   Calling all adults? Fun friendly service with good food but small / intement for a romantic feel for dinner. Live jazz earlier then 10pm a new band graced the stage with some old time favorites Jazz & R&B!

   I bumped upon this place and decided to eat here with a girlfriend on an early Sunday evening. The food was great (I had Seabass, she had Drunken Chicken), service was great (very prompt and attentive waitresses), prices were reasonable and there was even a cool jazzy band that played at 8pm--not too loud so you could still here each other talk.

   The food was good. It took longer than expected for my table to receive entrees. The cajun spice on the Chicken/Shrimp was slightly overpowering, but not horrible. Was surprised by the bone in the chicken when it was supposed to be breast. Looked like a leg bone but it was white meat which probably meant shoulder bone or similiar.

   First time at JoJo's celebrating a birthday....ate upstairs where we could hear the music, talk and enjoy our meal. On recommendation of Melanie, our waitress, we both had the ribs and they were excellent....and Melanie is the jewel in the crown. Her manner with guests, her short conversations with us and her welcoming spirit made the dinner special....as did the birthday surprise of Tiramisu with a candle. If you are looking for a spot on U street, try JoJo's and enjoy!

   Being out-of-towners, we were totally unfamiliar with restaurants in the DC area, and we needed a reasonably priced place with special food for a family celebration. We searched on Open Table and came on Jo Jo's. Many of the other restaurants had food that was too unfamiliar, exotic or spicy for the two elderly grandmothers. Jo Jo's menu seemed to have something for everyone. We dropped off most of our party and found an underground parking lot a short walk away. We were seated upstairs. The wait staff was so attentive and everyone really enjoyed their food. If you are sensitive to spicy food, ask about it before you order. Some of the food was spicier than expected, but everyone enjoyed their meal.

   I attended Jojo's for a business dinner and had requested a quiet table on the 2nd floor. The special request did get to the host for the evening, but my request was not able to be honored because of a private party. The host explained this and sat us at a quiet table near the bar. The food was pretty good, and the service was friendly. As far as what is available on U Street, this place had a little less to offer as far as the eclectic nature of the U Street area. The jazz was pleasant and not overwhelming.

   We headed to Jojo for our girls night out. The food was amazing, service was fast, and our server was able to split our checks with ease which I really appreciate. I always have a great time at Jojo. The only down side is we didn't get to sit downstairs but since we had a lot of catching up to do we didn't mind so much (plus you could hear the music upstairs and there was a TV so we could see the band playing.) We'll be back again for sure!

    The place seems to be run by total incompetents. We had to walk out. As we left other patrons were complaining about food, service, etc.
