    Good Jazz, Not So Good Food

    This place has a good atmosphere and is a great place to go for a drink, some good jazz and a midnight snack. But don't count on the food to be good. Go to dinner someplace else - then try Cleo's for an after dinner drink and jazz.

    poor food, service not much better

    went to cleopatra tonight with a friend - I ordered the grape leaves - inedible - so I got a basket of fries. My firend had the chicken tenders- couldnt even get our teeth into those - the drinks were straight up 99cent vodka. As we were still hungry tried the baklava - it was frozen - when the wiatress tried to explain that we're probably not used to baklava - I had to explain to her that i was actually middle eastern - I jsut never had baklava made out of peanuts!

    Stitch One, peal two....Needle Nothing

    OK food, the only reason to go there is live music, but I wouldnt travel any distance to this place for their jazz. Service, especially the bartenders, was really really bad the three times Ive visited. Stuck it out tho' to hear the trio on stage.

    Only Okay

    The food was only mediocre, there was nothing exceptional about it. The drummer seemed more concerned about flirting with the girls in the audience and showing off than he was with his music. The real redeeming quality, however, was the atmosphere. With candle lighting, we were both at home. The server was forgetful and slightly neglectful. They might try using fresh vegetables in their vegetable medley next time instead of frozen.

    Very Satisfied!!!

    My friend and I decided to try a restaurant in the neighborhood. How could we have missed this place for so long? The service was outstanding. We could not have asked for a more helpful or attentive waitress. The food was delicious! Get there before 8 PM as it does get crowded for the jazz. We will definitly be back ... outstanding upper west side restaurant!

    I love this place!

    I go here all the time to listen to music, sing at the "open mic for singers", enjoy a very healthy, fresh salad or falafel sandwich, drink a nice martini and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. It's a great neighborhood hangout. At night, it is very cozy and romantic, and the late night jam sessions are really fun- sometimes, famous musicians stop by- and the jazz here is the real thing!

    Mediocre all the way

    Nothing outstanding about the food, atmosphere, drinks, or music, the place doesn't know what it wants to be, and chaos is the order of the day here, it is pricey.
