Went to JST on 3/30/24 with large party. Server, Antoinette, who we learned has been there 20+ years, greeted us with a smile that lasted through her entire attentive service to our experience. With a new owner, the newly done decor would make TLC’s “Restaurant Impossible“ proud. The bar was full, but separated from the dining area, so that ambiance was alive but not overwhelming. Everyone at our table complimented the food presentation, flavor, and amount on their plates (Yes, doggy bags were requested at meals’ end.), The 2 plates of Calamari were golden in color and cooked just right. The accompanying tomato sauce was thick and hearty (“Just like Momma makes.”). We did sample each other’s plates (From their presentations, how could we not?). The meatballs were flavorful with the right hint of sausage. Spaghetti cooked to our discerning Italian Uncle’s complete approval. Salmon was generous and baked just right showing visual succulence, steaks tips were many and juicy. And the sausage cacciatore was so flavorfu, consumption only ended when the doggy bags arrived. We sampled and really enjoyed almost all of the decadent desserts including Crème Brûlée, Tiramisu, and Chocolate Lava Cake. Anthony, the manager, checked in with us more than once. He was affable without the overbearing of Artie from The Sopranos. We’ll definitely be back next week. The pricing was more than fair, and we can’t wait to try their breakfasts. Definitely recommend you go. You’ll be more than satisfied and happy and probably leave wondering “Why can’t they be open...
Read moreEvery time i seem to go here i always have to double check my order. I usually always stick to my same go to salad the steak and avocado salad because I love it and all that comes with it. It's a favorite of mines. I always get the extra steak as well i have no problem with the extra charge it's just give me what I pay for the first time. Placing my order with the lovely hostess always pleasant kind and very attentive each and every time I come often it's different times but I always get a lovely warm greeting. Once I get my order I check it and it never seems to have my extra steak it's always an error made in the kitchen they forgot it they didn't read the ticket correct or they screwed up in the back of house lovely service good food but check your order if you do to go or a...
Read moreThe steak tips were below average. Two of us had them, and both felt they were dry and overcooked. However, others at the table enjoyed their meals (haddock special, chicken marsala, shrimp scampi). The reason for the 3 stars was the service. The server kept telling us they would be back, but never did, and it was a struggle to get a second drink or even put in an appetizer in a reasonable amount of time. While I suspect it was due to the server being busy, as there were only 2 of them, she never acknowledged or apologized for not returning. Sometimes, there isn't anything that can be done, but acknowledging the delay, giving a reason, and/or giving an apology would have gone a long way, as we wouldn't have been left...
