My husband and I stopped by The Rex before heading to see Shen Yun today, hoping to grab a quick bite. Despite the fact that they were preparing for their own show at 2:00, the staff was incredibly accommodating and made sure we were served quickly with our food. We really appreciated the fast and friendly service — it worked out perfectly for both of us! The atmosphere was great, and the food hit the spot. Thanks again for taking such good care of us! We’ll definitely be back.

Great location, great price. Attendant only present during working hours, however customers have their own access card to gain property and room entry. Room was fairly small, they do have bigger option. I had to share a common bathroom in the hall, which was a new experience. Bring slippers if you’re weird about stuff like that - otherwise very good service and didn’t have much disruption from the bar/restaurant below - especially during Friday/saturday.

A fine experience. Hotel vibe is cool, inside and out; the room was clean and just right for me. I enjoyed the pub dinner while taking in a jazz quartet's excellent show. Location is good and parking was no problem. Definitely would stay again.

The Rex is an absolute gem of a restaurant! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone for an unforgettable evening. The live jazz elevates the dining experience to another level. The musicians are nothing short of magical, weaving together melodies that transport you to another world.

Tonight, I was particularly captivated by the saxophone—each note seemed to dance through the air, wrapping around the delicious aromas of the food. The service was fantastic; attentive yet unobtrusive, making sure our glasses were always full and our needs met.

If you're looking for a place where great food meets extraordinary music, look no further than The Rex. It’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. Highly recommend!

Spectacular. That is the word I would use to describe the experience I had at The Rex Jazz and Blues Bar. Doorman is friendly, great ambiance, and the band playing was out of this world. If you’re looking to spend 1-2 hours with great jazz and music, this is your place. Very happy we were able to come here.
