As always amazing food, it just can’t be beaten. We did have to ask for the desert menu after sitting with empty plates for quite a while, but otherwise service was OK. The desserts were so good that we almost ordered an extra one. It’s difficult to find somewhere with such high standards, my favourite place in Townsville.

My fiance and I were celebrating a birthday and Jam is an obvious choice for us to have a really special experience. The service is always amazing and the choice of food is great. We had 3 starters to share, a main dish each and a dessert to share, and of course a great bottle of wine to accompany it all. The waiter was very attentive and the overall ambiance was lovely. Thank you!
