Capone's Jazz Club combines Italian food with fresh ingredients and West Coast flair with smooth live jazz and blues every night of the week. The restaurant is in Vancouver's trendy Yaletown, but is one of the more reasonably priced options in an area that can be very expensive. Capone's is a long narrow space, romantically lit, with mostly tables for two and some bench seating, along with a long polished bar. The food ranges from Italian-themed appetizers to house specialties like the smoked chicken and tomato chowder and a beautiful house salad with cashews, fresh strawberries, and chevre. You can munch your way through appetizers and individual-sized pizzas alongside a fine wine list or signature martinis, or go for generously portioned entrees, featuring chicken, seafood, and pasta, and end with a decadent dessert. After 8:00 each night, the live music adds a wonderful cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Service is VERY relaxed - your needs are taken care of, but there's absolutely no rush to hurry you through courses or push you out the door when you're done. On most nights, it's not busy enough that there are people waiting, so you can linger with your drinks or coffee and simply bask in the wonderful music.
