While last Friday was only my first visit to Largo, it is clear that no two evenings in this unique live music venue are the same. Largo certainly presents a case in which it pays to ""know before you go."" Unless you want to wait in line outside from as early as noon for standing space by the bar, you must have reservations far in advance. Check the online calendar regularly for updates on coming artists since there is no email list. Once you arrive and get seated you are repeatedly reminded to shut off your phone and refrain from talking during the performance, which I appreciated even more as the evening wore on. I was lucky enough to go on one of the evenings Jon Brion performed, so it was nice not to have extraneous chatter and texting bleeps taking me out of his eclectic set list of covers and original compositions. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre at best; as my friend (a veteran Largoer) put it, the bread basket is the best thing they serve.
Pros: Atypically intimate music venue
Cons: Sub par food
