Food: Delicious taste in familiar dishes

Industry Cafe's menu may lack variety and creativity but the satisfaction it brings to customers is substantial. Their vegetarian platter is a complex mix of flavors that fully satiates, while the red lentils give a comforting vibe of a homecooked meal. The chicken tibsi deserves a mention for its perfect seasoning, striking balance in spiciness and huge serving.

Vibe: Coziness marred by awkward buzz

Ironically, one aspect that distinguishes Industry Cafe & Jazz is also its downfall. The live Jazz experience often magnifies the cozy set-up but televisions running on low volume are an odd distraction. Pair that with a small and high-priced drink list, it's safe to say that the place has an inconsistent vibe.

  • Great To Entertain

    Live jazz enhances dining, often noted as a high-quality, enjoyable experience.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Ambiance is mentioned as both cozy and dim, offering a balanced perspective.

  • Bad Buzz

    TVs on with low volume felt distracting and out of place, not trendy.

Perks: Thoughtful dietary options, poor reservation

On the bright side, Industry Cafe & Jazz features an impressive range of veggie-friendly dishes, catering to specific dietary needs. If you're lucky, parking could be troublesome and making reservations for less than 4 people is a no-go. Staff tend to lean towards the slow and unprofessional side, leading to unwelcome delays.

  • Great For Diets

    Diverse veggie-friendly options that cater to specific dietary needs admirably.

  • Okay For Groups

    Mixed experiences with space and service efficiency for group dining.

  • Hard To Hear

    Volume of music is often too loud, hindering conversation and overwhelming diners.
