Felt like I was back in the 40s. Beautiful.

First time being here, and I was impressed! I would have given this place a five star rating if it weren't for the food, which was a solid 2 out of 5 alone. But the atmosphere, the talent, the love and even the vendors were genuine. I will definitely be back to support! Maybe just eat before I come next time. :)

An amazing experience performing at this venue. The staff is great and the food is INCREDIBLE.

We went to enjoy the Cypher and it was just amazing overall. The live entertainment, the love that was being brought to everyone. I will definitely go back.

Nice, intimate cozy spot. Reasonable drink prices and the variety of food looked good. I would definitely visit again.

I went for a private event and this space was amazing! The staff and food were top-tier! I would highly recommend.

It was my Cousin's Birthday celebration and I performed a few songs from my My Truth album. I love the sound system as well as the hard work the engineer or sound check Guy ( I forgot his name) he put in to make the sound excellent. I would definitely come back and perform again or just be a part of the audience.

Excellent place to spend an evening to listen to jazz music. Food was excellent and staff was nice! Definitely will go back again!

It was really nice! Enjoyed the music, nostalgia and the food. Atmosphere was relaxing, laid back and upbeat. Service was great! First time there, will be back!

Had a great jazz experience with Will Cyprian and Nick Stone.

Great time at the Jazz Cafe! Attentive staff No problem parking. Awesome vibes!

Very impressive place. Did a show with my good friend "Emmanuelle Jacob" and just WOW 🥰 So much history here and glad to be part of it.

Interesting. Not for me however.

I always enjoy going to the Jazz Café. I was just recently there for the Mack and Third Pop-up Fundraiser for Kem hosted by Urban Organic. There were two awesome performances by Madison McFerrin (NY) and Anthony David(ATL). It's such a nice and cozy atmosphere with friendly staff. I have attended several open mic shows that my Cousin Joel Fluent Green hosts as well. If you haven't been to a show, you must venture out and go.

Grilled Chicken Salad was delicious I would stop in every day just for your salad and My Long Island Iced Tea.. And hear some soft jazz...

The Aretha the Aretha jazz club I had the chicken patty for dinner it was a little spicy for me and I was not to eat it but they in turn offered me another meal wing dings and fries and they were just as good and also refunded me the difference very nice

The scenery was magnificent. I went there for a poetry event. The setting was perfect. They have a lot of small tables facing the stage and comes with everything you need for sounds. The staff was great. It's worth the price!

AMAZING TIME! Cozy, yet open and inviting, perfect for a 1st time date or a place just to talk and eat while listening to soft jazz in the background.

Comedy show was excellent Mike Chase and them did there thing

oh my goodness we had a great time. nice drinks, wait very good lemon drop martini... off the chain. good music good people and good vibes. I will go back.

10/29/23: Nice place. Food was a cheeseburger w/bacon and fries, and it was good. Drinks(the two I had) were too sweet for me, but at least not "light" in alcoholic content. Bartender was cool, though not the most talkative. The performances that day were... very impromptu. I'm not sure about how it works, but they do seem to allow beginners, students, or anyone who is interested in doing a live performance come up on stage and perform(assuming that you have to call in advance to be placed in the schedule). The playing(that day) wasn't always perfect for sure, but it was still overall enjoyable listening to people play and appreciate the musical style.

Loved the ambiance and the food and service was amazing!! My only problem is the venue was TOO crowded!!

I was there to see s friend perform. The atmosphere was excellent. Need to showcase more up and coming local artists there, It quaint, intimate and I definitely would go again. I gave 1 star for food because I only had fries, drinks were tasty.

Nice spot.

Enjoyed shopping at the music hall boutique, listen to music

Golden Ram Entertainment and Funny Man Mike Chase put on an amazing show & I can't wait to see them on the main stage again like father's day. I will recommend more wait staff on the days they put on shows, as it was only 1 waiter on the night of the 28th. But anywho the establishment is very nice, classy decor, definitely a whole grown and sexy vibe. I definitely will come back to another show!! Thank you Aretha Franklin Jazz Cafe, Golden Ram Entertainment & Mike Chase

It's a beautiful space though a little crowded for my taste. I felt bad for the wait staff trying to maneuver in between the tables. It sounded pretty good and I would definitely go back again.

Great vibe, nice people, great live music!

Excellent venue for intimate setting for any band. Sound is great as well.

I went for an open mic and it was amazing. It was a total vibe. Some awesome acts and the music was great. This was my first time being here and I loved it.

nice joint..friendly staff..classy place

Intimate venue with good sound. The small menu has good tasty choices and the food was well prepared.

Intimate gathering and first time seeing a Grammy; most appropriate venue in honoring our Queen, Aretha! Appreciate historical info from superb African Jazz band on Nia, day of Kwanzaa celebration. Great celebration❤

Great small venue for beginning to experienced jazz vocalists and instrumentalists. Every Sunday from 6-9PM

What an awesome spot. My wife and I were in town visiting from Canada and we had an amazing even of Jazz. A lot of local musicians performed on the Sunday evening and it was an absolute delight.

Love this little spot in the city! Great place for up and coming artists, musicians and poets!!!! Food and service is ALWAYS on point!!!

Very cool spot. Great folks working there. They could use better vegan food options though.

Some of the friendliest artists I've ever met. Great wait staff. Great drinks. Great music. Great vibes.

This is the most fun ever!!! I'm having a blast. Derek and Eric are amazing every drink they make is delicious. They are sooo very hospitable and I appreciate them. And Ted is awesome. Love this place.💜💜💜💯💯

Today my experience was terrible, waitress with platinum hair didn't want to be there. Show started late paid for parking ,food,drinks and ticket.Had a table of 5 couldn't finish our food nor drinks.We were being put out by a lady for the next show,we haven't finished our drinks nor food,had to carry my food out.

Date night with the husband... Great jazz ensemble... Bens friends jazz legacy. Good food good service welcoming atmosphere 🎶❤

This place is nice you can go for a date you can stop and have a drink get a bite of food and the atmosphere is amazing

Enjoyed Will Cyprian immensely last night. Food and drinks on point. Get out of the house and support local artists! Detroit has some of the world’s finest.

Had a great burger & beverage here. Love the room, great ambiance and will definitely be back to catch a Jazz performance.

Good spot

Great atmosphere

Dope environment

Very mature crowd

Laid back and relaxed

Great sound!

It was great!!!

Very Beautiful place. Food is Great!🌯 Drinks very good 🥂 Atmosphere is very professional 👍 Loved it💖👌🙌👍

This is one of My FAVORITE places on Earth.......period. Classy as well as CLASSIC ;-) Absolutely LOVE this place

This has always been a very classy. We were there for the Althea Renee album release and she did an incredibly good job, along with her accompanying band. I definitely plan on returning for events.

over priced for event.

Beautiful venue with GREAT performers. You want to see the talent behind Motown, come here. Wow.

You can watch the growth of young and old at there craft.

We had an awful experience, had no idea we had to leave after the first set they practically kicked us out. The waitress did not want to be there, they put our food in to-go boxes and we didn't even finish our drinks. No class, took our money and put us out by 7:20, never experienced anything like it....Wow!

Intimate venue, great for a small show. There were some flys in the air, which were a bit annoying. Service was good, staff was friendly.

My daughter was performing there. It was a nice cozy setting. I just wasn't prepared to buy anything since my daughter was performing!

Beautiful, warm and great service atmosphere. Would recommend for private party settings.

Nice space. Service should be organized better. A little planning before a show will make your servers money and make your guest smile.

Really enjoyed myself

We got free tickets from Greektown Casino.We had a free bus shuttle there and back, to the music hall center on Friday September 10th @ 8:00pm. It was a wonderful time to listen to music from Led Zeppelin! The name of the band was "WindBorne's"! Music of Led Zeppelin. The band & choir was very awesome music! I definitely give it a 10+. We had a really great time, the drinks was also very great. Now they gave us free tickets to "Air Supply" for Friday September 24th. Really looking forward to this show!!! I love Air Supply, every song is awesome😀

One of the best venues in the world. Ted Nadgey is on of the best people. I love the location, staff and acoustics

Had an absolutely wonderful time at the Jazz Cafe! Staff is very friendly and the performance that night was great!

Great club

Very disappointed that I could only find one thing on the menu that was suitable for vegans. The Prince ”Dirty Mind Tribute 4” was awesome though!

Beautiful venue for casual dining with family and friends.

Small and cozy venue for nice jazz experience. Lemon Drop Martini was awesome.

Awesome entertainment.

Very friendly environment. Enjoyed the show. Great date night 💖

Beautiful music 5 out of 5 stars; food 3 out of 5 stars

Small room.

A nice venue, small but great for a jazz audience. The act I saw was more electric and I had to get used to the volume, I'll bring ear plugs next time just in case. Food and drink available although I only had a beer. I plan on returning for other acts. Single or couple its nice and cozy.

Always a fun and cool get away

5 stars for venue and performance (slam poetry) 2 stars for food. Way over priced for cold and underseasoned "jazz fries" and "shrimp and grits shooters" blachhh

The poets were awesome

Great show!

Awesome Sauce!
