    We spent 700 dollars , and they wanted a cover charge to hear the band. The valet charges per hour, 5 dollars so instead of a set fee. Money hungry

    Great food and drinks. The roof was great. We were over on the side though. Felt a bit excluded.

    The food was fantastic! The four of us had: 2 Sea Bass, 1 Scampi and 1 lobster! We began with a round of perfectly mixed Martinis and a something Roberto which received a rave review, and excellent white wine. The service was excellent, and though not hurried, quick enough to accommodate our Theater reservations. The dinner ware and flatware were perfect for the dining room. We were downstairs, with a roaring fire on a chilly evening, so the ambiance was perfect. The seasonings were different on each food, which was also appropriate to the dish. Highly recommend.

    We have been coming to Mozambique for years. One of our favorites. Last night, we came for dinner and live music in the new Ivan’s House Live. At first, the service was great except we had 3-4 different servers, asking for our drink orders so we weren’t sure exactly who was waiting on us. When my boyfriend ordered his dinner, he had asked for a baked potato to be subbed for the mashed potatoes that came with the filet mignon. They brought his plate with the mashed potatoes and then said the baked potato would be a separate charge - after the fact. No one checked on us after that. Later on, after the music started, we were ready for a second cocktail. We waited another 20 minutes or so for anyone to check on us, so then my boyfriend got up to find our server. Another 15 minutes goes by before we see him and give him the order. I get that the bar area is jam packed because of the new music venue, but the service needs to improve.

    We had appetizers which were less than average. The drinks were amazing, I had the Old Fashion Mezcal which was great and my wife had a non alcoholic beer. Ambiance was amazing.

    Overall, it was a great Sunday brunch with Jazz. Great performer. The only thing is that they may need more waiters. It took a long time for a waiter to come , and only because three tables complained. I do love Mozambique 🌻💖
