At Funky Biscuit: A Mixed Bag of Good and Bad

As I walked into the At Funky Biscuit, I was excited to experience a live music show. Unfortunately, the evening started off on a rocky note. The 6pm show didn't start until 6:25, leaving some attendees waiting impatiently. This tardiness is not uncommon in upscale South Florida communities, where self-absorption can sometimes get in the way of good manners.

The venue itself has its pros and cons. While the music was excellent, with Billy Cobham's band delivering a fantastic performance, the sound mix could have been better. The raised area in the back of the room featured nonstop chatter from nearby tables, which made it difficult to focus on the music. I had to get up twice to find a spot where I could see and hear better.

The atmosphere was also affected by some inconsiderate patrons. A few tables near the stage seemed more interested in watching sports on TV than enjoying the concert. Even worse, one group didn't know or care what artist was performing, instead choosing to chat throughout the show with their backs to the stage.

On a positive note, the staff at At Funky Biscuit did offer some excellent treats. Two hot pretzels served with butter and dipping mustard and cheese were a delightful surprise. The craft beer selection was also impressive, with several options available on tap. The liquor selection was large as well, although I didn't check out the wine list.

The venue itself is small but cozy, with good sightlines and sound quality. There are tables of various sizes available, from small two-person tables in front of the stage to larger round tables for four or more. The Premium Bar across the room offers a slightly different perspective on the action.

Overall, At Funky Biscuit has potential, but some tweaks would go a long way in improving the experience. With better timing and more consideration from patrons, this could be a top-notch music venue. For now, it's worth visiting for the excellent music and decent food, but don't expect a perfect evening.
