    We enjoy dining at Jax Spice. This is the sixth time we've been there over the many years it has been there. We had a table of six and it seemed at first they we're under staffed as we had to wait for at least ten minutes before a server came to our table. After they took our orders, most everything seemed to go smoothly. The atmosphere isn't any bit elegant but the food is great!
