    Our experience at Jupiter Supper Club was outstanding! The restaurant is devastatingly gorgeous, the food is exceptional, and the service is excellent! I especially recommend the beet chips with smoked avocado mousse, the Ditalini Pasta, and the Black Forest Parfait (I have never had a more amazing dessert) The service staff was friendly, attentive, professional, and efficient. The ambience is stunning with little details of marvel and exquisite design everywhere you look. Perfect for a date, an intimate gathering of friends, or a inspiring place to sit alone in the bay window and have a manhattan overlooking Congress Avenue and the Paramount Theatre.

    Despite the fact that the 3 of us raised the mean age by at least 15 years, we had a fantastic time. Service was great - food was even better! You HAVE GOT TO TRY THE BRIOCHE DONUTS.
