There were 4 of us with big appetites. We ordered 1 appetizer, 1 vegetable dish, 2 meat dishes and a pizza. All were excellent and came out in a timely fashion so we weren’t rushed. We were satisfied after but went ahead and ordered a dessert-twisted donuts. They were warm and delicious. A great way to end the evening. Bill came to $192.00 before tip. That would have been much less if 3 of us didn’t have 2 drinks each.

Everything fantastic with a nice Trolley 5 IPA. Great service, fun place right in the core of Bridgeland. We love Jin-Bar!
