    Restaurant is beautiful and love the atmosphere… Waitress was great and friendly, but she was just so overwhelmed! She was flying solo it seems for so many tables and needed help. Was not fair to her. Signature drinks are good, but off the menu not good. Apps are delicious! Get the cornbread and nachos!! Dinner was moderate. Ribs and chicken were very dry, pizza was luke warm…. Wouldn’t do dinner there again, but would definitely go back for a beer and apps.

    JBJ was a fun music filled place u would expect in Nashville on Broadway. Certainly don’t miss it. 2 footnotes. I had the catfish and for my taste it had way too much batter on. My wife had a flatbread and was very happy. Likewise the chips and salsa were very good. Second, not near enough servers. Which made the service slow and spotty at best. I’d come again and give it another try. So don’t not go on my say.

    Dreadful… service shockingly bad, food even worse. Jon should really see what’s going on in his bar. Place wasn’t even a 1/3 full while everywhere else on broadway is packed. That tells its own story. Don’t waste your time or money

    I had high expectations for dining here, and sadly it didn’t even come close. They had no olives for a martini, one of the sandwiches I ordered wasn’t available, our meals came and were lukewarm warm at best. The waitress barely checked on us as well. I wish they had been playing Bon Jovi’s music on the fourth floor while we were eating since there was no band. The band that was playing on the first floor was great though.

    There wasn’t anywhere to check in for our reservation. We walked all over and were finally seated. Our server was good but the Cobb salad was supposed to have grilled chicken and it was the tiniest little bits of chicken.

    I made reservations thru OpenTable and chose "front row" seating. There was also "back stage" seating. Which put you in the seating you wanted near the band. I was pretty upset when we were sent to the top floor and sat in the darkest bar with no band. Light music was playing. We requested seating near the band. There was plenty of seating on every level. We were stuck in nowhere land. But the food was fantastic. I had the filet mignon.
