Mandee's Jazz Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
This time of day it's pretty quiet. It was pretty clean and the waitress was very friendly and patient. Everything comes to-go. I wish as good as the food was, they would plate it. Otherwise, one of my favorite places to grab some good food from. For 2 servings of pasta. I spent roughly about $45 and the tab automatically added the gratuity for the staff. The lemon drops we wanted. The sugar they had NONE. BUT..... The bartender (in my t-pain voice) introduce my associate and I to what is known as a White Tea shot and baby it was sooooo... Good now I wanna tell y'all about the FOOD, great. The music was good too.
Love their food. It's always hot and fresh and tasty. The atmosphere and Dj are always true Detroit Vibes.
So, at first I felt over looked. It was 6pm, not toooo many people in here, but enough to keep the server busy I guess. Once I was noticed the server was apologetic and catered to me. The drinks, cheaper then anywhere in the city! The menu had enough options, like... I could'nt decide what I wanted. A fellow patron suggested the $3 lamb chops so I went with that and a side salad and my friend went with the steak Alfredo. Well damn, the salad was soooooo fresh and the lamb chops... sweet & savory!!! I even had to take a bite of my friend Alfredo. Ohhh my so delicious. I will be back!!! I want to taste everything on the menu ok. Just delicious!!!!!
This is the perfect place to go when you want hot, delicious food and cold, strong drinks. There is not a lot of ambience, but I like the food and drinks. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the need for a night out on a budget. :-)
There are no bells and whistles involved with this establishment but its a solid place to hang out. The food is a classic bar menu with a few extra's (like crab legs) and is very well seasoned. Its the "Cheer's" of the Eastside of Detroit. I know a lot of Yelper's don't venture this far east in the city, but from my experience it is worth the trip. In addition to the food, they have a $2 and $4 drink menu that runs until midnight. If you're visiting for the first time, like I did today, I would go early for after work dinner and drinks. I came around 7:30 and stayed for 2hrs. The bartender was also the waiter. He surprisingly was able to cater to everyone very efficiently, but not sure if that would be true later on when its probably more crowded. Also, there is security at the door and a dance floor with a stripper pole, so my guess is that after 11ish the place turns into an all out club scene. Overall, very good experience tonight! Try it out and let me know what you think!
