“Only good thing about this place is the view. Went last night to celebrate a birthday and I spent more time waiting for my beer than being able to sit down and enjoy my time. 10+ minute wait for a beer with only 5 People around the bar is pretty ridiculous. Needless to say I was pretty upset by the end of the night.“

“Wonderful food & atmosphere! 100% recommend💖“

“Great place! Have gone there for years and always treated great!“

“Food is great tastes just like azteca I'm almost positive that it is Azteca just with a different name in order to get customers to come in thinking it's a different establishment. Service is always great food is always great only two things that are a little bit disappointing, 1, the prices they advertise online have still not been updated bc when you go in everything is more expensive than the online price
2, the margaritas are alot weaker than they used to be.“

“I hosted a surprise party here on 10/4/25 and after booking and a miscommunication happening the manager, Calvin was very helpful and took the initiative to prepare the brunch area for me and a group of 30 guest at the last minute. From the bar service with the bartender to our server, Sophia who was just the sweetest and most patient waitress I have ever experienced in such a large group setting everything made this experience a 10 out of 10. Sophia, you rocked it girl! I appreciate you taking on the whole party and giving us all of your time and attention. Thank you J Bar for helping me to celebrate a special birthday and giving us top tier quality service from start to finish! WE WILL BE RETURNING! P.S: Order the Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Fries and it was AMAZING!!!!!“

“My husband and I have eaten here three times, and everything is perfection! Each meal is high-quality and delicious. The bread they serve is like none other I’ve had, so now I’m craving it all the time. My daughter-in-law and I consider ourselves experts on what a Cosmo drink should taste like, and we both rated the cosmos here as the best ones we’ve had. The atmosphere is inviting, beautiful and happy, just like the owner who’s there every time we show up. This place is now on our rotation of favorite restaurants.“

“Our Supper Club chose to dine here last Saturday, we had a group of 10. We had drinks and then appetizers, the mint chocolate chip martini and the espresso martini both were amazing! We all bought appetizers to share and they were all great. Every one of us loved our entrée. I had the New York strip, which was fantastic and my husband had a fillet and he said it was fantastic too. We both eat our steaks, medium rare, and they were cooked perfect. After dinner, we did split a piece of heath bar cheesecake and it definitely lives up to the hype! I think all of our favorite part of the atmosphere was the piano player! He was so fun and played great sing a long songs. Our group had a lot of fun singing along with him and dancing in our chairs! Our server/Alise did a stellar job of taking our orders, a timely delivery of appetizers and drinks. But most importantly, our food was all delivered within a few minutes of each other, so nobody was sitting and waiting for their food. Claudia did a great job on making sure everybody had what they needed. Everything was prepared the way we wanted it and the final touch of boxing our leftovers for us, was just the chefs kiss on top of a great evening. We will definitely be coming back.“
