    Wildly expensive and absolutely not worth it. Ordered the fritto Misto and it was just frozen fish sticks and frozen calamari flash fried. That and two drinks was over 100$?! You’ve got to be kidding me. Save yourself the disappointment and go anywhere else and get your moneys worth.

    Our reservation was for 2:30 last call for the kitchen was at 3pm. I was not aware that the kitchen was closing so early. The waitress was very nice but to get our stuff out was very slow and our food was cold. Not sure if it was because the time we got there or not. Over all the place was cute and the drinks were festive.

    I was really excited to go to the Jingle Tavern! It had some cute decorations, but that's about where the joy stopped. Our server took a while to greet us (it was busy, that's fine), but it took 45 minutes for our drinks to get to the table. Our "brie tree" appetizer looked a bit childish (for $25 I have a certain picture of what that should be). The flavor was fine, but certainly not worth the price - it also didn't match the description found in the menu. Finally, our drinks arrived (our server comped them which was nice) and were not the best. Mine tasted like medicine, even though I had a detailed discussion with the server about the taste profile. Neither of us finished our drinks. We were hoping to order more food, but our server literally never came back. We had to track him down and, at that point, just decided to go home. I've worked in many restaurants, so I have a lot of grace and patience when it comes to a busy Saturday night, but we felt flat out ignored and were severely disappointed at the quality of food/drinks, given the price point. We left feeling like we wasted 2 hours of our night. We also noticed other people had "drink trees" which weren't on the menu, and if that was supposed to be a special, our server never mentioned it.

    My friend found a hair in her dish. My gnocchi was hard as rock and it was cold upon arrival. Service was terrible no one wanted to help us. No forks were given until asked for and it took about an hour. Table was so wobbly my drink went everywhere I would recommend this place. The prices were exorbitant for such bad food and service!
