    We loved our experience here. Staff were very attentive but not overbearing. We went during lunch and it was a delicious lunch . I failed to take a photo of the lemon cheesecake I ordered- it is worth the $16. Highly recommend and I wish I could recall my servers name she was outstanding ❤️❤️❤️❤️, The Lemon Drop Martini is amazing, I love that they give you the martini glass and the extra poured from the shaker. The rotisserie chicken is the most flavorful I believe Ive ever had and the portion size is definitely shareable. It’s 1/2 a chicken, with double mashed potatoes. I ordered a side of broccoli that was steamed just right as well. Definitely 10 out of 10!!, Overall, this restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly service and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. Parking is easy and free. I would like to point out a few things that made this experience a little less enticing. My old fashioned was in a very heavy, medium-sized glass, which made the pour look very small. It just felt odd to drink from this glass as an avid consumer of this style of drink. Also, the large ice cube actually melted entirety before I could finish it which I have never had happen before. I literally walked from the bar to my table and before my steak arrived the cube was gone, which watered down my cocktail. I'm not sure if they use half size cubes, but there was plenty of room in that glass for a full sized cube to make that drink better. The drink tasted fine, but using a shorter, lighter glass with a large cube would make it more consistent with the swanky style of that cocktail. Another thing that was odd, was we ordered the lobster topped steak special for the night at $48. It came out with a full plate of french fries, like a meal from a diner. It may just be my opinion, but if we are going to order a meal that is $50, some elevated sides to accompany lobster may be more appropriate than fries. They were cold, and the steak needed more seasoning, so that didn't help either. I did have the filet mignon prepared medium rare and it was perfect. Again, it could have also had more flavor to the meat, but for $46 it was great with a loaded baked potato and Béarnaise sauce. The best part was the lemon cheesecake with raspberry sauce. It was refreshing and delicious. I definitely recommend that with an espresso martini. It was a little on the creamy side, but made well to accompany a dessert. Overall, this restaurant is perfect to celebrate a special occasion or grab a bottle of wine from their huge selection. It just doesn't compare steak wise to other more elevated restaurants in the area. The menu selections were very diverse with many different options, that they didn't really specialize in one thing., Luxurious French Dip Sarnie filled to the brim with generous slices of thinly sliced delicious meat. The horseradish sauce is simply the best in Tampa Bay . The rotisserie chicken had a succulent outside golden brown exterior & so very tasty on the inside falling off the bone . Cesar salad was chilled to perfection . Stetson Cody our waiter delivered impeccable service he has been employed @ JA for a decade. Happy waiter Happy food Happy place ., The best restaurant in Tampa!!! My boyfriend and I have been trying to find a good place to eat at and this has so far been the absolute best. The mac and cheese is INSANE literally the best i’ve ever had. He only eats chicken tenders and fries and he’s VERY picky and he said these were the best chicken tenders and fries he’s had the entire time we’ve been in Tampa. Our waitress was so sweet and our food came out so fast.
