Ernest & Judi Gardner, owners from the Bay Area, found a prominent location in downtown Reno, Nevada facing the Truckee River and beautifully landscaped Riverwalk area to operate a restaurant/night club “EJ’s Jazz Café” featuring Cajun/Creole Cuisine, live musical entertainment (principally featuring jazz/blues artists).  EJ’s Jazz Cafe provides ambiance of cool contemporism as customers enjoy fine Cajun/Creole Cuisine coupled with Jazz music to create laid back, entertaining atmosphere (similarly found in most metropolitan cities such as an San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans, etc..).  EJ’s Jazz Cafe is a downtown Reno destination for the local population as well as tourists.

The Cajun/Creole Cuisine/Jazz Club combination comes at a perfect time as Reno's population growth and diversification continues demand for additional choice in venue, both in the dining experience and selection of entertainment. The location is also perfectly situated amidst ARTOWN.
