    We had a very nice experience at the new Jockey Tavern. The service was fantastic and the food very good. I had the brisket Renan sandwich and I have to say it was the best Reuben I have ever had. It was served with a choice of soup which was also delicious. I saw on the menu they have fish and chips and am looking forward to trying that.

    We had an outstanding New Years Eve dinner. We had a reservation, and we were seated promptly. Anna was a personable and professional server who added to our enjoyable evening dinner. The blood orange cosmo and smoked old fashioned were excellent drinks. We shared a salad which could have been a little larger for the price. We ordered two entrees off the Specials menu. I had the 14 ounce prime rib which was delicious. It was cooked perfectly at medium rare and served with a horseradish sauce. The creamed spinach and asparagus were perfect. My wife has the lobster ravioli with three scallops which she enjoyed.

    The renovations to the bar were worth the wait- The space is very warm and inviting! They had a wonderful piano player that complimented the ambiance as well. We were pleased with the unique choices on the menu, and very satisfied with our meals. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and attentive, and when my husband mentioned it was my birthday, she offered us a free dessert! As if that wasn’t surprise enough, I got a card signed by everyone on the staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our night and definitely plan on returning soon!
