. But Jazz'd is a fun place and the food is good and the escargot in tomato is so good it will make your eyes roll in the back of your head. We also had the lamb, which was tasty but the star of the dish were the potatoes, and the fried calamari. The calamari was good by they serve it in a bowl where the oil pools at the bottom and makes some of the fried food soggy from the oil. Nice people and good service top it off. We went on "Sinatra" night as that is the only night we had open. If you have another night to hear some variety of jazz, I would opt for that night. The singer wasn't bad but it was too much Sinatra for us plus his accompanying music was on an iPhone!! For that night, I would have preferred a live band or variety of singers. It's worth it for the food though.
(4)
Courtney E.

Jazz'd is almost a 5 star place in my book but there are a couple of things keeping me from that last star. First off, we almost always get the tapas for 2. It's a great deal (especially with the savannah menu discount) and leaves us stuffed. Some of my favorites are the cheese plate, lamb chops, and tuna wontons. Now the slight negatives, the service is never great it's always good but seems rushed and the servers don't check up as often as needed. Second is the bar, if you're ordering something off their drink menu it's good but if you order something off menu (i.e. a manhattan) the bar fumbles through and the result is never that great. All that being said, the negatives aren't that big of a deal to keep me away. They have an extensive menu and I look forward to trying one or two new things every time I come.

Wow! The escargot stuffed tomato has the most delicious herby buttery lemony sauce I've ever tasted! Amazing. Andouille crawfish cakes were flavorful but a little dry. She crab soup to die for. Flourless chocolate torte heavenly!

Renee M.

I liked the appearance of this place. The ambience was great, the bathrooms were really clean and we enjoyed the live entertainment. The bartender was attentive and checked on us constantly. The food was good, but I think it's too over priced for what it was. The dishes were really small, so we had to order food again twice because our first three dishes still left us hungry, so therefore we ended up spending way more than we planned. Lesson learned, I probably won't come here again if I'm hungry, but I'll be back again to enjoy some drinks at the bar!

My husband and I were in Savannah this weekend. We had been to Jazz'd on our last visit over a year ago and enjoyed it enough to want to go back this time. Ok...I remember enjoying it, not moaning like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally". Everything we tried was killer. The Not Yo Moma's Street Tacos were so flavorful I could have eaten 5. The Caprese Flatbread = POW. I could have this everyday. I think we had something else but honestly...food blur. I DO know we ended with Chicken Cheesesteak Eggrolls. Dear Lord. They were amazing. Everything was....so much so - we went back the next night. We NEVER do that! The only thing we repeated was the eggrolls but my husband is still talking about the ribs. Seriously! Don't miss this place. It's worth it!

Chris M.

First time eating at Jazz'd and also first time in Savannah. Chose to eat there based on Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. Had 3 entrees/dishes and dessert. The orange pork, Thai chicken wraps, and shrimp and grits were all good but the pork was the best of the 3. My only complaints are that shrimp were scorched and didn't appear very burnt but definitely tasted it and the orange pork didn't have much of an orange flavor but it was still tasty. Bread pudding for dessert was a definite treat and really swung the entire experience into a 4th star. Service was very good. She made good recommendations and checked on us regularly. The live acoustic music may have truly been the highlight because the 2 ladies playing were amazing and definitely added to a uniquely fun environment. All in all, a good dining experience that I would recommend to others and would enjoy again, especially if the musicians are the same!

Our local friends are regulars here and brought us while we were in town. We went for drinks but all ended up getting actual food-food. I had the Fire Roasted Beef Shoulder Tender, as recommended by our waiter Jeff. I loved them! Cooked perfectly and were juicy as all get out. Tried my friend's lamb chops and they were tasty as well. The place had a pretty decent bar selection, our waiter (again, Jeff) was pleasant and prompt, and the food came out quickly. The live singer was fun to have around; his voice is pretty amazing. All around good time and great food!

The C.

Regionally, I'd probably give this 5 stars as it has some of the most creative dishes and drinks in the area. The chorizo sliders are amazing as are the truffle frites. The chevre creole tomato dip could use some work. It has too much of a generic marinara flavor and the crustinis are heavily buttered but the chevre was amazingly well done. The Muenster Tartaflette was also kind of dissapointing. The bacon overpowered the whole dish and it tasted more like something you get at a comfort food restaurant. The bartender made a mean Manhattan but I wouldn't recommend the Jazz'd Manhattan unless you love fireball whiskey because that is what it tasted like. Overall, my experience was good and I would definitely come back.

Michele M.

We had a fabulous time. The wine was perfect. The tapas were incredible. Tacos were very tasty. Martini Marinated tenderloin tips were to die for. Perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth.

My group of four friends had dinner here this past Thursday evening, and we loved the ambiance. For dinner, I started with the French Onion soup which was fantastic. I shared the mussels, shrimp & grits, steak diane and the lamb chops with a friend. The only food related disappointment was the mussels, they tasted "off" and were a bit gritty. We hoped that we could catch a good show while getting dinner, but the performer that evening was sub-par and a bit depressing. We found ourselves getting sleepy and decided to leave rather than stay and continue to listen to him. The service was great, and the mussel situation was handled quickly and even the manager came by to apologize for them.

Jessica C.

Getting 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt like the food was over priced. The food was good but I felt like the tapas should have been 2 or 3 dollars less. The food and atmosphere was really nice but the music was loud so it made it hard to talk to people.

Maleeha M.

Good food, good ambiance. The jazzd salad with candied pecans was huge and delicious. We had the tapas for two. The terra cotta cheese plate and firecracker shrimp were delicious. The deserts were just ok. The creme brÃ»lÃ©e left much to be desired. Overall, a good experience.

Morgan W.

Great service, variety, and mood. She Crab Soup was tasty but not hot, merely luke warm, lamb chops ordered rare came out medium, and a second salmon dish was sent out when tuna was ordered. Tapas are a fun way to experience new and interesting food, Jazz'd is a good place for that...however more attention to detail will bump this place up a notch.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. You cannot go wrong going here! Our favorite dishes are the terra cotta plate, marinated beef tenderloin, and the pesto salad. And the live music is great too! Our favorite musician sounds just like frank Sinatra. I believe he's there on Thursdays. Great ambience and good service. Only complaint is that each time we have ordered chefs specials, the food is just eh. Happened a few times so we just don't order them anymore. So stick to the menu and you will not be disappointed!

Genea S.

my husband and i ate here on our last night after a week in savannah. I chose this restaurant based on yelp reviews and was not disappointed. service: our server was very nice. she even let us move tables when we wanted a better view of the lounge singer (who was very talented, btw). she recommended good dishes and brought our food promptly. she also brought us extra bread when I lamented that the last dish we ordered didn't come with bread. food: I would kill a person to eat that melted cheese platter again. no joke. i'm serious... I'll probably dream about it for months. we also ordered one of the specials -- a lamb medallion dish with a chutney on top. Finally, we had lamb chops but they didn't compare to the lamb with the chutney and I wish we had ordered something else, but they were still good. the toasted baguette was delicious. this place looks trendy, which worried me for food quality. but it isn't pretentious once you are inside. Portion sizes are good (especially for tapas). As food quality snobs, I am amazed at how much we loved it. This is a must visit for date night (leave the kids at home as minors are not allowed.)

Food was fabulous. Coming from CA, I found it reasonably priced. Atmosphere was weird. The lay-out of the place kind of makes you feel like you're never settled. Like a loft but below street level with the non-chained-to-the-wall tables kind of strewn all over the place to accommodate as many as possible. Our server was fabulous - serving tapas to large groups is not an easy thing to do I'm sure. The layout was probably my biggest thing in terms of areas of improvement. The weekend we went there were three bachelorette parties, and I was with one of them. Seems to be a trendy spot and a bit of a wait, even with a reservation. The live music was nice but I couldn't see anyone playing it. Do we take off points for that?

Whoa buddy... where do I start? This was an after party stop during our weekend out at The Crawl of the South, and I was not expecting much (I have been ruined by Ovinte in Jax). Boy was I wrong! The atmosphere is casual, cozy, hip, and intimate all at the same time--you pick how you want it to be. The wine selection is good (not great, but they have some good ones), and the tapas are as delicious as they are imaginative. My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) is that our server didn't know anything about wine (but I was thankful that she said so, as opposed to just winging it). That being said, it is not an insurmountable dent. I would highly, highly recommend that you stop in here if you like (a) good food, (b) good wine, and/or (c) good music.

The food was fantastic! The drinks were average and the music was a little loud but it's worth it for the food. We had the chorizo sliders. They were spicy and had a good sauce on them. We also got the caprese flatbread, which my boyfriend loved and talked about all night. We went a little late and it was full, make a reservation if you can.

We went here for our anniversary on valentine's day and even for being a holiday we were sat in a very timely manner. We ordered the tapas for 2 and were not disappointed. So much food that we ended up taking some home. For a tapas restaurant the portions were huge.

For tapas they have the biggest portions as it's a little americanized. The only word I can think of is Wow! The cheese platter is the best cheese platter I've ever had. The 2 for $60 is a wonderful deal if you're really hungry. My roommate loves the 5 onion soup. My hubby loves the beef shoulder on potatoes and is actually pretty amazing as I had a bite and I don't normally go for red meat at all but it was very favorful. I also have tried the mushroom ratatouille and omg....YES!! Tastes as good as the lady feels in the herbal essence commercials.

Went to Jazz'd at 4 on a Tuesday and had a great experience! We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and talked to an employee outside who recommended we try the calamari and then let us in for drinks 10 minutes early. The entire staff was very friendly. The place is gorgeous, a great atmosphere! I will definitely be going back! The Drinks: I had the Citrus & Basil Sour Martini and highly recommend it! It was only slightly sour but not too sweet either, with a warm basil finish. My husband had the Sazerac and it was perfectly done, the bartender burns a lemon over the glad to add a burnt lemon scent and slight taste to the drink. This extra touch was not only delicous but also fun to watch. A friend ordered a Dark and Stormy and it was also perfectly mixed. The Food: My husband and I split 3 tapas: calamari, thai chicken lettuce wraps, and firecracker shrimp spring rolls. All three dishes were amazing! The calamari was the best we've ever eaten so I highly recommend that! The lettuce wraps are served cold and are spicy but we'll balanced. The spring rolls are local shrimp and fresh basil wrapped and fried served over a cucumber salad with a sweet/spicy sauce and again was perfectly balanced. I also tried a bite of a friend's Cuban Quesadilla which was delicious! The plates are larger than most tapas, so perfect for sharing a few or eating one as a light meal. The bartender (who also took our food order) was very accommodating and answered all our questions about the food and had no problem with us ordering the calamari without peppers underneath.

We stumbled across Jazz'd on our way to another restaurant, and the place seemed too good to pass up. Jazz and Blues, and the menu looked great. We went in and they were playing 80s pop music - not the music I expected, but the decor was cool. We ordered martinis (mine was a gin martini), Creole Tomato Dip, Jalapeno BBQ Shrimp & Grits, Coca-Cola Pork Ribs, & Steak Tataki Skewers. The martinis were okay - not the best, but not the worst. The tomato dip was a good start, a little spice and I liked the cheese on it. The ribs were pretty good, slightly overcooked, but tasty. That's where the good ends. The shrimp and grits were poorly seasoned and had what tasted like store bought bbq sauce. The steak skewers had no flavor what-so-ever. As good as the menu looked, I doubt we're going back to this restaurant unless there is a great reason (like a specific live band). I'd steer clear of this one and find a different place to dine.

If your looking to experience a multitude of international flavors, this is the place. From grilled Rosemary lamb chops to an Italian spin on ethnic spatzles carbonara, you can't go wrong. Every dish has its own identity. Sample the char crusted backend salmon served up with a mustard Demi glaze or the roasted artichoke spinach dip with fresh sliced pita. Live music completes this eclectic ambiance.

Jazz'd is a must visit when in Savannah. I was with a wedding party of 9 women, we shared 9 apps, and had Sangria's. Our bill's were 10 dollars a piece. We each got full and had a great time listening to the music. Spinach dip is a must also!! Thanks Jazz'd!

We were not very hungry so my mom and I ordered the Asparagus and Romaine Tomato with Champagne Vinaigrette plus the French Soup with cheese and a Caesar Salad! Oh boy! That asparagus and tomato dish was so delicious. The French soup was also great but could be a little warmer. The salad was good as well. We got great service and loved the ambience. The guy singing that night ( Tuesday ) is a big plus! Over all great place in Savannah!

Dodd B.

Jazz'd was the perfect dinner spot. As soon as you walk down the stairs and enter the subdued lighting of the place the sounds of live smooth jazz wash over you. Our server Courtney was spectacular in both her food suggestions as well as her wit! The food was delicious although we felt a little guilty leaving some on the table as the portions were large! The owner was gracious and engaging, and the wine and drink selections we amazing. We will definitely come back the next time in town!

Jess V.

Once again, we were not disappointed in the delicious food of this great place! They accommodated our large party and sat us in the private room as requested. Our service had some ups and downs but the owners came by to make sure we still had a great time! The shrimp and grits, cheese plate and She Crab soup is to die for!! Don't have room for dessert?! You better make room because their bread pudding is the best I've ever had!!

OMG!!!!!!! Where do I start.......I absolutely LOVE this freaking place!!!! It's been 4 years since the last time I visited, & the quality of food as well as the atmosphere, & customer service was still at it's highest peak!!!! My boyfriend & I sat at the bar, as we do MOST restaurants, b/c we just can't say "NO" to the drinks!!!! (LOL!!!) Haigan, (I hope I'm spelling your name right, so sorry in advance, if I'm not) however, was/is the BEST bartender we've had EVER!!! All he did was ASK us what type drinks we liked, & he accommodated us to the MAX!!!! Every drink was on point, refreshing, different, & SUPERIOR in flavor w/out being water downed, & super sugary!!! The food recommendations were also impeccable!!! We had the Lamb Chops, that were insanely juicy, & flavorful, the Escargot which comes served inside of a tomato, & literally melted in your mouth, they were very earthy tasting, like fresh roasted mushrooms. The chicken panacotta, was nearly gone before I could get a good forkfull, so that should let you know how delicious it was, & the caper sauce on top brings JUST the right amount of briny salt flavor that makes the difference between this chicken dish, & elsewhere. The shrimp eggrolls are light, crisp, & fresh, but the WINNER of the night was MOST DEFINITELY the CHORIZO SLIDERS!!!! The chorizo sliders are a MUST HAVE!!!! As a matter of fact,.......we ordered those twice!!!! The meat is SO tender, yet spicy & sweet, & the fresh tomato just adds a little bit of acid to cut right thru & make the flavors taste so complete!!!! I LOVE this place!!!!! I will NEVER come to Savannah, GA w/out visiting this place before I leave!!! & take it from me,..... if YOU do,......you haven't lived!!!!! :-)

Amber S.

I left so stuffed after this meal- but well worth it. My friend and i did the "tapas for two" which is a great deal. My favorite items were the cheese plate (comes on a skillet so the cheese is melty), and the desserts- bread pudding and chocolate tort. However, we also tried the pork, beef shoulder, and Thai chicken lettuce wraps. I would say everything was good, but the lettuce wraps are not recommended. The beef shoulder came on au gratin potatoes, so that was nice. The orange glaze on the pork was really good- and so the only thing that was not perfect there was the pork was pretty fatty. Our server was also terrific- so attentive and on top of things.

Interesting take on tapas. Broad range of choices ranging from Asian style to more low country. The ribs were a great choice. Food was overall good if not exciting. Service was excellent. Place was a bit dreary but this was Monday night when they don't have entertainment. Would recommend.

Jerry C.

Not a jazz club but great food and servers who were attentive but a little inexperienced. We were looking to for a light dinner, some music, and a break from the heat when we went to Jazz'd. Menu had a good range of foods and we ordered the ginger shrimp and scallops and the vodka tenderloin which were excellent. The serving staffing felt like they were a little inexperienced but made up for it with enthusiasm. I liked the atmosphere but think they would benefit from a a good hostess or more active hands on manager. I found myself thinking, unrealized potential. Hope they take service to the next level and bring in better live entertainment

What a great place to spend an evening listening to a truly great Jazz singer - Thursday night. Thank you Mr. Gurley! Real passion but easy to listen to. In addition the food, drinks and atmosphere was fantastic.

Leanne B.

My boyfriend and I were in Savannah for the night as a stop over for our road trip. We ended up going for tapas because we did not feel like a full meal. We had two items from the chef's menu (crawfish cakes and filet) and two items from the regular menu (shrimp & scallops and lamb chops). The crawfish cakes were out of this world. Warm tangy and full of flavor. The shrimp and scallops were good. They came over some mushrooms and bok choy. They flavor was a little hot. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and good. The steak was also well prepared with a good sauce and mashed potato accompaniment. For a drink i had a mango mojito. My first. It was made with love from the bartender and he put on a little show while making it. Definitely recommend this place for anyone.

Friday night, all out of crab cakes and mussels, which is basically the only thing I wanted on the menu. We stayed anyway and ordered calamari (impossible to eat with a fork or your fingers, the breading fell off), crawfish cakes (too thick, not cooked all the way through, couldn't finish even one of them), fried mushrooms (the dip was delicious but the mushrooms were average), and spinach artichoke dip (just okay). When the waitress came to take my plate of crawfish cakes and I explained that they were just not to my liking, she said that we were not the only table of hers that just weren't feeling the food tonight. The only thing I thoroughly enjoyed was the Versailles martini. Hoping this was just an "off"night for the restaurant. But, unfortunately, I won't be going back again.

Loved the tapas. Maybe too big of portions so couldn't try more. Spatzel could have used bigger hunks of prochuto but was great. Cheese was awesome. Cocktails and bar service was great.

If you were let's say person who liked to drink alcohol then you'd love this place . I however don't drink but I still like coming here just because the atmosphere is so laid back. A few things you should know 1st no kids allowed so no little Johnny can't come with you nor can anyone else who's under 18 ( per city government rules ) . 2nd they have live music ( yes it good too ) however if you're to close to the singing area you can't have a Conversation because the music is a bit loud . My wife & I learned that lesson the hard way we came here for my birthday . Oops almost forgot to review the food ( sorry) it's a tapas bar so you can pick which small dishes you'd like to share . We opted for the tapas for 2 with includes , 2 soups or salads , 4 entrÃ©es & 2 desserts. All the dishes were incredible like they've been each and every time we've come before. If you're looking for a place to get in some adult time and not have to worry about screaming babies ( I can say that since I have a child) then stop on in .

Went on a Saturday night and they had a great live band doing 90s and 00s covers- can't go wrong with that! Enjoyed all tapas- and the waitress gave us some great recommendations. The petite filet special was amazing, as were the ginger shrimp and scallops, firecracker spring roll, etc ...I would stay away from the Carbonara- it was bland in comparison. Great place to hang out for a girls night
(4)
Ravyn P.

Everything we ordered was amazing! They have a lot of options on the menu and since its tapas, you can try a little bit of everything! This is more of a cocktail bar rather than a beer joint though. See a great place for a date. They have live music at 9pm

Mary K.

Get the tapas for two!! It's a great deal and it's hard to choose since everything sounds so good. We went with the terra cotta cheese (amazing!), BBQ shrimp and grits (honestly not the best, too many flavors going on that didn't really mesh), lasagna (very good), and beef shoulder (delicious and so tender). Each person gets their choice of a soup or salad to start and the most amazing dessert at the end. The chocolate chip bread pudding is to die for! Don't miss this place on your visit to Savannah!!!

We had such high hopes for this place! We were in Savannah for a girl's weekend 3 years ago and they were closed for vacation so when we came back this year, we were so excited to see they were open. The atmosphere was good and the band was great but we had mixed reviews on the food and the service. One of the girls in our group had a great experience... She has severe food allergies and our waitress took the time to understand her allergies and even went back to the chef several times to ask what could and couldn't be done. He ended you making her a delicious ratatouille that satisfied all of her needs and her appetite! The rest of us had food that was way over salted and spiced and got a snippy remark from the waitress when asked to swap out the fish tacos because they were so spicy that they were inedible. Big bummer because we were really looking forward to it! It looks like other people have had great experiences so perhaps we just caught it on an off night. I'm happy at least 1 out of 5 of us had a good experience here!

Fantastic food, decent prices, nice calm environment, great and quick service (we got there early, about 5pm). I had the spring mix salad, terra cotta cheese plate, the lamb. The salad and cheese plate was delicious, the lamb was cooked perfect med rare like the server said it would be, but was just a little bland for my taste. The cheese plate was warm with apples & grapes. Cheese selection that night was healthy servings of chÃ¨vre, fontina, Brie, and a tart cranberry cheese; I was reluctant to share! My husband had the Caesar, steak Diane, and Thai chicken lettuce wraps. The lettuce wrap chicken was cold, which was a little unexpected, but great flavor. The Cesar had a little bit of a weird almost licorice flavor. But other than that, everything was fantastic! Dessert was chocolate torte and creme brÃ»lÃ©e, both of which was delicious. This was a special for two, which was $65, and totally worth it- two salads, 4 plates, and 2 desserts. I will definitely return next time we go to Savannah!

Ms. B. and I were visiting Savannah over my birthday weekend, and we ended up at a couple of winning places to celebrate. Jazz'd is at the top of the list. We came for dinner with another couple, and opted to try several different small plates, including the firecracker shrimp spring rolls (which were different than anything I'd previously had -- more shrimp than roll, with ingredients spread on the plate and all quite delicious); prosciutto and asparagus flatbread (truly, one of the highlights here, thankfully not too heavy on the Parmesan, which I prefer in very small quantity); fried mushrooms (hot, crispy, and plentiful for the bucks); Jazz'd lasagna (another flavorful standout -- except, unfortunately, a little cool in the middle, though not enough to spoil its rich flavor); Thai chicken lettuce wraps; and hummus. For wine, we went with a bottle of Brazin Old Vine Zinfandel, which we regularly enjoy. Each dish was artfully presented, and our server was attentive, personable, and thoroughly professional. We loved the dark "cellar" atmosphere. Whenever I'm back in Savannah, revisiting Jazz'd will be top priority.

Jennifer M.

The food was definitely good. The service was speedy. They provided plenty of information on special dishes, and were very accommodating to special occasions. Below were our orders. Melted Cheese Plate: Delicious assortment of cheese served with garlic bread & fresh food. I would list the cheese but I honestly don't remember them all. In short, they were all delicious (and I'm very picky about cheese). Fish Taco: Soft Taco with Sword Fish. Very satisfied, my wife and shared. Spinach Artichoke Dip: Nuff said. Well done! Oh ...and we were fortunate to have an awesome musician killing it on guitar!

Great Place to eat. Wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Restaurant is in a basement, but the dÃ©cor makes it neat place to eat. There was live music (vocalist doing Rat Pack material). Had the best lamb chops I've eaten in a long time. They were so good our table ordered an extra 2 orders in the middle of our dinner. The lasagna was good. We enjoyed the mushrooms...enough for 2. Also had the Caesar salad...again more than enough for two. Food portions are excellent. Drinks from the bar were very good. Great, Great, Great value. Service was good.....highly recommend Jazz'd
(5)
Eva F.

They have great tapas in this place!! We shared a combination that gave you 2 appetizer, 3 main tapas, and two desserts between the three of us and that was more than enough. I especially remember the creme brÃ»lÃ©e! The live music is not amazing but adds a cozy factor to your experience at jazz'd!

Cary E.

We visit for the 1st time on valentine's day. Loved the food and the service. The bar was awesome too. Very good drinks. I recommend this restaurant and will come back for sure. This tapas restaurant is not the regular tapas you are thinking of. There is plenty of food on this plates. We started with the spring salad absolutely delicious and the chorizo sliders are very tasty and the teriyaki steak with augratin potatoes was to die for and last but not least the dessert. loved this place

Cameron C.

Wow wow wow. I do need to say that this was one of my favorite places in Savannah. Sorry to begin with the negative, but the decor felt a little outdated; and I hated the carpeted floors. The band that showed up was not great. I expected a jazz band and these guys crawled out of the 70's pop era. Now on to what everyone really cares about, food and service. The service was excellent. We had a wonderful waitress who, despite our very large party, was kind, accurate, and very sweet. It was a little slow, but we did have a bachelorette party of 13 girls. I split the tapas for two and my oh my was it a ton of food. We started out with the black bean soup which was a little strong, but still a decent flavor. I think a little bit of sour cream or cheese would have helped. The Creole Tomato dip was phenomenal. The spicy sauce went beautifully with the goat cheese. We tried a friends fried mushrooms, again... Delicious. The salsa they used for the mushrooms was absolutely incredible and the mushrooms would have been a little bland without it. We also had the calamari which I would say was average. Another yummy plate was the lamb chops, they were cooked to absolute perfection; slightly pink on the inside and very juicy. My major negative of all of the plates was the BBQ shrimp and grits. I was not at all impressed. The salsa was sub par and just didn't marry well with the grits. We then followed the tapas up with dessert. I had the creme brÃ»lÃ©e. It unfortunately only had 2 small slices of strawberry which was a little disappointing, but still pleasing. The portions were huge, and having lived in Spain for years, they were much larger than actual tapas. Four tapas was overall just too much food, but since I like to try everything I enjoyed it. I would say three could eat comfortably off of that tapas for two deal. Overall, I loved this place. It had a large selection of dishes and wasn't overwhelming. My recommendation would be, smaller portions for less so people can truly enjoy and sample more tapas. I was just sad I couldn't afford to try another 5 or 6 plates. :-) In response to the comments from the owners, we did not mention the shrimp and grits to our waitress because it may have been a personal preference more than anything. As far as the drinks are concerned, I had a bottle of wine (not by myself obviously) but it was at a great price point of $24! The other girls did try a few of the other drinks and from their reactions they seemed to enjoy them. It's nice to hear back from the owners. It shows that you care and are concerned with the experiences of your guests. Kudos! Again, I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and I would make it a point to visit again next time I'm in Savannah. I'd also recommend it to anyone visiting.

Nice atmosphere, enjoyable music, potent drinks A stylish basement-level location in the historic district. Beautiful interior with a long serpentine bar, and a large dining area. We stopped by twice, and each time the music was very decent (lounge-style performance, male singers). One or two couples were dancing in the lounge area. Drinks are a little unnuanced but tasty and potent. We tried two tapas, both of which were excellent. Service was brisk and cordial. Great spot in a great going-out district. We'll definitely return on our next visit to the city.

Rachel Z.

Best meal I had in Savannah. I'm glad I held off for birthday to enjoy it. The selections were wide and all great... A total of 6 tapas shared between the hubby and me. We started with the she-crab soup and house salad, which were excellent. Take it from an indecisive and picky Gemini.

We went tonight, and it was bad. Both my wife and I felt sick afterwards. The food was subpar, greasy, just blech. The atmosphere is very nice, cool artwork and a jazz singer. But that can't make up for the BAD food. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Ben S.

We ate at Jazz on recommendation from the bartender at the Hyatt Regency's lounge, Vu. The bartender recommended three places to go, but this was the first she mentioned and she said she had been herself. We easily found it within walking distance of the Hyatt. To get to the restaurant you have to descend a stairway that goes below sidewalk level. The restaurant below obviously is then not blessed with natural light. It was painted all black, lit dimly, and decorated with bright paintings. That may sound bad, but it really is a nice combination of decor. Our server was really nice. She helped us through the ordering process as we said it was our first time and she said not all of the tapas portions were created equally. We went with the Tapas for 2 for $60 which includes a soup or salad each, plus two tapas each, plus 1 dessert each. It's definitely a deal price wise, but be hungry! These are bigger tapas than I've ever experienced; it's a ton of food! I enjoyed the flavor of all our selections. One issue: the pork tenderloin was fatty. It was so fatty in fact some of the pieces I was served were completely fat in that your fork slid right through it like it was a piece of jello.

Small bar. Horrible set up. Went for live music and weren't able to sit at tables unless you ordered food. It was 10pm they weren't busy. Were forced to sit on couch which seemed like the waiting area while there were many empty tables. Couldn't see the band from the couch area. Made no sense. The bar itself was really nice. Drink selection was good. Has potential but set up sucked.

Leesa F.

Absolutely wonderful! My boyfriend and I dined there late on a Monday evening and ordered 4 plates: hummus, the roaster tomato with goat cheese, fish tacos and cakes. All were good but I would highly recommend the tomatoes with goat cheese and the crab cakes- phenomenal! The other two were simple and while good, there are many other options to get there that seemed unique that I will go back and try next time! We sat at the bar and out service was great and we never had to ask for everything twice.

Stephanie R.

Came here with a large group for a bachelorette dinner. Service was great, and everyone raved about the food. My only complaint is that the room they sat us in was really quiet (no music); really needs its own speaker. One of our beef dishes was also not very good, bland and chewey. All in all very good though. The Martinis were dangerously delicious; I think my strawberry shortcake was about one of the most delicious things ever! Definitely tasted like cake. It's hard to find places that will accommodate such a large group with ease; would definitely recommend.

Paul S.

After several hours of walking through the beautiful streets of historic Savannah, my wife and I were about to pass out from heat stroke when we stumbled into this super-cool oasis. Located below street level, it was dark, inviting and surprisingly very affordable. We just needed a place to enjoy an adult beverage or two. It met all our needs, as we stopped in a couple places before finding Jazz'd. Those places were either crowded, noisy, hot or even smelly. This place was the opposite of all that. The icing on the cake was that on Tuesday evenings they sell bottles of wine for 12.00 bucks. We had just eaten a large late lunch so we did not try the Tapas, but trust me, we will be back the next time we are in Savannah.

Lara S.

Fun, cozy, great music and solid atmosphere. Enjoyed the food. Fish tacos were great. We dropped in while in town for 4th of July. It was kind of quiet night but a spot to return and try again. Enjoyed the art work displayed.

This place is truly wonderful... -...wonderful ambiance (we scored a table in a semi-private alcove, which was great for conversation with the music in the background); -...truly caring and professional staff (manager came to apologize for what was really a very small wait in the beginning; server was warm and efficient, but not obtrusive); -...absolutely delicious food; varied offerings, with a selection of gluten-free options as well (the salmon was scrumptious). And to top it off, they presented a small split of champagne to the couple in our party celebrating their engagement. Jazz'd really made our family get-together special!

Michael H.

Meh. Tapas is one of those "in vogue" cuisines that a lot of places do, but few places do it well. And sadly, Jazz'd was not that jazzed. My wife and I both agreed that the dishes were OK, but everything felt 'bland' on the flavor scale. It was a bit like they didn't want to take any chances by really spicing things up, and instead opted to keep everything "mild". For foodies like us, this was tantamount to taste bud boredom. The place was packed, and this tells me that they're catering to their niche well and probably not motivated to change. I don't think I'd go back for that reason.

Mark D.

Having already eaten at our hotel, we asked the server where we could just get some drinks and listen to jazz, and she suggested Jazz'd. As we walked in there was no one to greet us. We sat at a table by the bar and no one came to take our order. Eventually had to contact the bartender directly. There was no jazz, just an ok piano playing lounge singer who was at least trying to show some enthusiasm. Don't know if it's me looking out of place because I'm older, or was dressed too warmly, because it was cool out, and I'm from South Florida...but it just seemed like this place maybe caters to hipsters from SCAD....so I didn't get a very good impression and I feel the jazz clubs I've been to in South Florida are much friendlier and accommodating and actually offer jazz as advertised.

Patti K.

Stopped in here on a Saturday night. The food was decent but pretty underwhelming. I had a Mango Mojito and it was so sweet i could hardly drink it. The awesome music made up for it. We went in when Bottles & Cans were playing and they were amazing! Would def go back to see them or other bands.

Dan S.

The food is very rich! If you're on a diet, stay away. Do not expect Spanish Tapas! The Shrimp and Grits were fabulous. She Crab soup is wonderful but very creamy and could benefit from a side of bread. The fish tacos are made from swordfish. Service was fabulous. The owner checked in with us a few times and we felt well taken care of. The live music was delightful. Eddie played jazzed up versions of songs from Tony Bennet to Coldplay. The volume was perfects so we didn't have to raise our voices to have a conversation. The bread pudding dessert was one of the best I've ever had.

Ordered the bruschetta, wonton wrapped prawns and tenderloin. Everything we has was delicious, the atmosphere was so, so, there was live music which was really good and not too loud considering we were right in front of it. Server was very friendly and courteous

Good service. For us, the food was just ok. Glad they have a lot of vegetarian options, but my salad had waaaay too much dressing on it. The baked cheese platter was yummy and indulgent.

Let me say, this place is as legit as it gets! I've had several of their martinis, the green apple being my favorite so far. I sit at the bar itself when I go. The staff is great and knowledgeable. My husband and I had the bruschetta appetizer once which was very tasty. Both times we've been there's been live Jazz music which was very pleasant! Can't wait to go again!

We were expecting something different. The food was good, but it was mostly "infused" dishes. We were expecting a more authentic tapas restaurant. If you are too, then this isn't authentic Spanish tapas. The artichoke salad and crab soup were amazing! The cheese dish was ok. Some other reviewers raved about it, it was ok bit no cheeses that were really special. We also ordered beef tips and steak. Both were very oddly seasoned. We won't order again. Finally the shrimp spring rolls were good, again a different Asian taste, but good. We got the tapas for two and finished our meal with a chocolate tort and creme brÃ»lÃ©e. Both were fantastic. It was at least a great way to finish our meal!!

Wow. EVERYTHING was amazing. The tapas for 2 is a steal. Best lamb chops of my life. The crab stew was amazing! The shrimp roll, escargot, steak, everything! In Love with this place! Seriously best place in savannah

Great non-traditional tapas with a bit of Asian-fusian thrown in for fun. We had steak skewers, firecracker shrimp, and ahi tuna. I loved the cucumber martini. Our server was professional and friendly.

Food is absolutely amazing! The tapas style is fantastic in that it allows you to try a few good items instead of just one. The waitstaff was not good at all. I had to flag our waitress down just for another glass of wine and it seems that she only has two tables and I saw her helping to deliver food to a table I know wasn't her's and yet still had to flag her down to pay attention to her actual table. Don't let this deter you from coming and enjoy the atmosphere and food though! Maybe she was having a bad night!

I tried several places while on my weekend trip to Savannah and this place was hands down the best. The food was amazing and the prices were also.

I don't know how it took me so very long to get around to reviewing Jazz'd, which has long been more or less a go-to favorite of mine in Savannah. Mind you, I say this as someone who lived in Savannah a number of years in the 2000s and not just a tourist, either. The atmosphere--in what I believe was the cafeteria of an old Kress department store before Jazz'd renovated this basement space--is lovely, romantic, and engaging. The bar itself is very well-designed and a fun place to sit even for a meal if alone or there's just two of you. Locals do this all the time: if there's a wait for tables, see if they can take you at the bar. Trae Gurley sings Sinatra's songbook on Thursdays and he's worth hearing if you like old standards; seriously, this guy is top-notch. Dishes I like: --the chorizo empanadas --the black bean soup --the baked cheese terra-cotta plate --the pork loin back ribs Dishes I don't care for: --the seafood paella (too small, seafood often kinda tough) --the chicken lettuce wraps (it seems like a knock-off of something P.F. Chang's would do and isn't as good, either) Keep in mind that with something like the paella, this may have been a one-time issue. Any restaurant can get something over-done. Anyone can. That includes the likes of Le Cinq, even. Those empanadas are decently-sized and rather filling. They're a good choice to round out plates of tapas that are less-filling so you don't leave hungry. Things like the lamb or the stuffed flounder are too small in serving size to warrant getting honestly: these dishes would serve better as full-scale dishes as they are in most places prepared. They are just not ideal for tapas type service. The desserts are ok but nothing great. I'd go elsewhere for dessert most of the time or just have a couple drinks, my favorites being their mojitos and the lemon wheel martini. While the menu has changed a little over the years, what's on it now is more or less how it was back in 2006. My beloved chicken wings with their awesome special sauce seem to only be a now and then special whereas they used to be a menu staple, but otherwise not many changes. You can read that two ways: what they're doing has worked nearly a decade now, which is great but is it innovative? Not so much. Not anymore. Still, overall it's good and the service is always great. Like, they seriously try to please and even though it gets very busy they stay on top of things. It gets loud here. If you don't like "loud", come early and even if you're with your wife, say it's a business dinner and ask to be seated somewhere quiet and they'll do their best. Overall a great dining experience in Savannah. Open seven days a week which is really cool, too.

I can't even tell you how amazing this place is. I went with a group of 3 and each of us had 3 dishes. My bill came to around 28$. We all tried all of our dishes and no lie i think that was a perfect way to go. They were all small dishes which made it perfect to go afterwards for drinks because we weren't overly stuffed. Fav Plates: - Tuna with sesame seeds (light and delicious) - Flank steak Yakitori (in a sweet citrus sauce) - Mushrooms with chorizo (baked to perfection) - Bruschetta ( very fresh tomatoes with balsamic glaze) - Baked Cheeses ( roasted garlic, grapes and green apples)

Birthday Eve dinner at Jazz'd was great! We loved the atmosphere in a renovated basement space. It was open, yet still intimate for our romantic dinner. We were seated fairly close to the guy providing live music for the night. He was very good. Our server was especially friendly, and we liked that she stopped what she was doing to clap for the musician to show support and get diners involved. The chorizo empanadas were big and well-flavored, a good choice to get something filling on the table. We also had some shrimp and scallop skewers, which were very good. The Cuban rubbed beef satays ... we wished we'd had more. The sesame tuna was average. The bar area looked like it would be fun for a more casual evening out. The location is very convenient in the historic district and a short walk to lots of other bars and entertainment options.

Incredible taste and wide selection. The ambiance in this below street level restaurant is great. Fantastic bar with wide selection. We are at a bar table. Michelle was our server and was informative, suggestive, and efficient. We had the braised lamb chops, escargot in a tomato and garlic sauce, and a Mediterranean flatbread. A few martinis and glass of wine was perfect. The chocolate torte with a glass of amaretto finished the night. Best $100 I've spent at a restaurant.

Katie R.

This is absolutely, hands down, my favorite restaurant in Savannah. The Terra Cotta Cheese plate is phenomenal and I find myself craving the platter regularly. I've had the lettuce chicken wraps (Asian style, and very good), crab cakes, and a dish that was a cut of beef on a potato cake and all of those have been good as well. If you do make it to Jazz'd I would encourage a reservation (beware, the largest group they can take is 22 I believe) and to must try the cheese plate!

The BEST spinach dip I've ever had! They have a huge variety too.. The only downside is it has huge wait lines most of the time.. But if you are a food lover.. Its well worth the wait!

I went here for a birthday party last weekend and the staff did an awesome job of pulling everything together for us! There were about 15 girls and our server was not only quick with everything but he was very personable as well. The food was great, service was great, no complaints at all.

So good! I went w my friend , we ordered the she crab soup ( my first she crab soup ever) so delish, shrimp and grits, also delish and fish tacos - yum!!! I actually am on my last night in savannah and was looking to see if there was another restaurant I should try but couldn't stop thinking about that meal so I am going there again tonight!! Mm mm - she crab soup....

Great atmosphere, excellent tapas menu. 5 Onion Soup was hearty and rich without being too salty. Black Bean soup was perfection. Fish Tacos, BBQ Shrimp w/ grits, and Lasagna all excellent; complex flavors and generous portions. The Tapas for Two dinner is incredible value. Live music was excellent. Will definitely return if we visit Savannah again!

This place was absolutely awesome! I came to Savannah for a girls weekend trip and this was, by far, the best place we ate the entire time. The food was amazing and the staff was courteous and really nice. I recommended it to all of my friends as soon as I got home as well as to my family/friends that live in Savannah and had never been. Can't wait to have a reason to go back!

Monica A.

I only go to Restaurants 4 stars and so I chose this place. Courteous staff but food was just above good, no more/no less. The portions were bigger than traditional tapas and my expectations were geared towards the traditional. It was a Monday night so no live entertainment. But the bar has nothing to view either. Even a muted television would have given this place more life. I am a visitor and cant say i would come here again or recommend it, for the mere fact it was lacking a wow appeal, both in atmosphere and food. It was literally just above ok.

We've actually dined at Jazz'd back in 2008 and always have remembered having a great meal there. So this past weekend, when trying to figure out where to have a late dinner (after a carriage ride tour), we decided to revisit Jazz'd. We weren't disappointed. It was around 9 PM and 4 of us in the party. We were seated immediately. The place was pretty packed with live music playing. The atmosphere was great. We tried 8 tapas total. My favorites were the prosciutto wrapped scallops, the pork chops, and their special, German pot roast. We also tried several cocktail drinks, I especially like the mango mojito. Overall, we had a great time. The music was not overly loud so that we can still chit chat while enjoying the music. The food was yummy... I am sure the next time we go to Savannah, it would be likely that we'll revisit Jazz'd.

Steve V.

Went here the other night to hear my neighbor play the sax. The atmosphere is smooth and the cool like a hole in the wall you'd find in Norleans. The service was fast and friendly and the drinks were a solid pour; the kind that make you start swaying to the musica de la noche. The food was good and full of flavor, making me want to come back for more. Plenty of seating and even if you have to wait, you'll have a good time listening to the music and drinking a beverage of choice.

Nate H.

This is a wonderful underground well stocked bar with fresh food and tasty drinks. I've been here several times now and tried almost all the martinis. I have to say, there's definitely one for everybodys taste, sweet, tangy, fruity, sour, etc. My favorite though is the Apple martini, served with a nice crisp thin slice of granny smith apple in the glass. The atmosphere is chill, and can be good for a group, or a drink with a special someone. There's multiple seating options, bar, table, and a sofa lounge area, all with low mood lighting. There's live music on the weekends, which is always great. Overall this is a great place to get some drinks and light food at night. While the drinks are a little on the pricey side, and they did take away mini martinis, I;d still say it's worth it. Go here! You won't regret it.

Tommy G.

I've been to Jazz'd a handful of times, and the customer service is always paired well with exquisite food. I enjoyed the grilled salmon, shrimp and grits and coca cola pork ribs with a mango mojito. Buenisimo! Tues through sun has live performances by local musicians. Great for dates.

This place is 4.5 stars. The food is excellent. There is a lot of variety and different types of tapas. I love tapas so much more than a boring dinner, so this is perfect for me. The jazz band is wonderful (had there been dancing, I would have picked 5 stars). If you want an entertain dinner, go here. You can dress up as if you were going to a fine dining restaurant, but it's not stuffy. It's has a relaxing a social atmosphere instead.

Found this place while in savannah on vacation a few weeks ago and stepped in for some tapas and a few bottles of wine. Everything we ordered was very good and so was the live music. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the music so much we ended up closing the place down.

Annie A.

If you want diarrhea for days be my guest! The only thing this place has going for it is the live music and good service...not enough for me to want to spend 100 dollars for two people for grade f meat that tasted like it was cooked three days prior and they just reheated it in the microwave. I also got a fever five hours later and some pretty bad diarrhea... no thanks! Never again!

One thing that never fails in this place is amazing food and great music. Yes sometimes they can be busy and the service might slack a bit but that's expected when it gets so freaking packed! I have never experienced anything so terrible that would keep me from coming back for the delicious tenderloin tops and amazing cheese plate!
(5)
Ivy T.

Good food (had the shrimp grits and crabcakes). The crabcakes were a little dense for my liking but to each his own. Loved the live jazz. The downside is that there is no dance floor. But that doesn't stop people from dancing. I saw four couples grooving about. I do wonder how the musicians feel with the audience dancing nearly in their laps. But hey, if I were them, I'll be ecstatic that people were enjoying my music. Love the vibe here! And their kitchen opens late!

As a tourist visiting Savannah for the 1st time, I'm disappointed that I even suggested to my friends that we have dinner here. I'm shocked that this place has 4 stars??!! And what was most disappointing and spoiled my appetite were the whiffs of smelly cheese at every turn. There was seriously no escaping the stench. On to the dishes: We got the "Tapas for Two" for $60 option, which came with choice of soup/salad, 4 tapas to share, beverage, and dessert...which sounds like a deal, but is seriously not. We chose the scallops (the only decent plate of the night), beef satay (supposedly this is a popular dish, but was majorly lacking in flavor with no trace of peanut or ginger), and got two of the seafood paella (pretty standard and lacked seasoning). I got the chocolate fudge cake for dessert, which was VERY rich and heavy. My friends tried other tapas, which I don't recall, but I do remember that each dish was covered with layers of cheese! The only salvageable part of this restaurant (hence, two stars) was the laid-back, cool, hipster ambience with unique colorful paintings and lighting, in addition to the live music (the musician playing that night was wonderful). Our waitress was also very attentive despite this place getting busy after 8pm. I'm sure this place is awesome for happy hour, but unfortunately my dinner experience suffered from the cheesy, subpar food.

Hubby and I came here twice on our Savannah anniversary weekend. Friday night we enjoyed drinks and dessert while watching a fantastic blues band. The food on Saturday night was delicious!! More great drinks. The only draw back were the truly uncomfortable chairs. Ruined the feel. Hope when we visit again next vaca that they figure out that last piece to perfection.

Michael M.

2 stars = Did not meet my expectations We stopped by here on Sunday night for a drink before our dinner reservations at another restaurant later that night. The bartender was friendly and made an exceptional vodka martini. We decided to come back the following night to have dinner. We ordered the tapas for 2. Of the two salads one was not well dressed and the other was too dressed. I ordered the potato fritada and the lamb chops. The fritada was great. The lamb was the chewiest I have ever eaten. My wife ordered a shrimp and grits dish and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The beef tips sauteed in a blue cheese type sauce was pretty good too. I struggled with making this a 2 instead of a 3 but in light of the high expectations I had prior and the price of the food, I did leave disappointed. It would be worth a second visit in order to give them a second chance.

This is an awesome tapas bar that never disappoints when we are visiting savannah. Great Tapas to share and the atmosphere is wonderful. The bar has great drinks and the bartenders are very attentive to their costumers. This is a routine stop when we are in town. A must try for people visiting.

Yani T.

This is not your regular "European-like" tapas. The portions are bigger than usual. The food was good. We ordered a total of five tapas and we got a mix of good and "okay" ones. The drinks were great. The live music, AMAZING! They had a guy singing and he was awesome. So if you want a romantic light dinner (or an outing with friends), with a good ambiance and service, great jazz music, and decent food, this is your place.

Eve L.

Still not sure what we spent $60 on when we ordered the tapas for two option on the menu. Four tapas of our choice came out and they were very mediocre. The recipes/preparation/flavor had nothing to do w/ Spanish tapas whatsoever...the food at Jazz'd is very American and not overly good American. Overall I felt that I could have made a much better meal at home myself w/ very little effort. They took lackluster ingredients and smothered everything in a thick coat of cheese - not for flavor enhancement, but, to smother/cover. Some of the dishes didn't make any sense - the leek/potatoe frittata was swimming in some sort of munster or mild mozzarella melt and then they served it with a huge wedge of cream cheese (the kind you put on bagles). This made no sense - I have no idea what they wanted me to do w/ that cream cheese. The dish was supposed to be served w/ fig chutney but there was no fig chutney avail. to cut through the overwhelming flavors of all that cheese. Instead, there was a couple bits of cubed dried fig w/ very little flavor. Every dish came w/ lots of garlic bread too - it seemed as if they were covering up for lack of quality ingredients (sparse meat and few vegetables) w/ all that garlic bread. Again, we spent $60 and this was on four mediocre tapas + soup or salad + dessert (each option was too sickly sweet). We didn't even have wine/cocktails. Service was fair/average, ambience was fair/good (nice live music), but, overall, I wouldn't return. There's so many really good restaurants here in Savannah and Jazz'd really isn't one of them.
(2)
Zak S.

Did not love the decor or the tables, but the food was solid. Lasagna, beef skewer, lettuce wrap tacos and artichoke dip. I'd get a whole tray of the lasagna and serve it to the family. Server was excited to be there and share info about the menu. Live music was a huge bonus on the Friday night that we stopped by. The portion sizes are good for tapas style. You're probably good ordering 2 per person for something that would constitute a meal for most. We had four and needed to take a brown bag home.

John H.

Here's the good news. The food here is good. Everything we ordered by top notch. The bad news is that the place only takes reservations for "large" groups. Also, that seems to be what they do -- cater to and serve large groups. Since we (the two of us) could not make a reservation, we were told a "30 to 40 minute wait." After an hour, and only because we became vocal about not being seated, we were given a table. Here's the real problem. The hostess knows what delays to expect. Only give an estimate on the high side, i.e. tell a customer it will be an hour and make sure it's less than an hour. It's unconscionable to have a customer wait twice as long as you're told. It's simply bad management, and, as a consequence, we would never return. Food cannot make up for terrible front-end service. Simple solution for Jazz'd ... take reservations.

Josh D.

Maybe the restaurant was having a bad night? I suppose we are all entitled to one now and then. This is my first yelp review, but had to do it..... Food was ok, not great, service not good...see below. Walked in at 5 (yes, the early bird special!), we were sat with the hostess setting the expectation that the table we were being given had a 7:15 reservation. No problem we said. But the food was slow coming out of the kitchen! Follow that by another waiter at an adjacent table telling the people they had to move in 30 minutes, and it set the tone for a "eat your darn food and get out of my restaurant ASAP" type atmosphere. Top it all off with ok, not great, food, oversalted beef shoulder (waitress didn't seem to care), and no offer for dessert or coffee and we were out the door. Oh and by the way, not a single one of the 4 waitresses standing at the hostess stand even acknowledged our departure. What happened to southern charm? One positive (I am being sarcastic). blasting 80's music....if you are into that????

The key lime martini was SOOO smooth and creamy! We had a total of 4 in our group of 3. The Espresso martini was great too. The martinis aren't cheap, but they are amazing! I love that Jazz'd has live music, which is brought us in. What will keep me coming back is the great martinis and great service.

Kellie K.

We got to Jazz'd for a dinner around 6 p.m.; the restaurant was fairly empty, and the host stand was deserted. We waited for a few minutes before a couple of staff came to greet us and then started whispering to each other about how the rest of the staff needed to stop standing around outside smoking and start working. Awkward. Our server started out great, but as the restaurant and bar began to fill up, it seemed as though he was overwhelmed, and there didn't seem to be enough servers to handle the volume. Among the four of us, we ordered quite a few tapas: the baked cheese terracotta plate, which we ordered on a whim, was to die for, as was the martini marinated tenderloin tips! Oddly enough, the cuban rubbed beef satays I was SO excited about were just okay. By the time we left, the place was packed.

Lydia W.

Warm, chill atmosphere, great art on the walls, live music sometimes. We had the most professional and coolest server I've had in a long time! And a really excellent by the glass Chardonnay. The tapas are a little larger than usual, which is nice. Southern Fusion - what else in Savannah! I would have preferred to see more offerings, and some a more true Spanish flair, but that's just my taste. Great Savannah spot!

Lisa W.

I posted this review on 9/1/13. I noted RUDE SERVICE AT THE BAR. Interestingly enough, my post is no longer on the restaurant... maybe the management can selectively remove negative comments if they don't like what they see. I came in for dinner and intended to order at the bar as opposed to waiting for the table for 40+ minutes; however, after about 20 minutes at the bar, all i had was a glass of water and couldn't get anyone's attention. I held up my menu and still nothing. Then I waved the menu to catch the bartender's attention, and guess what... he told me to "zip it"... really? I suppose my $100 wasn't green enough for this place. I spent a wonder evening in one of the other fine restaaurants in Savannah. no need to be treated bady by a mouthy, rude wait staff at the BAR. maybe the table wait staff are better trained than the bartenders, but hey.. i'll never know. This place was incredibly RUDE. Run. Go elsewhere. You deserve to be treated better for the money this place is going to cost you.

Les L.

The food and atmosphere were very good. The fish tacos and cheese in terra cotta were our favorites. The crab cakes, though good, were nothing special. The jalapeÃ±o shrimp and grits were substituted with another recipe more garlicky. The tapas for two menu is far too much food for two. The bread pudding is unusual and outstanding!

Jazz'd for me wins for bariatric patients in Savannah. A great meal in great portions not to overwhelming and a great atmosphere. Overall 5 stars from me. Shannon our waitress was on point and super friendly and helpful. My wife and I had a great 9th anniversary at this Tapas Restaurant.

Went to Jazz'd for the live music and left satisfied. Had a delicious melted cheese platter. Our server needed to relax a bit. Eating and drinking here felt too rushed, like we were back home in a NYC Tapas bar.

Whenever my husband and I travel, we often like to try out local tapas spots. This place was mentioned a few times so we were up for it. Right in the middle of downtown Savannah, this place is located below street level. We were there during happy hour on Tuesday and the place was dead. We sat in the bar for happy hour but it only consisted of a few dollars off drinks. Although the decor seemed a bit dated and cold, the menu looked very promising. There were a number of plates that looked delicious but that is where it ended. We had the baked goat cheese in a tomato sauce with garlic toast (decent/okay), paella (okay) and the shrimp and grits plate that had a gravy like sauce (disappointing). For 3 apps and 3 drinks, we spent about $60 with tip. Not worth it....

Nice place, nice music, friendly people. Tapas were perfect for a light dinner. My salad had a little bit too much dressing, but hat is probably a feature of the US not exclusive to this restaurant (I forgot to ask for it in the side). The lettuce chicken tacos were delicious. We enjoyed it!

Leigh N.

This is a nice little spot for a few drinks and live jazz, but the food left a bit to be desired. I had the French Onion Soup and the Mussels... decent but mediocre. Nothing to write home about. Customer service was good. What I did enjoy most about this venue was the ambiance, lighting, and the music.

Dylan S.

The food was good, and comfortable atmosphere. I really enjoyed it for my brothers 25th birthday up until 10 o'clock. Unfortunately I'm 20 and was going to be their designated driver and the establishments "rule" is no one under 21 is allowed after 10. So it kinda sucks that I had already ordered food and was enjoying time with my brother while I could, then to get told to leave was a huge downer. I don't think I will EVER goto this place whenever I'm 21 in 5 months! C'mon people.

Two weeks ago, while visiting the historic/romantic City of Savannah, my wife and I decided to go easy on the Southern Style cuisine and eat on the light side. the menu for Jazz'd was in our B&B's recommended binder, and so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived, we were surprised that the restaurant is in the basement of a building, with a staircase leading down to the main reception lounge. The walls are vibrantly colored, displaying large colorful oil paintings of jazz subjects. Dimmed mood lighting is the mood with pointilistic zaps of LED colored lights, sporadically scattered across the ceiling. Only a few blocks from our B&B, located near the historic waterfront, this trendy tapas lounge was just what we needed. The menu has over 40 different tapas which are definitely a larger serving than an appetizer, but decidedly smaller than a full entree. We each chose two tapas, along with a bottle of Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay, our hometown vintner and neighbor. I had Calamari dredged in cornmeal seafood breading, flash fried and served over butter sauteed julienne jalapenos and sweet banana peppers. served with a side of spicy marinara. $9.50 and Chorizo Empanadas: savory turnovers filled with red potato, chorizo sausage, onions, green olives and golden raisins. served with cilantro-lime cream. $9.00 My wife had Five Onion Soup: better than french onion. five different onions, french bread, gruyere and asiago cheeses. $7.00 and Asparagus Proscciutto Wrap: tender asparagus spears rolled in thinly sliced prosciutto, topped with hollandaise sauce and nestled on a bed of fried leeks. $7.50 OUTSTANDING!!!!! They have live Jazz five nights a week

Christina S.

Great little place you would never know! Tapas are amazing! We went on Wednesday and had $12 bottles of wine and live entertainment. Really liked it. The cheese plate was wonderful. We had a cranberry cheese that was to die for. The empanadas were my favorite. Escargot was good, cocktails were yum.

Adrianne H.

Food was good, service was great. We had Michelle. Although we were seated directly in front of the band, Michelle made sure she could hear our orders. She kept our drinks filled and brought out everything within a timely manner (salads, two tapas, two more tapas, desserts). She was awesome. The band was good, too. The only downside, and this is in no part the restaurant's fault, was a drunk, underdressed middle-aged woman dancing around the bar. She did provide us some extra entertainment, though! I would definitely return.

I love topless bars, I mean tapas (tah-pahs) bars. We were visiting Savannah and saw Jazz'd in ads, walking down the street, so...we decided this would be a good place to have our friends meet up with us. It turned out just perfect. Good food, good wine, good tapas, good live music, and great company. There were four of us and each couple got the "Tapas for Two" deal, 60 bucks include soup or salad, 4 tapas, dessert and soft drink/coffee. Such a deal. The Menu was fabulous and unfortunately, we couldn't taste everything on the list. Guess we will just have to come back soooon, but not soon enough. Hubbie and I ordered: Soup: He - Black bean soup Me - Five Onion Soup - Better than French onion! This one has 5 different onions, french baguette, Gruyere and Asiago cheese. YUM Tapas: Cuban rubbed beef satay - 4 skewers! Now that is more that tapas. Pretty big portion. It was seasoned very nicely. a bit of spice, tender beef. Lovely. Chorizo stuffed Mushrooms - stuffed with smokey chorizo, spinach, goat cheese, leeks and topped with provolone, oven baked. Juicy and full of flavors. Seafood Paella - a medley of shrimp, Prince Edward mussels, chorizo, simmered in white wine and saffron sauce - very lite and fluffy, yet filling. Garlic and Basil Shrimp n' Grits - Grilled shrimp on a bed of creamy stone ground grits with tomato bouillabaisse. Drinkie Drink: Penfolds Thomas Hyland Syrah - full flavors of juicy red plums, dark berry and chocolate. Dessert: Creme Brulee and Bread Pudding - both were excellent. HUGE portions, again... Service - Impeccable. Wonderful. Flawless. Live Music - Best I have heard in a long time. Eddie Wilson, pianist/singer. He jazzed up "sweet child of mine". He did good. onstagemusic.com/eddiewiâ€¦ We were very full and happy by the end of the nite...

The white sangria was refreshing and extremely good. The food was excellent. There was four of us and we were able to taste several dishes. All were fabulous. The atmosphere and service was first class.

Amazing food! Not your typical low country fare, so if that's what you're looking or this is your first night in town this isn't really the place. But man if you want some good food, this is the place!! Amazing tapas!! I will definitely come here next time. Perfect portions for sharing not being too full to walk around town.

I just got over a long period of diarrhea and vomiting after eating at Jazzd. This caused our trip to Savannah to be cut short which was also my honeymoon. The worst part was that the management and owner were very uncooperative and took no responsibility for what had occurred. The only response we got was it couldn't be our food it has to be something else. This doesn't make sense since we both had the tapas for two and both got sick at the exact same time. Since, this isn't the first post about poor customer service it must be commonplace. I will say that I liked the atmosphere, but obviously I was unsatisfied.

Stopped here with my boyfriend for a light dinner and cocktails. We really enjoyed our meal. The place was rather empty for the dinner hour so that was surprising. We ordered the cheese plate, five onion soup, bruschetta, prosciutto spaetzle, and fish tacos. We really had no complaints with any of it. Everything tastes fresh and well seasoned. For a tapas bar the portions were extemely generous. Bartender was friendly. The hostess was a tad rude to my boyfriend. He had walked in with a sweet tea from a previous store, he didn't really even think about it and she very coldy told him we couldn't come in until it was gone. I feel she could've said it in a more tactful way. The decor was so/so. They had some nice art work and also with all of the steel in there it had a sort of industrial feel. Kind of seemed to me that they had 2 different themes competing. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed the place and when we come back to Savannah we will probably stop there again!

Started off with a dirty blue cheesed stuffed olive martini....bartender made a great one. Service was great!! Tapas portions were huge. You pay more, but they are dinner sized. My fish tacos were fantastic!!

This place was fantastic! I called at 630pm on a Saturday night to see if they could seat my group of 8 within an hour or so. Almost impossible request, but they came through! When we got to the restaurant, we were seated right away. There was a fantastic band playing and the restaurant was crowded. I think my group managed to eat almost everything on the menu and it was all amazing! The highlights for me were definitely the chorizo sliders and the bread pudding. Our server, Tyler, did a great job and was very helpful and attentive. We definitely had a great time and are looking forward to going back!

Jazz'd was among the list of great "date night" restaurants recommended by Trip Advisor and the reviews on Yelp suggested it was a good place to try, so my boyfriend and I headed there on our recent stay in Savannah. We had a fine evening - not stellar, but absolutely fine. We both enjoyed the live music; the food, on the other hand, was so-so. We decided to go with the Tapas for Two option, which includes two salads or soups, four tapas, and two desserts for just $60. I had the Caesar salad, which was rather plain (two stars). I then tried the hot spinach dip, which was awful (one star, if that). However, the mussels provencal were quite tasty - I didn't have any bread to dip (none was provided), nor did I have a bowl for my shells (again, none provided), but I still managed to consume all of the broth, which I truly enjoyed. Dessert, on the other hand, was quite a disappointment for me. I opted for the flourless chocolate cake on a graham cracker crust and it was much too rich. I love chocolate, but every girl has her limit! Again, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The decor was nothing special. However, we really enjoyed the entertainment, and ate three courses for a moderate $60, so Jazz'd gets two stars.

Great place for a date night! We thought it would be good to get the special where you start off with a salad, get some food in between, and end it with dessert. We were stuffed! Such an awesome variety of food as well. Can't wait to go back!

My girlfriend and I ate here on our last visit to Savannah. The atmosphere is cool, the food is just ok. I might go back again...I might not. We spent about $50-$60 and I left hungry.

Meredith K.

To be honest, not much to recommend the place. The decor is terrible... It's cold, disjointed and dark. In terms of the food. Almost everything we had was overspiced. We had the lettuce wraps, which were sautÃ©ed bits of pre packaged, pre cooked chicken. The empanadas didn't have chorizo in them but were so spicy that we only ate one of the three plated. The highlight of the meal was the bread pudding dessert, which was actually pretty good. Overall the food was unbalanced and presented poorly. Even great music does not make up for bad food!

This place is awesome! Great atmosphere (music may be a bit loud), service, and food. Hummus, Spinich Dip, Onion Soup, Irish Stew, Ribs, ALL excellent. I brought my mom and her best friend and they absolutely loved it. Will definitely recoemmend and be back!

Jason A.

First tapas bar for my wife and I, and boy did we choose right! This place is just awesome to say the least. The coctails are flowing, live music to enjoy, and with a first-rate menu. We went for the Tapas for Two selection which provides for 2ea soup/salad, and 4 tapas to share plus 2 desserts. Lets just say that we we absolutely stuffed before we left; completely satisfied. Unfortunately the do not take reservations for parties of 2, so come early b/c there can be a lengthy wait. But hey, more time to enjoy some coctails and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Cheers!

M L.

This place is a tourist trap. I can't comment on the live music since we arrived and left before it began, but the sangria had no booze in it and the she crab soup was pretty much just cream, potato, and lots of little bits of crab shell. There are tons of great restaurants in Savannah. I would highly recommend skipping this one.
(1)
Aaron S.

The atmosphere was nice, and the service was good. The food was bland, and lacking creativity. My wife and I shared the Tapas for Two meal, which came with soup or salad, two tapas apiece and two deserts. Nothing was awful, but nothing was great either. The steak was under seasoned, the creme brÃ»lÃ©e was tasteless, and the crap soup lacked any crab and came out lukewarm. The highlight, and I use that term loosely, was the seafood paella.
(2)
Julia D.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Its a must every time I'm in Savannah. The cheese plate with roasted garlic is OUT OF THIS WORLD. There is usually live music and good crowd. Lots of fun, getting hungry just thinking about it. It does get pretty crowded on the weekend, I made the mistake of trying to just walk in on a Friday night, we had an hr wait. But didn't mind because the bar is good so was the band.

Nemo L.

When I lived in Savannah, I came here more often than my wallet preferred, but it was worth it! The "Tapas For Two" at the bottom of the menu was always the best buy, including two soups/salads, four tapas, two desserts, and drinks and coffee. My absolute favourites were: the she-crab stew, shrimp fritters (my mouth is watering...), rosemary lamb chops, Greek salad, and the terra cotta cheese plate. Mm! The wait staff was always fantastic, and the live jazz music couldn't be beat. From the paintings to the black porcelain in the bathroom, this place had its look and feel down. If you're going on a date and want something a little different than the other home cookin' restaurants in the area, choose Jazz'd.

Cool place but a little disappointed with the music. We went early for a cocktail & appetizer. We enjoyed the shrimp fritters and would go back next time we are in town but probably not for dinner - the drink and app worked out well.

Hi, I'm 1990 and I want my decor back. Not say the decor makes or break a place but it was just odd considering the way the try to market the place. Food was just eehhh... Shrimp with grits-yes Stuffed mushrooms-no Paella-Seafood was good but rice was bad-no Lambchops-Chops were good but came with shreds of green onion that were over grilled that made them look and taste like blades of dead summer grass-maybe French onion soup-yes The place isn't bad but don't go out of your way to try it.
(2)
Ashleigh H.

Nice music, very disappointing food. We had the black bean soup (sent it back due to being inedibly over seasoned) replaced by the five onion soup. The caprese was actually good, not awesome but I've had worse. Seafood paella = seafood rice a roni sesame tuna - not bad, cooked stuffed flounder - boring beef shoulder tender - the waiter told us this is his favorite thing in the world. This was the last to arrive so maybe I had already formed a negative opinion of the food, but I really wasn't impressed other than the potatoes au gratin under the beef. I would go back to hang out but not to eat

A happening place. They print money. Five stars for the mussles. Five stars for the shrimp and grits. My wife hates grits, she Eat more than I did. Lettuce wraps were very good. Had'em the second nite, great. So was the mussels. Great minitini happy hour. $4 minitini's. Ahhhhh.

K O.

Awesome atmosphere to listen to live music. Order several tapas to share. The escargot was awesome but the calamari was a bit oily at the bottom of the dish. This place is trendy, modern, and hip. They have beer but I had the impression this is more of a wine and martini place. Great location in the heart of downtown.

By far the best food provided in Savannah! Nice presentation, decent prices... Highly recommended.

We only had drinks and appetizers, but we were both impressed. I love crab cakes but unfortunately have had more bad ones than I care to remember. These were spot on - luscious with crab and not much else, nicely seasoned, pan-fried to a golden brown and served with a lovely remoulade sauce. BF had the shrimp fritters and I think I caught him about to lick his plate - lol. The music was not much to write home about the night we visited, but it was great to find a place right in town with live music and decent food. We'd both recommend this as a stop while in Savannah!

My family of 5 ate here. I was expecting a Spanish cuisine filled with new and interesting dishes. Unfortunately it is more like American cuisine style Tapas. We still enjoyed the food and the whole experience. It was a lot of fun.

Super trendy spot in the heart of Savannah and located under the street which is kinda cool. Before going I had heard from the locals there's always music and the food was top notch so I knew it would be a spot I would like. I was right. Great tapas food and the music was great as well. One thing to be aware of is that depending on where you are seated it will be loud! Good service and bright, lively interiors really made the meal more of an experience which is always a good thing. Will certainly be a repeat customer for sure.

Melissa B.

Love love Jazz'd Tapas Bar. No they don't always play jazz here. When I was there it was live music but a mix of different types. I came here with the boyfriend and we did the Tapas for Two. YUM!!! They were out of the lamb lollipops (bummer!) but that forced us to try new things. Everything we had here was fantastic from the soup to the wraps and dessert. I cant recommend this place enough! Service was fast and efficient. Will definitely be back!!!

Sometimes you just get the itch for eclectic jazz music in a basement lounge adorned with track lighting and industrial metal flare....ok you probably don't, but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it! I stumbled across the Jazz'd Tapas Bar during a busy Labor Day weekend and found it pleasantly crowded but not packed. The wave shaped bar was intriguing and the chairs were spaced far enough apart that people coming up just to order drinks didn't have to lean over other patrons to receive their drinks. The bartender mixed me one of the best mojitos I've had in the south - secretly adding a splash of sprite to bridge the gap between the simple syrup and club soda. The liquor lineup is truly impressive, featuring a wide spectrum of all the major families - they even have Johnny Walker Blue for the whisky drinkers with expensive taste. The hummus was above standard and their special for the evening, pan fried scallops in cornmeal, took the traditional dish to a new level with its tomato soubise and alfalfa sprouts -- a truly satisfying dish but a bit pricey for the single traveler. If you're with an even number of people I'd recommend ordering the Tapas for Two at the bottom of the menu which gets you the most for your green.

Dipping into Savannah for an hour was definitely better than dinner on-the-road at McDonalds. I'll attribute that almost entirely to Jazz'd. We chose it based solely on Yelp reviews (always reliable, even in The South) and it didn't disappoint. Thanks, Yelp! The food was excellent. I love tapas, because I don't have to be picky about my orders. I get to have everything that sounds good. Gorge yourself on the menu - it is divine - but save room for the bread pudding. Hot damn. The music was great, but the acoustics could use some work. The raw basement decor leaves a challenging echo. I had trouble hearing my dining partner, which isn't what you want. If they can tone it down just a notch I think this place would be perfect.

Eric S.

One of the better spots in Savannah. Jazz'd is a little on the pricey side for what it's worth, but you don't need to order that much. Supposedly, this is a tapas place, but most of them are entree size if you are a reasonable eater. The drinks were average...and the music was cheesy the night we went. Decent date night spot.
(3)
Ava A.

Loved it. A date night classic. The ambience, the service, the music, the food and most of all the drinks. A more mature crowd was in attendance on the night we went, much to our delight. **Getting a table would have taken about an hour so we sat at the bar. It felt nice to go out, sit at a bar, have a good drink and some fantastic food without the pushing, shoving and bar-fighting breaking out which is typical for a lot of these Savannah haunts. The place is very clean, very modern and you can dress up or down without feeling like a fish out of water. The music was live but not overwhelming so I could still have a little witty repartee with my date. The drinks are a bit pricey but it is stiff enough that I didn't mind. The highlight of the night was that crab cake which is on my top three ever. If you have seen "once upon a time in Mexico" you know, Johnny Deep shoots the cook because the dish was too GOOD. That is how I felt about my crab cake. That good. I have to say I will be back, if only to check on the consistency of that magical crab cake.

Just ate there tonight. Warning: LARGE PORTIONS FOR A TAPAS PLACE. My boyfriend and I like tapas, and we regularly go to a couple places in our current city (Cincinnati). So we thought we knew what to expect. Well, the waiter (who was very nice and attentive, contrary to what some other reviewers experienced) did try to warn us. He recommended 2 tapas plates per person (as an ordering guide -- obviously we would share them all). Well, we didn't listen. We went for the Tapas for Two options, which is soup/salad, 4 tapas plates to share, and dessert. We were STUFFED after 2 tapas plates, to the point that I actually asked if it was too late to cancel the rest of the meal and just pay. (It was. :\ We took leftovers back to our hotel and now we probably won't go to Lady and Sons for brunch tomorrow. Argh.) Our soups and calamari were good (again contrary to what some reviewers experienced) and the cheese plate was DIVINE. (Thanks for the recco on that one, Yelp peeps!) The rest we're eating as leftovers, like I said, so I can't exactly rate that... :P Yes, it's a bit pricey, but like I said, the servings are very "healthy," particularly for tapas. Also, we went in around 6 pm on a Saturday night and had no wait. (Again, contrary to what some reviewers experienced -- I'm thinking Jazz'd gets a different crowd later in the evening?) Anyway, I'd definitely go back if I were ever in Savannah again, but I'd be a LOT smarter about how/what I ordered.

Shireen B.

Okay---I enjoy Jazz'd a lot. A LOT. Let me tell you why...it mixes three interesting concepts...Old Southern Jazz (starts at 9-9:30pm on weekends and its DAMN good), New Age Cuisine, and the Tapas concept--small plates to share. This is not a Spanish Restaurant, so you had me laughing if that was your complaint/ review. Cherve Cheese and Spicy Tomato Dip...delicious if you love Goat Cheese. Pulled Chicken Quesadilla--Wow, marinated overnight, the chicken is delicious. Crab Cakes--Very meaty and flavorful. Not my favorite crabcake, but good. It's not just the food here...it's the ambiance-- the romance or the sexy, friendly vibe. It's the service--fun and accomodating. It's the theme--Jazz. Don't be so picky to read into it--it is what it is---- GOOD. hehe Now, It is a little pricey. It pays to bring a friend (or someone more) and do tapas for 2. There're more dishes that I like, I will review them next time I venture down those stairs. Hmm, maybe tomorrow night. ;)

Needs a bigger variety of drinks and some beer on tap, but most of the food was great. Didn't like the taste of the Caesar, but loved the she-crab soup. Scallops and coconut shrimp were tasty. Husband said lamb chops were good (but I won't eat baby sheep or cows).

Matthew G.

I took my mom here last night because I wanted her to experience a tapas style restaurant for the first time. Needless to say, we had a good experience overall. When you first arrive at the location you have to walk down the stairs at the outside entrance of the building. They conveniently have a menu hanging outside so you can get an idea of what they have to offer before you walk down. Once you go inside the atmosphere is very nice with dimmed lights and a live performer. The music was not so loud that it was overwhelming; therefore, it isn't difficult to carry on a conversation with your party. The service was good, although I didn't find our server to be very personal with us. The food arrived in a very timely manner and the portions were all very good-sized, not to mention they all were very tasty and looked to be very decorative on our plates. The martinis were all excellent, although a bit pricey- $10.00. As far as dress goes, we felt extremely underdressed. I don't recommend casual dress for this restaurant. There were a few people wearing shorts here, but I recommend a dress for women and nothing short of khakis with a nice shirt for men. All in all, I will probably return to this restaurant if I ever come back to town.

Skip L.

I probably would only give this place a three (maybe four) but since the baby on board contingent from Cali seems intent on review bombing this place I figured I'd give it a five to counteract at least one of their reviews. This place is a nightclub/restaurant that has live music- what part of that sounds even remotely baby friendly? I'm actually surprised they allow 18-20's in there given the state of Savannah liquor licensing for any place that has live music (Loco's kicks out everyone under 21 when they have live music). That said the atmosphere is pretty cool, if a bit loud for quiet conversation. The food I had on my one visit was a mixed bag- most was pretty good but some was just fair.

If the Jazz'd Tapas Bar were a person, he would be that metro-sexual guy at the bar who is trying waaaaay too hard to impress the ladies. We went here because they advertised live music and had an expansive menu. Turns out we didn't make the best choice. I should've known when the host told us it was a fifteen minute wait for a mostly-empty dining room. We opted to sit at the bar instead. The service was slow. The bartender was friendly, but she kept saying how busy she was. I couldn't really understand why - it seemed like the restaurant was at 35% capacity at best. Hmm. Maybe they were just understaffed that night. I kept waiting for the live music, which never happened. We picked two of the tapas and sadly, neither was impressive. The shrimp and grits were fine, however, the shrimp was plated on the skewer. It was hard to pull it off and mix with the grits. The lasagna tapas dish sounded delicious, but it was very dry. The pasta was homemade but there was barely enough spinach-goat-cheese mixture for a mouthful. Boo. The decor is overdone. It looks like they just went with what they think is trendy and modern, but it does not feel cohesive. Nothing about it felt personal or welcoming. Seemed like the place that Will Ferrell would visit while reprising his role in "Night at the Roxbury." I think that this place has potential if they narrow down the menu and concentrate on the food. With a few other adjustments to the decor and the service, things could go from overdone to well done. Until then, I'd recommend Sugar Daddy's instead.

Dave O.

My wife and I stopped in for dinner, with rather high expectations given the TA rating. The restaurant is in the basement of an office building, which for me is a hurdle right from the start, though not a deal breaker. Our server was very good. The live music, a couple guys on guitar was nice. I started with a blue caracao Hendrick's martini (their signature) which I sent back for no charge. Not their fault I didn't like it, I guess I'm just a martini snob. The replacement Hendrick's martini was very nice. Food was so-so. Their highly touted calamari was slightly rubbery, and we required over 2x the marinara dipping sauce it came with. The Pesto chopped salad was quite tasty, artichokes and bacon in a pesto dressing. On to the beef shoulder, which was very good. With all Savannah's outstanding offerings, this one was average.

Ben T.

Very fun spot to go. We went for an after dinner drink and were sad after getting to see and smell some of the tapas that we could have eaten. That said, the wine, the music, and the general atmosphere made for a very nice after dinner stop.

Visited Jazz'd on 3/8/13. Wait was a little longer than we expected (45 mins), but we were able to get a spot at the bar within 10 minutes. Ordered the grilled flank, chorizo stuffed mushrooms, and prosciutto wrapped asparagus for food. Drinks were good as well. I was happy with my whiskey and my girlfriend enjoyed her vodka & soda. The music was fantastic! Not too loud, which is great because we were still able to have a conversation during dinner. Definitely will return next time we are in Savannah!

Fun, funky, downstairs Savannah Jazz "joint" Dark, hip decor. I have only sat at the bar to order drinks and tapas. Drinks are always good. Excellent Mojitos and Sangria. Good bartender. The tapas...I have had better. Not bad, but none are mind blowing. Great place for a romantic date for drinks & snuggles, or for a Girl's Night Out.

I really enjoyed Jazz'd. It's a cross between a restaurant, bar, and lounge. The atmosphere is inviting, yet relaxing. It is decorated with colorful paintings and dim lighting. The live band was good. However, I wouldn't consider the music jazz per se. Likewise, I thoroughly enjoyed the tapas; the food was good. The next time I visit Savannah, I will definitely go to Jazz'd again. :)

I think the martini is the official drink of Savannah. Jazz'd had plenty of martini variations like so many other restaurants and bars here. You'd think an Old Fashioned would be more appropriate for Savannah. My girlfriend ordered the sweet tart martini with Southern Comfort, sour mix, and cranberry. It had that awful Jello-sweet flavor. The Chesapeake martini which was basically a bloody mary rimmed with old bay seasoning. The drink had a fun, but bulky garnish of pickled okra, lime, and stuffed olive. This was a good drink. The wine list was very weak which is a huge problem for a tapas bar. Quick SAT test: Wine is to tapas as... A. Beer is to bratwurst B. Vodka is to caviar C. Champagne is to strawberries D. All of the above I hope you get my point. The list was littered with bottles that could be bought at a supermarket for under $10. I ended up having a glass of Chateau Ste. Michelle reisling and then a Seven Deadly Zins. Snoooze. We started with the crab cakes which came with a store-bought-like mustard and a terrible avocado and tomato salad that had turned brown. The cakes were average. We also started with shrimp and grits. The shrimp came on skewers which always bother me because eating shrimp is enough work with the tail shell, but now I have to slide them off a stick? The grits were surrounded by a tomato broth which was okay, but not a helpful combination. As grits go, they were grits. We could have left at this point because the food didn't wow us, but we stuck around to enjoy the music which we really liked. It was a bit odd they put the musicians in the corner on the lowest floor. There wasn't even a platform for them. We ordered a second round of two dishes. The flounder rolled around crab was a misfire. The flounder was tough and it was barely filled with crab. The calamari came with boring tomato dip, but the sautÃ©ed peppers on the bottom made this dish a hit. It gave the squid the right amount of acidity along with introducing flavor. The concept is there, but the presentation was wrong. It's too big to be a tapas sized dish. The marinara sauce was not needed. Add more peppers because we quickly ate the peppers before finishing the calamari. Don't hide the peppers at the bottom of 4 inches of calamari. Change the service plate. Instead of a deep bowl, try a rectangular plate where the calamari can be loaded on one side and the peppers can be laid across the other side. Although our waitress did everything right, the rest of the staff made mistakes like taking away the silverware and not replacing it or taking away the menu after ordering only two dishes. Due to local laws that prohibit the retail sale of alcohol on Sundays, another table ordered a bottle of wine to take back to their hotel room. You don't see that happen everyday. I'm tempted to give 2-stars, but the music brings it up to a 3.

Rob M.

Jazz'd Tapas is a throwback to a much earlier time....a basement location, a guy playing and singing old jazz favorites in a fairly open room with a woman at the bar loosened up and yelling for oldies from the 40's when she was a teenager......made the place seem like you were in a movie classic. Then they brought the menu with 2 pages of tapas from many cuisines and warned us that 2 tapas each would be plenty since the plates were not really small. Unusual to have your server warn you not to order too much. The food was just great, fit the atmosphere perfectly and we left satisfied with food and loved the overall experience, So don't be afraid to head down the stairs and if you squint you might see Bogey at the bar.

Went there with a girlfriend after work. The place was empty. As we were there a few tourists trickled in. I ordered a glass of wine. Sipped it a few times and finally concluded there was NO way I could finish it- it was just plain rancid. When the waiter can to check in, I told him about the wine. He said he would have to charge me- I didn't care it was so sour. He said it was a brand new bottle and would have to charge... I was ticked he wasn't apologetic or anything. It wasn't that I just didn't like the wine, it must have been bad. He returned a few minutes later to tell me the bartenders agreed the wine was "off" - still no apology and now my stomach was getting upset. I ordered a different wine. It was so so. Of course he recommended the most expensive and it was just a marginal young and acidic red. My friend got the sangria. Despite my dislike for gin it was good. Don't expect a typical sangria- this is really just a fruity mixed drink. We ordered: the paella, empanadas and stuffed mushrooms. Paella wasn't spectacular but tasted pretty good. Empanadas were flaky and served with a sour cream based dip. A little spicy, but I'm a spice wimp. I could have eaten 10 because they were so fab. As it was, there were 3 total and we split them even. This was the best of our 3 dishes. The mushrooms were terrible and tasted like bath water. Never again. Service was marginal. Food was average. As an aside: I am obsessed with the flooring material by the bar. So soft for heels and you don't slide!

Love this place! My boyfriend (of nine months) and I went to Jazz'd last night for a date night. We had a great time! It was his first time visiting and my second. The service was awesome and friendly. The food was delicious! We had the terra cotta cheese plate as an app and it was amazing!!! We followed it up with stuffed flounder and escargot. Which we shared of course (: accompanied with some cosmopolitans and Raspberry 75!!! The jazz band started while we were finishing our food. And they were fantastic! At that point it got a bit loud for date night but we we're sitting 2 seats away from the band...if we were sitting away from the bar area it would have been perfect! When we left we told everyone we encounter about one of our new favorite places! I keep hearing that it's a bit pricy, I tend to disagree. We had the 3 dishes plus a total of 4 martinis and our bill was $70...$95 with tip. Not bad for date night, great food great service and excellent entertainment! (:

Just got into Savannah looking for decent food along Broughton St on a Monday night. Saw the sign for Jazz'd Tapas Bar and decided to check it out. Contemporary layout with a Jazz motif, smoking at the bar, occasional live entertainment- this probably works better as a late night spot than for evening dining. The food is competently prepared even if a little uninspired. I ordered a blackened salmon that was well seasoned and very tender- it was very good but was served on a bed of dried bland broccoli florets. I also ordered lamb chops that were perfectly cooked and seasoned with a nice salsa fresca-like garnish. Very nice. Decent wine options as well.

After driving 9 hours from DC to Savannah we were tired but hungry and ready to have a drink and relax. We had a few restaurants picked out for later in the week, and didn't have a plan for the night. We came across Jazz'd, just a few blocks away from our hotel. We looked at the menu and decided we'd give it a try. It's a a great date spot. The live music was excellent -- Sinatra, Bennett, Porter-- sung by crooner Trae Gurley. We actually even bought his CD (gotta support local musicians)! We had the chorizo stuffed mushrooms which were okay (I think chorizo can really overpower something as subtle as mushrooms), shrimp and grits (great flavors), Cuban beef satays with fried plantains (excellent! probably the best dish), and crab cakes (which I can't remember too much about 2 weeks later, which I suppose says something about the dish). The bartender made great vodka martinis, and it was a perfect spot for my husband and I to chill out, enjoy a few beverages, and listen to live music. After all we did just spend 9 hours together in the car so there wasn't too much left to say. And as we found out later in the week, it was a nice alternative to over-fried and butter-laden Southern cuisine!

The atmosphere was great. Live jazz music was the perfect touch. They had a great menu and drink list. We came to Savannah for my girlfriend's 30th birthday and Jazz'd was a great dinner spot. I definitley recommend!

Jazz'd was recommended by a staff member at our hotel and did not disappoint. Wonderful service, excellent cocktails and superb food. The music was a bonus too. My friends and I enjoyed it so much we returned for a cocktail before dinner the following night and were greeted so warmly by our server from the previous night. Definitely worth a visit!

The food here is okay. Definitely above your typical Savannah offerings. But it takes itself way too seriously. And the people who go here think that they're way more posh & sophisticated than they actually are. The establishment feels the need to define what "tapas" are on the front page of their menu...which I found to be both condescending & insulting, as well as an indication of the type of clientele that go there, who probably do, in fact, need the help. These aren't traditional Spanish tapas either. So I find it somewhat ironic that they hit you over the head, right off the bat, with what "tapas" are supposed to be...and then serve food that falls outside that definition.

Traveling alone, so sat at bar. Delightful gal bartender served me. Loved the choices of tapas on the menu. I choose the beef tips, the sauce was blue cheesey and great to dip the bread in. I will say, if you're looking for action, Monday at 6, it's not hoppin ;)

Absolutely amazing! Definitely a tucked away delight in Savannah! I went with a date and we ate the Tapas for Two (definitely a great bargain)! There was a piano player who kept the atmosphere going and the food was to die for!!! I've never tried Escargot, thinking it would be rubbery, etc, but it was amazing! Blackened Salmon was mouth-watering! Can't go wrong here!

David J.

Great place for a drink and music. Had some food that was expensive for the amount presented, yet the food was not extra-ordinary to my taste buds. Can't remember the woman I was with, but I have not taken another there since, perhaps because of the lack of food we were served. Tapas!..yeah not! I need double Tapas. If you want to meet some people and listen to laid back music..this is the place. If you want food that is worthy of your hard earned dollars, go elsewhere.

Awesome !! This place is tucked away under the streets but once you find it you will always come back. The food was great and the atmosphere was even better. Live music, great eats and you almost feel like your not in Savannah. Almost.

Scott M.

Was pretty excited for this place given menu! Great staff, atmosphere, and band! Food was ok, but portions were not large (despite previous reviews) and were a little steep. $35 for 3 tapas given portions was a bit much. Yes, I know this is a tapas restaurant and it was not our first time at a place like this. I would certainly go back for music and drinks, but for the wife and I, we would eat before hand.

some of the best tapa's I've had. The live music was solid, and the atmosphere is comfortable. The food is mouth watering. Def a place I need to go more often.

Best food we had in Savannah. Wonderful live music. Our favorites: the she-crab stew (I could have just eatten that and been happy) and the beef satay. My partner loved the ahi tuna, as well. For a nice night out in Savannah, go to Jazz'd. Be aware that it is down a flight of stairs though.

Great drink specials during Happy Hour, great drinks period & they're not stingy with the alcohol! Small portions (tapa's) but perfect for hitting the spot. Great bartenders & staff. Make sure you don't leave Savannah without visiting Jazz'd!

Good atmosphere near bar. DO NOT sit in back room. Totally depressing. Pineapple upside down cake martini is amazing. The chorizo stuffed mushrooms taste like sweaty ball sack. Don't recommend those AT ALL. She crab soup and prosciutto wrapped scallops were delicious.

I've been waffling between 2 and 3 stars for this. Two feels too harsh; 3 feels too generous. We're vacationing in Savannah and have enjoyed fantastic meals at Sapphire Grill and Local 11 Ten. Jazz'd was half as good as either of those places. Our waitress here was nice, and we enjoyed the live music. The food wasn't bad. It just wasn't great. It also wasn't tapas. I don't think there was a single thing on the menu that I'd ever seen in a tapas bar in Spain (save the potato omelet). Just know this before you go there. We had the chorizo empanadas, which were actually stuffed with a spicy, flavorful shredded meat, not chorizo. This was not a bad thing: they really did a good job with this filling. I'd be happy eating a plate of it. The empanadas were plated atop the most sad piece of lettuce ever--bruised, torn, ugly. Whoever plated the dish should've used a bit of discretion and ditched that thing! The empanadas would've looked much better on a nakeddis, and I'm not one who cares much about presentation. The lamb chops were tender and flavorful, but as someone already commented, they had some kind of weird topping, like fried leeks gone wrong. Their caper tomato sauce was fine, but I think I might've drizzled a mint chimichurri over them and stopped there. Definitely need to ditch the weird topping. The espresso scallops (a special of the evening) came with a rich cream sauce that definitely needed some bread for dipping. They charge for bread (??), and it was that crappy Wonder Bread-style fake French bread that's soft. Ugh. It was served with olive oil, parmesan, and black pepper. Exactly the same as the what they served with the (free) bread at Sapphire, only COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Sapphire's oil and cheese combo tasted decadent, insanely good. The bread was homemade, filled with flavor, crunchy. At Jazz'd, it was hard Sysco-shredded parmesan. For $5.50 bread. Can Sysco just please go away? There's gotta be someone in town who can bake you guys some decent bread. Keep it in the freezer and pop it in the toaster--it'll be great! It's the details that make the difference. I'm glad we ate here once. If we lived here, we might go back. As tourists, we won't.

My husband and I stopped here on a Sunday night while visiting Savannah and fell in love with it. The decor is trendy, kind of industrial, with a sexy, curved bar. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the bartender's company while imbibing in perfectly mixed martinis. We had eaten a late lunch so just ordered two tapas (one shrimp and one scallops) and they were awsome. On stage was a singer/songwriter who played guitar. It was a wonderful way to spend the evening.

We were in Savannah and were looking for something atypical. We thought a Tapas spot would be perfect. they have live music, are centrally located and we generally love Spanish food. We ended up getting there during happy hour, which was nice because we saved a fwe bucks on drinks. I will say I was a bit disappointed by the food and the cold nature of the atmosphere. We ordered three plates. We had the baked chevre log in a cumin tomato sauce with garlic toast, the paella and the shrimp anmd grits plate. The baked chevre with the tomato sauce was okay, but it basicaly tasted like manicotti (nothing Spanish or Tapas about that). The paella was decent. The rice was a bit overcooked, but it wasn't so bad. the shrimp we had were great with the grits. Overall the total damage was just around $50, great price for 3 apps and 3 drinks. I don't think I'd go back if I was in the area, just sort of fell flat for me.

We had an early dinner at Jazz'd last week and were disappointed to discover that the live music didn't start until 9. Our food was hit and miss. I'll start with the misses. The She Crab stew was uninspiring and completely lacking crab. The Salmon was way overcooked and dried out. However, the dill sauce and zucchini cakes that accompanied it were delicious. The lamb special was, by far, the best of our selections. Cooked to perfection, its flavor was out of this world. We were really surprised by the red grape sorbet we ordered for dessert. It was served with creme fraiche and I was tempted to lick the plate clean. For the quality of the food, it seemed a bit over priced, especially considering there wasn't any live music. Our server was attentive (though, I believe we were her only table). I'm not sure I'd rush back to Jazz'd - but maybe I would stop by if there was a band playing and I could get more of that grape sorbet.

Vic H.

Didn't know what to expect as we had not heard of Jazz'd and stumbled on it. Really liked the decor and the vibe right away, which had a very distinct cool feel to it. It was a Monday night so it wasn't full, which meant our waitress was really able to engage in discussing the menu items, which were plentiful. She knew the menu well and made a few recommendations, which were right on. We enjoyed the Chevre Stuffed Chicken Breast, which was seared and served with sauteed wild mushrooms, and the Mussels Provencal, which were prepared in a tomato-based sauce instead of more-typical white wine, and this definitely provided a different flavorful experience for us. Our favorite dish, though, was the Blackened Salmon, which was grilled in cajun seasonings and garnished with tarragon mustard. The fish was very tender and the blackened flavor mixed with the mustard lit up our taste buds. Delicious and fun!

My husband and I came here because he's never experienced Tapas before and I wanted him to try it. We are not from Savannah - so we came to Jazz'd expecting traditional Tapas fare. That, it was not. It's tapas in the sense that the portions they serve are smaller appetizer/sharing sizes, but the food is more modern fusion. The drinks we ordered were delicious, so kudos to the bartender. I also agree with previous posts that the music isn't really Jazz, at least not the night that we went. There was an acoustic, one-man show. He was very good though.

Melted Cheese tapas was awesome. Wished my wife could have been here to enjoy it with me.

Commonwealth T.

Good for drinks and entertainment, not food. I'm of two opinions: Food: Yet another faux Tapas restaurant: ill thought out menu, a few obligatory Spanish dishes, poor preparation. There are a few good dishes (beef shoulder), but most is just. so. marginal. Overcooked fish. Bland flavors. Separating sauces. Really not very good. Bartender & Wine List: Excellent. The bartender has an encyclopedic knowledge and makes drinks with care. The wine list is similarly constructed with some excellent options in the upper "Select Wines," (Stags Leap Petit Sirah & Chard, Cakebread Chard, Caymus Cab). Excellent for drinks and entertainment, but I'd recommend walking a block or two to Circa 1875 for unbelievable Parisian food instead of eating here.

Not only is this restaurant not family friendly, but it is just unfriendly period and its attitude about nursing moms is straight from the 1950s. I am the woman who was turned away from Jazz'd when I was in Savannah for an American Bar Association convention. I just want to confirm that the hostess and owner were both very rude and unaccommodating, refusing to let me take a step past the hostess station because I had my baby in a stroller and they have a "policy" of no children under 18 allowed. They confirmed that this is not the law, but just a restaurant policy. I explained that my baby breastfeeds and had not yet learned to take a bottle, which is why I can't leave her behind. My party had a table in a private room, and I really don't see why this restaurant was so hostile to a rational request. It would have been no trouble at all to let me in with a baby into a private room, but they couldn't be bothered. I would understand if I was trying to sneak in a health hazard, like a dog, but this was a nursing, sleeping baby. Instead of graciousness and kindness, I was pointed to the elevator. The only bright side is that I was so upset at that point that I was glad they wouldn't get my hard earned money. Afterwards, six of my party left in solidarity, which I think speaks of their high character, regardless of how the owner has characterized it. I hope that this experience will encourage the owners of Jazz'd to realize the ludicrousy of the "no babies" policy and will foster a little more empathy towards a woman who is breastfeeding and still trying to work full time and attend conferences such as this one with her colleagues. It is only when these kinds of attitudes change, and that breastfeeding while being a working mom is tolerated and even celebrated, that women will truly be able to achieve equality in this country. Shame on Jazz'd for setting women back.

Jazz. Art. Wine. Food. Jazz'd is a lovely, underground tapas bar on Barnard Street. It can be difficult to find, so look for the sign and the stairs leading d.o.w.n........ My work wifey and I really loved this spot! We loved it so much we ate here three times! Three seemed to be the trend while in SAV. The only thing that I did not like is that smoking is allowed in the bar area. I live in Cali - what do you expect?! Remember, these are small plates. Order according to your hunger level. Now on to the food.... Must Haves: * Five Onion Soup - Cheesy & flavorful. Crouton was delish. * Black Bean Soup - A bit watery. Skip it. * Jazzy Chevere Tomato Dip - Creamy & smokey. Loved it. * Baked Cheese Plate - I love cheese. This was a favorite. * Citrus Shrimp & Scallop Skewers - Ordered this every time. Fresh and perfectly cooked. * Steak Diane - The wifey LOVED it. Well seasoned and flavorful. If you are thirsty, you can order bottles of wine to go. This service came in handy considering we were staying in a hotel. Recommended.

Lived down the street for two years... went there every chance that I could come up with a good enough reason. spring mix salad, she-crab soup, crab cakes, chevre and prosciutto shrimp, asiago grouper, and the terra cotta cheese plate are some of the highlights of the restaurant. The staff is always super friendly, most of them are local SCAD students (a local arts college that I used to attend myself) who would love nothing more than to discuss the art decorating the walls or what's going on this weekend in Savannah. the music is nothing special and it's often too loud if you're in the main dining area **They only take reservations for large groups!!*** (i think 8 or more), so if you have a smaller party... GET THERE EARLY, put your name in, and have a drink at the bar while you wait

Food is amazing, the bar is excellent. Music is a little too loud if your table is close. Get a table in the back if you want to hear yourself think.

We ate here on our first night in Savannah. I think this place was recommended to is by a guy working at the B&B where we were staying. The food here was just fine, not anything special. I wasn't crazy about the decor or ambiance either. Between two of us we ordered: - chorizo empanadas - crab stuffed mushrooms - seven layer dip - baked cheese plate with fruit and baguettes Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable. Wasn't crazy about the cocktails either. All in all, I was disappointed, especially since it was the first meal we had on our week long vacation of Charleston and Savannah. It's ok though because every other restaurant we dined at was great.

Jazz'd is all about Jazz. A hip, fluid martini bar and tapas restaurant located in a basement spot in the center of town. Excellent Expresso Martini's! Make sure to make reservations, otherwise the wait can be pretty long. Food was good, not out of this world. We all knew we were going to be hungry later. More of a two date spot over dining with a large party here. Music was good, the layout of the space didn't cater to the entertainment though.

Dave S.

Went here at 855 pm and happy hour ended at 9. Waitress said we could still get in on happy hour even though by the time we ordered it was after 9. Ordered a ton of small plates for 4 people And ended up dominating them all. Great drinking environment, great food, and even on the subsequent drinks ordered well after 10 pm, we got the special prices.

Very, very good. We ordered calamari and wine. The calamari was the best I have ever had - moist, tender, perfect. (Overcooked calamari is rubbery - yuck). The Merlot was fab - especially for the price and service was excellent. All in all, a very enjoyable dining out experience.

Simply excellent! The concept is called tapas, but what they're really more like half-sized entree portions. Their menu's great and the atmosphere is even better. When I was there the other night, there was a guy singing like the old crooners (Sinatra, etc.) and he was actually very good. They have a great deal there for $30 per person - the Tapas for 2. For that price you EACH get a soup or salad, 2 tapas, and dessert. Like I eluded to before, to call them tapas is an understatement. It's more of a large appetizer or small entree portion and we were more than stuffed by the end of the meal. I had an excellent "she crab" soup to start, which was basically a creamy crab chowder with petite bliss potatoes and a rich creamy broth. For my tapas, I selected the paella and the shrimp and grits - both items were excellent. My friends and I were actually sharing all of our choices, so I also got to try empanadas, stuffed mushrooms, an excellent warm assorted cheese terra cotta platter (brie, goat, gouda, and cranberry) that was served with toasted french bread, lamb chops, petite cast-iron filet mignon, and grilled shrimp and scallops with a citrus marinade. Everything was flavorful and delicious and it was fun to share all of our selections. For dessert, they offer 3 choices - butterscotch bread pudding, creme brulee, and a flourless chocolate torte. We got one of each, but we doubled up on the chocolate (there was 4 of us). I wish we had gotten the extra bread pudding instead because it was by far the best of the three, although I'm not saying that the torte and brulee weren't excellent as well. If I ever pass this way again, I'll definitely come back to this place and I would really recommend it to anyone who's planning on visiting the Savannah area.

I loved the food. Everything I had was awesome. That being said, I had to visit the toilet before I left, and again when I got back to the hotel. It's a nice, swanky place. The service is good. The prices are high. The food is delicious. And the bathroom is clean.

My new husband and I went to Jazz'd our first night in Savannah on our honeymoon. We were told by friends that this was a good place to eat and I agree. We got the Two for Tapas which was more than enough food for the both of us. If you are really hungry this might be a good choice. We didn't even finished the second course of food or the desert because we were so full. The food was really tasty though. The cheese stuff chicken was my favorite. The drinks were also really good. They have fresh mint mojitos and a mango mojito that was to die for. The band was really good too. Overall, I am a fan!!!

Love this place! I have been here several times....I love it in the basement: here is why, they took a space that would normally be wasted and made a romantic, sexy, smooth and trendy place out of it; love the artwork. They left the structure as is and painted to pipes overhead...it is just so cool, I cannot accurately describe how it looks it is one of those you have to see it to really appreciate it. I like to come early and enjoy the Tapas for two or any other combination of the Tapas, the servers try to bring them one at a time like a 3 or 4 course meal. The food is so good, I love the beef tips, onion soup, she-crab stew, everything is good. The desserts are fantastic, flourless tort and creme brulee..ummmm. The only drawback is on a Saturday night it was very busy and we did not get our Tapa's as they normally like to get them out due to the sheer volume of customers and this place is so popular that you will wait for a table. There are plenty of beautiful people to "people watch" and of course there is the bar. The Tapas are reasonably priced, but it is so hard to order only a few that it does get pricey when you want to try everything on the menu. I truly enjoyed my experiences here and will be back!

S. R.

Came here for dinner and got a few tapas to split with my friend... I ordered the lasagna and the artichoke dip.. both were delicious. The lasagna was baked well, not dry, and consisted of meat sauce, mushroom, pasta and cheese and I really enjoyed it considering I love all those components. The artichoke dip has to be one of the best ones I've had... it was not greasy nor was it bland and the flavors of the cheese were delicious... I also tried my friend's lettuce wraps with chicken.. it didn't look very appetizing, but the sauce they provided on the side was what made it.. pretty good I must say. As for the ambiance, it was amazing.. there was a very talented live band playing a fusion of what seemed like spanish/middle-eastern music and I must say... they were amazing! Overall, I had a nice experience here considering my friend and I were hungry and looking for a decent place to grab a bite after 10 pm.

Shannon C.

Of the 6 or so tapas that we ordered, the Terra Cotta Cheese Plate is the only memorable one. It's well proportioned and heartily filling for a tapas dish. Our server was very friendly and helpful in suggesting various points of interest among the Savannah nightlife options. Our wine was decent. The atmosphere left a little to be desired. And I still can't remember for the life of me what the other tapas were that we ordered.

Steve J.

What a hidden gem in savannah! I'm from NYC and this place can compete with the best of them. It's down a dark staircase and when you enter you think you are in an a dark jazz lounge. little do you imagine, that you are about to enter tapas heaven. The food is amazing. We ordered the tapas for two and were not disappointed. The food was very plentiful and all our dishes were very well prepared and seasoned. We had a very good waiter and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this place if you want to try some great tapas.

Excellence is the only way to describe Jazz'd!! The wait staff and bartenders are always very friendly and attentive. The music is always wonderful. The atmosphere is excellent for a date night or for a girls night out. The Tapas for Two deal is definitely the way to go being it is more than enough food for two people. The martinis are by far the best I have ever had anywhere! This is by FAR the best place I have ever been to and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Good food. Best calamari I've ever had. I ordered a vodka martini and was disappointed. My fault. I told them what I wanted and it was perfect. Great place. Went on a Sunday, and loved the band.

Jazz'd was just a few blocks from our hotel and was our first stop in Savannah. It turned out to be a great way to start our anniversary trip. A basement jazz bar and restaurant was great for dinner and I can see it being a great late night spot as well. Its a very colorful restaurant with lots of local art on the walls. We went on a Thursday night and they had a local guy singing the the likes of the Rat Pack. The singer was outstanding...couldn't figure out why he's in Savannah because it sounded like he could make it anywhere. Jazz'd calls itself a tappas restaurant but I didn't see one tappa, however the menu is all small plates or apps and shrunken enterees. We ordered the tappas for two for $60 and what a deal that was. Each person picks soup or salad then share any four "tappas" then each chooses a dessert. It sounds like a lot but since their small plates it was the perfect amount of food. The five onion soup was good but the she crab soup they brought out by mistake was delicious just based on the one spoonful I had. Wife had the Jazz'd salad which she enjoyed. We then split the beef satay with plantains and marmalade which I enjoyed more than my wife. The calamari was the bottom of the four tappas we had. It was a bit bland and soggy. Soggy fried food just sucks. The shrimp and grits were the highlight. Large savory shrimp, cooked just right and served over creamy grits with a tomato onion broth. Finally was the stuffed chicken breast...stuffed with leeks and extra creamy potatoes. My all time favorite dessert is creme brÃ»lÃ©e, any variation will do and if you put enough strawberries on it that one of the best food combinations, but when the chef goes cheap and uses vanilla extract instead of the real vanilla bean it completely screws up a great dessert, the two don't compare. The wife had the bread pudding which was okay, it seemed to be missing the custard but still good flavor. The drink menu boasted a lot of martinis and every Thursday night they have $6 signature martinis for ladies only. Service was great, couldn't have been better. Overall the food was good and that paired up with the live music makes it four stars in my book.

If you are like my husband and I, you are in your 30's and not into staying out all night just to drink like you used to. We now like a night out with good food, drinks, and live music doesn't hurt either. Well, this place was definitely right up our alley. We ordered the Tapas for Two and it was more than enough food for us. It includes a salad each, 4 tapas dishes, and dessert each. We both had the Caprese salad and it was good. Not the best I've ever had, but enjoyable nonetheless. We also had the chicken lettuce wraps and they were very good. A bit spicy for my bland palate, but I liked it a lot. My husband loved it as well and he likes spicy food. The spinach artichoke dip with pita chips is awesome too. The best part was the pita chips though. A bit crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. I could have eaten 100 of them, but luckily there is only about 6-8 on the plate. My husband ordered a beef tenderloin dish in vodka sauce with blue cheese (I don't eat beef so I didn't order it or eat it). He said it was the best thing he had there. He raved about it. He highly recommends it. Lastly....the shrimp fritters. Ok, to be fair, I'm not a huge seafood or shrimp fan, but I'll eat it and be ok with it. These were horrible. I ate one and had to force myself to finish it and couldn't eat anymore. Even my husband who is a seafood lover only ate one. It was the only place with food left on it. They were terribly fishy tasting and smelling. Yuck. I do not recommend these AT ALL. For dessert, we both had the chocolate torte. It was moist and flavorful. We had a few drinks (wine for me, top shelf drinks for husband) and we were surprised by how inexpensive they were. The live music was enjoyable and we had a nice, relaxing evening. The place itself is downstairs in a dark room. It has perfect lighting for an evening out. The decor is great and the bar has every kind of alcohol imaginable. Now, I would have given this place more stars but I couldn't because of the smoking. Every where I've lived for the past 5 years (MN, CA, and FL) do not allow smoking in bars or restaurants. We had to sit at a bar table or wait an hour. They allow smoking in the bar and we had to deal with it. I had to dock a star for this. Luckily only a few people smoked while we were there, but yuck...that is all. If you want a nice evening out with good food, drinks and entertainment, you won't be let down. Just wait for the table in the dining room.

I went here with a group during St. Patrick's Day weekend. The ambiance is really interesting - it looks kind of loungey, but it is more like a restaurant with a nice bar. The waiters and bartenders are really friendly, and there was a really great band playing, Bottles and Cans. The food was amazing. I had a dip with warm pita bread, and scallops and shrimp with some kind of fruity (maybe mango?) glaze. The portions were good - just the right size. Definitely a place to eat when visiting Savannah. I am going back next time I visit Savannah.

Our party of 5 had a wonderful time - the food was wonderful, the drinks fabulous and the staff terrific. Had the Citrus Shrimp and Scallop Skewers, Salmon on Zucchini cake, Proscuitto wrapped Scallops, chocolate torte and couldn't have been happier. Sangria, watermelon martini and key lime martini were winners. Going again before we leave!

I had a horrible experience here, as did my friends. A man who seemed to be the manager (?) ranted and yelled when I tried to find out more about why our friends with a small, sleeping baby had been asked to leave. See his response below if you have any doubts about his attitude toward customer service. I won't point out all the ways his post is inaccurate, except to say that his rudeness and hostility speak for themselves. The one saving grace was that his wife said she would take care of our bill, after he said we could leave if we didn't like what had happened.

We ate here on our second night of a romantic weekend trip to Savannah. When we saw the menu online, we were psyched--the dishes sounded great! We had also heard that the place had been getting a lot of buzz lately, which seemed very promising. Our experience at Jazz'd left me, well, very unjazzed. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes (as a party of two!) which wasn't very fun, since there was nowhere to sit at the bar and enjoy the atmosphere and a drink. The long wait subconsciously set up the expectation for awesome food and admittedly I was feeling grumpy at this point. The food was pretty mediocre at best; the highlight was the cheese plate, which says a lot. This could have been forgivable though if we'd had decent service. We waited over 15 minutes to even be greeted by our server, and had to order our drinks twice...total wait time for a beverage: 25 minutes. Granted, there were some big parties around and the restaurant was busy, which understandably can slow things down. But that was just ridiculous. Our server was pretty much MIA all night, and luckily some other nice waitstaff picked up the slack to actually get us food, silverware, etc. Our server gave us a lame "Sorry I ignored you all night" comment (verbatim). On the plus side, the atmosphere was nice and a little different than a lot of places in Savannah, and the live music was good. Overall however, I thought it was a big disappointment; it's one of those places you walk out and are sad that you just spent a large chunk of change on food you could have had at TGI Fridays. With better service and a shorter wait. Also, this place is a smoking establishment--so be ready to have your clothes and hair stink.

Great bar scene....almost always meet someone... The food is a little hit or miss but the calamari as well as the prosciutto-wrapped shrimp are good bets. Nice bartenders and a classy but relxed vibe...

After reading the mixed reviews, we decided to give it a try anyway, and are very glad that we did. The food quality was great, as was the atmosphere. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

We had drinks here after a great dinner, and they were great. Perfect Manhattan and the GF had a nice Kir Royale. The music was good, the crowd was hot. The prices were good too. Try it.

The food here is pretty good, although it is not a good place to take a date because the music here is so loud you have to shout to hear each other. The drinks were okay, although they did not have many beers on draft. It is not a good place to come for dinner because you will leave hungry so I would probably just recommend coming here for drinks and something to munch on.

So here's a late review. But we've been here twice and have enjoyed both times. This brings back the hip memories of the trendy lounges in Atlanta. Although not quite there, but definitely not a wannabe either. The first time we went was on a Saturday night. Wow, were they packed. We somehow managed to find seats at the bar and ordered a Dirty Goose and a Frozen Margarita. I must say that this is one of the best martinis I've ever had. While we waited for our table, we ordered the crab cake appts. Out came two perfectly sized cakes for $8. These were amazing and the best in Savannah. Sorry, I was too drunk to describe the taste now. Any who, we got to our table and was greeted by a very friendly server. We ordered calamari, clams, and fillet tips cooked in a bleu cheese and vodka sauce. Everything was great. The fillet made us want to throw up tough because by the time we got that we were filled with alcohol to the point of gaging to the taste of more. Otherwise, it would have been great. We ended up spending about $300 there but it was well worth it. And besides, by the time the night was over, I had already dropped over a grand so Jazz'd was just a small and pleasant dent. Our second time was for drinks only and once again we had wonderful drinks. Met a couple there that night and just went from there. Great place for locals and great place for tourist. Savannah is hip and trendy after all.

What a great place! The atmosphere was awesome and the live music was great. The food was to die for and you MUST try the Mango Mojito! I went here with a group of girls, which was great because we all ordered different things, giving us the opportunity to sample a lot of items. I tried so many things that I actually don't remember what I ordered, but I'm not sure you can go wrong with any of the items on the menu. If you were on a date I would definitely try the Tapas for 2 - it's $60 but would be well worth it...it gives you a choice of soup or salad, 4 tapas selections 2 desserts and soft drinks or coffee...such a deal! I don't remember what selections they have for dessert other than whatever creme brulee they offered...it was my weekend obsession apparently...which was oh so good and a large portion, which was a nice surprise. This was definitely my favorite dinner spot from my weekend in Savannah!

Great staff----good food, but not consistent unfortunately. Its hip, has live music, and has delicious desserts. Definitely a place to check out----but dont be disappointed if you are a food snob.

My only suggestion would be to make a reservation, and visit regularly so you can try the entire menu, you won't be disappointed.

We've been to Jazz'd probably half a dozen times and have never been disappointed. I'm a bit surprised at all of the negative reviews - and certainly surprised at the "nursing mother" reviews, since it's clearly and plainly posted outside that there are age requirements to enter. Apparently some people don't understand that it isn't just about minors consuming alcohol, but that it's an inappropriate environment for babies and children. Personally, I think more restaurants should adopt that attitude; I don't want your kids crying, running around, and generally disrupting my meal, and I certainly don't want you breast feeding at the table next to me. I'm all for feminism and a big champion of women's rights, but also basic decency and courtesy. Since most people cannot/will not control their children and some women think pulling their breasts out in public is perfectly acceptable (I don't care what your reason is - excuse yourself to the bathroom), I appreciate the restaurant protecting the rest of us. Now, back to what really counts - the food. Look, it's not "traditional" tapas, okay, but it's also in Savannah, GA. They have a website, so feel free to review their menu before entering. Overall, I think Jazz'd is great. I love the Terra Cotta Cheese Plate and the Jazzy Chevre Dip; I order those every time. I also usually get the calimari, which is awesome. If you get the Tapas for Two, don't miss the She Crab Soup, which is some of the best I've ever had. Honestly, those things are so good that I usually don't branch out much, but I have had the tuna (good) and the seven layer dip (no longer on the menu, but good) and a few other things. Some of the new additions have been more hit or miss, like this sweet tea marinated fried chicken we tried that wasn't as good as it could have been, but none of it has ever been bad. The chocolate cake, though, is not good; I've had the bread pudding twice, and once it was blah, and the second time amazing. They definitely need to mix the dessert offerings up. As far as the atmosphere goes, I like live music, but sometimes it really is way too loud. I've been a few times where, after shouting at the people at my table for a while, we just gave up on talking. The servers have always been polite, but it's not consistently the best service in town -- though generally the hosts/servers have been accommodating. I'd give it a solid four stars, but I love the cheese so much that I think it deserves a five, especially to balance out the reviews based on the fact that they don't want babies and boobies in the restaurant.

My husband and I went there based on Yelp reviews and the experience was totally surpassed our expectations (and we had high expectations). We ordered Tapas for Two ($60) and it included 2 salads or soup, 4 tapas, 2 desserts and 2 coffees. The tapas portions were big (1/2 entree size) and they were executed with creativity. Their shrimp & grits had 6 grilled shrimps on top of very creamy grits and a slightly spicy tomato sauce. Martini marinated tenderloin tips was tender with a blue cheese green olive sauce that was totally delicious as a dip. My husband loves the chorizo empanadas. 3 good size empanadas with a spicy kick and touch of cumin, but the cucumber cream (sour cream?) that came with it balanced the dish very well. Usually unless the place has a separate dessert chef, desserts are run of the mill. Not with Jazz'd, they DO have a separate dessert chef and the chocolate flourless torte was the smoothest that I have tasted. My husband's bread pudding had just enough sweetness (not the typical southern sugar-bomb). Live music from Tuesday to Sunday, some good artworks exhibited there too. We will definitely go back.

My wife and I and another couple on vacation in Savannah for a week just had to check this place out .......sounded like a really cool place for music, drinks and maybe a Tapa or two. We really hit it big when we stumbled on this place. The bar prepared outstanding drinks, the music was fantastic (however a bit loud) and the food very , very good. I know it must be hard to do so many appetizer type dishes well but I do believe they have it mastered. Word of caution....Carefull on the amount of Tapas you order as servings are good size and you can fill-up in no-time!! We selected the complete meal with dessert (four Tapas I think plus dessert ......I had to pinch hit for the wife as she just could not eat it all. She Crab Soup is a must have. So......if you are in the river city for any time at all try this Bar if you like Music, Drinks, Tapas, Good Service and by all means a clean restroom.

We arrived into Savannah late on a Friday night absolutely starving. The concierge from the hotel recommended Jazz'd as a solid late night eatery so we gave it a shot. The tapas menu was a bit more expensive than we were used to (and that's Atlanta prices!) but the items were ordered were quite good. We got the seven layer dip, carne asada lettuce wraps and the home made lasagna. All were quite good and definitely filled us up. The food itself would have gotten 4 stars for being quite tasty, but a bit over priced. I dropped it down a star because of the service. We didn't get here until 10pm so by that point the dining room wasn't very crowded. Because servers had been cut, all the sections were no longer open so the only table we could get was in a small room with a large, noisy party.

This place is a mellow and cool under ground jazz joint. Great atmosphere and even better food! Their service was exceptional too.

A great social dinner environment. The tapas menu has a large variety of items. None of which are a poor choice in my opinion. I read the reviews before going to this place and I agree that the onion soup is something you cannot miss. I also enjoyed the beef shoulder with the potato au gratin. The chicken with chevre cheese was a little on the salty side for my palate. The coconut shrimp was outstanding. The lasagna was light for a usually heavy dish and was surprisingly good. The chorizo empanadas were great. They had a creme sauce on the side that cut the heat perfectly. A great touch was the fat tire beer they offer. Something I can't l get in my town and this is a beer that goes very well with just about everything on the menu. Overall, I highly recommend dinner here and I would come back with hesitation.
