    My husband and I had dinner on a very hot and oppressive night last night. The restaurant was pleasantly cool but not icy, fine with me, however dinner took quite a bit longer than usual in a not very crowded restaurant. We attributed this to a very hot kitchen? …maybe staffing issues? Once the food arrived it was delicious as usual. In addition we were seated in an area with some loud and rambunctious customers. Bad on us for not asking to change our seating. So, overall, not the best experience, but certainly good enough. We usually give NYAJ all top marks, and I am sure we will again… but last night they just were not up to their usual excellence.

    We had a great experience at Not Your Average Joe's! The food was delicious, and I was especially impressed with the variety of gluten-free options available. What really made the meal stand out, though, was our waitress—she was absolutely phenomenal! Attentive, friendly, and ensured everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place!

    The food and service were great. The restaurant was on the chilly side. Enough so, that I had to go to the car and get our jackets. The small plates that came out to accompany the bread and oil were greasy. The server promptly replaced them, but it did make us wonder if the same issue existed for our plated meals. Clean silverware and dishes should be the norm, not the exception.

    Not your average is below average. The ambiance and decor seems tired as do the staff. Food was ok, but received an email advertising “Easter brunch” and there was nothing special or added for Easter. My Prosecco was served in a wine glass not a flute, which you’d expect for bubbles. We were seated at a booth and both benches had tears in the seats. sad atmosphere.
