Live Music with Brian Nova
Thursday – Saturday, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Savour the sounds of Brian Nova, one of the nation’s top jazz guitarists and vocalists, during an evening out along the downtown Seattle waterfront. Let the lush harmonies of the Benedetto guitar serenade you as you indulge in upscale cocktails and local cuisine in the bar or restaurant.
Because our menu has an emphasis on fresh ingredients, sometimes you’ll see something different on the website from what you actually have in the restaurant. We can promise you that whatever you do have, it will be delicious.
