Skip to main contentThe only aspect that remains from this bar's former incarnation, Colosso, is the low-lit setting, which is perfect for quiet conversations but makes reading the menu tough. We decided to stick with the basics—herb-sautéed calamari ($8), which was surprisingly light and fresh—and focus on the paintings of jazz legends like Fats Waller and Miles Davis that adorn the front walls. The one thing we could read? An artist statement comparing Davis to an alien and dubbing him the "Mark Twain of Jazz." I doubt Twain would like this comparison, but he sure as hell would love to drink here. MICHAEL MANNHEIMER.
