Armstrong Jazz House
A Miracle Mile supper club with three live jazz sets every night and a French-leaning menu with Caribbean and Spanish touches.
Revisado octubre de 2026
Book it for a dinner date or celebration with live jazz any night of the week. The trade-off: it's a sit-down dinner room built around trios, not a late dance club, and it closes at midnight most nights.
Who plays which night
Each night has its own house band, so the night you book decides what you hear. Thursday is the Richard Bravo Jazz Trio and Sunday is the Rafael Valencia Jazz Trio, both billed as Grammy winners. Friday steps up to a quartet, Steve Lee's Magic City Jazztet. Monday through Wednesday go to the Orlando Barrios, Avery Liderman and Patrick Lopez trios, and Saturday belongs to Chord Beat. Most nights it's a trio, which suits listening over dinner more than dancing. Check the schedule before you book, since lineups can shift.
The food and the bill
The kitchen, run by chef Frank Rolando Arrunategui, leans French, with Afro-Caribbean, Spanish and North American influences. The menu promises organic ingredients, sauces made from scratch and no artificial preservatives, and there are gluten-free and vegetarian options. Prices sit at $$, plus a $5 cover per person for the music, a small add-on for a live band with dinner. Wine and handcrafted cocktails are a big part of the pitch, so the bar is where the check grows. Marking an occasion? You can preorder a $100 flower arrangement that's waiting at the table when you arrive.
Picking your set
Three sets run nightly: 6 to 8, 8 to 10 and 10 to midnight. The early set works for a full dinner and a reasonable bedtime. The 8 pm slot is the classic dinner-and-a-show hour. The 10 pm set is your late option, and on Friday and Saturday the room stays open until 1 am, so you can linger after the band wraps. The rest of the week it closes at midnight. With a 4.7 from about 2,400 Google reviews, it's popular enough that booking ahead is the smart move, especially on weekends.
