Jovi's

"Went for local restaurant week with my partner and I mentioned restaurant week because I want to extend some grace that what happened to us wouldn’t lilely be the typical experience, so keep that in mind with this review. The special that week was a three course meal for a prix fixe price. A couple items weren’t available by the time we got there even though it was only the first day for restaurant week there and so we have to pivot on a couple things, but those pivots ended up working well in our favor. For example, they were out of the 16 ounce porterhouse steak option, which we both wanted so we got an upgrade to a much larger cut and quality of steak (score!) Everything we had was good from the bread basket to the soup to the main entrée. Both of our steaks were cooked just right and both our server and kitchen staff apologized for the issue, which was nice since there was no certainty we would get steak at all since they were out of the special option. They even provided some complementary pasta as well. We wrapped up the meal with some dessert to go, The last thing to end the experience was the credit card machine/service seem to be down so if you wanted to pay by card, you essentially had to leave your information and they could run it the next day. I was a bit leery about this, but it worked out fine since I didn’t have any cash on me. I’d try Jovi's again at a different time just to see if the experience is a bit more smooth."

"Went for dinner 12/22. Haven’t been in a while but always liked it here and food was always good. Our meal was very good, our server was great and very personable. However, one of our water glasses had a lipstick stain on it. Asked for straws and water was warm. Silver wear and dishes old and dingy. My husband ate a long hair that was in Manhattan. I went up to the bar and they gave me another drink, but I would have expected to at least had them take the drink off of the bill and the owner to acknowledge and apologize. I believe he was sitting at the bar when I went up to request another drink. Even though the food and server were great, it left a bad taste and we probably won’t go back."

"Went to Jovi’s for the 1st time last evening & what a pleasant experience! Danny the bartender, greeted us very warmly & our drinks were served quickly. The menu was so enticing with a variety of choices. The artichokes francaise were excellent, followed by clams casino & salmon over spinach that disappeared in short order. The place is a “gem” - we’ll be back soon & loved the warm, friendly, neighborhood feeling of Jovi’s!"

"Weekly six to 15 of us try different restaurants to try to find a homebase. It’s a harder task than I thought. I have been here for bar food and it was great. Drinks are good. Prices are reasonable this time had to return the stuffed banana peppers were cold/borderline frozen. My steak was tough as can be but like my son said, don’t go to an Italian restaurant to order steak. Service of food was quick, but would only will return for Buffalo Bar food.(wings,fries etc)"

"Very disappointed today. A few months ago I ordered a roast beef sandwich which came with these amazing fries. The sandwich was amazing. I ordered the same thing today and it was less than average at best. The meat was tough and dry. Apparently it doesn't come with fries anymore but stale mixed potatoe chips. Inconsistencies are the best way to lose customers. You response still does not address the very poor quality of the food."
