"Jass is more of a sit-down restaurant than a bar, but when we came here we also literally said out loud: “This is like if Lagniappe was a sit-down restaurant.” So it belongs on this guide. Jass is really charming, with live music (often jazz) playing at an ideal volume and a dining room that feels like a fun antique shop. Music happens nightly (but call them to ask about the current week's schedule). You can get a bottle of wine for around $60, but you should be eating too because the Mediterranean food is good. Get the clay pot of lamb, which comes encased in a dome of brioche your server will slice open at the table. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
