I can only give them three stars because it's my first time and I only ordered a mozzarella pizza. The pizza was pretty good was not the best pizza ever but it had a very fresh taste and that taste was that of authentic pizza it tasted like it had proper tomatoes and mozzarella the crust was excellent all I needed was some garlic butter spread across it and it would have been some of the best crust ever had!The price was very fair and competitive with other Pizza spots it was better than some and up to par with others yes I will recommend it if you are in the area but would I drive from out of town to try it, to be truthful I'm a foodie so yes I would but after trying it would I come back? Well to answer my own question, as I said if I was in the area, I would buy it again.Stay tuned as I review other menu items fromJ Restaurant & Bar.UPDATE!: They are shutting down soon but Hopefully they will reopen at a new location. You only have a few months to try them out as of NOW!_ #FoodiesMobb #FoodPicsKing

A great dining experience, as always! We've eaten at J a half dozen or so times over the years. J is consistently excellent. Whether you're going “classic” with Filet Mignon or being more adventurous with Veal Milanese, you won't be disappointed! My veal was perfectly done, tender, hot, yet crunchy with a wonderfully light arugula side. My partner's Haddock was excellent with perfectly roasted potato wedges. The ambience was lively, busy and a little noisy on this particular evening, Service was efficient and professional. A very nice way to start our evening!

Had a very special dinner before a show in February. Appetizers were great. Good selection of Italian wines. Main course was prepared exactly as described. And exceeded expectations.

Service was good, staff attentive. Food was yummy. Very quiet but important to note that we were there early on a Saturday, got there around 4:30 post theater matinee. I'm sure it was livelier later on...

Delightful! We went here for a Valentines Day dinner and were not disappointed. Great drinks, delicious food, lovely ambiance. All around pleasant experience and would absolutely recommend.

Chicken Riggies and chocolate mousse never disappoint. We appreciated the waitress's willingness to serve us outdoors in a heated gazebo. It was toasty and the service was excellent as was the food as usual.

Our dining experience was great. Bruschetta was the best ever! Kale salad and pecan salad were both light and delicious. Chicken Francais, mashed potatoes with asparagus was fantastic. Crème Brûlée and chocolate mousse were to die for. Frances, our server, was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Sorry to hear this restaurant is closing. Would love it Jay opened another restaurant.

Stop in for dinner on a Wednesday night. The service at the bar was great and friendly. My food came out quick and was very good. Got the gyro and kale salad. I would absolutely come back again.

My nephew, loves the pizza. However I'm not too fond of the dough. I guess it's a personal preference.The staff were nice and they carried the pizzas to the car for me.

Waitress was great. She not only remembered us from our previous visit a couple of weeks ago but even the table we'd sat at. Very friendly and accommodating, despite having to serve us outdoors in a gazebo in winter.
