We went for Easter lunch/brunch. We both enjoyed one of the brunch specials, which provided a nice variety. The remainder of the menu was small, but looked good. Pricing was within the normal range for the area. There was a good sized energetic crowd, but the noise wasn't overwhelming. Decor is very nice. Wait staff were competent, friendly, and attentive. We will likely visit again and would recommend this place.

We were so excited to try this restaurant after seeing several positive reviews online and just being curious about the changeover from the previous restaurant. We couldn’t be more pleased at the cocktails appetizers and main courses that we enjoyed this evening. The ambience is literally perfect, and we actually loved the liveliness of the restaurant because it was quite busy and quite full, but it was never so loud that you couldn’t hear yourself which we really appreciated so good acoustics!! We sat by the fireplace, which was so fun. My calamari was excellent as was my seafood curry and the portions were very good and I have lunch for tomorrow! My spouse loved the truffle tater tots! The blood orange Cosmo was so delicious as was the gin spritz. I rarely get two drinks, but tonight was worth it!! Thank you for being literally right down the street we can’t wait to return!! We were especially pleased at how excellent Zoe was our wait staff And the owner of the establishment came over to say hello and see how we enjoyed everything. This really shows how much they care about being a success and then also being able to please customers!

Great dining experience and atmosphere! I’ve celebrated my birthday and Valentine’s Day here and my husband and I can’t wait to return! I loved the Valentine’s Day special menu and drinks. The steaks, lamb egg rolls, truffle fries, and brownie sundae were delicious!

Stopped here for dinner before a show at People’s Light Theater. At 5:30 on a Thursday this place was busy. Beautifully decorated dining and bar space with a comfortable yet energetic vibe. Beer and cocktails are very good. Menus is creative with many choices to please most people. Hostess and waitresses are young (and noticeably not a lot of experience) but still do a good job with service. Oyster should be served much colder. Served on ice but somehow they were on the cool but not cold side as expected. Our food was tasty and flavorful with portions on the smaller side but still satisfying. Price point is slightly above average. Definitely worth a visit.

This establishment has fantastic ambiance and decor. Would be a perfect place for a happy hour. The food options are very diverse. Please note that they do not offer soft drinks or sweet tea! Personally, I find tiny glasses and a shared bottle of water to be annoying with a large group of people. The food was pretty good!

Our first time here and we were not disappointed! Our waitress Christie was great She was on top of everything without being intrusive. Very personable. Our food was very good. Prices were on par with quantity and quality. We will come again in the spring to try the outdoor seating

From the drinks to the food to the service to the atmosphere... everything was exceptional at my experience at the Jockey Tavern. Zoe, our waitress, was so attentive and the food came out very timely! Definitely recommend the passionfruit paloma, brisket nachos, and honey bourbon wings! Will definitely be back soon.

First time trying this out and 10/10! Our experience was so amazing from making a reservation, food, service and more! Great environment, friendly and clean. Food was amazing, we did the Calamari and brisket nachos for our apps, very well flavored and the calamari was cooked perfectly. For dinner we each got something different and they each were very flavorable, cooked correctly and absolutely delicious. We liked that they had drinks that you don't typically see at other restaurants. I'm sure you could ask for another restaurant to make it, but here it was on the menu. The one that stood out the most was a Moscow mule with a twist, it was made with bourbon and it was amazing. I can never look at a normal Moscow mule the same! If you haven't already tried this place go go go! Make a reservation to secure your spot! Thank you Jockey Tavern for making Father's Day extra special for my dad!
