    Jillians is an elegant, lovely restaurant. Both the courtyards and the inside dining are beautiful. Our waiter, Fernando, was the epitome of classy service. This is not a place to be in a rush; it's a place to order your cocktail and enjoy it before you even think about food, which is delicious.

    Your prices have gone up significantly. It's not worth it. Being charged $25 for a martini and $75 for lamb chops that were gamey. We will not be going back.

    Our server was an interrupter. We would be in the middle of talking and he would barge in and start talking. Wouldn’t expect that a nice restaurant. Crab salad was bland. Scallops were just ok.

    This is an amazing restaurant. The food is amazing ! It's creative, tasteful, the presentation is beautiful and tasteful. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. I would consider this one of the best restaurants in the valley. My only comment would be on the service. It seemed to lacking to the quality and the reputation. It took a very long time to have dishes cleared (we observed this at many of the tables around us). Although we were in no hurry to have dirty dishes sitting in front of you for a much longer period of time seems not up to this restaurants standards. Once we had finished dinner it must have taken 15-20 min to finally get the waiters attention to get out check. I could cover many other snafus that just were not as one would expect. As example when they ran out of one of the dishes the waiter yelled across a table "86 bucco" loud enough for a few tables to hear. You would not expect that at a restaurant like this. Again crispness. of service ! PLEASE do not take my comments as a reason to NOT try this restaurant. The FOOD alone is worth the experience. I am sure we just hit it on and off night.
