    Salmon in Salmon salad had strong seasoning that did not go with salad. Not a good, fresh grilled salmon. Plus it had remains of skin on the bottom. Otherwise, salad was very good.

    I love J. Lui. After the waitress took our order and then brought our food. The owner, Tina, came over and made sure we were happy with our everything. Which we were delighted with the Phad Tai. How many owners do that? I heard her or her husband Jason were there every night. Excellent restaurant.

    This place Is hit or miss. Sat outside and were not aloud to have happy hour discounts unless we sat at the bar. Host told us she did not have our reservation and that it is better to call then use open table. Then she came back and said their internet was down and they found the reservation. Waiter forgot second glass of wine so I went to the bar to get it. Same bar I had to sit at to have happy hour. Frustrating visit!

    We went for Mother’s Day buffet. I’ve been for regular Sunday buffet before and enjoyed it, but that was a few years ago. Service was rude. We were seated at a folding table (literally a folding table) that was much larger than our party, but resulted in being very cramped as it was wedged between other tables. However, the rest of the restaurant was rather empty. It was very uncomfortable seating. The hostess was rude and the waiter was strange. He did a fine job getting drinks, but took a long time to greet us. The menu was different than the original one I saw online (not sure if they had an old Mother’s Day brunch one up). There were shrimp and grits on the one that I saw when making the reservation, but the menu that was printed for the day of did not contain that item, which was disappointing. Some of the food was good and some was just so-so. The cod was very bland and overcooked. Some of the desserts were still frozen. The salad was awesome, though. However, salad isn’t worth 45 a head. I was so uncomfortable with our seating that I didn’t even get more than one plate.

    Carving station was excellent. All the sides were very good and plentiful. Heard that the chocolate cheesecake was very good at the dessert station. Could tell that a lot of effort went into making it a great buffet for Mothers Day. All staff was friendly and helpful. Overall an excellent meal and really glad we did it!

    We had a wonderful time at j.lui on Mother’s Day. The food, and food choices were excellent. The bonus is the accessibility from the highway, as my family traveled from Cleveland. j.lui is always an excellent and fun dining experience.

    Understaffed. (After we were seated and waited a bit, it was the hostess who brought us water. Later, I noticed she was the one also serving the dishes.) “Barbara” was the only waitress I saw on the whole floor! My lettuce wraps were average.

    Only table in late (we’ll before closing) we were rushed to order (so the kitchen could close we were told) and cook and bartender held a conversation complaining about having to stay to serve a single table. Don’t take the reservation if you don’t want to serve.
