    Great evening of music and food with family and friends. Sound was excellent and we'll mixed. Not too loud so you could hold a conversation but crisp and clean enough to hear the performers and their instruments well. The food was good but there are bot many options on it. Service was good but a bit slow but the house was full and they were short staffed. Listening to the music and talking, you almost forget that you ordered something.

    I didnt know really what to expect, but this place was so cool! We showed up a little late for the show and they were able to discount our tickets. The experience was awesome. The music is so enticing and just sets the mood. And even once the music was done, the vibe was still there and very relaxing. The food choices weren't that many but it was just enough. Chicken panini and gouda burger were bomb!

    Was just at Dazzle to hear Samw Cloth. It was an amazing show. The venue is great for a nosh with great music. It says it is a supper club but the menu does not reflect that service was friendly but not fast. The band was truly the star of the evening. The lead singer has a crazy range Great assortment of songs. All of the members of the band played with so much skill. You could tell they love to perform together.

    We’ve been coming here for 6 years now (started back when they were on Broadway) & have always had a lovely experience…. until tonight. We invited another family to join us for a Christmas show and it was just a crummy experience from start to finish. Our seating wasn’t set together (even though I left a voicemail & emailed weeks in advance). They did scramble to get us two mismatched tables in the way back while later parties were seated in front of us. Then the service was embarrassingly disjointed. Our food came out 25 minutes later than the other family we were with. Our friend literally finished a full steak meal long before our meals arrived. Around 20 minutes after our friend’s plates were delivered our waitress (without a note of apology) came to report that our food was so late because our son’s ordered their burgers well done. We were stunned. Same thing happened with dessert- ours came out much later than our friends & well after the checks were delivered. It was as though we had truly done something to offend our waitress. Overall- super embarrassed that we invited friends to witness this and disappointed that we spent so much $$ @ Christmas time for this terrible experience. Sad to say, after 6 years of patronage, we’ll be taking a co-workers recommendation and heading to another popular downtown jazz club next time.

    This place is great and we happened to see a great band for our first time. We saw Kind Folk from New York and they were just amazing. The venue is small and intimate and you can really hear the music and see them close up and personal. The food and drinks were delicious. We tried the cauliflower buffalo wings and they were so good. The service was excellent too! Right in the heart of downtown you must go check this place out. ♥️

    I feel like Dazzle deserves more than 5 stars. I attended a show tonight and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had anywhere. The food was delicious, the honeycomb vanilla ice cream was one of the best ice creams I have ever had. The artists who performed were full of passion, and energy. They were great performers and I had fun, I was encouraged, and I felt the whole range of emotions. The performance was powerful and memorable. I had attended a show at dazzle (2 locations ago) many many years ago, their new location in DPAC is amazing. I like that now all the seats face the stage. Service was exceptional. I wish I was able to go to Dazzle more! It is a great place to celebrate a special occasion. Both times I have gone to Dazzle I have not known the artist performing or had any prior experience with their music. Both times the artists have been incredible. Go to Dazzle, any night, no matter who is performing. You will not be disappointed!

    First impressions of the “New” Dazzles at the Performing Arts Center. Did not order food so no comments on that. Most importantly the sound was excellent. Clear and bright. It probably helped that Renee Marie and the local musicians that made up the band were all terrific. The physical layout and atmosphere is comfortable yet modern and energetic. Interesting and creative design elements. It’s very different and to me a nice upgrade from the previous location. Have to mention that reserved seating is much appreciated. Looking forward to visiting often.

    Last night we saw Sarah Mount and The Rushmores in a fabulous performance. The pianist and sax players were especially amazing. What stood out beyond the music, was the kindness and understanding of the staff. We were seated in the back (cheaper) seats. A large group sat in front of us who disregarded the "no talking policy". The staff asked them to quiet and relocated us to a table near the stage. I truly appreciate the attentiveness and commitment of staff to make this musical venue a place to honor all who perform. I look forward to visiting Dazzle in the new space in 2023.

    What a wonderful experience and wonderful evening. The sound was perfect and the food was great. I had the salmon sliders and would have them again. Can’t wait to go again!

    This is a fun, old-school supper club facility. The sound is great. The food is good. The service is superb. And remember, when you buy your ticket (which should be done in advance at the Dazzle website) you are helping promote and support the local arts.

    What a classy business. Today I was able to experience their Christmas special show. They welcomed families from a nearby women’s shelter and provided a meal with dessert and gift cards for the kids. I mean what a class act during the holidays! Wish nothing but the best for this business!

    A triumph! Our expectations were sky high. And they were exceeded. Stellar service and delightful atmosphere. Every staff member we were lucky enough to meet was clearly empowered to do whatever they could to make our evening enjoyable and - it worked! We all expect world class music at Dazzle and not only did we get it, it’s world class music presented in the most wonderful, intimate way. As though the entire night was designed just for us! We can not thank you enough and we can’t wait to be back! Oh! And i docked a star from the food because it’s going to take some getting used to that the old Dazzle burger and the like can’t be served at the new venue. But what IS on the menu was perfectly fine. The watermelon salad was really good and so were the desserts. And yes, we did sample most of those…😎

    The new location is sleek and functional. Gone are the cushy booths, ill lit room, and wrap around bar. If you are going for a main stage performance, do not sit near the bar. It can be tough to hear a show from over by the bar area. The bar seating is not suitable if you need a back or cushion. The salmon salad was delicious. The former location will be missed, but they did bring over the carrot cake. It is valuable that they made it to this arts district space.

    This place is a winner. If you want date night at any stage of a relationship this is just a painfully easy choice. Drinks and food ande great and they offer modern payment solutions that make the entire experience effortless fun.

    I had an awesome time!! I was in Denver for work. A friend recommended Dazzle, I made my reservation and went by myself. It was the best decision ever. Shamar Allen was awesome!! He engaged the crowd and has a funny personality. If I'm ever in Denver again I will surely revisit.

    Everything about Dazzle, excluding the music, is trending away from the traditional jazz venue. The tap beer menu is eclectic (a red ale, a Mexican dark lager, and a hefeweizen). The food offerings are mostly finger food, and the lighting is all daylight white LEDs. It doesn't feel like a home for jazz at all. It feels uptight, just a few ticks away from feeling like I'm at the dentist. It's lost it's intimate, cozy aesthetic. The menu system Isa little rough, as are the bathrooms. Everything just feels unfinished. Having said all that, once the music begins, none of this matters. They have some nice scotch whiskies and wine, and if what you're looking for is great jazz, definitely visit.

    Seating arrangement to watch jazz sucks makes no sense. Interesting response I figured my review would have been taken as constructive criticism and something to reconsider for your restaurant. Assuming I paid the lowest priced ticket is odd. I honestly don’t know what is to be considered tier 1 or 2, but I would assume sitting in the very front facing the stage would be considered the prime spots. However, your front facing booths are not accommodating to parties of more than 6. Being sat right next to the stage next to accommodate large parties is not very comfortable. Overall, the place is nice, food was good, service was good, but I would suggest if the purpose of the place is based on jazz performances that the overall space be accommodating for the majority to comfortably enjoy watching jazz performances.

    The Blue Note in Denver? Not - no this is much more intimate with top notch dinner and drink service as well as noted area and national jazz artists. Kudos for a great new venue where many traditions will be born in the jazz world. Creative drink and food menu with attentive service. This is a music scene of the right proportion for Denver. Thank you Dazzle!

    The food was a little disappointing but the jazz program was outstanding. 🤩. The tribute to Dale Brunning was so touching. Such an amazing local composer and musician. Thanks for providing a jazz club for the Denver community.

    The Sax Syndicate was awesome. Food and drinks were delicious and our server Felix was super nice. We will definitely come back here for another show. The hotel theatro valet parking was full but there is a garage right around the corner at the Curtis Hotel that had parking.

  • 4/5 Robert A. 3 months ago on Google New
    It's a dazzling spot at which to see and hear jazz performances up close and personal. A varied drink and food menu. Creamy delicious hot chocolate had mini marshmallows! Attentive table service did not distract during the performance, but QR option also available. Two musical notes. One, a 20% house gratuity is included. Two, website emphatically states each patron is required to order a minimum of 2 food or drink items, however, such a requirement was not stated by staff at entry, nor wait staff, nor the MC. When asked about it afterward, staff stated it was not a hard and fast requirement. However, we complied anyway. Go and be dazzled!

    I went here with my family for the Annie Booth Trio Charlie Brown Christmas special that they've been doing for the last 8 years, although this is my first time attending. I've been to Dazzle at their old location and now at the newer location. It's a beautiful place, and as much as I liked the old place I feel like this place was meant for them. They were very accommodating to us we had a party of eight we had a great table a great server named Santiago. The drinks were great, the food was terrific. The entire atmosphere of the night was just what I needed during this holiday season. I have the utmost respect for Dazzle and everything they've done for their community over the past years during this pandemic if you don't know what I'm talking about I highly suggest you Google it. I can't recommend this place enough to anybody who is looking for a good jazz bar, I'll certainly be back for the Charlie Brown Christmas as long as they do it.

    Music is why we go to Dazzle, the food and drinks complete a great experience every time. Just saw Christian McBride & Inside Straight, an amazing band. Ordered my fave wedge salad plus a dry gin martini with The Botanist. A great night, a great club, GO!

  • 5/5 RJ F. 2 years ago on Google
    Magnificent evening! Live show featuring the Denver Jazz Orchestra and Kat was singing. Terrific musicians and the song selections were all on point. I had two glasses of red wine plus the Chicken Parmesan entree. My meal was superb! The venue is very cool and I am looking forward to my next visit! Definitely returning.

    By far the best food I had in Denver. I am writing this review while am here on a date with my wife. She had the burger (5*) and I had the Alfredo (5*). The music in the this place is spectacular and the atmosphere is very ambiance.

  • 5/5 TOshia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went last night and caught the 9:30 show. It was amazing. It made for a great first date and the food is amazing. We shared the Mexican pizza and it was to die for. Also loves my strawberry rhubarb cocktail. Will be going back in the future.

    Such good food and people, the owner is a bit much, but everything else is fantastic. I know people who have played here live and are amazing bands, and performers, I've been here for their jazz music as well as some of their other bands overall, I remember they even have other such events, once there was an art night of some sort. The environment is romantic, soothing, and exquisite to say the least. Their brunch is delicious as well, they have one of the best chefs in Denver after all.

    More of a 2.5 star review but will round up in the holiday spirit. So Dazzle has both good and bad points. The good is great and the bad is the lack of attention to detail by the wait staff. Let's start with the bad so we can end on a good "note", pun intended. Let's start with a 20% gratuity on every bill, I have found in the past that places that do this tend to have poor service and this was no exception, Service was slow, food was brought to the table incomplete and the "be right back" turned out to be after we gave up. Drinks ran dry repeatedly and I had the smallest martini I have ever seen, the glass was half empty when it arrived and that was disappointing on multiple levels as the martini was pretty darn good. Super expensive for half a glass. As expected the food was a little pricey but I did consider the location and expected top notch service based on the forced gratuity. I welcome few things more than tipping for great service and 20% is low in my book for great service but I would have been tipping in the 7-9% range for the service that we received. As a comparison we ate at Sams #3 next door on the previous Saturday evening and left a 35% tip. So poor service, half full drinks, no refills when we were dry and hoping the server would reappear and an incomplete food order that finished arriving after we finished eating. Ugh. Now on to the good, really enjoyed the atmosphere and the feel of the club, great seats, not sure if there is a bad seat in the place. The food menu was good and we could load up on drinks and nibbles before the show. The music was wonderful and the house was warm and intimate. The trio interacted with the audience and was absolutely top notch. I was happy to see that the trio were all smiling throughout the performance, watching people enjoy what they are doing is always a great thing to see. We all agreed that Dazzle was a place to keep on our radar and was the start to a great evening downtown. I know that Dazzle has a long history in Denver and this was a first time visit and first impression for us.

    Great place overall they all make you feel welcome. Food is amazing

  • 5/5 K.R. H. 2 years ago on Google
    Classy place to see live music, great cocktails and exceptional service. If you’re staying in the area, I highly recommend getting tickets to a show here and having cocktails and snacks. If you live in the area and haven’t tried this place, what area you waiting for? Make it a date, what a lovely spot. ***Buy tickets in advance and get here ~10 minutes before doors open to get good seats.***
