For just 18$ you can get a plate of 4 tortellini. They should have photos of the plates with a photo of a tablespoon next to it for size reference. The food wasn’t even good. The service wasn’t good. If you’re going to charge $4.50 per tortellini it should taste like it deserves that price.

Everyone was so friendly and kind. Every dish was excellent! Every bite was on point and so 'ono! Our server Nicole was so helpful, friendly, and pleasant. She went above and beyond to explain the dishes and give her recommendations and personal opinions. She is a gem and such an asset!! Will return again and again!

We had a wonderful dinner and splendid evening at JO2. We enjoyed their early 3course special along with the spring roll starter. Everything was prepared brilliantly with wonderful tastes and seasonings

The food was quite pleasant but very small portions. I would highly recommend to add a side or another course. Also, watch out for the surprise charges on the receipt which are misdescribed, even when paying cash.

Wonderful food - everything was absolutely delicious. Fresh, clean, brilliant on the palate and beautiful presentation. Service was pretty good but it was unbearably hot inside the restaurant, please consider AC!!

The food was prepared expertly. Some of it sat too long before arriving at the table. Sashimi was warm and the ravioli was room temp. Long waits for ordering, to appetizers, to entrees to check. Kitchen was clearly in the weeds, and the servers took no actions to relieve the long waits.

The food was very good, generally high end. I am less a fan of curry with a strong coconut milk taste. Our service was quite delayed but the restaurant tried to make amends by comping the dessert. Overall I would recommend and try again.

I enjoy their Asian-European fusion cuisine. I find it tasteful and intriguing.
A rare little gem...

We had a 5:00 reservation. Ordered our meals at around 5:15 / our appetizers came at 6:10! Our main dish about 45 minutes after that. The server was very unfriendly / we finally finished with our desert 2 hours after arriving. Horrible horrible service and long wait! Our meals were simple and delicious / there is no way it should have taken 1-1/2 hours for egg rolls and 2 pork chops!

We enjoyed dining at JO2 ten or more times over the past 5 years, and the experience never disappoints. The food is delicious and attractively presented. The fish is cooked to perfection. Service is warm, welcoming, and professional. What a treat to dine at JO2. Yummy.

Predictably good food and lovely presentation. Not impressed with the heart of palm salad. Early bird specials offers value.
