Atmosphere & Ambience

  • "Just a good vibe, and great fish, in this place."
  • "The ambiance was great."

Cons:

  • "Keep in mind, this place is very small, it’s a beautiful quaint setting and there’s a lot of people waiting to get seated and that are trying to get reservations."
  • "But I have to say please invest in a door that closes by itself, we had to get up and close the door because people were not closing it behind them."
  • "I got everything to go because the atmosphere intimidated me because this place is super top notch and everything was HEAVEN well worth the $270 even as take out!"
  • "It was a little loud but not bothersome (it's a small space)."
  • "The dining area is a little tight and it gets very loud inside."
  • "The atmosphere was very noisy and I did not feel that the place was romantic in any way which we read in the write ups in advance."
  • "And the place is too small for entertainment, I could not have a conversation with the people I came with."

Service

Pros:

  • "Johnny was an excellent host (and even sang Happy birthday to the three members of the family celebrating)."
  • "Chelsea was our server and she is truly the best."
  • "The staff were very attentive, polite and knowledgeable."
  • "Our server promptly brought over a bucket of ice for our wine to chill and opened our wine."
  • "Excellent service and excellent food."
  • "Staff is extraordinary, especially Tyler."
  • "Every server we’ve had for several years makes you feel welcome and cared for."

Cons:

  • "The server was terrible and never came back to the table to see how we were doing."
  • "Love Jules@Market but a lot of down time from the time we ordered until we got our food."
  • "The biggest problems came with the delivery of the food."
  • "Will think long before we return and we have been there well over 35 times. Not a good experience at ALL."
  • "Never bring the plastic bus bins onto the floor to clear a table."
  • "We waited 25 minutes for our appetizers and then waited again for a side after being served our main courses at separate times."
  • "The final straw was our waitress she was terrible it was a girl with glasses if that matters but she was not good at all to be up front lazy and slow."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Crab cakes were delicious."
  • "The food was cooked perfectly and worth EVERY PENNY!"
  • "The dishes are creative and full of flavor."
  • "The food was so good! Avocado toast was absolutely phenomenal. Crab cakes were just as good."
  • "Our food was nothing short of amazing!"
  • "Mussels, Oysters, Scallops, Grouper, Sea Bass, potatoes and broccoli, all perfectly prepared."
  • "The food was absolutely delicious, exquisitely prepared, generous portions."

Cons:

  • "I ended up having to stop somewhere on the way back to the hotel (mine doesn't have silverware as they don't serve any meals), this took about 20 minutes and my food ended up being pretty cold."
  • "They do not provide silverware or napkins to consume the food and the food is packaged in containers that are not microwavable."
  • "Whatever we ended up ordering was below our expectations. Not enough serving size."
  • "When the crab cakes arrived my wife and I were both shocked on the the size that they were."
  • "But, to put it bluntly they need training."
  • "The pureed peas and whole peas did not compliment the scallops at all and seem to clash with the seasoning used on the scallops."
  • "The fish had a fishy, old flavor, which I suppose was lucky because otherwise it would have had no flavor at all."

Value & Pricing

Pros:

  • "Each entree was in the 40s so it was nice to be spared the price of alcohol."
  • "This place is BYO and one in the party brought a bottle of wine which was uncorked, no charge."
  • "Even though the prices were not inexpensive, our bill remained quite reasonable due to no alcohol upcharge."
  • "You can savor fresh, succulent oysters for just $1 each, served over ice with a variety of delectable accompaniments."
  • "Food is worth the price."
  • "Both entrees were perfectly cooked."
  • "Highly recommend the avocado toast!"

Cons:

  • "Not a to-go friendly location if you are not going straight home."
  • "The prices were somewhat high."
  • "Pricing seems a bit high, particularly given the modest portions."
  • "The portion sizes were just right, and plated nicely."
  • "However, my overall experience was terrible given I spend $250 for a party of three without alcohol."
  • "The price point is a bit high for the portion size."
  • "Portions were ridiculous to small honestly for example jumbo crab cakes fit on a spoon and that's a fact we spent 600$ with tip for the four of us to eat."

Additional Facilities

Pros:

  • "This place is BYOB! Wanted to put it up front so you're not caught unaware like we were (and there is no place nearby to pick up a bottle last minute)."
  • "The place is also BYOB, and they fully support you mixing cocktails at the table."
  • "The ambiance is small but cozy, classic movies from the 40s play on the wall."
  • "It’s BYOB"
  • "The restaurant itself is sparkling clean, well taken care of."
  • "We enjoyed an outdoor table with a river view."
  • "They offer indoor or outdoor reservations."

Cons:

  • "I wish they would shovel the parking area. It sucked having to trek through piles of snow."
  • "Parking is a challenge!"
  • "And the place is too small for entertainment, I could not have a conversation with the people I came with."
  • "It would be nice if they could get a liquor license instead of BYOB, it's a shame it's so difficult to get."
  • "We had to wait 10-12 minutes to be seated, we were told there were no tables available."
  • "It's really loud. Not sure why they have live music, just adds to the sound clutter."
  • "One small minus is that it could be vented better. I came home smelling like food."
