"My family has been coming to this restaurant for more than 15 years, have celebrated many birthdays and special occasions here, I even worked here as a server, so it’s really disappointing for me to have to write this review. I came here recently after visiting family in town and have to admit both the service and food quality have absolutely plummeted. On the food Shrinkflation is real here, especially after having eaten here for years. Food servings have almost been halved a salad or pasta dish that took up almost the entire plate now covers about half. I could’ve gotten over this if the rattlesnake pasta had actually been edible and if the server had cared at all. We didn’t even complain the server came by and asked how the food was a few minutes after it was served. The noodles were completely over cooked and there was so much salt neither of us could eat more than 2 bites. Not to mention my prime rib steak was rubbery and dry, even though it was ordered medium rare. When we mentioned it was “.just okay,” the server literally said “Okay!” and smiled and walked away. Having worked here before, I know this is a completely unacceptable response. We were not looking to get comped anything we literally just wanted edible food. The server did not care to check on us again for the rest of service until he brought us the check, obviously intentional since he knew we weren’t happy with the food. We won’t be coming here anymore unfortunately after more than 100 visits over a decade. It’s not even that expensive, but I wouldn’t spend my money or time here after the quality of food and service we received. I hope Cooper’s Hawk across the street will start appreciating my family’s business for the next decade."

I think I subconsciously avoided this place for years simply because I knew it was a chain; I try to eat local.

As always, the highlight of the meal was the prime rib. That's the main reason I occasionally stop for dinner at Jerico's. The blue cheese salad dressing is so-so and tastes like a glass, but the wine portions are quite generous, although the wine list is pretty dated and conventional. And at 77, I just have to have qualified to reach the minimum age for entry! Still, the prime rib is the best in town.! View menu

Going to this restaurant was a terrible experience. Our waitress was one of the worst I've ever had. We waited 15 minutes for drinks. When she finally came to take our order, she said she forgot her pen. She disappeared for another 20 minutes. The food was cold and tasteless. At one point my brother said my grandmother's steaks were better and that she was the worst cook in the family. To top it off, the waitress never came back with my change when I paid my bill, she pocketed it. If it had been more money I would have complained right away, but it was $ 8.

Walked in and we were seated almost immediately. Atmosphere was very nice, the service was phenomenal. I ordered the Maui ribeye and my wife ordered the rotisserie chicken. My wife said the chicken was very good, and the smash potatoes were nicely done as well. The martini she ordered was a little stronger than she would have liked, but she dosnt drink that often so she isn't really used to stronger drinks. I was disappointed with the ribeye. The crust wasn't so much a crust as it was more of a char, it was a little over cooked for medium rare but still rare enough that I was fine with it. The problem came with the marinade, it was overly sweet and extremely overpowering. The entire meal I c...

"Date night Saturday night. Our reservation was for 7pm, but we were falling asleep, so luckily they were able to accommodate at 6:15. : Only a few tables were occupied. Tall ceilings, nice ambiance, would have maybe liked some additional lighting such as candle light (or faux candle light . The weather outside was lovely and they opened the doors which gave way to French doors with iron railing. they were pretty! Our server mentions that the menu changes pretty frequently so we may not see on the menu what we read online. Fine by me, as you know from my reviews, I 'm always up for a food adventure. I had a gin based cocktail which tasted balanced. Spring Mushroom Mousseline, Pistachio and Drunken Fruit with Date Pecan bread. Mousseline served in a glass votive like ramekin (much like you 'd see foie , was tasty, creamy, albeit a little gritty from the pistachios. The bread came like a small loaf, almost precut (could have been sliced all the way through , with macerated cherry/cranberry compote. For a vegetarian option like foie, we were pleased and ate the entire portion. Scotch Olives with Saffron Aioli. These olives were HOT. No joke. A bit of, could you please blow on this before I burn my tongue? But, they were briny on the inside, with a perfectly coated fried crunch outside, and so yum once the heat dissipated. Nice touch on the aioli. Only 4 of them unfortunately... that 's 2.25 each! Rosemary Grilled Lamb Chops with Seedy Broccolini Salad with Cherries. Wood grilled carrots and pomegranate molasses. $39. Nice presentation. Crunchy but soft carrots, broccolini cooked perfectly. Seemed a bit on the small side as far as meat goes. Two double lollipops. Cooked perfect, and beautiful gamey taste, just not too much bang for the buck. Grilled Sturgeon, warm rice salad, fiddlehead ferns, snap peas. Not a fan of the glaze ontop, the fish portion was fine, but lackluster. I 'm a huge sucker for fiddlehead ferns, and I also know that they can be overcooked within seconds, which these were just slightly overcooked, lacked the snap in your teeth you get from a bright green cooked correctly one. Oh well. With everything in one bite, it was good, just not amazing. We shared the Mexican hot chocolate warm brownie/cake in a cup. The foam was nice, but the inside really reminded me of a fudgy cake you can buy in the grocery store, add water, and nuke in the microwave. Next time, happy to go back just for drinks and apps. Skip the more expensive main courses on their menu."
