   We were there to celebrate our anniversary. We were a little dressy, but most everyone else was casually dressed. The service was outstanding! And the ambiance was lovely. It reminded me of the Devon Horse Show. The food was amazing. We had the hot artichoke and crab meat dip, I ate the blackened salmon with chipotle mayo, my husband had the short rib au poivre, and we shared a Bailey's ice cream sundae. Our waiter was attentive and lovely. A touch too air conditioned, but that was our only complaint.

   Second time to Jockey Tavern and brought friends because my first time was fantastic! Second time was not the charm, service & food lacking. We had a young waitress that didn't check in on us often, the 3 different salads were all lacking, in particular one friend asked what greens base was on the one she was choosing and waitress said field greens when in fact it was all arugula. So I was disappointed and embarrassed by a not so good experience this time. Because I've been raving all around town about The Jockey Tavern.

   Cool new spot. Felt really upscale even if we ordered the French Dip which melted in your mouth. Great drinks in beautiful stemware. Great service. Only drawback was they never accounted for the noise in the building design so it is hard to talk at least in the dining area immediately to the right of the entrance.

   Sat in the bar area at a comfortable booth. Inside is beautifully refreshed from the prior business. Looks like the outside will be ready by Memorial Day. Our waitress Jocelyn was excellent, attentive and efficient. I had the lamb and spinach egg rolls which were crispy and delicious. The draft light beer was cold and crisp, thankfully not hoppy (not an IPA guy). My bud had the roasted tomato soup served with bread and goat cheese which he said was delightful. The side of fries were crispy and well seasoned. Looking forward to our next visit to further explore the menu!

   We went for Easter lunch/brunch. We both enjoyed one of the brunch specials, which provided a nice variety. The remainder of the menu was small, but looked good. Pricing was within the normal range for the area. There was a good sized energetic crowd, but the noise wasn't overwhelming. Decor is very nice. Wait staff were competent, friendly, and attentive. We will likely visit again and would recommend this place.
