    Celebrating Chick Corea was an amazing show. The program was scheduled for 90 minutes, but was extended to 3 hours. Many great Jazz musicians joined to celebrate Chick Corea. What an extrordinary experience.

    It is for real. Hit the late (11:15pm-ish) show after dinner out. The music, service, and music are terrific β€” like a drawing of themselves. I’ll be back as often as I can.

    What a lovely space! It was my first time to attend a performance here, though my husband and kids had been for educational programming. My husband and I came to see this spectacular jazz singer who I recently discovered, Cecile McLorin Salvant. While I didn't expect nearly everything she sang to be in French, it was a beautiful performance with stellar storytelling. She is impressive and uses every color and part of her voice in a powerful, artistic way. And the pianist was utterly remarkable...a great band/ensemble.

    I was ecstatic to finally get tickets to the Unity Jazz Festival 2024. The Jazz at Lincoln Center is truly a unique concert venue and space! The Jazz festival had several notable musicians performing live in The Appel Room, Ertegun Atrium and Dizzy’s Club. The lineup of artists performing over the two days was exceptional. I am a major fan of Chief Adjuah, and after having seen him perform in several different venues across the USA - the performance at The Appel Room certainly now holds the top spot!!! The acoustics are amazing, along with the intimacy of the venue. No matter where you are seated in the β€˜Room’ the visibility is amazing and the dramatic floor to ceiling glass wall overlooking a New York skyline adds that extra NYC pizzazz!!!

    Wynton Marsalis+Christmas+son and girlfriend old enough now to treat us to a nice dinner and a show….what a night! In from out of town? Never been to Jazz at Lincoln center? Do yourself a favor and go. This is a world-class venue conceived of and built by people that love you and their art form- it is reflected in every detail of this space and your experience within. Enjoy

    Great Evening. A must attend Jazz evening when in New York. The centre is situated at the shopping mall at Columbus Circle. Entry from the ground floor through the lift. The evening can be enjoyed with a collection of wines and spirits available are the centre and an good food menu. Has two shows one starting at 7 and the other at 9.

    Dizzy's club.... I love a good jazz experience. Great music, beautiful views. Such a great location right near Columbus circle and the lower west side of Central Park. I saw Charlie Sepulvida and the turnaround and the performance was great! The acoustics sounded great not overbearing. The food options were limited, but my dish was good none the less. My wife, on the other hand, not very impressed with the cornbread. A little on the dry side. A great substitute since jazz standard shut down.

    Outstanding venue for jazz and I suppose any performance. Has a little jazz museum in the lobby and a nice fifth-ish story view of the park. Important location note: it would be better named "Jazz at Lincoln Center at Columbus Circle" because it's inside a mall on Columbus Circle, 6 blocks from the other Lincoln Center venues (Metropolitan Opera, etc).

    What an incredible experience. This is an absolute must do when visiting New York.

    If you love jazz, this is the place to see the greats -- both young and old. But the theater itself is worthy of praise. It is beautiful and modern with seating that will appeal to many different preferences. There is, of course, traditional orchestra seating. In addition, there are boxes on several levels and some very high balcony seats. Most interesting are the boxes that ring the stage so that the audience is very close to the performers, although some are up high and behind the musicians. The sound is excellent in every level and position. The theater is not ornate but posh with its modern clean lines. The staff is always helpful and pleasant. I love going here and have not been disappointed in any programs I've seen.

    Just an amazing event. Staff is always very nice, professional, and welcoming. I attend every year for the jazz concert.

  • 3/5 Shreya D. 2 years ago on Google β€’ 20 reviews
    The building is very beautiful with a breathtaking view of Central Park. We attended two Movie premieres here. There is a media room where celebrities arrive on the red carpet and talk to the press. The theatre is enormous with a comfortable seating of about 500 people. I just feel that the water fountains should be functional as running out across the street to get water is a bit of a hassle.

    Overpriced for the quality of service and music. Singer was screaming rather than signing. Tables have to be freed up in 1h to squeeze in as much people as possible in one evening, we didn’t even have time to enjoy the dinner. It was very expensive for 1h, $120 for 2 seats, excluding any food.

  • 5/5 Lorenzo V. 5 months ago on Google
    Wonderful venue with good acoustics. I'm not sure I'd choose the seats behind the stage, even if you can get a very close look.

    Fantastic theater and great staff. We had some issues with our tickets and the staff went above and beyond to help us out and ensure everything went smoothly. The Rose Theater was beautiful and sounded great!

    Went there last night for the 3rd set expecting dinner, but all they had was a $16 bucket of chips and little nibbles?? Amazing music tho, but hoping they fix the menu soon :/

    Took my daughter for her 17th birthday to see Wynton Marsalis. Wonderful experience.

  • 5/5 Shaopeng Y. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best music concert venue in NY, especially with the Appel Room over looking Columbus Circle.

  • 5/5 Barry W. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing venue. We watched the Jack Rudin Jazz Championship and heard some wonderful jazz by some of the nation's top college Jazz bands, not to mention the fabulous Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.

  • 5/5 Casi K. 4 years ago on Google
    So good! We saw Ellington Through the Ages with the We Are The Future band, led by Wynton Marsalis, of course. We had such a great time that we are already planning to go back with a group of friends. Highly recommended for a wonderful night out.

    Great room for Jazz. Scenic views of Columbus Circle and Central Park at 59th Street. Good acoustics. Intimate club. Good food as beverage selection. Comfortable bar seating as well as traditional tables. Intimate Bandstand.

    I watched the New York Philharmonic perform here β€” this venue is spectacular. The interior design is set up beautifully, and the acoustics of the hall allow the music to blend and project even to the back of the house. The entrance to the venue is somewhat peculiar, but the staff did an amazing job guiding everyone to where they needed to be. The logistics of bag inspections, vaccine checks, and ticket scanning are one of the best I've encountered. I would love to see another performance here!

    I attended the world premiere of 12 Strong here- the theater is spacious and accommodating. I was seated in the balcony, yet still have a great view of the screen and Q&A with the cast. Good times, I would attend another event here gladly

    One of the best and beautiful venues in New York. Breathtaking experience when the lights begin to glow outside! Usually fabulous music playing.

  • 5/5 Ash E. 5 years ago on Google
    Great venue in an awesome part of the city. The shops at Columbus Circle are also beautiful and well-kept. The staff are great. Our group has had an annual meeting in the beginning of December for the past 60 years. It was originally held at The Plaza but moved to the Jazz when The Plaza underwent renovations. The Jazz is so much better.

    Not good at all… fries were great and drinks ok… but burgers not the best. The jazz a lil weird, not what a jazz lover is expecting! Check the jazz artist BEFORE you buy the tickets!
