    I wanna share right away that this buffet is super great (& convenient) for being open everyday of…read morethe week, unlike the Tony Gwynn buffet...- which is only open from Wednesdays thru Sunday from 4pm-9pm --which nothing bad against it... hehe... But main point, pointing out that it is open everyday and that it's convenient because...they offer brunch / lunch / & dinner times! And well, who doesn't like an all day option right? ... Jamul 23 is newer, located in the hotel lobby area. It has class, clean atmosphere and the buffet set up is simply-simple and great. The hostess are great and welcoming. The servers are attentive as well including bussers. It is quite quaint area compared to TG buffet set up but maybe it's cuz they have servers for every area when you grab your food at TG. J23 is more free for all... serve yourself.. which is great to me cuz I can get a little greedy on some crab legs picking my own pieces...TG serves you kindly but you are limited at a time of how much you can take... Brunch and lunch AND dinner are all great choices to dine...I can say cuz I have been to each meal times... All do have seafood. But dinner is where it's at... you have the options between 3-4 different type of crab legs and plus lobster and the scallops are a must and the maki sushi rolls! I will say, I do prefer the TG desserts better. They have a wideee variety... J23, could at least offer full size cookies too.. they have some delicate treats but nothing mouth watering (to me) ... my opinion but I have confidence in my insights of what I'm talking about.. they need the ice cream upstairs! Hehe... That's just me though. So this review can go a lot longer cuz of the all day buffet times and comparing to the TG one but I'll just trust that you give J23 AND BOTH Tony Gwynn buffet a chance! I love them both honestly.

    I've been to Jamul 23 Buffet a few times now. The seafood has been fresh every time I've gone,…read morewhich is definitely one of the highlights. The beef dishes, like the prime rib, have been a little dry. The stir-fry can be hit or miss as well, but most of the time I've found it to be on the dry side. The veggies have been good and fresh. One thing I wish they would improve is the cocktail sauce for the shrimp--it's definitely lacking in flavor. For dessert, the cobbler is worth trying, and the coffee is a nice way to finish off the meal. Overall, there are some hits and misses, but the fresh seafood keeps me coming back.

    While researching Julian staples to visit/try, I came across this restaurant and was eager to try…read morebased on the "farm-to-table" aspect and not going to lie, the food looked absolutely delicious and amazing. We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but at the time we came it appeared that the outdoor was reserved for an event. We happily sat inside! Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

    I came here with family without reservations and we were able to get in. The hostess and server…read morewere super friendly and accommodating. It was a homey atmosphere with excellent dishes.
