    We return to this restaurant because the food is excellent, the service is great, the value is surprisingly terrific. My only complaint is that the noise volume seems much louder than most other restaurants.

    We have gotten and enjoyed the NY strip in the past. Cut seemed smaller and not as tender for both of us. Also, we enjoyed the deviled eggs, but you only get 4 halves, for $13.00. Portion was very underwhelming. Service was great. I’ll give it one last try.

    Had a great night. We celebrated a friend’s birthday and instead of an annoying all-staff proclamation routine, it was a candle in the dessert with a card signed by the whole staff. The food was great! It was a little crowded when we got there but as the room thinned out, it was much more comfortable. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed it.

    This is our second visit. This time my husband and I went during happy hour. We had several small plates. The oysters were really good and shucked perfectly. The mussels marinara were really delish. I would not recommend the deviled eggs, although tasty 1 1/2 eggs for $9 is a little overboard. We certainly will make Jockey one of our go tos. Madison was our Server and she was great. So was Natalie.

    We were seated in the little room behind the bar. It was a perfect spot for the 10 of us to be able to talk and catch up without a lot of background noise. Our waitress was great as was the food.
