This is a 2 part review. If I was commenting on food only, it would be a 5 star review. However,…read morethe management of this establishment needs serious help. Ambiance and interior of the restaurant is fine. FOOD- FANTASTIC. Very flavorful Mediterranean food, cooked well and arrived to the table hot. Granted, it took over an hour to get to us, but more on that below. We ordered the Mediterranean feast, fig bruschetta and house salads which were all great. Tasty tzatziki and pita. The dolma that my mother ordered as her meal came out about 15 minutes after everyone else's food were okay. Overall solid food with no complaints. SERVICE- Our waiter, Harmony, (who mentioned it was only her second day on the job), is the main reason my review is not much more dissatisfied. But make no mistake, the patrons at the table near us were livid with the service they received as well. We stood at the entrance to the restaurant for over 15 minutes, with several staff walking by and not acknowledging our presence or asking to put us on a waitlist but rather averting their eyes and rushing by. (The sign at front asked us to wait to be seated). When I was finally able to flag someone down, they said it would be around 15 minute wait which we were more than okay with, considering the holiday weekend. However, they did not take our name down and we continued to wait; had to flag another waitress down who then helped us to a table shortly after. We then sat without so much as water or anyone stopping by our table to let us know they would be by soon to take our drink order. It seemed unclear if the staff even knew what tables were assigned to them. Once we were able to flag the waitress, Harmony, down, she was kind enough to take our order and adopt our table even though she was not our assigned waitress (seemingly). The waitress who was then supposed to be ours came by 15-20 minutes later and we let her know we already had been helped. Harmony was very attentive, doing everything in her power to get our alcoholic beverages and food to our table faster, letting us know she checked on the kitchen several times. I have no problem with food being slower, especially on a holiday weekend. However, what really turned me off to the experience is the response of who seemed to be the owner/manager of the place. She was walking around saying hi to several tables multiple times and checked on our table at the very end. When I brought up our frustrations, she dismissed my concerns and nonchalantly said "oh it's the holiday weekend" as the reason for our sub-optimal service. This is certainly a cop out, considering we saw 3 tables near us get seated and served before we even ordered. One waitress even commented "Oh they put y'all in the dark, forgotten corner" and laughed. Even when presented an out as I asked the owner if they were understaffed as that could be a reasonable explanation, she said no. All in all, it is a shame the way this place is being run and the food is truly something special. Hopefully the owner sees this review and takes it under advisement.

Absolutely amazing--from the food to the service!…read more We had several challenges trying to order online for delivery, but the manager, Carl, went so far above and beyond that I was impressed before I had even tasted the food. He personally showed up at our doorstep, made sure we had our dinner, and helped resolve all of the electronic ordering issues. That level of customer service is incredibly rare. Carl is amazing! And then we tasted the food--and somehow it matched the service. The entrée was fabulous. The combination of the protein, cheese, and pasta was delicious, but then came the bread and butter. Oh my goodness, the bread and butter! I normally avoid bread and eat very few carbs, but I ate every bit of it. The bread was wonderful, and the butter took it to another level. Everything was delicious, and nothing was left behind. Exceptional food paired with truly exceptional service. Thank you, Carl, for turning what could have been a frustrating ordering experience into such a wonderful evening. We will absolutely be back!

The whole thing was a big disappointment. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were obviously leftover. They were hard and dry. After tasting a meatball, I didnt eat them. The meat sauce was ok, but flooded the dish and smothered the pasta. My wife's pasta dish was just OK. Actually, the server pointed out a guy in the kitchen and said he was a Michelin rated chef...sorry, but no way. Doing a search, I read that there are no Michelin rated chefs in Hot Springs. I ordered an expensive glass of red wine and it was served in a small white wine glass. Anyway, I'm not going to waste my time bashing J&S. I think I've made myself clear. It was a total disappointment and a waste of $120.00. Obviously, we wont be going back.
