    The drinks were phenomenal! The service was so amazing and the food was exceptional. I will make one note that my wife's nut allergy was a huge concern and I wish there was easier communication on some of the food items on the menu. We had to double check a few times to make sure we could enjoy our meal

    I went to JJ’s with two co-workers for lunch today and it was fabulous. The service was great and the food amazing. I would highly recommend putting this on your dine out list. It was great to see young people so interested in what they’re learning and the level of professionalism was noticed. Kudos to the teaching staff. All around great experience.
