My fiance and I were celebrating a birthday and Jam is an obvious choice for us to have a really special experience. The service is always amazing and the choice of food is great. We had 3 starters to share, a main dish each and a dessert to share, and of course a great bottle of wine to accompany it all. The waiter was very attentive and the overall ambiance was lovely. Thank you!

Whilst our meals were delicious there was 5 of us dining and 2 of us wanted to have the share menu unfortunately this wasn’t possible unless all of us had it. As there were 5 of us we would have had to order extra anyway so I fail to see why 2 of us couldn’t have it whilst the others ordered off the menu. In saying that all our meals were delicious.

Went there recently for our wedding anniversary . We decided to go with the set menu for two people at $80 pp. We found the food and service excellent . Calamari was the star favorite though .We left there completely full and satisfied and a doggo bag as well there was that much food. We will defiantly be returning.
