I had not been to JG Cooks in a very long time. We went on a Saturday night at 7:00 PM. It was very busy and the place looked great. We started with a few drinks, mine was run of the mill but she had the expression Martini and it was really good! Our waiter was extremely enthusiastic about the specials and he sold them to me hook, line , and sinker. I started with the Burnt Ends and my lady ordered her favorite, the Wedge salad. Her salad was a nice crisp portion of iceberg lettuce and the Blue Cheese dressing was home made and you could tell. It was a good start to the meal. The Burnt ends were very tasty and rich so the pickled onion was a great topping for them since the acid complimented the rich flavor.
For our main dishes, I ordered the special Beef Wellington. I have seen this on Gordon Ramsey shows but I never had it. It was good, not great. The bottom had dough that was undercooked and raw. The truffle sauce it came with was earthy and rich. The steak was cooked medium but it was a little less tender than I had hoped. As I was eating it I thought that I'm not sure what cut of Beef they use for Wellington, but overall, it was pretty good. It came with garlic mashed potatoes and they had great flavor, but a little too much salt for me.
Glori got the petit filet and shrimp Marsala and she really enjoyed it. The shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly. We got desert to go so the photos didn't make the review but the Cheesecake and the mud pie were an excellent ending to a really nice nice out. I would definitely go back and I enjoyed our meal. read more
