My wife and I have been to Jams 3 times before, with the food always being excellent. On Aug 8, 2014, we decided to go there again, but this time had to bring our 8 month old, for lack of a babysitter. We went at 5pm to beat the rush since we had a child. The hostess greeted us with a frown and I don't think she smiled the entire time we were there. She looked at us as if to ask (via body language) why are you bringing that baby in here?

She seated us. We then had a male waiter who was "cold" toward us. We got the impression that we were not wanted, perhaps because of having a child with us. Our little-one behaved well for the most part. He fussed a few times and we calmed him right away, even taking him outside once, so as not to disturb others.

My wife got the meatloaf and I a hamburger. We had had these dishes before and they, in the past were delicious. Tonight however, neither was as good as they had been in the past. The hamburger was okay and my wife could not eat the meatloaf because it was very greasy. Nothing like in the past.

My wife, being the nice person that she is, did not complain, she just chose not to eat all the food. She set her plate aside when she was done. She should have asked for a different dish or a refund, but did not. The waiter seemed surprised and almost offended that she did not want her leftovers boxed up.

I found the hostess and other waitresses looking at our table with scowls on their faces. I observed the hostess as she watched several "handicapped" patrons struggle to get through the front door and she never lifted a finger to help. One older gentleman had a prosthetic leg and a cane and had difficulty with balance and navigating through the door. The hostess just watched and then showed him to his table without ever making eye contact with the gentleman, or speaking to him for that matter.

Perhaps Jams is not used to having children in their restaurant. I could agree this would be bothersome if we had a constantly misbehaving or crying child, but we did not.

We frequently go to Lazlos restaurant with our 5yr, 3yr and 8 month old together as a family. The food there is of similar quality/price and we always feel welcome there as a family.

This is the first time we have ever brought a child to Jams and it will be the last time we go to Jams. Children usually go to restaurants their parents went to. Although it may be far off, Jams will have lost some future patrons as well.
