   Exactly the same as 25 years ago. Not in a good way. No one wants to listen to frank sinatra the entire meal. Had to ask 3 different times for the same food question. Then asked what the handle of the day/week was in bar and was told “I don’t know I would have to check… and never did until meal was over. No mocktails. I asked for a juice concoction in a fancy glass… Didn’t get that. No country crock or butter substitute. 25 years ago that all flew. Not today…

   Well, above average for price point! Very nice environment. High-end steak diner would be my best description not a Ruth’s Chris steakhouse but so much nicer than a Jamison‘s. If you’re looking for quality and affordability with a nice environment, this is a good place for you.

   Came for my birthday celebration, had a good time and great service. I did not think the ribeye was anything special, also under seasoned (not worth $50). My lady had the shrimp dish and it was great!

   Everyone in our group enjoyed their food. Not only was it delicious but we al took some home. Our server was just outstanding. She was attentive, pleasant and so nice. She did an excellent job of taking care of the table. The restaurant’s ambience is cozy and inviting. We will go back.

   We stopped on the way home from the airport and continue to now go back whenever possible. It is 40 minutes from our home but definitely worth it. Great service. The bartender talked us into getting the cheese appetizer that they set on fire when they bring to your table along with the steak skewer appetizers. We put some steak (with the oil) and cheese on the pita bread and it is to die for. That could definitely be your full meal. Love this place.

   Jimmy's Chathouse reasonably priced steakhouse. The food is excellent, never a bad meal. Their tiramisu is one the best I've ever had. Our service was, as always, professional and friendly. We'll be back.

   Delicious food and great personal service Even though the place was steadily getting busier Jose-Luis , made sure our drinks were filled - food was delivered promptly to our table - and stopped at our table to make sure we didn’t need anything else.. very pleasant dining experience.
