    The overall appeal of TJ’s is, if you can’t get into anything else, at least you are in the Jefferson, in a corner, where your server will forget you. The excuse we kept getting was, there was an event going on for Christmas and the team for TJ’s of course gets pulled for this, and people like us, who had reservations, get to wait about an hour and five minutes for an appetizer. The menu is literally bar food, even though I’ve been to lounges where more selections than 5 different sandwiches. Our server didn’t care about being there you could see it in her demeanor, attitude and literally by the way she just was non-existent. In the over two hours it took to get anything, there were maybe three other tables there, so it was never busy in the lounge area. The price, 20 bucks for a burger, that wasn’t made how I wanted, asked for swiss cheese, they couldn’t get it that night, but admitted to having gruyere but they went with American to be on the “safe side” - so I got a 20 dollar Big Mac with some sad looking fruits…at the Jefferson. The highlight was the appetizer, the crab dip they have was great, just get two of those and avoid a bad sandwich.

    Private Party event in the lobby, made it very crowded and loud. The inside of the restaurant was quieter. Service was good, a little slow with the dinner rush and crowd. But very friendly. Lobster roll was delish, lots of lobster meat. However lost points for the butternut squash fettuccine. It was bland, no taste, dry, not enough sauce for the noodles. Do not recommend. We loved the crab dip for appetizer and the lobster roll. Ambiance was full of holiday magic!

    Menu was limited. Waited over an hour for our food. Just mediocre. A 31% tip was automatically added.

    Our order was taken quickly. However it took almost 50 minutes to get our food. This is the 2nd time this has happened in as many weeks. A shame. Lamaire is not at all like that

    Food and decor were excellent. Our server was disappointing. He forgot our drinks until we reminded him. At the end, he took our leftovers to box to go, but he never brought it back despite three subsequent visits to our table. He was polite but clearly underprepared for the job.

    Service was excellent. Steak sandwich was excellent, shrimp fettuccini the shrimp was a little too much old bay, and the noodles a lttile dry and sticky.
