J.A.C’s Bistro

Excellent food, amazing service and a great location. What more can you ask for? Try the strip loin, perfectly seasoned and melt in your mouth tender. Save room to try the pecan pie mmmmmmm.

Nice place, upscale with decent prices for the service and atmosphere. Nothing terribly memorable food-​wise though. The octopus was tasty, (although go to Agabi down the street and you’ll have one of the best grilled octopus dishes in history)! The lobster risotto was very tasty but the bacon was just a bit odd on the plate… Maybe hold on the strip of bacon garnished on top next time. The spicy chicken orzo was good but the flavors were very strong. Maybe that’s what was billed on the menu but it lacked the subtlety of flavoring that you’d maybe come to expect from very refined cuisine. The crème brûlée was really good though as a dessert. Why? The brulee wasn’t burnt… Or at least or didn’t taste burnt. Heavy cinnamon in it to still give it plenty of flavor. And the crème was thick. Great texture.
So, yes. It was good. But it wasn’t great. I liked, but I did not love. Yup. Pretty much just a nice, smiley yup.

Had dinner at JACS with friends and it was great. Not a large restaurant but nicely appointed. The service was friendly and efficient. Timely checks on how we were doing without being intrusive. The food is very good. The grilled Calamari was tender and nicely seasoned. We had the days special –pepper coated beef medallions on a mushroom risotto and everyone enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend JACS for a good meal in pleasant surroundings. Not cheap but good value.

My GF and I had dinner there on Tue Sep 17. We were very pleasantly surprised to find many other diners, beautiful white linen tablecloths, and excellent service. The food was delicious. Perhaps the only issue is the strong favoring of cream sauces for the Italian dishes. I would have liked more tomato sauce based dishes.

Great food good service. Will be back. Had very nice evening with friends. All our meals excellent.
