    Have been wanting to get to Jays for a few years, to hear the live Jazz. Sad to hear they’re closing and was super disappointed when we were seated in the far back room where you cannot really hear the music. Overall the food was great (recommend the Brussels Sprouts starter-so damn good!) and our server Rose did a great job.

    We know they were running out of items because they are closing, but drinks were taking 15-20 mins. Also, we were told by our server that they only had 2 duck dishes left (which we wanted to order), but she didn’t return to take our order for 20-30 mins, so they were out by the time we could order

    Jay's used to be great. Now they are closinng. Went one last time and definitely regret it. Served undercooked mussels (literally half were raw, the other half were room temp.) Ordered $74 Filet Oscar style only to have to crack the crab legs ourselves. Crab was over cooked, and the shells were not hard. Couldn't even crack it and pull out the crab. Wife's steak was ordered medium, half of it came extremely rare. They offered to bring it up to temperature and take our drinks off the bill (of which they only took half of the drinks off.) It's unfortunate this will be the last memory we have of Jay's. Bartender was still awesome and made drinks that used to be on the menu years ago.

    Very sad that this restaurant closed down after so many years. It was one of the best “fancier” restaurants in FoCo.

    It was great to have the opportunity to say goodbye to Jay’s bistro before they close on January 31. They are an icon in Fort Collins Colorado and they will be missed. The wait staff and the service staff was five stars. Thanks for the many memories Jays bistro.
