    Beef bourguignon was dry! Very overcooked, and for $39. The lamb shank was okay, at $49 and the crepes were so-so with barely a handful of fries for $29. Desserts are now $15 each. High priced rip off overall.

    Our waitress was so attentive and so good. Our food though, honestly for the prices just did not blow us away. My husband's salmon was just ok (the sides were good) and the steak I had really did not have a lot of flavor despite the sauce on top. There are just several other restaurants in the area that I feel like have better food for a smaller bill at the end of the day. The atmosphere was very nice and the wine selection was also good.

    Our service was AMAZING. The restaurant ambiance is AMAZING. The food was AMAZING. It’s felt like we were teleported to PARIS. It was so Romantic with French music everything was on point… the French wine, the beef bourguignon, the veal risotto, the baked brie, the Inion soup AND the crème brûlée was the best I have ever had…. and believe me I have had many!!! This Bistro is a true Gem. Our server Jessica was a Customer Service Professional. Thank you for such an excellent experience. Will definitely return and recommend highly.!!! Oh… there is a big 40 foot Eiffel Tower inside the restaurant that really makes you feel like you are right there!!! Blown away thanks again!!! J. C.

    My wife and I went to JJ's Bistro for our anniversary. We hadn't been in a number of years but found the entire experience wonderful. My wife started with the baked brie and the look on her faced showed her pleasure with the dish. Since my wife is also allergic to shellfish and she wanted the Salmon, a simple request to remove the crab was graciously honored and the chef even made a special sauce to top the salmon to make it more special. I had the shrimp and scallops over risotto and I must say that, while the shrimp were excellent, the scallops were some of the best that I've ever eaten. They were perfectly cooked, flavorful and extremely tender. Our waitress, Jessica, suggested a chateaunuef de-pape Blanc to accompany our seafood dishes which was a wonderful and pleasant surprise. For dessert, my wife had a light and airy chocolate cake and, based upon a recommendation from our outstanding waitress, Jessica, I had the plum tart. The cake was excellent and my tart was only ok--it tasted fine, but it really wasn't what I was expecting and probably should have had the mixed fruit tart, which my wife bought to take home for the next day, which turned out to be much better. This is the only reason that I gave our experience 4 Stars vs. 5. I would wholeheartedly recommend JJ's Bistro de Paris and we look forward to returning.

    Lovely meal celebrating a 60th birthday. However prices on menu were significantly higher than what was on website menu and WAY HIGH! I had asked the manager upon arrival about splitting the check so we could pay individually and split the birthday girl’s check among the other 6 of us and he said it was totally not a problem and he would tell our waitress to do that. This was not done and ultimately became a rather awkward and complicated situation. Overall we love JJ’s, the food was great, the waitress was wonderful til the check thing, and we’ll go back…. after we save up! 😉

    This was our first time to enjoy JJ’s Bistro on Gate Pkwy. We chose to make our initial reservation on Valentine’s Day hoping to make our anticipated special evening an exceptional experience. Previously, we have been to JJ’s in Pointe Vedra and anticipated a similar dining event on Tuesday. We were seated in a semi secluded dining area which was perfect! However, our waitress was not very attentive to our table even though the restaurant was not overly busy at the time. If it was not for other associates attending to our needs regarding water, cleanup and checking on our evening, we would have not had as good of experience as we did. We enjoyed a glass of wine and two appetizers which were both delicious and totally in line with our expectations. However, our entrees were simply OK, but neither entree was near as good as we had hoped. My wife is French and ordered scallops but the dish served was not what was identified on the menu. My entree of beef was way too salty. In general, items on their dinner menu appeared to reflect inflated prices in function of Valentines Day verses their routine daily offerings. I can fully understand a temporary elevation of prices, but the meal should also reflect the uniqueness of the special date. At the conclusion of our meal, we spoke with one of the bistro associates as we left the restaurant as our designated waitress never personally checked back with us regarding our dining experience. We probably will not return for quite some time as there are plenty of other options throughout the area.

    My wife and I tried this place for the first time last week Friday. The entry area is set up like a store with wine bottles and a dessert display showcasing some delicious-looking desserts. We were seated right away in a side room that reminded me of being in someone's home. The walls are nicely decorated with paintings giving the feeling of being in Paris. Overall, the food was very good and the wait staff was very attentive and welcoming. The food prices were a bit high as was the wine but the taste was perfect.

    We had a party of six, and we had a beautiful evening with wonderful service, low-key environment, great food all around. We all tried something different from steaks, seafood dishes, risotto, vichyssoise soup, escargot was great and desserts were wonderful. My husband and I look forward to going back on a date night ourselves.

    It was a evening dinner with a good friend and her elderly aunt. Our server was very accommodating with the aunt’s special needs and made some great suggestions. We all got something different and we were all very pleased with our dishes. The dessert selections are great and we even got macaroons to go. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Food was extremely over salted. Every course had too much salt. The soup was not edible because of the amount salt. The entrees were also way too salty. We had high expectations from reviews and were seriously disappointed. It will be a one and done for us.
