Jobos — Restaurant in Tupelo

Sure, here is an updated version of the review with the addition of comments about the evening drinks:

A Culinary Delight with a Touch of Enchantment

From the moment I stepped through the doors of this charming restaurant, I was enveloped in an enchanting atmosphere that promised a culinary adventure. The warm glow of the lights, the gentle murmur of conversations, and the tantalizing aromas wafting from the kitchen created a symphony of senses that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

While I didn't have a furry companion in tow, I noticed a designated outdoor area for dogs. While the intention was commendable, I couldn't help but notice the presence of spiders, which slightly detracted from the charm of the space. However, once I stepped inside, any lingering concerns were quickly forgotten.

The indoor ambiance was nothing short of captivating. The décor was tastefully curated, creating a blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort. The soft chatter of fellow diners mingled with the gentle clinking of silverware against plates, forming a harmonious soundtrack that complemented the delectable feast that lay ahead.

My culinary journey began with the French toast, a true masterpiece that danced across my taste buds. The perfectly toasted bread was generously coated with a sweet, custardy batter that was infused with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, leaving me craving more.

The service was equally exceptional. Katelyn, the morning server, exuded an aura of patience and kindness that instantly put me at ease. Her attentiveness and genuine warmth made me feel like a valued guest, not just another customer. Destiny, the evening server, was equally impressive. Despite being relatively new, she handled every request with grace and professionalism, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect.

And let me not forget the drinks. The evening cocktails were an absolute delight. Just one sip of their signature margaritas was enough to transport me to a state of pure bliss. The expertly crafted concoction was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and refreshingly invigorating. It was the perfect way to set the mood for the evening's culinary adventure.

While some dishes on the menu might not appeal to every palate, the items that aligned with my preferences were sure to delight. The freshness of the ingredients, the skillful preparation, and the creative combinations of flavors were evident in every bite.

Overall, this restaurant offered a delightful dining experience that exceeded my expectations. The enchanting atmosphere, the delectable cuisine, the exceptional service, and the amazing evening drinks created a memorable culinary adventure that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a taste of culinary excellence. Thank you for the warm hospitality and the opportunity to savor these...

Sat at the bar around 7pm Easter sunday in Jobos at Hotel Tupelo. I requested a beer, Patrick politely served me with a cold beer, which I thanked him for like one does after receiving a service from another. Keeping it classy and professional so far. I didn't see the cliff ledge ahead and unfortunately for me, I made the honest mistake of leaving an item behind on the bar. Commence the ignorance, complete disregard or semblance of concern for a patrons lost property, yelling at the patron trying to locate said lost property, then threatening the patron trying to locate his property with trespass and potential violence by men with guns, who would force me out by any violent means necessary. Just what power tripping Deb the 'supervisor' was hoping would happen to me. Violence against me from anyone dumb enough to believe her nonsense of trespassing customers seeking lost/potentially stolen medication. Which Jobos would be in violation of the law if found and not returned or an attempt to return the property was not made. It was confirmed to me by the only honest person there that my lost item was found and one of the staff members had it, but she did not identify who the thief currently working there in possession of my property was. I know who has my property and so do the gracious and honest staff at Jobos, yet they refuse to give me my property and ole Deb demands I prove to her the employees she's laughably supervising are liars and apparently have sticky fingers for my property. I am seeking the bare minimum of an attempt to locate my property by the employees of Jobos, and immediately returned to me. I know all of these staff members, who I respected and enjoyed working with previously, and I do not understand why they treated me horribly like they chose to do. I remained calm while being yelled at and threatened with police, because I was trying to find a lost item. There was no reason to escalate a simple matter into a threat of police, like one Jobos employee specifically thought was a good...

The atmosphere is nice. Very trendy decor. Our server was pleasant. And that's where it ends. I witnessed a multitude of health code violations. I couldn't tell if the people present worked there or were guests because they were all eating and drinking in the dining area. Even the Manager was eating plates of food in the dining area in the corner of the bar where every server had their drinks and food. The open kitchen is ideal but if the cooks are also going to eat on the cook line and not wear hair nets, then what's the point? At one point, an employee was just hanging out on the cook line leaning over it...long hair and all, jamming out with his ear pods. The servers ate their own food in the presence of guests, then opened the swing doors with their bare hands, touched everything, and then placed bare straws in the drinks that they brought to the table. If you can get past the lack of personal hygiene and poor food safety efforts, then your food is mediocre and made you wonder what the actual theme of the menu is. Pick a theme and stick with it. It's all over the place. Over salted and way too heavy with the pepper. I would expect more from what is considered a upscale restaurant for the price. Y'all can do better! Go across the street to the Grill or Nautical Whimsy. Take notes on how's it...
