   We had a table of 11. The service was good and the waiter was very friendly. Food was fair at best. Some examples, I ordered the stuffed shrimp with risotto. I substituted the risotto for broccolini. When I received my dinner, the was a huge mound of broccoli, not broccolini, and there were 4 medium sized shrimp with very little crab imperial. This was a $34 plate of broccoli. Terrible. Several others ordered the short ribs. One of the plates was over half fat of what was supposed to be short ribs. Last the drinks. 3 of us ordered slightly dirty martinis. I received mine in a wine glass with blue cheese stuffed olives. The other two received theirs in a martini glass but received pimentos stuffed olives. My martini had a ton of olive juice, one had almost no olive juice and one was fine. Just not the experience we were expecting. Most likely will not be going back.

   Jam was a wonderful find that did not disappoint. We were seated quickly in a warm, windowed dining room adjacent to a wine collection room divider. Jack, our server was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable about Jam’s menu. We opted for fish tacos (huge portion of 2), and a Rehoboth Beach version of a cheesesteak constructed with a generous chunks of filet mignon (one of the best cheesesteaks we’ve ever had). Both dishes were accompanied by delicious sides of truffle-parmigiana fries and cheesey fries. The meal was better than expected and thoroughly enjoyed. We’re heading back next Thursday for Jam’s steak night!

   We ordered the prime rib specials. The meat was overcooked and looked and tasted that it was microwaved.

   Wow!! Something has changed at Jam. We used to go to Jam at the old location but have not been to the new location. The meals at the old location were good at a fair price. Last night we were a party of seven and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Beet salad, chicken wings, chicken/eggplant parmigiana, pork chop, short ribs. The presentation was appealing and as I mentioned before, everything was delicious. This restaurant is definitely going on our favorites list!!

   First visit since Jam moved to current location. Decided to try Wednesday night off season steak special with a party of 4. Had to wait at host table for 5 min for someone to greet us. Restaurant was not busy at 6:30. Asked about advertised $10 Manhattan special on website - Waiter had no idea and had to check only to return and tell us that ALL MARTINIS were $10. I was asking about the advertised Manhattan special. 3 opted for Caesar and I ordered the Wedge. Salads were good but accompanied by a pesky table gnat. 2 selected Prime Rib and 2 chose the 6 oz filet. All came with luke warm chunky mashed potatoes. The Filet temperature was as ordered and tender. We both ordered the steak with Demi. The Prime rib slices appeared gray-ish as if they had been cut and sitting for a while. This entree came with both Au Jus and Horseradish which I used on my filet. The online special indicates 1/2 price off select wines and it included 3 options. Other local restaurants offer 1/2 off their entire wine inventory during their special nights. Price per person for salad or soup, entree and veg was $35.00.

   Foo and service was incredible. We went twice - two consecutive nights for dinner. Exceptional on all levels and reasonable prices too. Tastiest food we ever ate.

    Went for what I'm told was they're first ever Steak Night. Had a great Prime Rib (one person had an amazingly good filet...) with BIG salad and one side for $35/person. $10 Manhattans, Martinis and more, too - along with half price bottles of a few select wines. REALLY good food, drinks and value. We eat here often, but mostly for lunch and it's always good. This was first dinner in some time and we'll be back for sure. Cannot recommend highly enough - not just on Steak Night, but always!
