We asked for vegetarian loaded nachos which was okaish but the chips were crispy! Mac and cheese was delicious a little gravy or cheese could have tasted better. Overall good food and draft beers. I’d recommend this place for vegetarian ?

Truffle fries were the best fries I’ve ever had. Fish and chips were good too. Everyone loved their food and service was great.

We visited for happy hour and loved it. The space, the vibe, the view. All amazing. And the beer was good too, but we knew it would be living in Dexter where Jolly Pumpkin originated.

My wife and I stopped at JP for lunch while tasting wines at various wineries around the Old Mission Peninsula! We were very impressed with the rustic atmosphere inside and had wonderful service. The truffle fries were amazing and the club sandwich was very yummy! We will be back!!

Staff and bar gets an A+. My pulled pork nachos were HEAVILY seasoned with chili powder, as was the salsa. Terrible. Chili powder does not belong on pulled pork nachos ever. Or in salsa. The hand pulled mushroom pizza was a perfect circle and looked suspiciously like a frozen pizza. Tasted like one too… we live locally and have been to JP several times but l think this is our last time, as each time the food quality has declined. Also the Cuban sandwich was more like a grilled ham and cheese on a hoagie bun. We even asked ahead of ordering if it was a pressed sandwich and was assured it was. It was a little squished but not cooked in a press like a Cuban should be, its an essential component of s Cuban sandwich.

I got takeout for the Mac and cheese and it felt like it needed to be cooked more. The rest was all well done. Good service and the location and inside the as really cool.

Ate at a table nestled up next to the big stone fireplace. Service was very good. Food was excellent, and the sun was just setting as we pulled out of the parking lot. At this time of year, it sets directly across from the restaurant. Beautiful!

Lovely laid-back spot with great menu choices and decent beer. The server was very kind and the food arrived quickly and was delicious.The only thing that wasn't great is the lower level restrooms for both men and women were out of service. I'm not sure for how long. I witnessed an elderly woman try to go up the stairs to use the restroom, but it 2 steps up and many more to go she deemed the steep route too risky and she had to leave. Luckily they had yet to order. I hope they found somewhere more accommodating nearby. Be wary of restroom status if it's high on your priority list. I have horrible knees and I didn't even want to try those stairs and decided to wait for better restroom opportunity.
