Editorial Review for Savanna Jazz – by Daniel Liszt

In Short
Vintage album covers line the walls of this hybrid destination; a wood-carved bar in the corner offers libations. As musicians perform Latin and Brazilian jazz nightly, patrons can dance or dine from a menu that features everything from fish-stuffed pastries to lamb stew couscous. Desserts include an apple tart and banana flambé.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

This place was not what I expected at all. The service was atrocious - when I walked in with my girlfriend, we had to walk to the back to find someone to seat us - the waitress wasn't even aware we'd made a reservation. The food was bland, and the atmosphere was anything but romantic. The jazz was contemporary/fusion, so if you're looking for classical jazz, I would not recommend this place. On top of that, the speakers were blaring. The drum levels were overpowering, and it was impossible for us to have a conversation without screaming at each other. The food and drinks were overpriced, and everything about the place screamed dirty, dive club without any of the character or atmosphere that I would normally associate with a jazz establishment. Bottom line - unless you're going to see a specific musician, stay away from Savanna Jazz Club.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Having lived in San Francisco all my life I was surprised to discover this wonderful club on Mission St. The place is really romantic, with dim lighting, candles and comfortable booths. The jazz trio had great energy and they were later joined by an excellent guitarist. Rachel the bartender makes great mango vodka cocktails. Jimmy is a lot of fun at the door. Recommended

Pros: inexpensive, great music
