Restaurant, Bistro
The food was really good, the only reason it wasn’t 5 stars is because how tiny the tables for two are.We could barely fit two plates on the table and it just felt extremely cramped inside.If you go with a bigger group and get a table it would probably be best!
This is an update to an earlier 5 star review, after my friends and I visited again. JP has many restaurants where you not only can get good food, but have a good time.For me, at the top of the list for a good time and absolutely fantastic food is Ten Tables.The place is joyful, familiar and friendly. We had mussels that were the best I ever had. The halibut was succulent and the brisket pasta was such a comfort food.Thank you Krista, Randy, Cristina and the staff for allowing us to have a wonderful evening.
Update: Surprised the "kitchen appreciation fee" is increased to 7%.I'm not paying your kitchen staff, the business owner should do that. I have always enjoyed it here (and loved the basil gelato they had the one time), but the last time I visited, service was very slow (the place wasn't full but there was only one person working at the tables.For one of our entrees, the chef had to bring it to us from the kitchen).Food was still fine, however, at the end of the meal, I was surprised by the additional 5% they tag onto the bill (now I know it's a disclaimer at the bottom of the menu).It's apparently a "kitchen appreciation" fee.The kitchen staff should be paid a living salary and customers should not have to be forced to pay an additional 5%.This fee culture in the US seems to be getting a little out of hand. The tables are quite small but the atmosphere is still homey so I don't mind.It does make eating a bit difficult if you have multiple dishes and multiple people and you easily run out of space.
