    Wonderful experience! My husband and I went out for dinner to celebrate my new job, and we are so glad we went to Jazzboline! You have to try the Lamb Meatballs app - the cheese sauce they come with is amazing. My husband had the short ribs and I had the natural chicken breast meal - both mouthwatering. I couldn’t decide on a wine to go with my meal so I thought I’d ask for a recommendation…Jonathan, the restaurant manager, suggested Rainstorm Pinot noir, and he was spot on! Finished out the dinner with the crème brûlée - just incredible all around. Olivia our waitress was attentive, never had to wait for anything. Highly recommend to anyone who wants delicious food, fantastic service, with a great atmosphere!

    The food was fresh and plentiful, with multiple vegetarian options available. My boyfriend and I shared a souvlaki plate with spanakopita and an appetizer and that was enough for the two of us. Anthony took good care of us, with kind attention, recommendations, and prompt service.
