    This is a very cool, intimate, live Jazz venue with a warm, elegant inviting vibe. It's got a unique atmosphere and really cool decor you should definitely experience. There's live Jazz 7 nights a week and it's located on the legendary Miracle Mile near other nice restaurants and shops. I love this part of Miami, Coral Gables. AJH is small in size, but big on heart and feeling. It can get pretty busy, so reservations are recommended. There's a sidewalk café too if the weather is right. Our server Arlene was attentive, warm, and caring, and added much to the experience. As a Wedding and Event DJ in Coral Gables, Miami, South Florida, Key Largo, Islamorada, the Florida Keys, and Southwest Florida, I really appreciate good hospitality and positive vibes. Thank you Arlene! The food was pretty good, but this venue is more about the live Jazz which is the real star here in addition to the cozy café ambiance. On this night, Patrick Love Experience Trio and solo vocalist July sounded great!! The real stars here. Very romantic for a date night. Highly recommend!

    The service was top tier but the food was very underwhelming. We came for the jazz band but it was only a piano player and one other person. No singing the entire time. The music on the screen was more interesting. I really appreciated the welcome drink but the food was not great from there. We ordered the salmon and a burger. Both were just average when it came to flavor. I expected more due to this place advertising themselves as New Orleans inspired. However, it fell flat in terms of flavor.

    The drinks were also pretty bad. The old fashioned was watered down and the lychee martini was just poorly made. It had a weird taste to it. I also ordered the passion fruit cheesecake and that was actually flavorful! The ‘cheesecake’ feeling had a strange texture that wasn’t like cheesecake but overall it was delicious.

    I would not recommend if you’re coming for the food or drinks, but the atmosphere is great.

    There is not enough time or space in this format to cover the perfect nature of this place, the food, the service. Ruben was our servers, from start to finish he was on point in every detail, down to the toasting of our tres leches, a, only him, touch.
    The food waa another level of fantastic.
    We had the Mojito, a Malbec. Chicken tostones. Skirt steak with mashed potatoes and the most amazing fries we have tasted. Desert was the best tres leche we have ever had. Coming from frequent desert and sweet treat lovers.
    This place cant stand on 5 stars. You would need 10 or more!
    Wow is an understatement.
    The ambiance, live jazz and vibe was perfection!

    The vibes and hospitality were top notch. We had a wonderful time. From the front greeting with free shots to the complimentary tea at the end of our night we had such a romantic evening. The food however was not amazing. This is a perfect place to either start your night with some delicious drinks or end your night right but I wouldn't recommend the food, it just lacked flavor. Dessert was delicious though! Bruno was our server and was so wonderful! We'll definitely be back 😊

    I had the pleasure of visiting Armstrong Jazz House on a Saturday evening, and I left completely enchanted. From the moment I walked in, it was clear this is not just a restaurant but an experience crafted with heart and soul.

    The service was absolutely wonderful. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making every guest feel special. Nothing felt rushed or delayed.

    The cherry on top was the live band music. It was soulful, alive, and transporting. It filled the room in the best possible way. The sound quality was also top-notch. Even if you sit outside, you can still hear the band play as if you were inside, and see the band through the window.

    The ambiance struck the perfect balance between cozy and romantic. The lighting was warm and intimate, and the chandeliers were an absolute standout. Elegant and inviting, casting a soft glow that made the entire space feel like walking into someone's soul. Throughout the restaurant, inspirational quotes are placed thoughtfully around, adding a layer of depth and warmth that makes you pause, reflect, and appreciate the space even more.

    The food was simply delicious. You can taste the care that goes into each plate. The drinks were well crafted. We also tried the tea, which comes into this beautiful set, and was a perfect end of the experience.

    Above all, you can feel the owner's love for this place in every detail. This is someone who has poured his soul into creating something truly special for the community, and it shows.

    Armstrong Jazz House is hands down one of the best spots for live music in Coral Gables. The atmosphere is classy, intimate, and perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening out. The live jazz was absolutely incredible — talented musicians, great sound, and just the right volume so you can still enjoy conversation.
    The cocktails were top-notch and the overall vibe felt upscale but welcoming at the same time. What really stood out, though, was the amazing hostess. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. That kind of hospitality makes a huge difference.
    If you’re looking for a true jazz experience with great service and ambiance, this is the place. Can’t wait to come back! 🎷✨

    If you’re looking for a truly authentic and memorable, charming, and fantastic real live jazz experience look no further. We didn’t know this place existed until we saw Alexa 👑, the fabulous jazz singer on Monday and Tuesday. (you have to go those nights to see her) TikTok and Instagram post promoting this venue. The vibes were iconic, the mood was perfect, the music the decor and the staff were all on point. The food tasted delicious great portions and priced barely. If you’re a wine drinker, this place is for you, they have Sort of cocktails, but the wine is where it’s at. If you’re looking for a date night, a girls night, a boys night, or if you love flying solo, this would be the perfect location. Major shout out to Alexa 👑 for entertaining the crowd with her beautiful voice and Orlando for his fantastic saxophone skills.

    Everyone here is so accommodating. When we asked to move inside to listen to the band they were so quick to help us get seated. Ruben and the general manager came around multiple times to check in with us. :) Food was phenomenal and the atmosphere is just as lovely. Definitely recommend for a cute date night!

    What a beautiful, magical hidden gem just 15 minutes outside of Miami. Not only is the ambiance & live music lovely, the food & team feel like a warm hug. When we go out for Jazz- we want an experience that feels special & transports us through time. Armstrong does all of that & more. Alfred, the owner is wonderful, the bartenders Alex & Thomas are top notch, & the servers Samuel, Hlieb & Kyo- truly work the space with such warmth and professionalism. Not to mention Arlene- who seems to do a bit of everything- is truly a Queen! When dining- I watched her keep everything running smoothly & was beyond impressed. Last but not least- Vanelly at the front door was the sweetest! The perfect friendly face to greet those just looking to unwind at a special Jazz House. Big thank you to the Armstrong team for such a warm welcome- see you again very soon ❤️

    Came on a Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. We ordered the burger and skirt steak…..delicious! Our server, Ruben, was attentive and kind. The live jazz was the cherry on top of the cake.
    Vibes immaculate. Will come back!

    Great food, service and ambiance. My wife and I came for a light supper and music. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The Pavlova was superb, staff brought a complimentary tea service tray, the music was fantastic, there even two people that sang to their heart’s content. It’s the kind of place Miami should have more of. We engaged in easy conversation with patrons in other tables, altogether a very congenial atmosphere. We hope their business model succeeds in the long run, we need them to stay firm as a great neighborhood place to enjoy good food and music. We will definitely return, and often.

    I had such a wonderful experience here! Our waiter, Rubin, was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He really made the evening feel special. On top of that, the live jazz band was phenomenal. The music created such a warm, vibrant atmosphere and truly elevated the whole dining experience. Between Rubin’s outstanding service and the incredible live music, this place is an absolute gem. Highly recommend!

    Armstrong Jazz House delivers an experience that blends soulful music with creative cuisine. The appetizers, like the New Orleans Chicken Tostones, truly shine — bold, flavorful, and worth coming back for. The entrées, while satisfying, lean toward the average and don’t quite hit the high notes set by the starters. Desserts, however, bring back the melody, sweet and decadent like the nightly jazz ensembles filling the room. Beyond the dining, what makes this place special is its heart — they not only host live jazz seven nights a week but also teach children the art of music, nurturing the next generation of talent. A true community gem for food and rhythm lovers alike.

    An absolute gem in Miami!
    The ambiance at Armstrong Jazz House is simply spectacular, intimate, romantic, and full of charm. The live jazz performance creates a magical atmosphere that makes the entire night unforgettable. The food is great, the menu is small, but thoughtfully curated, with just the right options to enjoy while soaking in the show. Also, they surprise you with some delicious details. Perfect spot for a romantic evening or a unique discovery in the city. Highly recommended!

    A Whole Vibe — Like Stepping Into the 20s (or Your Cool Uncle’s House)

    When it comes to vibes, this place nails it. It feels like stepping back into the 1920s — or maybe just hanging out at your cool uncle’s house who happens to have impeccable taste in music. I actually enjoyed the live jazz here more than I did in the French Quarter, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be coming back.

    That said, if you’re planning to drink, stick to the wine. The cocktails? As bad as they can possibly be — trust me.

    The atmosphere at this place is super chill. The crowd is late 40s-70s ish. You do need a reservation, and on Thursday night that was definitely the case. The band was decent. Mellow. The space was super tight. Most the tables are alongside the wall, and it feels like you are on top of your neighbors. The one lady I basically shared an armrest with kept moving so much and bumping me every time she did, I felt like I was stuck on a flight with a toddler I couldn't escape from.

    The food was not what I expected, especially considering the prices, a bit underwhelming. The steak was well-prepared. But nothing spectacular. The salmon was well prepared too, but again, for the price it wasn't phenomenal. We also split the calamari and shrimp appetizer. Again, we have all had better, was the consensus. (My friend felt the sauce was very watery, I felt like it had a lot of condiments- salty.) I also ordered the French onion soup. That looked like it would be good, but I found it very over condimented, a lot of what tasted like cumin.) I think the best thing about this place is the service. Our waiter Laz did his best to make sure we were happy.

    If you're seeking an unforgettable dining experience, this intimate gem is a must-visit! From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped by the owner's personal touch—each corner adorned with unique decor pieces that tell a story and create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

    The happy hour offerings were exceptional, featuring a curated selection of drinks that perfectly complemented the evening's vibe. But what truly set this place apart was the live music—energetic, soulful, and absolutely off the charts! It transformed the night into a lively celebration, making it impossible not to tap your feet or sing along.

    The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring every guest felt special. Whether you're planning a romantic evening, a night out with friends, or a solo retreat, this restaurant offers an experience that's both unique and memorable.

    I can't wait to return and relive the magic. Highly recommend!

    A great idea for a meal with a difference!
    I went here a few weeks ago and there is a wonderful atmosphere here. The place is small but not crowded and has a nice intimate feel. Food was all great we had the calamari to start which was not crispy but I enjoyed it. Burger main course was very nice and the dessert was a beautiful pavlova. Mango mojito was also delicious. A welcome drink at the door upon entry was also a very nice touch. We enjoyed our night here and I recommend

    María provided a great service. Explained all the dishes and kept checking on us. The am since is prime and the music was truly serene. The complimentary passion fruit/vodka drink and the lychee martini were exquisite. The calamari and shrimp platter were cooked to perfection. And to top it off the dessert was just heavenly. Come and enjoy a top Bryce dinner and a show.

    OBSESSED! Wonderful date night place or night out with the girls! Great atmosphere and the live jazz was so cool. All of the decor is so beautiful so great photo moments! Our waiter Las was very charismatic and made the evening fun and memorable. The food wasn’t as amazing but still pretty delicious. I would say it’s definitely more for the vibes and possibly drinks! Would totally recommend!!

    If you’re looking for a cute date night, you’ve found the spot. Located right on miracle mile, you can do valet or park in a garage a block away. The staff are extremely pleasant and attentive and seem to enjoy working where they do. The music is fantastic, the musicians are talented. The food was delicious!! A little pricey in the end, but if you’re coming for a special occasion, it’s definitely worth it. It’s very small so make sure you make a reservation. We had a cute table for 2 right in the front window and it was perfect. We felt the right amount of isolation and didn’t feel like we were on top of the other patrons. Very cute jazz house! Reminded us a bit of New Orleans.
