Great feed. Unfortunately the burger has huge I couldn’t fit it in my mouth. Took some parts out and I was able to eat it. Good taste. Chips were crisp and hot.

Me and my husband are from Perth & were holidaying in Melbourne for the week.We both really enjoyed our dinner at jazz corner,I had barramundi in a coconut sauce with wild rice & my husband had steak which was cooked to perfection.Staff was friendly,had light music playing in the background and loved the furnishings.I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious coffee. Good spot for people watching. Field mushrooms on sourdough was ok though. Fresh and good quality but lacked depth of flavour; something like feta or haloumi would be good with it. Having said that, i would definitely visit again.

Lovely restaurant and food, great service. Ideal for date night, then go downstairs to the Birds basement, for some live jazz music with your friends or partner . We stayed at the hotel and were really happy to find such a lovely restaurant within the hotel.
