I moved from Miami Florida. ..I recommend jazz bistro...Cuban sandwich on point.♡ delicioso
Travelled nearly 3000 miles and this was the dining experience of the trip. The physical surroundings are understated, but the food rivals anything I've tasted throughout the world! The salmon was cooked to perfection and the Cuban flavors popped...was sad to see the meal end. We shared tastes around the table and each was a delightful flavor surprise.
Highly recommend this hidden treasure! Tell Antonio we said hello...

Found this place on TripAdvisor as #1 Restaurant in Fairbanks, and it sure lives up to that. I can’t believe that this small, homely and simple restaurant is the top, but it really deserves that. Came in 10 minutes before closing, and was surprised when they warmly invited us in, then hosted us for the next hour. The owner welcomed us unhurriedly and prepared tables very quickly for us, then provided his recommendations and shared his tales. During dinner, he played some jazz tunes on the keyboard, with vocal accompaniments, and it provided a pleasant atmosphere for dining. Oh, and yes, the food is great too. The salmon, shrimp and pork all came with a side of beans and rice, and each were remarkably flavoured in their own unique Cuban ways. The salmon is especially unique, and they import their spices and meat from outside for higher quality. The beef sliders come with the best panini bread I’ve tasted. Will definitely be coming back in my brief stay here. It’s rare to find such remarkable tasty comfort food in the Alaskan winter, with such friendly and engaging service. First time writing a Yelp review, and more than happy to.
Such excellent food. I loved it. We came for dinner. I had the tapas. Even the roasted vegetables were awesome. They don't have a liquor license but the people at the table behind us brought their own wine. Plus live music. I am so glad this place is in Fairbanks - I can't wait to try it for lunch.
This is a hidden gem in Fairbanks. The ambiance is excellent with great music. Very clean and welcoming staff. The food was excellent and flavorful.
We had a wonderful Christmas Eva at Jazz Bistro. The vibe was awesome. Due to the storm, the band couldn’t make it to come to perform, so the boss played impromptu music for us! Very impressed and so Caribbean. The food were good but the desert was too sweet. The food were expensive. Overall, if you are a jazz fan, come and try! You won’t be disappointed.
YOU GUYS!!!!
My husband and I walked in with no reservation and were greeted and seated immediately. The lighting and music made for GREAT atmosphere after a long hectic day at the office. Our host/the owner was absolutely marvelous! There are no words to describe the amazing service and conversation we had experienced. I was absolutely not expecting this! I don’t do “new” very well and I had never experienced a menu like this before. I was beyond satisfied with everything we ordered. I can promise you my husband and I have already decided to spend our future date nights here @ The Jazz Bistro on 4th street in Fairbanks. They also do Latin nights in the evening for couples looking for something fun to do together without the hectic background scene.
Honestly there’s not enough stars ⭐️ for me to leave a genuine review. If you’ve never been to the Jazz Bistro do yourself a favor and start the car!!!
Incredible little find! Came during the week so it was moderately slow which was nice, we got a table right away. Host was super nice, I guess this place has been on the food network and after having the food i can see why! Cuban food and tapas! I’m very happy i did not share my shrimp cocktail which was incredibly delicious but filling on its own. It was like a hearty stew and I highly recommend it! Pollo con Crema… my goodness… the chicken itself was amazing without the sauces but the crema and goodness surrounding it is seriously top notch. Great selection on wines, the beers you’d expect, i didn’t see any spirits but with all the wine i didn’t miss it. Great food, amazing insta worthy presentation, lovely service! A little pricier than other places but the food quality makes it worth every cent!
Really good food and the mood/environment very Latin. My mom and I came here right when they opened. We made a reservation and it was a breeze. Finding parking wasn't difficult even though the restaurant is in Fairbanks. We went close to 6pm on a Friday. The owner is nice, professional, and Cuban! Us being Peruvian, we enjoyed speaking with him in our mother language. The food was fresh and delicious. Table service was also appropriate and not overwhelming. The portions were pretty good portions too. This restaurant is very popular and a reservation is needed because it fills up quickly. While we were there they were playing latin music in the background. However, I know they have life music there too. There were instruments close by the entrance. My mom was visiting AK, but I will definitely come back again.
Make your reservations today, this is the spot to visit while you’re in Fairbanks! The flavors took me back to my time in Little Havana and I am hooked! Below are picture from my BACK TO BACK visits. I’m excited for my next work trip; I want to try everything on the menu. . . Buen provecho!
This place is amazing!!!! The Food was fantastic!!! The atmosphere, the people, the music. You have to check this place out!! I ordered the Pernil with rice and beans. I also ordered the Cuban bread. This place is definitely one of my new favorite spots in Fairbanks! I am so glad I found this place. I will definitely be back!

Ever spend time outside in Fairbanks, AK in February? It's cold (duh). People that have never experienced it really won't get it. What business does a restaurant specializing in Cuban food have in such a place? I have no idea, but they're owning every minute of it. I took a wrong turn and happened upon this little gem called Jazz Bistro on 4th and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was on the fence about what I should have for dinner, but after a little chit-chat with my super-friendly server, I was sold on the Cuban Churrasco Style Steak. It was, in a word, outstanding. Everything on the plate was good on its own, but when taken together as a whole, it provided an extremely tasty, well composed dish. The atmosphere is laid back with great music played at the perfect volume -- the music is front and center without hindering the ability to carry on a conversation. I'm still not sure about their back-story and how they ended up I'm Alaska, but I'll save my questions for the next time I visit as I'll definitely be back for more.
Wonderful food. Rico was so friendly and nice. We'd love to come back here. We had a shrimp appetizer that was kind of like a bowl of soup that was wonderful. We also had a salmon dish and a halibut dish. They were both exquisite. They would make you slap your mama! Congratulations Rico!
