My wife and I went with our friends to JT’s Urban Italian for New Year's Eve, and it was a total flop that ruined our night. It all started when I was served a water glass with lipstick all over the rim, setting a disgusting tone from the get-go. The prices were way too expensive for what we got, and the service was abysmal—we waited over two hours for our mains after an awful appetizer course of greasy banana peppers and brie. When the mains finally arrived, our bolognese was insanely salty, like it had been doused in brine.

Worst of all, a waiter spilled a full beer all over my wife, ruining her jacket, and the staff barely mumbled an apology. Avoid this place for any holiday!

First time going to JT's was very excited to try something new. All the dishes had a little twist which left me excited to try my meal. We sat in the covered patio which was a little chilly even though there was a heater because it was about 10° out which is to be expected. Our server Steve was great. Willing to customize anything to our liking. The food was in perfect portions. Many of my friends took some home but I ate every laugh bite. They brought bread, Italian and Olive out before our meal which was delicious.

Came here with my now boyfriend and had an amazing experience with our waitress Lindsey. Very attentive and friendly. I loved the whole atmosphere of the place and would’ve dressed nicer if I knew the vibe lol. Great experience and will definitely come again.

It's a stylish place with very good service.
Music is not too loud, but after 6 pm on Saturday it's a bit too noisy due to the crowd.
You can definitely come here for a romantic date.

Steak Tartare
Hand-chopped beef, capers, shallots and sweet marmalade of red onion created an interesting mixture of flavors, but it was too sweet. Methinks that some chopped anchovy could make the dish even better by adding some salty notes, but even as it is, it’s very impressive steak tartare.

Grilled Octopus
Very good and tender octopus perfectly paired with fregula and shaved fennel. Although it was a bit too salty for my taste, but it was really good overall.

Filet Mignon
Perfect medium-rare doneness - very juicy and tender steak. The mild bitter flavor from broccoli rabe paired with beef and mashed potatoes (also it was a bit too salty for my taste, we even asked to replace it).

Cream Brule
One of the best cream brules I tried in last couple of years - perfect crust and texture, a nice “degree” of sweetness with very subtle notes of orange. Strawberry added fruit freshness and pleasant sour notes.

Conclusion: I really liked the place!

We enjoyed our meal quite a bit, especially the black spaghetti and beef tartare. Friendly, attentive service.

Food is great ... But sometimes inconsistent. Service and atmosphere are great.

Biggest gripe without fail is that every time I go there I am given a dirty plate or silverware and constantly send stuff back. Recently we hosted an affair upstairs and I discretely needed to hand the server a stack of appetizer plates that clearly were not washed.

Went for Brunch on a Saturday morning. Fairly quiet, but waitress was on point and checked in when needed, friendly and helpful. Eggs Benedict, pancakes, and BLT all great. BLT had more B than any sandwich I've had before!

Second time here. Overall, the food is above average. I had the bolognese and it was very good aside from it being a bit too salty. Sat near the front and they had the front doors up. Great people watching. Nice atmosphere. I'll be back.

We enjoy this place. The steak tartare was lacking a bit but the pizza is generally SPOT ON for Neapolitan style. We love the stuffed banana peppers. Quick and friendly service every time.
