Incredible service from start to finish. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, so our seating was upgraded when we arrived without us even asking. We were also offered complimentary champagne by our waiter, who was extremely knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. Everything we had tasted delicious and the espresso martini was spot on. Possibly the best dining experience I've ever had.

Overall, JBJ's was fantastic! We loved the music/band and the whole vibe! We first visited in the early afternoon and were able to snag a seat at the bar to watch the band and have a couple of drinks. Service was excellent! Walking around and looking at all the Bon Jovi memorabilia and art was fun! We returned later to have dinner at the 4th-floor restaurant (we had made reservations). The mood is very different in the restaurant, with a slower pace and jazzy music. We had a table by the window with awesome views! Service was a little slow, but they were all friendly and kept checking in with us. The food was okay, not awesome, not bad. We had a great time visiting and will definitely return next time we are in Nashville!
