    We had a wonderful experience for lunch at JBs on the water. James was our waiter and immediately asked if any one in our party had a food allergy (on of our kids has an allergy). James took extra care to ensure that everything was prepared and served safely. The receipt even indicated the allergy after every item to ensure the chefs were also aware. Over all a wonderful experience with extra special care given to severe food allergies. The food was excellent .

    Katie was our server and she was attentive and professional. We visited for lunch. It came out hot from the kitchen. The manager stopped by to make sure we had everything that we needed. The view is always spectacular. All in all another great meal at JB's on the water.

    Fantastic food, and even better service for our party of 7! They really have a good team here, and we especially appreciated that they have a little slip of paper for those with food allergies to fill out. And that a kitchen manager came to the table with our starters to further explain what was and was not edible for the one with allergies. And there‘s the view, too! Thank you to the JB's staff who served our party.

    Our waitress, who is in training, is friendly, efficient, and attentive. The food is good, a little overpriced, but on par with the area. The view and ambience are wonderful.

    swordfish special was very salty for my taste and for $39 it came with just rice! I will give it another try to be fair.

    We visited with a group of six to celebrate two milestone birthdays—both ending in zero—during a special weekend trip. The restaurant easily accommodated two reservation changes, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the dining experience didn’t live up to expectations. We came hoping for a memorable celebration meal, but the food was underwhelming. We ordered the whipped feta appetizer, salads, entrées, and multiple desserts. Everything was edible, but nothing stood out or felt special. Service was a real issue. We had to track down our server multiple times throughout the evening, including when we were ready to pay our $400 bill. For a meal where a 20% tip is typically expected, the level of service didn’t match the price. The ambiance was fine, but not particularly memorable. The highlight of the evening was actually the lively birthday group at the next table—their kindness and energy made our night much more enjoyable. In the end, we still had a great time because we chose to roll with it and focus on celebrating together. Still, I wouldn’t recommend this spot, especially for a special occasion. Beech, just down the street, offered far better food, service, and atmosphere.

    Catch of the Day was tasty, Tile fish. It was served along with Bacon, Scallion, Coconut Jasmine rice which was a nice complement. In a party of (7), no one was dissatisfied with their meal.

    Excellent dinner at JBs for all four of us - drinks exactly as described with great flavors and intensity. Poke bowl delish with fresh tuna and quinoa (keeps it a light dish) and seaweed salad and spicy sauce. Perfectly fresh but filling. Tuna tacos always filled to the edge with fish and salsa. Fish of the day cooked perfectly over coconut rice. Lobster roll over flowing with lobster meat. Roll perfectly warmed. Excellent meal overall. Highly recommend and will go again. Ask for Beth as your server! Very helpful but not overbearing.
