From the moment we walked in you could tell the service staff seemed stressed and short on bandwidth. After we got seated we ordered a bottle of wine and were told it would take 20 mins to come out since it wasn't chilled - this was quite shocking given this place is a wine bar. Overall the food was good but was far overpriced for what it was. Where things took a turn for the worst was when we were finishing up our desert + wine and were told we had to leave not once but TWICE because it had been 90 mins and they needed our table for another reservation. While I understand turn around times for restaurants, this is not the approach and we will never be going back. Do better Bar Jabroni.

Enjoyed the food and the wine selection. Can get busy on a weekend night. It's a fun environment with interesting menu items. Will be coming back.

Lovely evening although parking was a hassle. They greeted us with anniversary glass on the house. So thoughtful! Every item was full of flavor. My favorite was the ricotta and wagyu!

Whoa I was surprised that the food was great. I was thinking just a wine bar with a few bar bites.

Service, atmosphere/vibe, and wine selection are top notch and felt like a cozy spot to hang with friends. The decor and music feels warm and well styled.

But the food was disappointing for the price to be honest - the cod was not really seasoned and slimy, it was randomly paired with Cajun spiced fingerling potatoes that didn't feel cohesive and sadly our focaccia came out burnt and texture felt like it was stale and reheated. The gnocco and Bolognese was the best thing we had but not something I'd go back for.

The Shrimp Louie was a tasty starter.

I would come back for the wine bar aspect and left feeling bummed about the dishes given the prices and the casual vibe - don't get me wrong, I love paying for fine dining, but this is not that and I think the hype and other reviews made me have way too high of expectations for the food.

Wonderfully delicious meal at Bar Jabroni. I've been there several times now and have never had a dish that wasn't delicious. I love trying and discovering new wines whenever I go. The service is friendly and inviting and the vibe there is excellent. Such a special local spot for a lovely night out.

The chefs menu options, creativeness, and flavor stole the show but the service and timing of dishes made for an incredible dining experience. Fun and inviting place with moody music and ambiance. Perfect for a date night or a small group. Will definitely be back and excited to see this place and its chefs creations grow.

Great shareable format that allows you try a few different dishes. Everything we've had has been delicious. Long and intricate wine list they do a good job of helping you navigate.

Fun vibe & cute date night spot! I would say pricey for what you get but I would still go back!

Wine was great and snacks were tasty, but unfortunately left with a bad taste in my mouth after our server tried to hurry us out of the bar once she realized we weren’t going to order entrees. We had a 5:30PM reservation and by 6PM had told us twice to order food because she needed the table back at 7 (despite the fact that open table says you have the table for 2 hours) and was clearing dishes and glasses —we all ordered drinks— away in a very pointed manner. I understand that servers make most of their money from tips but this felt like terrible hospitality and we rushed to leave because we felt like we were being a bother.

Food was subpar and the oysters were not cold. The bread however is definitely worth ordering!

This place is such a damn gem. Wow the food is incredible and people working here are so cool. We wandered in on my birthday and so glad we did. Order the focaccia bread, it will change your world. The music is also a vibe.

Very friendly service with a warm atmosphere. We ordered all the appetizers, plus the black cod and pork. The food was… not bad, but I'm surprised by how many people rave over it. Most of the dishes were extremely salty, and the portions are small considering the prices. The wine selection was great, but there could have been more options for beer. It was worth trying nonetheless!
