   Amazing place, great food and drinks. We ordered the spring rolls and potato skins for appetizers. For entree we got the wagyu burger and the back ribs. Our drinks were blood orange limoncello spritz and salted caramel espresso martini. Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding. Will definitely be back!!!

   Started with chicken taco and the spinach artichoke dip it was so good, then had the waygu burger and the NY Strip the meat was juicy and the french fries were fresh and the mash was perfect. my waitress was amazing loved the service. I really love the decor and the location. The parking lot across the street is a perfect distance for a girl in heels. I will be back for the hip hop vs reggae event

   I had the pleasure of dining at the J Grill , and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The menu was diverse, offering a perfect mix of classic favorites and creative new dishes. We can wait to come back and try more!

   I had high hopes of this place after seeing it on Instagram but it was a total disappointment. From Valet to the servers, the staff was untrained and underpowered. The restaurant is located on a one-way street and there is no parking anywhere so valet is a must. However to use the valet you need to park and block the street to then give the keys to the attendee. This shouldn’t be problem but since it was under staffed and there was only one attendee it resulted in a stop of the through traffic behind. One could either wait for them to come back (couple of mins since parking is far away) and hold up the traffic behind or if your a decent person you have to go around the neighborhood again to let the traffic pass. On a busy street like there should be a minimum of two attendees so it doesn’t cause any built up traffic. Now going inside. The waitress was good but at no fault of her own she was the only one running the show so she was spread thin which resulted in poor service. The bus servers were terrible and completely untrained. When serving they split some food which happens, accidents happens. That’s not a big deal. However When clearing the table, they staked the plates on top of each one another directly in-front of the person sitting down rather than taking each persons plate separately. Completely unprofessional bussing. Lastly the food was MID at best. I got the J Burger and to be fair it was probably one of the worst burgers I’ve ever had. Apps were sub par and entrees were even worse. Overall experience was terrible. Would not recommend and would not go back. Only reason I didn’t give it 1 star is because they are brand new and can hopefully turn it around.

    Hostess was very helpful and understanding in trying to find a quieter location. Bartender and waiter were friendly and attentive. Vincent came by to check on our satisfaction. Food was prepared as ordered and delicious. Very good neighborhood spot.
