   Booked based on a "best of" list and extremely lack luster experience. Food was either over or under seasoned. Server did her best, and apologized for a poor experience.

   I am giving Jardin 5 stars for excellent service. Food was just so so. Ordered the lamb burger and it was a bit over cooked and dry. Portions seemed small for the prices. Nice ambiance but not a great place for a quiet conversation. Noise carries and there were several parties with young screaming children

   Great setting, wonderful staff and very fun menu. We had to take a box home because the portions were so generous.

   I’ve had amazing evenings at Jardin and then there was last night. The menu change is disappointing. Items seem heavy. I was excited for deviled eggs but then realized they weren’t! Cutting a hard-boiled egg in half and drizzling sauce on it is NOT deviled! We blended the yolk ourselves at the table with a fork and this was an improvement. Why cheat on a classic, not really buying a deconstructed deviled-egg.

   Waitress was very friendly, I ordered the Mediterranean bowl, I didn’t care for the dressing and part of my food was over cooked. The children’s chicken dinner was very tender and seasoned well. I would give this venue another try.

    Food was decent, but service was not so great. I think they were low on service people, understandable. Took more than 15 min. To get a drink and it wasn’t busy. Had to keep asking waiter. I will return to try once again & try the outside seating.

    Service was not what you would expect at a Dady restaurant. Our party of 5 was crammed into a table of 4 with the restaurant completely open. When we asked to move to larger table they said “sure, go wherever you want”. Food was really good, but just the lack of quality service (and lack of cleanliness of floor and table) just left us disappointed with what could have been a great experience.

    Wasn’t busy when we were there so we really enjoyed being able to chat in normal voices. We arrived on time and the table was T ready even though reservation was made. They quickly set it up. We were very disappointed with the Chef Salad-just a wedge of lettuce with some cashews on it, no meats or extras. Also disappointment with the Turkey avocado Sammy. There was a tiny little bit of avocado in the spread. Would have thought sliced avocados. Peach Belinis were fantastic!

    Our first time here and will definitely return. The entire experience was tremendous from aesthetic/ambiance to our dining. The appetizers and entrees we shared were delicious. Presentation was also fabulous. Such attention to detail in a beautiful establishment. Loved it! We have already recommended to friends and family! Can’t wait to go back!

    A pleasant but mixed experience. Was recommended by a fellow foodie, so we tried it. Amazing Rising Sun cocktail with my favorite spice: Saffron! So many layers of flavor! The saffron chicken dish, however, had no saffron whatsoever. The mezze dishes are petite but definitely the highlights here. Home baked pita was incredible. Stuffed dates in very exotic chili oil had me almost licking the plate. The arancini were flavor bombshells. Will definitely be back to give it another try. The large plates are quite generous. I am a fan of the Dady restaurants, especially the ones located in notable spots like the museum and this one in the botanical garden. Open kitchen means you get to have an olfactory sampling of all the menu. Expect your clothes to hold on to the those scents for a while.

    Great experience for ambience and food. The "Greek Hummus" with Naan is great as an appetizer for several people or it could easily serve as a main course for one person. It's a large serving! The restaurant bakes the Naan bread onsite. Good stuff.

    There was no indication when the reservation was made that it would be for outdoor seating - it was over 90 degrees when we arrived at 11:30am, we were first sat with our backs in the sun, upon our request, we were moved to a more shaded table - the hostess said they could not accommodate indoor seating even though there were plenty of empty tables. The service started off pleasant but quickly went downhill - an appetizer was ordered as an entrée (and noted as such to the server) but it was served with the appetizers for the table. Our second round of drinks took over 10 minutes, again the restaurant was not overly busy. Two entrees were served while three others waited over 20 minutes, this was noted to the bartenders as our server could not be found. The other three entrees finally arrived but the other three guests were already done eating - this did not make for good first impression. There was no explanation or apology for this oversight. The food was fantastic and in the end, all six guests said we will give the restaurant another try.

    We were one of 2 tables that were seated outdoors and it seems they were short staffed for the evening. We went in greeted for about 15 minutes. It’s ok because the area is beautiful in the evenings and we knew the food was going to be good. Drinks were not correct when they were brought out and the server seemed a little flustered. It didn’t ruin our date, but we know to expect slow service since this is the second time dining there and the service was about the same the previous time.

    I was on time for my reservation for lunch on a Sunday. We were promptly seated as there was not an overwhelming crowd of people by any means. After sitting there for literally 25 minutes (I kept count of the time after about 10 minutes) without water or a visit to our table, my husband got someone’s attention and let him know we had not been seen. He let us know he would get someone. Another 7 minutes later, a waitress came over to our area but went to a table that had been seated almost 15 minutes after us. This was the point in which I decided to get up and leave. Since I left 25 minutes into my reservation I am being reported as a “now show” which can affect my ability to make reservations on Open Table. I am so disappointed in this experience and expect more from a Jason Dady restaurant. I want to remind anyone reading that the crowd was NOT overwhelming by any means (several open tables, no one really sitting outside) and they seemed to have a reasonable amount of people to be able to cover the floor. I do not think this was an issue of being short staffed. This also isn’t a unique experience for Jardin- this is the 3rd time I’ve visited and the 3rd time I’ve had awful service. As much as I love the food- I can’t return.

    La comida normal, no había pizza y nos avisaron que no había 15 mins después de haberla pedido. El mesero nos atendió bastante mal, muy amable pero se le olvidaba todo, no marcó bien los tiempos de la comida y las cuatro personas que íbamos comimos a destiempo. Muy decepcionante

    Unfortunately the food has declined since opening and service is not mentally present. Short rib was old, tough and over cooked. Broth was fair. 4 of the 6 selections were incomplete to descriptions. As example, figs not stuffed with white cheddar. Asked waitress and she was surprised they were stuffed. Could hear her talk to a cook and they laughed as he stated that he forgot to stuff them. Wait staff and cooks were focused on personal discussions during our dinner and while not mean, just going through the motions as if ready to be elsewhere. We paid our bill and left prior to dessert. Will not return, shame for good when first opened. Horribly overpriced for the less than average food and service.

    Excellent salads, awesome dressings. Did not care for the "deviled" eggs appetizer, as the yolk part was simply soft boiled egg. Great service.
