    I had a wonderful time at the Jazz Bunch this past Saturday, July 25th, celebrating a birthday with friends. From the hostess to Cameron, our waitress, the food runners and even Mr.Frank (I believe that was his name) - the saxophonist, we were handled with so much care. The food was delicious, came out timely, and was most definitely worth the cost! We will definitely be back
