    We really enjoyed our dinner at the Joseph Ambler Inn. The butternut squash soup and shrimp cocktail appetizers were absolutely delicious. Not to be out done by the scallops and Chilean Seabass entrées which were just out of this world. The butter cake, flan and chocolate ice cream were a perfect ending to an absolutely "top-notch" dinner – kudos to the chef! What really made our dinner fun and even more enjoyable was our awesome server Tina. She had a smile that would light up a room and she kept us entertained all evening long with her phenomenal sense of humor. Thank you for an awesome evening Tina !!!

    We were celebrating a birthday and we were seated in a small private room, which was perfect for our party. Our waitress Tina was awesome. She gave great recommendations and was very attentive. Her assistant Finn also did a great job.

    The restaurant had no real feeling as an INN. It was ultimately a bunch of square tables and chairs, people talking so damn loudly I couldn’t hear myself talk to my wife. The food was standard fair, wine selection was weak and the service was ok. Not a very fancy place for a $200 bill (with tip). No real negative experience but it’s probably ok for folks who live in the local area. I’ve been on a journey to eat at old INNs - looking for those weird old rooms that are a hodge podge with fireplaces and old carpets - this wasn’t one of them. Oh well!

    Always a wonderful meal at JAI…especially at the holidays! Our service was outstanding since we had Sean once again. He is so friendly, kind and efficient. The champagne chicken is my go-to dish and never fails to please! Looking forward to my next visit already!
