THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Jazzmine's Restaurant Review:

Every once in a while a place comes along that makes you glad people travel. Jazzmine's was inspired by the owner's visit to the infamous Long Bar in Singapore. Sculpted out of the cavernous space that long held Caffe Solo, Jazzmine's is not afraid to display her international influences. The mood is set with the indoor sky, created by some 4,000 tiny sparkling lights imbedded in the ceiling. The stage at the end of the restaurant promises to display national Jazz performers as well as showcase local talent. The bar's warm and inviting lighting beckons you to sit for hours as you try to digest their extensive drink menu. They claim to serve food that's in the New Orleans tradition, and influenced by French and Asian. Try the duck breast that's grilled and enlivened with a tangy, sweet and sour rhubarb sauce. Or go for the pan roasted pork medallions with just the right amount of spicy heat. There are pastas and salads, of course, to round out the menu, but save room for self-indulgent desserts. The service is getting better as they get more experience, but they can be a bit forgetful. And the wine list seems to be maturing with every visit. Make sure to call for reservations if there is a national act on stage.
