The venue was outstanding. The server Dominick was awesome and the food was great. The topper was the Vibe of the 2 piece band and the music produced by them.

Had such a delicious and happy Easter brunch at Jimmy’s with the family. So many wonderful food choices - something for everyone. Great service and even a fun area for the kids. And the jazz was an extra delight. Thanks Jimmy’s! We’ll be back.

The place was nicely decorated and very pretty. The food was amazing and the service was good. The music was good but it was much too loud making conversation nearly impossible in the main room. That was enough to make us think twice about returning next year. If the music was more background, it would be 100% experience.

First time at Jimmy’s. The building is remarkable!! It should get an architecture award for preserving an old building in such a unique way. Our Easter Brunch exceeded all expectations. Food and beverages were delicious and plentiful. Our server, LEAH, was outstanding. She made our experience exceptional. And let’s not forget about the jazz band that played all the time and so talented. We all had a great Easter. Thank you!!! Loved the Easter bunnies!

It was our family first time at Jimmy's. Jimmy's is elegant without been stuffy. The variety of the food at the buffet is impressive. Good quality and delicious, not seeing in many other buffets. The music was really good and adds a different detail to the venue. The music is not overwhelming, pleasant enough to have a conversation at the table. All the staff from reception to table servers were outstanding and very accommodating. I am looking forward to return to Jimmys. I have been talking a lot about my experience there.

In addition to the stunning ambience of the venue, the music and art exhibition, the Sunday Jazz brunch stands out with outstanding service, and an amazing selection of high quality items on the buffet menu, absolutely delicious, and unmatched in the Greater Boston area.

The musician was amazing! Noise level was great and they were very interactive. Ambiance was great as well. The food however, was terrible. not a single item was still warm, except the items that were supposed to be cold, those were warm. My significant other got a stomach ache from the "fishiest salmon he has ever tasted". Service wasn't great either. We had to ask for our bill while being the only people left in the room that wasn't staff. Would go back, but definitely not for brunch.

We had such a wonderful time during the jazz brunch today. Everything was perfect as usual. My only feedback is that the band was louder than normal so it made it difficult to talk to others at our table.
