This was our first time at the Jazz Forum. The host Mark and hostess Ellen were very warm and friendly and met us at the door. We were at a hi top table in the back and the view was great. We saw Tito Puente Jr. and needless to say the show was fabulous. Terry Moore was called onto the stage by Tito and knocked our socks off with her performance. The drinks and the food were perfect. What a wonderful evening. Thank you Mark and Ellen.

We were happy to have a wonderful supper with friends and some early Sunday evening jazz at this secluded Tarrytown location. As the venue quickly fills up, make a reservation and arrive early to secure your choice (unassigned) seats.

Glad we got to enjoy early Sunday evening Jazz and a nice dinner with friends at this hidden spot in Tarrytown. Reserve and arrive early to get your preferred (unassigned) seats, as the place fills up quickly.

Several shows every weekend and really personal owners with a lot of charisma and character! The musician that played was fantastic and the food was great!

I'm sorry. I went to see Janis SIegel perform on New Year's Eve 2019. First they made us wait outside in the cold for 1/2 hr - with no explanation when I asked. I love Janis SIegel (of the Manhattan Transfer). What was not so great is the venue for a first class artist like Janis. All during the performance people were talking, eating, you hear dishes clanking, bartenders mixing drinks (which often sounded like one of the instruments). This may be a good venue for a jazz band playing in the background while having dinner - but not for a first class artist like Janis Siegel Then to add salt to the wound - about 10 minutes before the end of the show - my waitress says to me that she will have to charge me for the minimum of 2 drinks (I only had one). So I ordered a glass of wine and barely had time to drink it. I never stiff waiters or waitresses - but I did this time. Oh, and did I say I paid $100.00 - yes that was $100.00 - for the ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would NEVER see someone I really want to see at this place. I say - DON'T - see them in a proper show venue. They didn't even have a step up to the stage - I couldn't even see Janis SIegel perform. I could only hear her along with the other noise.

Hello,
As the General Manager of the Jazz Forum, I appreciate your comments as we do for both positive and negative feedback. I am so sorry you had the experience you described at the Jazz Forum. We did make a big mistake having early bird guests wait outside before seating for the 6 pm seating; I should have checked the length of the line and addressed that right away. We book many first class artists on regular nights every weekend and explain at the start of every set that we are a listening room - the music is the reason folks come and the menu of food and drink is secondly and yet, not unimportant. We are committed to a positive and attentive experience for both musicians and guests. We are also always looking for ways to both serve our guests efficiently and keep the noise in the kitchen and bar to a minimum in our open space. As for the raised stage, we made an intentional decision to maintain the living room feel of the club and allow for bands of all sizes to perform.
On New Year's Eve, it is one night when that commitment is challenged by the celebratory nature of the evening. Last, if there was a misunderstanding about our minimum for that special night, I apologize for that. If you take a look at our line-up, we hope you will come for upcoming first-class shows and experience our promise to keep the sounds off the stage to a minimum. We will be sure to take care of you. Please feel free to follow up with me by email at ellen@jazzforumarts.org.
Sincerely,
Ellen K. Prior

We had good food, great entertainment at reasonable prices. We made a reservation and arrived early so we could start our meal, which was optional. There was a small cover charge which included the price of one or two drinks if we were not eating.

Nice space, quality performances, but painfully sub-par service.Had visited a year ago and had this experience, but chalked it up to newness. Went last night and found that nothing had changed. If you're going run a cabaret, you can't expect people to wait a half hour before giving a drink order. And, you should not get the order completely wrong when finally served. Purely amateur hour.
