Urban Jazz Kitchen
We have fallen for the new and improved Urban Jazz Kitchen with its Southern-inspired menu – you can find out why here! But, right now we are talking about how the restaurant is located on its own little pier directly on the water, giving diners some great views of the Pearl. On weekend evenings they have jazz players scheduled to play live from 8:00pm until 11:00pm – be sure to check timings when you book a table.
