This place is a white table-cloth fine dining establishment. Don't be misled though, there is usually always live music and it's a very fun place as well. The founder, Jazz great Jim Croce, hosts a slew of great performers including a young Frank Sinatra tribute band that I would highly recommend. You can get better food elsewhere in the gaslamp but for the price and the entertainment it makes a great place to take a date.

Great food and entertainment. You will have to drop a few bucks, but won't regret a moment. Live music adds to the appeal, but you would go for the food alone. Bring someone you really want to enjoy an evening with.

Thought that this place was a great little find! It came highly recommended by local friends and we were not disappointed! Although it was more than we usually like to spend on dinner we felt the music made the experience well worth cost.

In 1985, Chef/Owner Ingrid Croce opened Croce's Restaurants and Bars as a tribute to her late husband singer/songwriter Jim Croce. Today this "must visit" San Diego landmark not only recreates the warmth and energy from their days of performing together, but it continues to infuse great food and live music in a uniquely warm and inviting atmosphere.

Really trendy place to be on Thur-Sat nights. Sit outside and really enjoy the experience and people walking by. The piano bar is really enjoyable, relaxing and fun. Food is solid, but overpriced. Go on a Sunday when Croce is in town for a great musical treat!!!

Very good food, but I agree: It's going to cost you. Dinner for 2, is easily over $100, if you have some wine with your meal; as well as Coffee and Dessert. But, that is pretty typical for Resturants in the Gaslamp quarter. There is a small bar, that is just to the side of the Resturant. They have incredible jazz musicians playing there, on most nights. I suggest, eat somewhere that has better food for the price, then go to the Bar, to have a drink; and hear some great Music.

This is a little yuppie place in the gaslamp district that has a really good chef. The food is great and the ambiance is wonderful. You can choose to sit on the patio to eat or inside where you will hear music and see the many photos of Croce himself.
