Ordered the short rib and it did not disappoint. The plate sized portion was braised to perfection. We also enjoyed the tuna entree which was also seared to order and served piping hot. We rounded out the evening with the mousse & toffee cake. Dirty martinis were spot on and service was very attentive. We enjoyed the fact they had some background music playing also. This has always been a great spot for us and will continue to visit.

Our entrees were terrific. My wife had the short rib special and I had the pork chop. The ceasar salad, however, was obviously prepared earlier and spent some time in refrigeration.

What a nice surprise tucked away in a small strip shopping center. Once in the dining room, you forget it is in a shopping center. Staff and service were excellent. Very helpful with suggestions. Caesar salad was not the “usual” and was excellent. Very good dressing. My scallops were cooked perfectly as was my wife’s rack of lamb. Presentation was great and delicious. Key lime pie was very good. A great place for a special dinner.

Always a great eat! We had one Jerry's classics: Grilled horseradish tuna with jumbo lump crab sauce - excellent as ever. The special braised beef short ribs. A huge portion of melt in your mouth wine braised short rib served with plenty of the bailing sauce over buttered mash and fresh spinach. Two amazing dishes. Would need to return some other for dessert!

We have been to Jerry’s four times. The food quality and portions are good but every time we remark how salty the food is or how much sauce the put on the food. This time our tartar appetizer had too much balsamic reduction on it. It was good but overpowering and my husbands red snapper, while cooked well, was extremely salty. I want to love this restaurant because the service, food quality, presentation and portions are great. If only the food was less salty I would give it a 5 star rating.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with another couple. The main dining area is small and intimate. The room temperature was pleasant without being uncomfortably cool! Clara, our server, greeted us and shared the special entree. Interestingly, each of us selected a different seafood entree. Since we did not order appetizers, our meals arrived in short order. All meals were hot and looked great. Clara did a super job! However, another highlight of our dining experience was the meal. All seafood dishes were beautifully presented and extremely tasty. There were no negative comments by our dining group. Great food and excellent service. I highly recommend Jerry’s for a fine dining experience and do hope Clara is your server!

This is a fine restaurant that I will revisit from time to time. The noise level was somewhat high so I recommend noise dampening measures. My greatest complaint however is the strip mall location next door to a pizza house. A better location would be a good idea.

I was a little skeptical when we pulled up and I saw that Jerry's was located in a strip mall. However, once we walked inside and saw the twinkle lights in the intimate dining room, I knew we were in a good place. The service was attentive and, though it took a bit to get our entrees, the server insisted on providing us a free key lime pie--some of the most delicious I have tasted! The watermelon gazpacho is to die for. The lamb was absolutely amazing. Everything we ate was beyond delicious. I cannot recommend highly enough!!

2nd time I ate there for romantic birthday dinner. Corner out of the way table with Julia as waitress made it really nice. NC snapper was a fabulous meal and having the bottle of wine at the table from my children was a very classy surprise. Joked with waitress and her mom Kathy. Felt like a neighborhood hangout for us. I'll be back and hope to have another great experience. The bread served with dinner is the bomb and gelato for desert made it a super night.

One of our group of 4 had never experienced Jerry’s - we were all wowed by the great service from our server Jennifer, craft cocktails perfectly prepared, the abundance of choices on the menu, and the delicious dinners we received. One chose the tuna entree, two chose roast lamb, and one sea scallops - all were prepared with care and beautifully presented, done exactly as requested. Highly recommend Jerry’s for an intimate and delicious meal.
