    Mothers Day! Food not even warm on buffet. Service was slow. I felt cheated with the money I paid.

    First time trying JB's for four of us. We had the tuna nachos and mussels for apps. They were excellent. The cocktails were just so-so. I wasn't sure there was vodka in my vodka tonic. Others mentioned the same. Our server, Casey was wonderful. She was knowledgable, efficient and friendly. Unfortunately, the entrees didn't live up to the rating of the apps. The swordfish special was tough and the tuna poke was just ok. We had an Oreo ice cream pie for dessert and that was good-warm and tasty. I might just try a hamburger and apps next time.

    Enjoyed the Brunch menu! Our waiter Kaiden was outstanding, very professional and attentive! Sorry they weren’t serving outside, a little too cold/windy, but still a beautiful view of the water! Will definitely be back!

    Sometimes the restaurant associated with a hotel is subpar… this is not the case here. Our server was very pleasant and professional; food was timely, food quality was very good, environment is nice-beautiful views right on the water- decor could use a refresh. We’ll go back!

    We did enjoy our meal at JB'S and enjoyed our waitress. However, we felt it was overpriced for what we received. The price seems to have gone up significantly since we were there last.

    I had the blackened cod. I was not sure I would like the coconut rice so they place the cod on a bed of quinoa and sautéed veggies. Appealing looking and delicious. Sam was our server and he was great too, very personable. My husband had the fish tacos which he enjoyed as well.

    I have been to JB's on numerous occasions. It is, for me, a local Jamestown spot, and It has always been a good pick. Food is consistently good, portions, large and wait staff friendly. I would have rated this last visit all fives across the board. But despite requesting standard (not hi-top seating) we were placed at a high top table in the bar area. This location was decidedly noisier than at other times when I have sat in the dining room or off to the side of the bar. It was explained that diningroom seating was not available because a private party would be using the room. However, If I had known this in advance, we would have chosen a different restaurant. I will return to JB's in the future, but perhaps make reservations by phone and ask more questions. Unfortunately my out of town family members will not all be together again for some time, so the chance of us returning as the same party is not likely.

    My Salmon was too well done and not warm enough. I wish our server asked me how I wanted it cooked. Otherwise, all was excellent & we will return.
