    Food was decent, but had to constantly remind our waiter for our requests (more ketchup, napkins, drink refills).

    Upscale Fridays. A little pricey but consistent food. Great for kids and adults.

    Server was very accomodating and on top of everything. Two of us wanted to split entrees and they split them for us in the kitchen which I've never experienced. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious, especially my fav the rosemary skewered scallops. Will definitely be back.

    Ordered the ahi tuna salad, portion was big and it was very tasty. Dressing had a nice kick to it. The fish and french fries were excellent too, the fish was cooked perfectly and flaky. The peanut butter ice cream was very rich and the portion was huge (size of a big slice of cake plus a cup of whipped cream!) so good to share with 3-4 persons.

    We ordered hamburgers medium rare. Obviously your cooks. Do not know what this means.  we’ve had this experience before at other restaurants. The hamburgers were delivered, medium well! I could not eat mine. Did not send it back since we wanted to leave the restaurant and knew it would take a long time to get my order back. My husband has lost his sense of taste and smell due to Parkinson’s disease. He did not realize how bad they were. The waitresses excuse was the restaurant was quite busy,and the chef was backed up. No excuse for not knowing what medium rare means!

    I love the crunch salad as there are SO many flavors & textures...My husband typically gets the jambalaya. Another reason we frequent NYAJs is the extensive options for gluten free me!
