Jocko's is a lot of fun and the steaks are great! Prices are up some (as everywhere) Unfortunately, they cut back on their amazing appetizer tray some time back which was IMO a highlight of the place (along with great drinks) ... I get that it wasn't fun to have to throw out uneaten appetizers but it would have been better to sell these for, say, $5 or $8. I would say the food is not quite where it was pre-Covid, hence the **** and not *****

The food was a bit overpriced for the quality but was still delicious! Definitely feels like a country club but overall it was a very pleasant dinner for us.
