Our server wasn’t exceptionally great. I had her bag my food and she put the bag on the floor. Food on the floor? Even in a bag, that’s a No No!

I normally eat here regularly due to good experiences but today was terrible. We had a 1:15 reservation and our server Jack no only had poor communication with us, leaving us with only 10 minutes to order before the kitchen closed but also never returned after taking our order. We had to flag him down twice and when it was time to pay he lied about being able to separate our checks. Additionally, the food did not seem to meet the quality standards I am used to today. Considering the size of our ticket, and my unresolved frustration, this review has prompted me to contact the manager tomorrow to address. Hopefully this server moves on.

Frequent customer there but today food is below our expectations and experiences. Breakfast potatoes are overcooked to a bit mushy, carrot cake is dry and toasted with no carrot favor, and most of the foods ordered are too salty.

We had a beautiful Friday evening !! This was the first time having dinner here. I've had lunch on multiple occasions. The Atmosphere was perfect both settings!! :) We weren't aware that they had a patio, but; were able to sit out there and enjoy our meal near the heated lamps!! The Appetizers, Entrees, and Beverages were all delicious! Juan our server, was very knowledgeable of menu options and very attentive to those of us seated in his section. I would definitely recommend this as place to return and invite others!! :)

I visited JTR Memorial Green based on a recommendation from a family member. The waiter was very nice and prompt. The atmosphere was cool (it was brunch so I wasn't looking for anything spectacular). The lobster bisque was very tasty although my entree was subpar. I ordered the chicken & waffle with the cheese grits on the side. The waffle was dry and the chicken breast had no flavor to me. My husband enjoyed his veggie omelette and pancake (I must say the pancake was good). My daughter's traditional breakfast was okay. I'd like to go and try a lunch item to give them another try.

I had lunch with my niece who had been doing a lot of traveling…Paris, London. I had not seen her since Christmas and this is a favorite restaurant for us to go to. I arrived a bit early and checked the menu and it was missing the famous Jonathon burger I had had in the past. I asked the server if it was still available and he said yes, so that’s what I had and it was absolutely as good or better than I remembered. After easily managing to devour the whole burger and fries, we sat and talked a bit more and my niece said she was still hungry so I said well why don’t we share a dessert Well, she got the chocolate cheesecake and I had a crème brûlée so much for sharing a dessert. Both were delicious. Great food, great ambience, great service. I can’t recommend highly enough!
