Aloha I attended my first show Saturday night to watch and listen to Johnny Valentine Great little club the show came with a delicious meal served buffet style plenty to eat. The bar was convenient and not over priced. I'll definitely go back again and I'm driving in from the west Side
The venue is intimate and it allows you to see and meet the musician you plan to go see. As for the food that is what made it go from 5 to 4 stars. First of all the food is served on paper goods. It was ver inconsistent with the serving. Our friends go like a few spoons of soup where it was for a child. The potatoes looked well done for me and better for others. I couldn't eat the top it was burnt. I will eat the next time before i come here. I don't know if they think it out the different flavors when you eat their 4 course meal. It didn't settle well with my stomach.
Medici's is interesting. The proceeds from the show and dinner support the Manoa School of Music The Arts, which is downstairs. The husband and wife Tim Carolyn Stanton operate in tandem (he, the restaurant and shows; she the music school). While waiting for the show, other patrons joked with me to come for the shows and just eat the food. Tim and his staff try their best to put out a great meal. The food was good, but served on paper goods. Silverware was actually metal. The night that I went. Granted, it was only their second show since reopening due to the pandemic and they had some new staff. My table mates ordered drinks, and the glasses were a different size each time. I give Tim credit for still coming out and schmoozing with patrons at each table and thanking them for their support. Nevertheless, the shows they put on are top notch and money goes to support a wonderful school.
Great jazz, mediocre food, very lax covid proceedures and rude owner. I have been a big fan of this place, love jazz and support local music and businesses. Recently went, at the door the woman took our temps, we were all below 97 degrees. She laughed and said the battery was low. I didn't think too much about it. Got to our table, set for 6. We were a party of two. Reservation tents showed another party of 3 sharing our table. Chairs are slammed together, literally inches between each person. We asked the waiter if he could clear the empty place setting to give us all a little more breathing room. He was pleasant and said he would ask management. Then the owner came to table, he was angry and hostile before I said a word, threatening to throw us out. When he finally paused to catch his breathe, I calmly asked my question about clearing the vacant place setting. He indignantly refused saying they planned to sell the seat. It remained empty. I thanked him for the answer and said we were good. He seemed perplexed that I wasn't ready to take the bait and rise to his level of hostility. He walked away without a word. The waiter apologized and offered a free glass of wine. The jazz was great, but I have never been so poorly treated as a customer. So just be aware, their Covid protocols are a joke, defective thermometer and no social distancing. The owner is hostile and itching for conflict. I think I may switch to the Blue Note.
