    We always have a positive experience at Jameson's. The service is great and so is the food. In the…read morerare chance something isn't to your liking, the staff quickly rectify it for you. We especially love coming here for New Year's Eve for the specials. The ambiance is nice anytime you come here. They've recently added lots more entrees, appetizers and drinks specials.

    We used to be Jameson regulars, but our most recent visit was likely our last visit. Quality,…read moreservice, and ambiance have all decreased as of late. Both of the last two times we've been in, I've ordered the beef Wellington special, and both times it's arrived inedibley raw. The first time this happened (celebrating our anniversary), the puff pastry appeared cooked on top but was raw underneath and the meat was still cold inside. I sent it back and asked for it to be finished. They clearly slapped the cut side of the meat on a hot pan to sear it and returned it with the puff pastry dough still raw. I opted to send it back again and just nibble on my husband's prime rib instead of having them attempt to cook the Wellington for a third time. A manager checked in on us after my husband had finished his meal and we'd already paid our bill (the server did have the Wellington removed from it). Mistakes happen, so we gave it another go. This most recent time, the puff pastry was obviously underdone when it arrived at the table (so much so that I told my husband I was pretty sure I was cutting into an uncooked steak), and when I cut into the Wellington, it was still cold and raw. Not rare. Not blue. Raw. I opted not to have them try it again after two hours of waiting, and instead ordered a simple pasta dish which was mediocre at best. Given the variability in temperature within the dish, I have a strong suspicion it may have been microwaved. My husband's steak (ordered medium rare) was barely blue, with sections he didn't eat because it was undercooked. Our appetizer (potato skins) never made it to the table, and the pasta in the chicken noodle soup was still crunchy. It was not particularly busy, but our server rarely checked on us, and we spent portions of the meal with nothing to drink. He never noticed or inquired about the appetizer. No manager ever checked in on us, even after having to send a raw meal back. What was once a staple in our restaurant rotation has found its way onto our never-again list.

    The food was absolutely delicious. The only things ive tried and not liked were the peking chicken…read more(wrap things?) (too saucy....) and the pierogis (not enough flavor and too oily, but not at fault of kitchen staff). The menu has tons of variety too, and their specials change out so regularly i cant keep up! The drinks ive gotten there have been phenomenal so far, and the mocktails dont make you feel like youre missing out on any fun. In addition to the Food, the service is positively delightful. Our server last time i went was also the bartender, and the other staff were kind enough to step in and help him with our orders, and he himself was more than helpful enough. The interior of the resturaunt was beautiful with wonderful lighting and a very cohesive layout, but i do have two complaints: the tables are very small and the booths are very low. When you order at a tapas resturaunt, you dont really get just one or two plates at a time, and when a solid quarter of the table is being occupied by the standup menus, the water glass, and the decorative flowers, it gets crowded very quickly. Overall a 9/10. Definitely a wonderful place to go with friends, family, or even on your own!

    I have been meaning to post this for awhile…read more I sadly only have bad things to say.... First! The girls they hire to work here can be VERY rude, the food is not great, I think this is really just a place people get together and drink at so the environment isn't very relaxing. The couple times I've been here there is always loud drunk people.

    The restaurant was packed, everyone seemed to have the same idea as us to dine here…read more My husband ordered the Angel hair pasta with chicken and tomato sauce on the side. It came with a soup. He picked the French onion soup and for 99 cents more you can get it baked... so he did. He loved the soup and would definitely order that again. He didn't really care for the taste of the sauce and the texture of the chicken. He would order something else next time. It was supposed to come with bread but we had to ask for it. I ordered the 2 pancakes with 2 eggs over easy. It was delicious and I would order it again. All the desserts look so delicious. We ordered a square of chocolate peanut butter fudge but it was not very good. Definitely don't recommend it. It was sweet and rich and could have used a little sea salt sprinkled on the top. Definitely did not taste like peanut butter... maybe more of a maple syrupy taste. We will be back again. They have special senior daily dinners too for people over 65 so if you're a senior you may want to dine here. Our waitress was kind and kept asking us if we needed anything. Definitely love the service here! The ambiance is very relaxing. We dined here around 8pm and the lights were dim and it was very comfortable. A perfect place to have dinner and talk.

A bit too far from the crib for casual visits, but worth my recommendation. Eat here.

I had the Kaboom Burger with cheddar cheese and crispy onion straws, seasoned with a great spicy kick--absolutely delicious. They also have a great drink selection whether you're in the mood for craft beer, cocktails, or soda. The seating is comfortable, and the outdoor patio is a great touch with plenty of extra space.

Everything seems to be up at least 10% all over, so I can't fault them for it. I just wish income had gone up that much in a year. Again not their control. But I just can't go eating at restaurants as much. The price of 6.75 for a dog fish beer was imo kinda high and it was rather flat. The coleslaw was honestly so bad and bitter rancid tasting I had to spit it out. Honestly, not a fan of Cole slaw but this is the first I've had to 100% reject eating. The pickle I got that someone raved about, didn't look great when I turned it over The fries honestly could have been cooked a little more but were pretty good. The best part of the meal was the burger though so that sorta saved the whole experience. I sat on the patio and got good service. I appreciated that the to-go wasn't styrofoam. I had to take 1/2 the burger home. There is a 3% surcharge for using credit cards, so I was glad I brought cash, as I'm tired of getting charged for charging. Ha. Overall not bad, but could use some attention to detail.
