Dégagé Jazz Café

Awesome spot. Exclusive feeling because it's a rather small venue, but has a relaxed atmosphere. The food was really good, give the pig wings a try. Also fun for any live music lovers.

I went there for the first time with my husband last night for our second wedding anniversary. From start to finish this experience was BETTER THAN MY WEDDING, and was one of the best nights of my life. My husband called ahead and was able to bring his own flowers to have on the table when we arrived together.... not only did they let this happen, but they offered to go get flowers if my husband didn't purchase them yet. A live jam session went on which was amazing and I did not enjoy jazz before this experience. The gentleman ruined any preconceived thoughts I had about jazz being "dull". They were funny, talented, personable and truly gave an engaged performance I only witnessed in the movies prior to this. So the service was amazing and entertainment lets not forget about the FOOD. They had just updated their menu recently with cute names like will you marrow me, and let the breast rest. I thought it was cute and fun but wondered how the food would taste. I ordered the french onion like I do at any restaurant that has it...it was hands down the best, biggest, most beautiful bowl of french onion I have ever ate. Then I had "Let the Breast Rest" which was so saucy and flavorful. I am fantasizing over going back there next, maybe next time for a cooking class...because if this place wasn't cool enough they often cooking classes and receive their ingredients from LOCAL farmers. This place is a MUST!!!!

My wife and I ate here and it was mostly positive. The drinks were good albeit a bit overpriced for what you got. My wife had the salmon which was very good. I had the brisket dinner. The vegetables of the meal were quite good but the meat was not very warm and tasted like it had been reheated and not cooked fresh. Good atmosphere but we won't be going out of our way to go back any time soon.

I'm sorry that a few people have had a bad experience here. I guess that can happen anywhere on a given day. But we've been to Dégagé a half dozen times and have thoroughly enjoyed it every time. Last evening we attended a seminar on the second floor that served entrees from Dégagé. I ordered the Bourbon Salmon (I order salmon a lot) and I have to say it was the BEST, BEST, BEST salmon I've ever had in my life. Melt in your mouth DELICIOUS! I also want to ad that Joe does wonderful things with pork and beef too. I'm not kidding. If you haven't been there, you gotta try it at least once!. Kudos to Joe and staff!

Love the atmosphere here. Casual if you want it to be or dressy if you need it to be.
The use locally sourced ingredients which is very nice to see. Menu is creative and everything we have had is fabulous.
A must have is the smoked salmon plate, one of their many cheese plates, and the sweet swine jam.
Local jazz artists are featured in the club as well.
