| Comments: | Went there last weekend for an anniversary getaway based on advice on the message board. The food was excellent and the service was beyond comparison (although if I was their target clientelle, they could do away with the $4000 bottle of wine on their wine list). |

| Comments: | We were in KC attending a wedding and stayed in the Plaza area.
We went here based on Wine Spectator and Zagat's reviews. We were definitely not disappointed. It is a very good restaurant and of course the wine list is terrific! If we lived there we would go to this restaurant all the time. |

| Comments: | We were looking forward to dining at JJs. It is a very attractive restaurant. The dining area is comfortable and tables are not on top of each other as in some places. The wine list is exceptional. We passed up the $2400 red and chose a lovely $36 Cabernet instead! However, we were disappointed with the menu. It was rather ordinary, with few outstanding items. Our meals were nevertheless quite acceptable. |

| Comments: | I absolutely love JJ's....everything from the food to the service is first-rate! My husband and I went there on our first date and now we go back frequently because we consider it "our" place. I especially love that their goal is for the customer to have a full dining experience, rather than trying to get you in and out to "turn the table".....and the waiters always have great wine recommendations because the list is quite overwhelming! |

| Comments: | I loved JJ's, the food was awesome and the restaurant was clean and elegant. The prices are a bit high, and ( i dont know about all) but my waitress Chentelle was rude and wouldn't agknowledge me. The manager, host, busser and other employees all were very nice and took great care of our table. I would go there again, but hopefully i dont have the same waitress! They really wanted my to have a good time, the busser would always greet me and say please and thank you. I dont know if its just me, but thats what i love to hear, especially from a Busser! |
