    Outstanding meal at Jump. It was 'Home Game Special" night and the main course was totally special. An amazing veal schnitzel chop with all the trimmings. And for starters a brilliant lobster salad with delicious pear tatin to finish. Excellent fun service from Marketa. Such a well run restaurant with great staff, a wonderful chef team and reasonable prices for such impressive food. Who could ask for more !!!

    I took my mom here and we had a great time The staff are so kind and friendly and the food was incredible. We had the hummus dip appetizer and couldn't get enough of it and we both had the chicken salad with the ginger dressing!!! Our waitress also suprised us with a free dessert and wrote merry Christmas in raspberry puree on the plate. It was perfection!!

    As every other time we've had dinner at The Chase, it was superb. Service is impeccable from food running to management. Our meals were flawless and beautifully presented and got us out in time for the theatre. The place is darned pretty and was even more so in the holiday season. We can't say enough about The Chase.

    Service wasn’t that great - we had to flag server down and still they didn’t attend to us right away. And there were many flies flying around the table which was very strange. Otherwise food was good.
