U-topia Bar & Grill is the perfect blend of music, food, art, drink, service and soul. As you walk through the door, you are instantly greeted, seated and orders promptly taken. Even though I didn't partake in the food (regretting now), the steamed mussels, marinated tomato white wine sauce or a lemon caper cream sauce, and pan-fried brie, with a plum sauce, smelled, looked and even sounded (the oohs-and-aahs from my companions) delicious. The wine ordered was a Cotes du Rhône Domain L'Enclos... perfect for the evening at the jazz club. Even though the food and wine were superb... nothing could beat the awesome tunes coming from the jazz band, Collector's Edition. Vocal bee-bop beats mixed with Cuban drums, keyboard, trumpet, bass, drums, occasional harmonica and the late-coming sax created an evening full of head-bobbing and smiles...

Overall, the perfect Friday evening experience. If you're visiting or living in the area, be sure to stop by. You won't be disappointed. And just to note, they have a sister restaurant, Soussi; next on the list!
