Cicada on the whole is a great place, their food, although a little pricey is really worth it for an occasional evening out. The staff are generally helpful. Their bartender is very nice and cordial. My wife and I went to dance but we could not even hear the singer the last sunday when we went. Cicada club is something fun to go to once, but after that its not worth unless there is a new band playing there. The restaurant only has a short list of talent that they hire and we have already seen the same (not very interesting) singer twice there. We had a lot of fun when the swing band The Jive Aces came to Cicada and wish they would return. We just wish there would be more hip bands so we would have something new and cool to swing dance to.
