DazzleJazz Restaurant & Lounge

My family and I have come here twice now and the food is always amazing as is the music. However, as a career server for more than 20 years, I find that the service is truly lacking. Our waitress walked passed us several times before acknowledging us, never asked us if we wanted anything to drink. We didn’t even get sat until a half hour after our reservation. They ran out of their signature items for brunch an hour in.
We’ll be trying somewhere else next time.

I love Dazzle! Super good brunch with a great jazz atmosphere. Prepare to enjoy yourself. The food and drinks keep you happy!

Great selection! The day we went there was prime rib, fresh made crepes and omelettes, potato pancakes, cheese grits, grilled veggies, spicy beet salad, and a huge selection of desserts including red vines and Twinkies. You definitely need to make a reservation which can be done via Dazzles website. It’s a nice place to bring out of town visitors.

Wanting a new brunch spot to have a good meal with my sissy, I had dazzle in the back of my mind and took a chance they would have a table for us. Well, they did, but reservations are recommend. We were seated at a tiny table behind the hot line and that was okay.
Brunch was very good. The hot line had everything from eggs to chicken legs and falafel. The cold line was loaded with waffles, danish, cereal, yogurt, etc. however, I would recommend moving the fresh fruit away from the burners because they tasted like crap, rather burner residue, yuck. It was rather displeasing. Service was great and although the price was a bit high, I’d go back.

It seemed that I would forever be in search of a «true» brunch buffet in Denver that meets my standards, until I found DazzleJazz! I don’t personally think I ask for too much, but I do have a very specific request… Brunch must include BOTH breakfast and lunch food at one time. Not serving breakfast at lunch. Not having a-​la-​carte options of breakfast and lunch at 11am. Rather, having one plate composed of breakfast AND lunch items in each bite. Mostly this can be found on buffets. But, Denver lacks buffets… See the dilemma? Kudos to DazzleJazz!
Firstly, reservations are not easy. It’s not that it’s hard to get into this place necessarily. It’s just that their website does nothing for online reservations. You have to call to reserve your table, which I find to be quite archaic.
We arrived around 10:30am on a Saturday or Sunday over the summer. We were sat immediately in the low-​lit Main Dining Room, on the mezzanine, facing the Jazz band. Our SUPER bubbly and well-​spoken server Kendall greeted us immediately. She pitched us on three stations and described each one in depth. I honestly could watch her speak for an hour strait. She has the most engaging eyes and prettiest smile! She also knew a little something about service. She folded our napkins each time we left the table and we never had dirty plates on our table during the meal.
I’m not sure how frequently DazzleJazz changes their menu — whether daily, weekly, monthly or at all — but below is a short review on what we tried a couple months ago.
Mac & Cheese: delicious, but very strong smoked cheddar flavor (true to its description)
Hummus: nice consistency, served with crunchy pita chips
Cheese Board: moderate variety of cheese (would love to see la tur or snowdrop), featured huge capers (but would love to see caperberries), assorted crackers
Omelet: made-​to-​order, extreme amount of cheese (SCORE!)
Brisket: a bit too fatty for me, but their bacon was the perfect amount of crisp
Other items enjoyed:
— Crème Brulee
— Cottage Cheese
— Yogurt Parfait
— Watermelon
— Pineapple
— Biscuits & Gravy
— Homefries/​Potatoes Hash
— Corn
— Crêpe (also made-​to-​order)
— Donuts
— Crab Benedict
— Chocolate Mousse Cake
Hopefully with the above items in mind, you can see why I loved DazzleJazz for a brunch buffet option in Denver. We have plans to return very soon!

Very very good brunch! I love that they have jazz even in the early mornings. Make sure you come early because it is quite a spread.
They do take reservations

Weak. Since I’ve been coming here 5 years there was a golden age of deliciously priced cheap and boozy drinks. Ironically the drink specials haven’t changed much, but the food has gone up 50% and the ambience has grown stale at best. Sorry, I love dazzle but the change over the last 2 years has been for the worst and is indicative of a restaurant struggling to find its way.
Change the lighting… Add some color instead of the cold white homogeneous wash currently exhibiting. Go back to the warm colorful hues of previous day and take some adderall to figure out the ADHD menu switching habits. Good luck.

God rested on Sunday because that’s when DazzleJazz is open for brunch.
Seriously, it’s the best brunch in Denver. $ 30 gets you all you can eat AND drink (craft beer included).
Show up early.
They also have good food and live music other nights of the week, but the brunch is where it’s at.

We ended up getting there about an hour into a show, so we just ate in the main area area and didn’t see a show. But we could still hear and enjoy it so that was nice.
The dinners and drinks we got there were great. They don’t have a big selection on dinners, but what we did try was very good. Interior was nice and relaxed and the staff was awesome. Would recommend.

I am at the Sunday brunch. The start with they bring you a great coffee cake. My advice start with the omelet and mac & cheese. I love mac & cheese. This is by far the best I have ever eaten. The jazz is good. But, but I am here for the food. Food was hot. Our waitress Alycia was totally cool, just the right amount of service. This is the best buffet I have ever eaten at. And great price for a high qualify buffet. Dress code moderate. I came in Hawaiian shirt and shorts. Very little wait.
Manager is always walking the floor making sure everything is perfect. Sat right behind omelet guy. So he made it and just handed it Bach to me.

Though I’ve heard the weekend brunch is hopping, I must admit that I’ve never been.
Here’s the truth: the extent of my Dazzle experience is Tuesday nights. Entry is free, and it’s mostly just a jam session. I’ve seen the variety of performances: maybe just one person owning the stage or a large group that’s been playing together for years. I can’t speak to other nights when it costs to get in, because in all honesty, I’m not enough of a jazz fan.
Grab a cocktail (if you’re a martini fan, this is the place), maybe some food, but mostly just plan on sitting back and enjoying some musicians having a great time.

Me and my wife ate here for Sunday brunch the morning after our wedding. We had been here several times, and already loved it — but our experience this past Sunday took our admiration of Dazzle Jazz to a whole nother level.
Donald Rossa, the owner, got us a reservation for 20 people, which is quite a feat considering the popularity. On top of that, we had last minute additions that created a need for 6 more seats. Donald accommodated this immediately, and it was perfect.
The band was informed of our wedding, and gave us a dedicated song. After that song, the band declared that the entire set was dedicated to us, and had several toasts over the course of the morning.
When brunch was over, Donald got us some gift certificates to come back for a show (we will be using them when we get back from the Maldives!) AND he graciously gave us 2 free Dazzle shirts!
We couldn’t have asked for a better ending to our wedding weekend, and Dazzle made it happen. You guys rock!

I have not eaten here, we came out for a local free jazz feature. The booths and atmosphere transport me to a bigger cities jazz scenes feel. Intimate, with strong cocktails, great sound, and staff. A place you can melt into a booth and have a moment. They use LP records to hold the menus. If my British Uncle comes, I have to bring him here. A great place to have a classy time out, and maybe impress a date, or friends, with some culture.

Probably my favorite Happy Hour in all of Denver: $ 5 Martinis and amazing small bites for $ 4 – 7! This classy joint is serving up delicious food, outstanding drinks, and marvelous ambience. They always have live jazz if your in the mood, but they also have a separate main seating room, so you can bring company, squish into a comfy booth and socialize while just being lulled by the music in the next room. You can go as sugar crazy or as dirty and dry as you want with your Martini, these people know what they are doing. Basically, if you are looking for a pick-​me-​up in your day, Dazzle Jazz will take you to a happy place!

On our last morning in Denver we decided to check this place out for brunch. It’s a VERY popular place – good thing they take reservations! There was a live jazz band playing that particular Sunday morning and it was a nice accompaniment as we stuffed our faces with all the brunch buffet offerings! The selection was very good with something for everyone. I can’t even remember everything I had but I know I liked it all – especially the bottomless mimosas and bloody marys. The price was moderate so it’s not a super-​fancy brunch, but I felt like it was a good value. Definitely a nice way to end our Denver excursion, even though I never did order a Denver omelette.
STEPH JUDGEMENT: Apparently one of THE places for a weekend brunch in Denver and lived up to the hype for me.

Eager to attend their much-​talked about brunch, I finally had an excuse to attend for a drunk brunch celebrating a dear friend’s 30^th birthday. Though parking was a bit of a hassle along Lincoln, the two block walk was a nice way to walk me up on a brisk Sunday morning. Plus — they take reservations, so there’s no need to wait endlessly for the promise of a table.
Taken directly to our table, I was expecting a much more trendy interior, but was found comfort in the fact that the décor in the main dining room is understated and doesn’t have to conform to trendy to be relevant. They are all about the music, company, and expansive brunch.
Speaking of brunch — never have I ever witnessed a brunch with boxed cereal you pour yourself, or where you walk up to the bar to order your mimosa… after mimosa, after mimosa; which can cause a bit of a bottleneck of thirsty brunch goers waiting for their Sunday Funday. The food, every bit of the wide array of cuisine, was really tasty. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the pastries were warm and delightful, and whenever there is melted chocolate and fruit — everyone’s happy. All for a great price with the loveliest staff, I’d say I am a big fan of the Urban Brunch at DazzleJazz. There really is nothing quite like it.

I’m not a fan of jazz, and can take or leave live music in general. I was here for the food. And it was good.
They’ve got a couple different kind of risotto balls. The three cheese risotto balls are very good, but the beef risotto balls are outstanding! Don’t miss out. The ground chuck burger was delicious, I highly recommend getting it with chipotle mayo. And this place does a Moscow Mule right!

This place inspired me to create a list of underrated locales. I read a few uncomplimentary reviews about the food, which kept my expectations low. Our friends invited us for an early dinner last Sunday, and we were there for happy hour.
Dazzle has plenty of cocktails on the menu. I tried the Vesper and a lemon drop. Both were delicious and adequately strong. I highly recommend the risotto balls and asparagus salad. My husband also enjoyed his burger.
We didn’t stay for the music, which was perfectly fine by me but if you dig jazz it might be a bonus!

Dazzle Jazz is your $ 20 vacation to Paris or New Orleans, combining some of the best Jazz artists with dinner-​style shows! As the room dims and the music fills the space, you really could be anywhere in the world!
Lots of the Unilocal reviews concentrate on the food, but just for a second, let’s talk about the JAZZ! Check out their line up! JAZZ is what DAZZLE is all about! They bring some of the most relevent current artists to Denver. Get your ticket online, then make a reservation for your party, show up, order some amazing cocktails, dinner– then sit back and take in the show. There really is not a bad seat in the house. Even the table by the kitchen door is really not that bad at all.
I appreciated that Dazzle is a listening room, meaning that they foster «quiet» during the performance. You know that one friend you have who has no filters and can’t stop talking loudly? Don’t invite her. The acoustics are great, and the performances are so intimate. We even spoke a little with Nicholas Payton as he left the stage. Very thrilling! Incredible venue!
Our group found the food to be diverse and delicious! The vegetarian was happy with her chocolate mousse cake and french pressed coffee, while I dug into a huge salad with crispy crab cakes. Our other friend enjoyed the pierogies. No complaints. We found the hostesses to be incredible, the service impeccable, and when an unexpected person showed up, we were reseated with no hassle.
Parking: Unfortunately, parking is relegated to the street. I had to circle twice but found a great spot a half-​block away. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to park, just in case.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a large group (20ish) for brunch. The brunch is $ 20 for the buffet, and $ 10 for all you can drink. The buffet includes pastries, fruits, salads, biscuits and gravy, waffles, meats, omelets, crepes, hot food varieties (pierogies, mac and cheese, potatoes, eggs, etc.), and plenty of delicious desserts. The all you can drink includes basically everything… well liquors, beers, mimosas can be made with a variety of juices… orange, cranberry, pineapple.
Being a fairly thin girl, and coming with a bunch of other thin girls (peer pressure), I would say the price of the buffet is more paying for the atmosphere than paying for brunch. But if you’re someone who can put back some food, by all means you could eat more than $ 20 worth. I definitely drank more than $ 30 worth, that’s all I know.
The jazz is fun and definitely makes you «feel like a grown up,» as another Unilocaler commented. Other than that, the place is a bit plain on the inside. Dimly lit with no special decorations. The music is what spices the place up to create a fun and unique brunch experience.
