    Outstanding meal at Jump. It was 'Home Game Special" night and the main course was totally special. An amazing veal schnitzel chop with all the trimmings. And for starters a brilliant lobster salad with delicious pear tatin to finish. Excellent fun service from Marketa. Such a well run restaurant with great staff, a wonderful chef team and reasonable prices for such impressive food. Who could ask for more !!!

    Service wasn’t that great - we had to flag server down and still they didn’t attend to us right away. And there were many flies flying around the table which was very strange. Otherwise food was good.

    The salmon was exquisite!! I had it with jasmine rice, roasted butternut squash and brussel sprouts. I opted out of the sauce because I don’t usually have sauce. I prefer the true flavour of the food. The salmon (medium rare, just cooked) was absolutely delicious. My server was very friendly with a positive vibe. Highly recommend!

    The soup arrived at the table lukewarm, it was not cold, but it was not hot either. Otherwise all is good. Nice place. Wish the menu has some brunch items though, we were there at 11 am.
