    Espresso Martini! Little too strong, but adding chocolate sauce helped balance this out.
    Hana L.

    Wow what an experience! We had a fantastic dinner here for Christmas Eve, and it was all around a good time. Absolutely recommend coming here, in fact we'll definitely be back soon ourselves! Food: 5/5 My partner and I had been snacking and restaurant hopping prior to going to dinner, so we ended up splitting a steak. I was a little worried about how that might be perceived in a venue like this, but our waiter was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable with doing that. We ordered the Prime Ribeye & Jar French Fries. Both were DELICIOUS. I had read some reviews prior for both of these menu picks stating that they were over salted and overcooked, but I would disagree wholeheartedly with those reviews. The steak was a perfect medium-rare for us, the fat melted in our mouths, and the fries were deliciously well-seasoned. I'm usually picky about fat on steak cuts, but I ate all of it without any complaint. One of the best steaks I've ever had, and I've eaten at a lot of steakhouses globally. My partner was so happy with the meal as well, as I recall them telling me about how "even though we were so full, the more I eat this the hungrier I get!" And that was so true! Dessert: 4/5 We got a Butterscotch Pudding to split & I got an Espresso Martini. The Martini was unusually strong, at least for me (I have a high tolerance), so the point down is for that. But again, shoutout to our waiter! He brought a little cup of chocolate sauce for me to add to my drink to make it less heavy, which helped considerably. The pudding was also so good. It was whipped, light, and airy, and again--normally I have an issue with certain textures but even the whipped cream I enjoyed! I usually greatly dislike whipped cream. But not this one. The flavor wasn't too rich, and it was just perfect! My partner was a big fan of this one too. Service: 5/5 OUTSTANDING! I believe his name was Daniel? I might be wrong, but my partner would likely know for sure. I'll update this review later for that! But oh my goodness he was fantastic. My partner rarely dines out, especially at upscale fine dining establishments. So he was a bit nervous however, our waiter made all of these worries dissipate. He was so fun, so energetic, and so accommodating! His silly santa hat was the cherry on top, plus all of the menu recommendations. At the start of the evening we had a significant wait time despite having a reservation. But all of that quickly was out of sight & out of mind because of the great service. Thank you for making our evening so special! We were more than happy to tip him well, especially for working on a holiday evening. All around: 5/5! I highly recommend this restaurant, and we'll be back soon! Happy holidays Jar!!

    Iceberg Wedge

    The food here is really good! The service is excellent and the ambience is good! Things i tried, iceberg wedge salad is AMAZING!! The pot roast is great. The chicken schnitzel is delicious. The filet mignon is delicious as well. Overall, still great after all these years.

    So we started with a couple of cocktails then several appetizers; crab deviled eggs, roasted beet salad and the Roquefort wedge salad. Three of us shared the John Dory, onion rings and the creamed spinach. Everything was excellent, and the service was terrific. Keven, our waiter did an amazing job. Desert was banana cream pie and a sundae.

The restaurant is beautiful and reminds me of being in Mexico. A Spanish theme and style. A lot of seating and it's also spacious with an outdoor patio that is open to the customers and also widely used for many event. Everything was clean from what I noticed. The music volume was tolerable as well as the selection of choice. Felt like I was on vacation for a min. A great spot to have drinks. A great to spot to meet up or even come for a date. The Melrose Mule was cool. Very refreshing like the bartender mentioned. It was different than the usual mules I get. And the Improved Whiskey was like having an Old Fashion and Whiskey Sour together. It did not disappoint. I also had an attentive bartender who had a good attitude. Didn't take long for him to make my drinks nor put in an order for a smash burger. The smash burger was acceptable. It was good, however, I was expecting something a little bit bigger in size. I like the presentation with it being wrapped in foil. It was cooked perfectly, it was hot and flavorful. No complaints other than the size. I wouldn't mind pulling back up for another happy hour when I'm back in the area. They have some more drinks I would love to try.
