The food and service was great. The valets on a Saturday night leave a lot to be desired. Don't appear to be able to handle the traffic, especially the female.

I ate at Jillian's in February 2008. We were two people out for a Saturday night date. We were seated after a 30 second wait in the bar. Our table was poor, but okay- be sure not to sit at the 2-top immediately inside the restaurant to the left, as that table is situated in the walking path of travel... more

The wait staff is well trained, knowledgeable,... more

We had a really terrible dining experience here -- skip it. The decor looks like your grandmother's dining room, and the food is completely uninspired. Let's start with how we were greeted -- after making reservations well in advance, and going on a very dead (Tuesday) night, the Eurotrash Michael Bolton-lookalike maitre d tried to seat us in the bar,... more

This place has managed to get excellent reviews from the local press. This place is expensive. Dinner with a decent lowpriced wine would run well over $125.00 before tip. We were there in a party of 8, which admitedly makes it a little harder for the house. I'd never been there before, so I ordered the pork chops, which the... more
