   This has been our Christmas tradition for the past handful of years. The food and atmosphere are always amazing. Steve was our server last night and he was awesome.

   I didn’t like watching the drama amongst the waiter and the maître D upstairs it distracted very much from our dinner. Also didn’t like the fact that the dessert chef would be gone before we got to dinner so we had to decide what we wanted for dessert prior to even getting our food. If our reservations were at nine, the restaurants open till 11 I should’ve had the option of having the dessert person there instead of being told I needed to pick something before they left

   Delicious meal! Great service! First table location was next to a rehearsal dinner. Way too loud, but we were moved and had a wonderful dinner.

   We weren’t seated until 30 minutes after our reservation which put us behind schedule. And our food lacked seasoning.

   Here’s a draft of your review: I’ve been a longtime customer of Jimmy Kelly’s and have enjoyed many great meals here over the years, but unfortunately, this last visit was disappointing. I made a reservation for 4:00 on their website, but upon arrival, I was told the restaurant didn’t open until 4:30. It’s confusing why they would allow reservations for a time they weren’t open. The hostesses seemed disorganized and simply pointed me toward my table instead of walking me there, so I decided to sit at the bar instead. The bartender, to their credit, was excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations this time; it was mediocre at best. The ambiance, usually a highlight of Jimmy Kelly’s, was also lacking. They were in the middle of renovations, which meant I had to navigate around tools and workers just to enter. During my meal, I could hear construction noises like pounding, which really detracted from the experience. This visit fell short in so many ways, and after many years of dining here, it’s hard to say, but this may be my last visit.

   Excellent place that eat. So much history in the building. Food was outstanding and server attentive. We went to bar first and the bartender was fabulous! Such an excellent personality!!

   Waited an extra 30 minutes after our reservation for our table. Another 20 just to get menus. Another 15 to get our drinks. All the tables were smushed together so it was noisy. The steak wasn’t cooked all the way. The waiter took forever to check on us throughout the night.

    They are clearly over booked and understaffed for the holiday period. Bar tender did not know how to make a Manhattan. 2 drinks - $21 each. Ordered the bone in filet and it was flavorless. The waiter killed himself to support us, but the food, drinks, and atmosphere we're just not worth a $400 evening.
