Black is the color of seriously flavorful fare as well at Jazz. Their blackened catfish resonates thunderously across the taste buds of Austin, and the blackened tuna with a zesty dill hollandaise is enough to make Jean Lafitte himself limp up to the dinner table. So no more of these jokes about people from Louisiana and their family tree only having one branch. Anybody primal enough to invent this kind of cuisine is all right in my book. And anybody smart enough to bring it to Austin and get it right here deserves kudos.
Jazz is as easy on the pocketbook as it is compelling to the palate.
At 214 E. Sixth St., near San Jacinto, it's conveniently downtown.
