Customer Reviews
The service was amazing! It was also their first year birthday, which coincide with my birthday, and I don’t know about it. They were super nice to give us a ceviche and those little cupcakes with the candle for my birthday. Our servers and bartenders were super friendly and personable. we enjoyed our time definitely gonna be back. They have a special menu for birthday, which is a great price quality.
Nice little spot, with nice energy. It can be a little tight inside, but given the shape of the building, it's to be expected. Though some people say the portions are small, I felt they were adequate and not dissimilar to say Bastia. I'm not a huge oyster person, but the recommendations were very good, especially paired with the zhug. Everyone we interacted with was lovely, but we were especially appreciative of Jordan, who gave us the majority of our recommendations. We ate: - psychedelicate - stony shore - bad boys - broccolini caesar - yellowtail pastrami - crispy butterflied trout - baby back ribs
Pro: cool building / architecture, very friendly service, the Jaffa orange drink was super yummy, the food was good But: the food was good, not always great - for a total of $75 pP we were expecting a bit more. It’s quite pricey and several of the dishes did simply not convince us. I’ll come back for a drink in this cute spot, but probably not for food.
Came in today looking for a quick nibble and a beer or so I thought! I literally could not stop ordering. Everything was so delicious. The bartender gave me some recs that did not disappoint! I tried about half the varieties of oysters and boy they were fresh! the aunt dotty was my favorite Briney and sea forward. I also had the tuna pastrami stellar! Finally I got the burger and it’s definitely a fan favorite for a reason. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable I will be returning for the trout! Thanks guys
We went all out at the Jaffa Bar! Kate was amazing, as was every seafood dish we ordered. Each item was inventive, simple, and made with quality ingredients. All 4 of us walked away fully impressed with every aspect of our experience.
