Can anyone recommend any restaurants with entertainment (i.e. jazz bands) perferably in the central NJ area (Edison-Woodbridge vicinity a plus).

Thanks!

Marielle's, a restaurant in the Freehold Gardens Hotel, in Freehold, has live jazz on Friday nights. In case you're wondering how good the food could be at a restaurant located in a hotel in Freehold, I should explain that Marielle's was in two previous locations in Freehold -- in a strip mall after they first opened, which lasted for several years, and then for a much shorter time on Main St. When they were on Main St., they offered music -- mostly jazz, I think -- on a regular basis. I ate several times at those two locations, and the eclectic New American cuisine was always quite good. Acc. to ads they've run in the local paper, it would appear that the food continues in that vein. However, I have not eaten there since this new move a few months ago, so I can't vouch for the food's continued quality. If you want to find out about their jazz line-ups, give them a call at 732-308-9808.

A little further north (Maybe 30 minutes north of Edison) is Shanghai Jazz in Madison- a great combination of live jazz and good quality Chinese food. They usually have 2 seatings Fri & Sat night, and unless they have a really good band/performer, there's no cover (They will sometimes charge a per person minimum for high-end talent - like John Pizzarelli's Trio). I've been there 4 or 5 times, and have always had a great time - good, quick, personable service. Great food, and I've gotten a couple of after dinner drinks on the house.

Thanks for the suggestions! Someone has also suggested Crossroads on North Ave. in Garwood. They have live entertainment most nights. The menu is basically Cajun and I've heard it's pretty good.

Has anyone been there?
