i had a horrorable experience. started off pretty good. place looks great. try to sits us in the middle of the isle were very one is walking by on both sides, we declined. then sat us near the fire place, good spot. waitress came to take drink order, drinks were o.k., like drinking at TGIFRIDAY. water down. ordered the NY strip med rare , it came to my table cold!!! mash potatoes were cold . waitress came over to take back the plate, returned with same plate with my steak over cooked and dry!!!!! i think they put it the microwave, we asked if she did. her reply was no?!?!!? i ask her to take it back, and make me a new steak med rare. she sent the manager over to speak to us. manager said she was sorry for the error and was getting me a new steak. offer my wife and i free dessert, o.k. great. i love dessert. now they bring me the second steak, guess what. now the steak is well done!!! i guess the jerk in the kitchen does not now what med rare is!!!!! or maybe he over cooked the steak on purpose!!!! now i am really mad!!!! my wife and i tell the waitress to take back the steak. i am done. now it gets better!!! the waitress bring my check over and tells me they are sorry. were is the dessert the manager told us she was getting us!?!?!?!??!?! we ask for the dessert and the waitress was surprised!?!?!!??? what the hell!!! you screwed up my meal twice and no dessert. i guess they are not people of their word!!!! anyway i would not recommend going their. i have eaten at the diner they also own several times(better). the food at j tavern is glorified diner food . over priced and not quality. my wife and i are foodies, we eat out 3 to 4 times a week. so i know what i am talking about. as we are leaving the 2 owner ( same guys who own the diner) tell my wife we are the first to complain. i donot think so, when we first sat down. the group sitting next to us, were also not happy with their meal. and told the waitress. i should have listened to thier complaints ,got up and walked out. very unhappy with the experience!!! poor quailty food and over priced!! had a better steak at longhorn steak!!! should be a shame of...

dinner review time ..Very poor experience at this establishment my wife and I both ordered prime rib , when the waitress served our entree ..she basically put it down and ran away knowing to well and embarrassed that it looked as bad as it tasted and no doubt there would be an issue. Upon ordering we both specifed medium rare ..mine was well done and tough ..my wife’s prime rib was basically shoe leather and could not even cut . After a few minutes the waitress finally mustered up the courage to ask us how our dinner was ..we let her know our discontent, she knew obliged and agreed to bring another one out.. this time, it was all fat and tasteless finally the Mgr offered me sliced steak to replace it I agreed however the plate came out on a bed of rice and beans with 5 slices of steak tender but tasteless ..sorry two wrongs don’t make it right.. they did however offer a free desert and coffee to try and compensate for the terrible meal ..just didn’t work but have to say the server and Mgr were trying there best to accommodate us they knew our dissatisfaction but never the less who ever they have cooking the food that night needs to find a new carreer or at the least be put back on dish washing duty where he and customers would be safe ..hopefully bill was $78 plus tip and never...

ASK WHAT IS IN THE BUTTER! This is a warning to all who are allergic to seafood/shellfish! Today when my family and I decided to go to the J. Towne Tavern and the bread came out with the butter and the butter looked a little strange. So I asked, the waitress, when she finally came around what was in it. She told us that it was butter with lobster and garnishings. I said ok thank you and she left. I myself am not allergic to seafood or shellfish but for the people who are, I'd just figure I'd let you know because I don't think want you to go to the hospital and I don't think anyone will tell you unless you ask.

Also, the service is extremely slow. When my family went at 4pm, we were one of a few people in the restaurant for dinner minus all the people watching a football game at the bar.

My sister and grandma order French Onion Soup and the bread was hard on the inside. It then took over an hour to get our dinner. I had order pasta and the kitchen forgot to make it so we waited even longer for that. When the pasta came out it turned out it was way over cooked. It was like mush in your mouth.

In general, the restaurant is very claustrophobic. Service is slow and information about specialty butter with a common allergan in it was not provided. Very...
