Great little jazz club with amazing food. Ticket cost ($15) is added to the bill for those with dinner reservations. Had the'Cabo' aubergine appetizer &'Vivaneau' red snapper, both were incredible! & the music was amazing. Will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The singer had an incredible voice, & her wit & humor added a delightful touch. The band complemented her energy perfectly. The food was also excellent. However, if you're planning a reunion or a first date, this bar might not be the ideal spot unless you're planning to spend some time there before or after the show. We initially thought it was a restaurant with jazz music enhancing the experience, but it turns out it's more of a performance venue. We were advised to enjoy the show with minimal interaction & to communicate quietly.

It is very disappointing to come to a show at Upstairs only to find that the piano is highly out of tune from the middle C up. While most places only charge one drink minimum for a Jam session, Upstairs charges a cover & on top of that forces you to consume yet they can't afford to tune the piano. It is disrespectful towards the audience & the musicians! Maybe they think people don't notice but it completely ruins the experience, especially for a piano trio setting. If I were one of the musicians having to perform in such a poor-sounding instrument I would be embarrassed.

Great music, jazz was really nice & entertaining.
The place is very cosy, but be aware the tables are very tightly placed one next to the other. It feels like you can bump shoulders at any time.
Service is ok. If they actually come to your table, when they actually see you, they are cordial & try their help. They brought the bill even before asking if we wanted anything else. That was quite a minus.
Food is ok, nothing outstanding. Don't expect too much.
In general it's a good place. They are 4/5 due to the jazz & the ambience.
I'd return there.

L'entrée était 17$ pour un excellent spectacle de jazz dans une ambiance merveilleuse. Je n'y ai pas mangé mais les boissons étaient très bonnes.

Really cool local spot, highly recommend. It was packed & a reservation is an absolute MUST but the jazz music was incredible. I love the swanky atmosphere in the bar area too, I recommend reserving bar seats or seats up front for the best experience of the music. We didn't eat but the food looked & smelled delicious. Our drinks tasted amazing!
