J&J's is good if you've got a lot of time and aren't famished before you get there. The food is average, but I do give them credit for being around through thick and thin.

J&J has been one of our favorites for years. The atmosphere is lively and comfortable despite being quite small. The service efficient and attentive. There are plenty of choices for seafood and fish, all super fresh and tasty whether prepared simply or with one of J&J's twists. Be sure to start with the Gazpacho, it's one of the best ever!

Didn't see this on the local list of possibilities but on the way from dinner one night noticed that this small place seemed to be hopping. Decided to try it the next night and we were not disappointed. Except for the fact that it was a bit chilly out and we didn't have reservations. On a Tuesday! Anyway, we were... More

If you haven't tried J&J's coconut curry shrimp and scallops over risotto, you are really missing out. We ate at the bar on Saturday night, March 9, and it was an incredible experience. Tommy was shucking away like a pro and did a bang up job on the blue point oysters we devoured. The potato crusted scallop appetizer and the... More

Littleneck clams were perfectly chilled and very fresh. The nut-crusted snapper is the best you will ever have. All other dishes were prepared perfectly and the service was very professional. Save room for the key lime pie which is off the charts!

Really nice little restaurant in the middle of the city. Service is excellent (not too "american sweet" but professional and caring), menu is not big - but there is everything you can wish for - mainly sea food but also meat. Homemade desserts are huge plus after the dinner. Wine-list is carefully selected. Nice atmosphere - personal touch, as place... More

My wife and I went there 5:30 pm on Feb 28th for dinner. While no tables inside were occupied at the time, without reservations, they would only allow us to sit at the bar or at an outside street table. We chose to sit at the bar. My wife had a salad with grilled samon. I had a seafood marinara... More

Mmmm excellent seafood , the best for consistent dinners. The grouper is a small portion but always tasty. The mussels in white wine w toasts are the best , always hot and succulent broth. Live the bar to eat at. Sometimes it can be a bit noises for conversation with a group. Sitting outside is odd because the tables slant... More

This is a family-run place, quite small, but with an extensive menu ranging from sandwiches, soups, salads, to full dinners. The staff will remember you if you are a repeat customer, and they are wonderful. The food is super fresh, and beautifully presented.
