    We have been regulars at J Theodore since they opened since we live close. They have always been spectacular. However, the food this time was not as good. I wondered why they served a steak knife with the red fish. Answer: it was very tough. My wife's entre was not great either. I'm hoping they get back to their old glory

    Group of 7. Waitress was less than attentive. Seemed like she was in the weeds the entire time, but the restaurant was shockingly dead for a Saturday brunch. She was however quite friendly and actually took food orders according to appropriate etiquette. Something you very rarely see anymore. When the food arrived, they were at varying degrees of temperature. Barely hot food essentially. I was kind of embarrassed that this was my restaurant recommendation, but luckily we had a wonderful time despite.

    Long time diner at Bonnie Ruth’s which became J. Theodore. Very pretty decor however it’s starting to look worn out and dated. All the diners are women. The place was FREEZING cold. I was miserable. For years I’ve ordered the pecan chicken salad sandwich served as a salad - not a sandwich. The plating was sad and came with a huge mound of french fries. Finally ordered coffee to warm up and the decaf was so weak and watered down all I had was cream and sugar in warm water. Very sad to see my favorite place going downhill.

    Our food was good, service was good, we had to ask for bread, also, we had made reservations and it did not appear that any table was reserved for us. We sat near the front door, which was awkward, and it was our Anniversary dinner.
    J. TheodoreResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Gary. Thank you for dining with us and for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service, but we’re sorry the seating situation didn’t feel special — especially for your anniversary. We do our best to accommodate reservations, and it’s clear we fell short in making your evening feel as thoughtful as it should have been. We truly appreciate you choosing to celebrate with us and will be taking your comments to our team as we work to improve.

    Food was perfect, Meredith was our server and was amazing! Only issue was with the hostess, we were celebrating my wife’s Birthday. I booked via Open Table and noted we wanted to sit inside and it was my wife’s Birthday. We arrived and we taken outside, I mentioned to the server that we had reserved inside. The Hostess rolled her eyes and sat us jammed in between two other parties even though the restaurant was not full. I reminded her it was my wife’s birthday, she said “ok”. While the service and food we great. My wife’s Birthday was never acknowledged. The restaurant needs to address this hostesses customer service skills and retrain. While we will return, but not for a special occasion.

    Hi Jason! Thank you for the kind words about the food and for recognizing Meredith — we’re lucky to have her, and we’re glad she helped make your dinner enjoyable. That said, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience with the hostess, especially on a night that was meant to feel special. Celebrating a birthday should feel a little extra, and it’s disappointing to hear that it wasn’t acknowledged after you noted it in your reservation. Your feedback is being taken seriously and will be shared with our team so we can make sure it’s addressed. We truly appreciate you giving us another chance, and we hope your next visit feels more in line with the kind of hospitality we aim to provide — especially for occasions that matter.

    Food was not good and very expensive. Service was slow, forgot my son’s juice, fruits and cookies and had to ask for everything and even then forgot to bring his cookie.
    J. TheodoreResponded 6 days ago
    Hi Momal, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share it. It’s clear we missed the mark — both in the kitchen and with our service — and that’s not the kind of visit we want anyone to have, especially when dining with family. Your feedback is being shared with our team so we can address the missteps and make sure we’re doing better moving forward. We know how important it is to get things right, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another try so we can show you the experience we aim to deliver.
