“What a fantastic dining experience! We were so well taken care of, and the food was amazeballs! Definitely top of my list as my new favorite seafood restaurant. Elijah, the bartender was awesome and Katie went out of the way to make sure we had a lovely time. What an evening… I highly recommend this place.“

“Flavors that never get old. Tasty on every bite!“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“The fish bar is in a great location the bartender Rose makes amazing drinks she friendly & attentive. She knows you by name. The food was great atmosphere is relaxed all the staff treats you like family. Highly recommend!“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“For starters our server, Evan was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening with. The wine selection was really awesome. Our drinks were good and our food was even better. I had the love letters. He had the spicy pizza he started with the carpaccio and ended with a tiramisu and lemon cello. I highly recommend this place. It really was a wonderful evening and we know good food.“

“Good prices, great food and fantastic staff.“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“I have had trouble eating lately. This is the first time I have felt hunger in quite awhile. This microbowl and Lion’s Mane Smoothie is exactly what I needed ! Many thanks to the wonderful staff who are always friendly 🙏“

“Maxine was our server, and she was so attentive while giving us amazing recommendations from the menu. Everything we ordered was incredible! We started with the Asian wings and the Hamachi Crudo, and both were absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we had the skirt steak and the smash burger. And let me just say... the pickle aioli was FIRE! OMG! I can't believe I've never had pickle aioli before, especially since I'm obsessed with pickles. It was SO good! To top it all off, they had a nostalgic McDonald's chocolate dipped ice cream cone for dessert. I had to have it! The vanilla ice cream was softer than the McD's version but overall delicious. They packaged it to go for us so we could walk around the beach while eating it, which was honestly the perfect way to end our dinner. We'll definitely be back!“

“The Kettle is my go-to when friends or family arrive on a red-eye or when I just want a relaxing breakfast w/o dishes. Consistent food, comfortable booths, no nonsense, and exactly the kind of place that won’t irritate you. “Locally world famous” sounds ambitious, but in this case, yup.“

“Recently hosted a small post wedding dinner in the private dining room at TSH and could not say more amazing things about the service recieved! JoLise was incredible at making the vision come to life and was so communicative along the way, offering such helpful suggestions to make the day extra special. The service was top notch throughout the night & everyone could not stop raving about how delicious the food was!! Will definitely be returning as a patron & could not recommend enough for another private event!“

“It’s brand new and clean. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. It’s a very comfortable environment with electrical outlets and USB ports for your electronic devices. And the food! Best turkey burger I’ve had in the South Bay and those brussels sprouts are to die for. Go! Quickly! 😬❤️😬“

“Beautiful views of the golf course , with a lovely interior plus enjoyable food makes this a great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

While staying at Westdrift, I really enjoyed my experiences at Jute.

Service was friendly and attentive.

Food hit the spot:

Turkey Club: was a large toasted cheesy sandwich. And overall had nice ingredients inside of it. Plenty of fries came with the order.

Jute Burger: a large half pounder. For five dollars extra, I ordered bacon and it came with five slices of crispy pork. The ingredients inside were fresh and filling.

Korean BBQ Tacos - generously filled with meat and toppings. Serrano peppers on side made it absolute delicious.

Salmon Crudo - fresh light fish, popping with flavor. Good starter with a nice contrast of crispy chips.

Overall, a good to great hotel restaurant. With so many great restaurants in the area to choose from, Jute should not be overlooked.“

“The Mother's Day brunch was amazing! Lupe and the entire team provided excellent service which made the day extra special for my wife and for all of the Moms dining at the restaurant. It was our first time eating here and we will definitely be back.“
