We reserved a regular table but when we checked in we were brought to a hi- top in the bar where it was outrageously noisy ( not your description of “ energetic”). I told the hostess that sitting at a high top gives me leg cramps- but she refused to give us a different table. There was also a problem with the sun- one of our guests can’t sit in the sun, and even though I saw roller shades in the bar area, the hostess insisted that either there were no blinds in the restaurant area, or they couldn’t be pulled down to protect a guest from the sun. This lack of CARE for their dinner guests needs was unbelievably callous. The waitress was very nice, pleasant, and helpful, but even she noticed that two people at a nearby table, who were obviously drunk, were screaming at the top of their lungs to their friend ( who had a normal volume voice and was not drunk)- and this was physically painful to listen to. The food was good, if expensive, but the entire experience was ruined from the beginning to their friend end due to the hi- top, the sun, and the noise- not an enjoyable leisurely dinner ( like we had here before). Very disappointing.

Food was very good. It was disappointing that reservations for two seem to be seated at tables that are an afterthought. While 90% of the patio is kept comfortable with patio heaters, the two tables reserved for couples did not have options for heating and the staff would not accommodate requests to move heaters from empty tables. Unfortunate experience given that the food was terrific. Hard to beat the ocean views, as well.

JRDN is the perfect spot for all meals! Located on the beach, it has a gorgeous ocean view without the awful oceanfront parking nightmare other restaurants have (as it has free valet for the restaurant!) The food is consistently amazing, and they have great warm options for wintertime and the best sushi and bowls for summertime. This spot is close to my work so is my go-to lunch meeting spot. It never gets too loud or rowdy and always has just that touch of luxe feel without being egregiously expensive. 10-out-of-10 every time!

Having reasonable valet parking in busy beach area helps. Had good shareable appetizer, very good burger but too salty. Wife had excellent steak salad.

Food is fabulous. We actually went two nights in a row. Just a little pricey and both nights, they ran out of the crusted ahi.

The Easter Menu was Stupid!! A Tomahawk dish for a $150.00!?! That’s Pure GREED!! It’s unprofessional!! There should have been PRACTICAL CHOICES. Results is that it wasn’t Busy for Easter Brunch!! That’s a Bad-sign!! Live Music would have been a good idea!!
