User review by alandjones – On the whole a fairly good experience. Everyone's entree was good and the music was very well done. A good feel to the place was definitely in effect. The only negative that I can relate is that the appitizers were a bit over priced for what you get. So, perhaps not exceptional food for NYC, but certainly exceptional food when compared to other mixed venues (dinner menu & live music) you're likely to find. Taken as a whole we strongly recommend this place. Best to call ahead for reservations becau... read more

A Great Restaurant & Party for 1 price – My Husband & I went to the Sugar Bar on our Anniversary. We were seated promptly by a lovely polite Hostess. The cozy ambiance is extremely beautiful.

Appetizers we had the Shrimp in garlic white wine sauce, catfishstrips and an avocado salad awesome. Our entrees I had Mesquite BBQ Chicken w/Mac-&-Cheese & Collard Excellent. My husband had the MotherLand Grilled Colossal Sh... read more

It's like taking an exotic vacation – This place surprised me. As soon as you walk in, the decor transports you! The place is a little tight, but wonderfully decorated. Ashford & Simpson have created the best celebrity owned restaurant, I have been too. The service was very good, but best of all, the food was delicious. Everyone in our party of 8 enjoyed everything ( and I mean EVERYTHING) on their plates. We were very quiet for a while. The drinks were good too. We went on a Friday and the live entertainment was decent. Who... read more

A highly memorable evening! – Saturday night we were transported to a world we never knew existed on the UWS. It was like walking into an Afro-Carribean village (check out the bathroom!) with leather and/or straw adorning everything. The music was "Garifuno", Honduran/Belizian tribal played by an enthusiastic band with amazing hip-gyrating dancers. The energy permeated the room. Throughout the evening guests were encouraged to get up and "swing what your Mama gave you". Even the staff couldn't help "getting down" briefly on ... read more

A star-powered jazz and jerk joint on the Upper West Side. – The Scene This African-inspired jazz club, owned by former pop duo Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson, is known for drop-ins from the likes of Patti LaBelle and Maya Angelou. In addition to excellent live jazz, R&B and Latin music acts, there's also a bar upstairs, as well as a garden room with a big-screen TV. If the staff seems unpolished, it's because there's a lot going on here. The Food During the week, the menu is Caribbean; on weekends, it switches over to Sou... read more
