Love, love this place! Everything is done with so much love and taste (no pun intended) :)
Thank you for joining us, Elina. We're thrilled you enjoyed a 5-star experience at our venue, and we hope each and every visit is just as incredible as the last. See you again soon!
The Blue LLama Jazz Club is a complete experience. You can choose to stay fully focused on the music as the seating is professionally planned with a perfect view of the performers. Or you can choose to make your visit about sampling one creative delicacy after another. The unique tasting menu makes for a social experience in dining with shared plates. This leads to a marvelous evening of companionship. The waitstaff participates fully in your experience - whether it is about savoring the sound of music or the flavors of the food. It's all good at The Blue LLama.
Thank you for the incredible review, Linda! As always, we are so appreciate your commitment and support. We're so honored to have such incredible guests like yourself who share in our Love of Food and Love of Music. We can't wait to take 2020 by storm!
The music was so loud that conversation was impossible. We had listened to the pianist on youtube playing a lovely set. At the Blue Llama she was so amplified it was painful. The food was good but the ambiance was toxic. I'd only go if you like your music LOUD LOUD LOUD. If there are times when there is no music, the food is worth trying. Otherwise, stay home.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed the food. It's unfortunate that even after the manager was able to move you to a different table, the music was still too loud. Brunch can be more boisterous, and the band was in the holiday spirit that day, but we always want you to enjoy your time with us. We are truly sorry. We would love to have you back and would be happy to go through the calendar with you to find a day when the music is more subtle and hopefully to your liking.
Perfect spot for Sunday brunch!! Can’t wait to go back!
We're so thrilled you enjoy our Sunday Brunch menu, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Great music in a beautiful, cozy setting. Attentive service. The gourmet food is really overpriced, even for Ann Arbor, but I appreciate the fact that you can just have a drink with the music and not get dinner.
Thank you for joining us for craft cocktails and live music! We hope you'll visit us again soon, perhaps for our Late Night music programming on Fridays and Saturdays, 11pm - 1:30am. See you again soon!
First time there. Exceeded expectations. Food was creative and fun, as were the drinks. Service was exceptional. Impressed with knowledge of staff about the details of the food and drinks. Going back soon!
S glad to hear you loved it! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
We always go for the music and have a great time. The cocktails are wonderful and the wine selection is always great. The chef is amazing and it’s hard to resist having at least an appetizer and dessert! But far exceeding any of the previous is the exciting groove of jazz music that reverberates into your soul.
Thank you for the outstanding review! We're honored to have such wonderful guests who truly share in our Love of Food and Love of Music as much as we do. We hope to see you again soon.
Music can be quite loud if you're seated close to the band! Also, the food is excellent, but make sure to clarify with your server how big the assorted small plates are because some are much smaller or larger than you might be expecting!
Thank you for your feedback, Tim. We truly appreciate that you've taken the time to share your experience with us, and I'll be sure to share your comments with my team so we can work to give an each guest an excellent 5-star experience. We hope to see you again soon!
Brunch was excellent. We did the chefs tasting menu which was great. Lots of interesting things, Favorites were Southern Eggs Benedict and the French Toast. Music was great., A really nice venue for Jazz.
Thank you for the outstanding review, Robert! We're thrilled you were able to try a number of our brunch favorites. One of my personal favorites is new on our menu, our Triple Fried Chicken & Waffles. We hope you'll join us again soon!
The service was above our expectations, the food was awesome in taste, presentation, and the music was great. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Michael. We're thrilled you enjoyed our creative shared plates menu and craftsmanship in its presentation. We hope to have you dine with us again soon!
Great music, very good food, comfortable ambiance. . . we’ll be back!
Thank you for your feedback. We're thrilled you enjoyed our live music, creative shared plates menu, and modern ambiance. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fabulous club with fabulous music, service and food.
I do not like when people talk over live music it’s rude. But there’s nothing to do about that! The food was very cool! I will be back! 🎸
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Kris. We're thrilled you enjoyed the live music on our stage and our exquisite modern Shared Plates menu. I'll be sure to pass your comments on to the chef. We're thrilled you could join us for brunch, and we hope to provide the same level of excellence with your next visit. We hope to see you again soon,
Absolutely amazing! Loved it and will definitely be back. The only negative was the extremely small portions. The food was excellent but the portions were more than half the size of what any other restaurant would serve.
Thank you for your feedback, Steph. We're thrilled you enjoyed our shared plates and live music. We generally suggest guests order 2-3 plates per person and share with the table to truly receive our full intended dining experience. Perhaps you'd find more value with our Chef's Tasting Menu during your next visit. I'll be sure to share your comments with our chef, and see what we can do moving forward.
Terrific food, service and entertainment. What more could you ask.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Michael! We're thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed our shared plates menu and live music. We hope to see you again soon.
Service was fast and friendly. The food was great and so was the Lunar Octet.
We're thrilled you had the opportunity to join us for our Sunday Brunch, Ted. Hopefully you can come check out our dinner service or late night events as well! We hope to see you again soon.
The best Jazz club in Michigan and the finest cuisine in Ann Arbor.
Thank you for the kind words, Kent. We're honored that you consider us the best of the best, and we look forward to bringing more creative cuisine and quality live music as we welcome in 2020. We hope to see you again soon!
We loved visiting here! It was absolutely beautiful , we got to sit close to the stage and our meal was delightful.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Eve. We're honored that you find our atmosphere, cuisine, and live music top notch, and we hope to see you again soon!
The Blue LLama continues to offer unsurpassed value. Since its opening earlier this year, I have visited multiple times and with each occasion, have been the beneficiary of superb music and equally memorable meals. For some time, Ann Arbor has truly been in need of a sophisticated live Jazz bistro, and Blue LLama absolutely delivers. Perhaps equally important as the music and food is the venue itself. It's 100% in the style of the hippest and upscale Manhattan haunts, while being sufficiently compact that every table is the "best table in the house." If you love great food and exceptional live music, this place is for you. More importantly, if you're luck enough to visit on a night when the Blue LLama's musical director, Dave Sharp, is gigging with his own band, you are indeed in for a special treat. I'd actually rate this place six stars, but the OpenTable system only lets me max out at five.
Wow - thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'll be sure to share this with our entire team as well. We're honored by the response from the A2 community, and we hope to keep swingin' into 2020 with the same style and quality in music, food, and service. In fact, if you don't have NYE plans yet, we are hosting a very special event to welcome in the New Year. We'll even have new shared plates available exclusively for that evening. We hope to see you again soon!
I had a wonderful experience here best jazz club I have been to.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're honored to be considered one of the best jazz clubs you've been to, and we hope to see you again soon.
Saw a great act and the food was fabulous.
Thank you for your kind words, Mary. We're thrilled you enjoyed our live music on stage and delicious American Shared Plates Menu. We hope to see you again soon!
A very nice experience. We went for brunch and the French Toast with cream anglais and raspberry sauce was excellent. Lovely venue, fun live music, good service. We will definitely recommend to our friends.
Thank you for your feedback, Roger. We're thrilled you enjoyed our French Toast! When you visit again, I'd also suggest ordering our Chicken & Waffles dish. It's great for sharing and has triple fried chicken, and what's not to love about that?! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
First time at this Jazz Club since my wife and I were looking for something more lively than simply dinner. The club and restaurant exceeded our expectations, which had already been heightened by a good recommendation from a trusted foodie.
Firstly, the music was outstanding, from all the performer, but especially from a first rate Jazz band from New Orleans, with a guest appearance by John Boutte - whose voice is truly wonderful.
The food is french cajun inspired, and is meant to be shared. Trust me when I say that I only begrudgingly shared mine with my wife.
Check it out, and done worry if you end up sitting in a table close to the stage - it was really not too loud - the sound system is nicely balanced.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, David. We're ecstatic that you enjoyed the live music on our stage. Feel free to check out our website for any upcoming shows that may interest you. If you haven't already, join our mailing list and get access to ticketed shows a week before they're open to the public! We're thrilled we made a lasting impression and look forward to seeing you on a regular basis.
The food was excellent as always and the service was outstanding. The quartet played three sets and we listened to all three. No pressure to try and turn the table over. Great music. This was our second time going and it did not disappoint. We will be back next month.
Thank you for the outstanding 5-star review! We're thrilled you enjoyed live music by the Bob Sweet Quartet. You can find him and several of the other musicians he played with in other groups coming to our stage in the next few months. Generally, we feature local musicians during our Late Nights, which may be of interest to you. Late Night music is available on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30pm - 1:30am. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
The experience was a nice one. I enjoyed the food, ambience, and entertainment. I will be back!
Thank you for your feedback, James. We're thrilled you enjoyed our dining and listening experience, and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Perhaps during your next visit, you can explore our Sunday Brunch service or Late Night experience. You can find more information on our website. See you soon!
Birthday Celebration
Thank you for joining us for your special birthday celebration, Cindi! We hope you'll think of us again for your next special occasion. See you soon!
Perfect ambiance for a date night. We went there to celebrate my husbands birthday and we loved it.
The food was a bit pricey but superb. It really helped that we weren’t really hungry because it’s more small plates and tapas style meant to share. We had the scallops, whitefish and asparagus... the scallops were a highlight for me.
The waitstaff was friendly and gave us some great recommendations. The kitchen was accommodating of our food restrictions. The entertainment just made everything come together so well. Would absolutely go back for another special night out!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Naima. We're thrilled you chose our venue to celebrate such a special occasion, and we're ecstatic to hear that you enjoyed some of our shared plates. If you loved the scallops, you may want to try our new Littleneck Clams & Brussels during your next visit. Did you know that we are hosting a special New Year's Eve event at our club? If you're looking for another night out, you can find more info on our website. We hope to see you again soon!
The food here was outstanding! The music was very energetic and enjoyable.
Thank you for joining us for live jazz and shared plates, Angela. We're thrilled we could provide a 5-star experience for you, and we look forward to serving you an incredible evening for fine dining and live music again soon.
Fantastic date spot. Cheese and charcuterie board was the best we’ve ever had. Unique cocktails, amazing ambiance. Our server was terrific
Thank you for your feedback, Kelly. We're thrilled you enjoyed our Cheese & Charcuterie Tasting and a few craft cocktails. If you join us again for another night of live music and shared plates, you may be interested in adding our featured Wine Tasting to your next charcuterie board. We have several sommeliers in our team that crafted a truly divine wine list to compliment our American Shared Plates Menu. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
I love the Blue Llama! Always good music, good food, and outstanding service! A very welcoming venue with great ambiance and classy acts! So glad to have such a place in Ann Arbor!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoy our entire dining and listening venue, and we are honored to have such a wonderful, supportive community. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
We ordered the steak & eggs, and chicken & waffles on the recommendation of our exuberant server. I literally said wow upon taking the first bite. The cold brew cocktail was delicious and not too strong. Great experience in every way. We loved the food and the music and will definitely be back!
Thank you for leaving us some feedback on your brunch visit, Michael. We're thrilled you enjoyed our new Chicken & Waffles dish (it's one of my personal brunch favorites)! I'll be sure to share your excitement with our team, and we look forward to having you back soon.
A+
Thank you Elizabeth for being exceptional.
Thank you for the outstanding review! We're thrilled you enjoyed our creative menu, exceptional service, and modern ambiance. I'll be sure to share your kind words with Elizabeth. We look forward to seeing you again soon, and providing the same outstanding experience with each and every visit.
World class music and service. Highly recommend. Keeping the beauty of jazz alive.
Thank you for the wonderful review and kind words, Patrick. We're thrilled you share in our Love of Music and appreciate the live jazz that appears on our stage. We hope to see you again soon!
Great experience!
Will repeat!
Very good service and incredibly unique and creative menu.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback, Joe. We're thrilled you enjoyed our creative shared plates and attentive service. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
If you love listening to live Jazz, if you enjoy a beautifully garnished Bloody Mary, if you like delicious and creative cuisine, then you’ll love the Blue Llama. We’ll definitely go back and ask for our favorite waitress, Mona.
Thank you for the wonderful review, Sandra! We're thrilled you enjoyed our Sunday Brunch cocktails and cuisine. We look forward to having you back again soon.
Brunch. Service was OK, hampered by noise level, so hard to communicate. Food pretty good, nice variety. Dinner menu is better.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Jeff. We apologize if the volume was too loud for you to enjoy your brunch experience, I'll be sure to share your feedback with our Artistic Director. We're thrilled you enjoy both our Sunday Brunch and Dinner menu!
We ordered 3 small plates, a 'medium' plate, and 5 drinks. The meal cost more at blue llama than a dinner we had for 12 people the next night at another restaurant. The quality of the food is not really great and the value is awful.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, Leah. We apologize if our dining experience was not what you expected. Perhaps you'd find more value from our Chef's Improvisation menu during your next visit. Our cuisine is priced based on the high quality ingredients that have been sourced locally and internationally. For example, our Wagyu Sirloin is more expensive than other plates because it contains the highest quality of beef on the market. I'll share your comments with my team.
Our waiter was a little condescending and not very warm. The menu was a bit confusing - they call it tapas style, but many of the items are $30+ which doesn't seem to fit with tapas. We weren't sure whether those were meant to be purchased a single entree, or whether they were just really REALLY expensive tapas (not sure if the size of them would be enough to satisfy someone if purchased alone?) In the end we gave up trying to guess (our waiter wasn't super helpful) and went with the chef's tasting menu, which I have to admit was really great. Fun trying lots of different things, and for the amount of food you get the price was reasonable. Great, unique flavors. The live music was really fun - it was the main reason we went. Overall a good experience with just a few blips.
Thank you for your feedback, Marcy. We always recommend our Chef's Improvisation Menu to new guests so they can enjoy several shared plates for a better value than ordering a la carte, and we're thrilled you were able to enjoy each and every dish. We apologize for your experience with our service staff. We want every guest to feel welcomed and heard. I will share your feedback with my team and take action so your next visit will be met with same level of excellence as our cuisine and live music.
Excellent service and food as always. Music is also so fun
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're thrilled you enjoyed our dining and listening venue, and we hope to see you again soon.
I love the Blue Llama! As a retired person with a limited income and a passion for jazz, this place offers high quality music making every day of the week. Not only is the music, whether performed by local musicians or talent from out of town, top notch - the setting makes me feel like I'm in NYC or on a getaway jazz cruise.
Whatever I want to eat or drink while I listen - a glass of wine, a drink and a snack, or a superb meal - I can get it here, delivered by a server who makes me feel like I'm paying a lot more than I am. The "suggested entertainment fee", which allows me to choose to support the musicians and the venue, is a great system. I hope it's working - because I want the Blue Llama to be around for a long time!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're honored to have such wonderful guests like yourself who share equally in our Love of Food and Love of Music. I'll be sure to share your kind words with our team, and we look forward to serving you excellent jazz and delicious shared plates. See you again soon!
Most inventive menu in Ann Arbor
