There was some construction since the last time I went so it seemed a bit crowded. The food tasted great, just a bit higher than what we were expecting.

It was our anniversary and we had eaten here before and had a wonderful experience. BUT they are under construction (not mentioned anywhere) and the whole place is chaos. They didn’t know who our wait staff member was, we were at a little table right in the middle of the “runway.” Make sure they’re done with their building project before going. Especially if it’s for a romantic occasion. I guess there’s always next year. 🙄

Jams is in a temporary location while their original location is under construction. The temporary location is very loud. Although there seemed to be a lot of staff, everyone looked flustered and service took awhile for drinks, ordering and especially to get our food. We had a view of the kitchen. Food sat over ten minutes waiting to get to tables. Our server was great, only good part of the night.

At start of meal, the noise level was very low....very nice. But as the place filled up it was almost impossible to carry on a conversation. Especially since we were sitting next to a party of eight that were specially loud. THe food came very fast, although we did get there before a rush. IT was excellent. The bathrooms were a bit of a disappointment with lacking toilet paper and some soap. The exit was very fast with paying and getting to go boxes. Would definitely come back....but again at a low peak time.

At first, I was skeptical because they recently changed buildings, but was pleasantly surprised to find a great environment. The drinks and food are a little pricier, but so worth it! We went the six of us and everyone loved their meals. The service was great as always highly recommend.
