We were excited to eat at J22, however our experience was less than expected. We arrived on the early side to assure ourselves good service and a full menu. We were met by our server/bartender/maitre’d and things went south from there. He was a bit like a drill Sargent , polite but tough; We never felt the warmth of the server or the chef who was cooking behind the bar in the open kitchen. Our sever seemed not to listen to any of our requests....ordered two orders of 1/2 dozen oysters and one order of 1/2 dozen littlenecks and didn’t receive all the oyster that were ordered, albeit, they were delicious. Asked about the specials for a second time as the first time the drill sergeant fired them off too quickly for us to digest. Each time he barked out one of the specials, he asked “ did you get it “...this went on for the entire rendition of the specials and food items that were not available on the menu at the 5:30 hour....Next I asked about the clam chowder as I overheard him tell a customer something about the chowder being a clear broth...Our drill sergeant explained to me that it was indeed a clear broth and I told him “no thanks”...well, shortly thereafter it arrived in front of me. Next my wife indicated that she didn’t want the extra calories and asked that her Cod some without the mashed potatoes and please add extra vegetables. He said he would accommodate her...the meal came with mashed potatoes and a very small portion of vegetables. I ordered blackened fish tacos and the tortillas were so flimsy that you couldn’t pick the taco up or cut it. The tortillas just fell apart and looked like dead soldiers on my plate...Not once did the drill sergeant ask if everything was alright. The wine list was on a chalk board and indicated the price of wine by the glass. Our drill sergeant Indicated , when asked , that the bottle price could be determined by multiplying the the price of a glass by 4 and then subtracting around 4 or 5 dollars...Wow...he wanted me to do his job...Bottom line, the restaurant could be outstanding but it lacked real service and everyone who worked there looked unhappy like it was a chore that I was there ...Hope things straighten out for them.
