Customer Reviews
Food was only lukewarm. Lobster was presented upside down. Scallops do not have a nice brown crust, suggesting that it was not cooked on a hot enough surface. . Restaurant initially smelled… overly fishy and took time to get used to. Service was not very well coordinated either — certain items were served too soon, while other items were served late. Only thing I enjoyed was the cocktail. Overall the place just gives off a vibe of trying to present itself a high end place, but so many details just felt very off.
Super busy Friday night got us some great food, all fresh, pre show downtown. Raw oysters, scallops in mushroom cream sauce(great with warm bread to mop), lobster tail dinner and pepper crusted raw and seared tuna were all hits. We definitely would go back when we're in town!
It was my husband and I's first time at Jay's. We didn't have reservations so we sat at the bar. We had the scallops and mussels for appetizers and they were delicious 😋. For dinner I had the King Crab and my husband had the Fisherman's Platter with swordfish. The entrees were perfect. The crab was melt in your mouth. The bartenders were great. Great service. 5 stars.
This was my 3rd and least favorite trip to Jay's. We were a party of 8 on a packed Saturday. Everything took too long to get, from the drinks, to the apps and entrees. (The server wasn't even aware we had a person that never received their food until we pointed it out.) Our server was okay but far from great. I ordered a bottle of wine for myself and said I'd have some here but take the rest. I ended up with my wine in a paper bag to go 🤨. He did open it after I explained i wanted some in the restaurant. I ordered mussels for the table. Some thought they were incredible, I thought they were okay flavor wise. My big complaint is they were SUPER gritty, like I was concerned I may have broken a tooth. I advised the server and he said there had been some complaints about that. He said sorry bu
Went to celebrate my husband’s retirement milestone. The dining area is beautiful, but you could barely hear the music, so the ambiance was mediocre. Just heard a man next to us talking about a show he was going to following dinner. We orders appetizers to start the evening, crab cakes and scallops. The crab cake was fantastic, but the scallops were undercooked and bland. Our main courses we experienced low quality shrimp and undercooked scallops? We didn’t complete our meals due to the undercooked fish. We ordered a dessert trio, again it was just okay. Key lime pie was outstanding. We will not return due to the ambiance and undercooked fish. Disappointed with our experience.
