   The most delicious food and hospitality! Wonderful experience from the moment we arrived. J&S Italian exceeded our expectations on every level. The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. It is truly an elevated expression of Italian cuisine. The owners are highly attentive and make you feel like family. We look forward to returning soon! - Mark & Linda

   We had an excellent meal…..sea-bass, salmon, chicken parmesan and beef tenderloin were all fantastic. Everyone in our party was very happy with this restaurant. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend.

   The service and ambience were great. Some food portions were surprisingly small, i.e. calamari appetizer and lobster add-on, which amounted to a tablespoon or two of chopped lobster meat.

   Great service and great food. We ordered the Charcuterie board for an appetizer, and it had so many selections and everything tasted great!! The server explained everything very well and he was a great server.

   Wonderful food. Great atmosphere. Live music but was played at a reasonable level. Only one song got to be what I would call “loud”… but the entire restaurant clapped and enjoyed it. The peach lemon drop martini is amazing.

    Exceptionally poor service. Waited over an hour and half and never got our entrees. Waitress avoided our table and never refilled our drinks. We left before getting our food.

    Four of us had a wonderful dinner and considering how busy it was the food and service was great and we understood it would be slow receiving our food as restaurant was very busy. Our only complaint was the noise level was extremely loud as live music was playing and we had a hard time hearing each other. While the music was good not sure a good idea on a busy weekend night.

    I don’t usually give 5 stars across the board, but wow! They were wonderful from the time we walked in until the time we left. The food, the drinks, the service.. it was all perfect. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Can hardly wait to make a second trip out there!

    The food was good, although there were less menu choices and it was more expensive than previous visits. Less Italian items on the menu.

    We had not been here since the new owners took over....the food was still very good and our waitress was personable and prompt. However, we were unaware that there was live music at the early hour of 6:45. It was loud, we were unable to converse with one another and could barely hear our server's questions. We thought the prices were somewhat overpriced, but a lot of places are today. We do not live here, but visit fairly often, but will not return here due to the loud music during dining hours. We felt like we were in a bar/lounge instead of a fine dining establishment,

    The seabass is one of the best meals J & S prepares, and it is my favorite. My husband loved the "special" which was steak Oscar, beef tenderloin with crab legs. I had a bite and the beef filet was incredibly tender...you almost didn't need a knife to cut the steak. Outstanding meal and service.

    Sid and Jeanne do a wonderful job of creating an atmosphere of hospitality in this venue; the food was absolutely excellent in every way, as was the selection of wines and the variety of the menu… During our visit this particular evening, our experience was that service, while attentive enough, was significantly slow…more so than would have been expected for the time of day we dined. Secondly, the sound level in the restaurant was significantly higher than personally desired, particularly w the overlay of live music and especially w guests who are elderly and hearing impaired… These comments are not meant to be critical, but are just for thoughtful consideration of mgt!! Overall a great evening with lots of personalized touches!!

    We had the best time at J&S!! The food was out of this world amazing! The service was so warm and attentive. And the best performer played the guitar and sang all night long which was a great surprise! It's so rare to go to a restaurant where everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves but you could just feel the joy and enthusiasm from everyone there. The owners made sure to introduce themselves and that we had everything we needed. I honestly thought I was making a reservation at a different restaurant coming in from our of town but it ended up being such a happy accident and we had a better time than we were even expecting. I will definitely make the trip just to go back!

    Went for a dinner that included 4 adults and 2 children on a Saturday night and it was great! The live music was really good in the background but not too loud with a truly talented young lady. Everyone was friendly and accommodating from the time we walked in. Food was amazing. For apps our favorite was the rice balls. We had the chicken parm, veal Marsala, and chicken fettuccini Alfredo, all were perfect, chicken parm was my favorite.our server Jimmy was great with the kids and adults, the owner came by a few times. Deserts were all fantastic, our favorite was the bread pudding.
