Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill and Patio

Came for my son's 9th birthday. It was a good time.
Good food, good music and a nice atmosphere. We only waited about 30 minutes for a table.
Surprisingly, the best thing was the burger my husband had! Like it was an amazing burger.

The food, the service, the portions? All 5/5. Excellent.
However the only downside is the remodel from the original Jazz Kitchen design to this... strip mall style? The charm is gone. Only reason I gave it a 3/5 is because thankfully there's still live music happening. It's definitely an amazing atmosphere still, but you don't feel like you're in a creole spot.

Honestly, I wasn't a real fan of the remodel, but I'm happy to say their food is still good. They've made a few changes to the menu, but it's still amazing.
The person who took my to go order was super nice and helpful.

I ordered:

1. Grilled open faced lobster BLT po boy - You can taste all the different flavors and how they just go together. Oh, so well.

2. Lobster & crawfish remoulade roll - This was light and refreshing.

3. NOLA BBQ Gulf Shrimp & Grits - The shrimp was plump and flavorful. I've never really tried grits before, but it was creamy and paired well with the shrimp.

4. Grilled Medallions of Filet - So tender and juicy. The vegetables it came with were just as good. I'm not big on veggies, but these were cooked just right and had perfect seasoning.

5. Hot Classic Beignets - You can't leave without having beignets. We usually do the raspberry dipping sauce or eat it plain lol. Guaranteed to make a mess

This place is amazing the ambiance really felt like the old south. The waiter and. Staff are super friendly. The food was amazing and super delicious. The flatbread and calamari are great appetizers for sharing.The Barbour and grits was amazing and filling. The gumbo is was savory and had a nice kick to it. The banana glaze Beignets was super delicious and worth trying.

On our most recent trip to Downtown Disney we had to stop by Jazz Kitchen to enjoy the remodel. Service as always was excellent. The balcony seating was wonderful. It was a little hot but we enjoyed gazing down at the crowds. The lobster Po-boy was beautifully delicious. My Reef & Beef lacked some flavor. Grits could use more flavor. The Honey Grilled Salmon was good. Will definitely be back for the Lobster Po-boy & BBQ Shrimp & Grits.

This was our first time back since it was closed and rethemed with the update to Downtown Disney. We sat downstairs where the fountain used to be it was ok I'd be interested to sit outside on the balcony outside upstairs,. First off our server was amazing. She was very attentive and fun to chat with about the menu and stuff. Food was very good but the menu is smaller than it used to be and of course the beignets were amazing. I would definitely recommend it especially for a date night.

Overall not a bad experience but for the price I would have hoped for better. Parking will cost at least $10. They validate but the first $10 is on you. The setting was not bad but I ended up with the sun beating down on me for most of my meal. The server was friendly but didn’t check on us which, for the price, shouldn’t have happened. For our meals, the flavors were pretty good but I can tell you my food was cold. Not sure why. I know we waited a while so I wonder if the server was not checking or something else.
