Since when did Zinfandel do live jazz? I've never seen it there Of course, I don't usually go during Happy Hour.

They just started this month. Friday nights, 7 to 10, outside on the patio.

I think it will vary, but last Friday, they had a keyboard and sax man. The keyboard was set up so that a synthesized bass came from the left end, while the rest of the keyboard had piano sound. The guy was really talented, able to keep time with the bass notes while playinng chords and melodies with his right. No need for drums or drum machine.

The sax guy switched between alto, tenor and clarinet.

They played a bunch of standards; All Blues, Meditation, Take 5, Girl from Ipanema, etc.

We went recently - the service was slow but the food was really good (my burger was one of the best I've ever had). I liked the new look too. The views are the best in Folsom. We'll be back.

There's one born every minute. The burgers are the only safe thing there, they can't hardly wreck that. But then again they can't even keep their beer going so who knows. Try it again, you'll be disappointed.

We went on Sunday. Our waiter was fantastic - a tall, goateed fellow. There were a few hiccups in terms of everything being brought out together but overall the experience was great.

I am, however, disappointed that this Sudwerk has no German food whatsoever.

So they are open right now but not officially? What does that mean? They can suck because they aren't "officially" open? With all the choices around here to eat they should have their act together on day one, not after 2 months of practicing and pissing people off don't ya think? And isn't the owner some sort of experienced restaurant guy? He sure aint playing that part either.

What that means is that many businesses go through a "warm up" period before they put out a big sign that says "grand opening" and throw parties and promotions to draw in customers. Sure they are officially open now, or else they wouldn't be serving the public yet. But they will undoubtedly have some hiccups before things are running smoothly. That's just how it goes in the restaurant business. When they put up the "grand opening" sign (assuming they do it that way), you'll know that they consider themselves fully up to speed.

I know many of you feel like one disappointment should be all it takes to walk from a place for good. It's your money so that's your prerogative, of course. But if Sudwerk ends up being a very good place to eat and drink, it will also be your loss.

We went there again. Maude waited on our table. . . the food was either under- cooked, over-cooked, or the wrong order. I don't understand how the parking lot is full every night. They must be importing patrons from another area.

I'll have to look into this "Grand Opening" deal a little bit more. I have noticed the "Grand Opening" sign on China Buffet has been up since it opened back on March 20th. So I guess it's customary for a 2 month Grand Opening? I really hope the DUDWERKS Grand Opening doesn't last that long.

Because it's new and in a good location.
I'll wait for them to get the kinks out and start getting good reviews regularly before checking it out. If it never happens, I'll never go.
