Steak, Lamb, and Octopus were cooked to perfection and expertly paired with intensely flavorful sides and sauces. Currant cheesecake was out of this world. My new favorite in town!

Our visit to Janet Lynn's was, in a word, superb! By adding a few additional words I will say that our expectations were exceeded; and they were pretty high to begin with.The environment was clean, tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully arranged.Our Server was prompt, easy going, knowledgeable, and attentive in the just the right way.The food for our party of three was brought at the same time by additional Staff so we could begin eating at the same time; a thoughtful touch not often seen.I started with a "Winter Salad." It was delightful! Featuring organic greens, grilled pear, fresh clementine, black garlic dressing, toasted walnuts, and shaved pecorino cheese, it pretty much covered all the bases. Lovely.Next, I tried the JLB Burger. I often have a burger when I visit a new place because I'm a burger guy and because you can tell much from how a burger is prepared and presented (there's really no where for a patty to hide). It was delicious!! The patty was cooked to perfection (no pink for me please); moist and so tasty. This excellent sandwich was adorned with; house smoked bacon, caramelized onions, white cheddar, roasted garlic aioli, lettuce tomato, pickles, hand-cut frites, served on a freshly baked sesame seed brioche bun. 'Nuff said.I gave in to dessert when I heard our Server say, "Vanilla Cheesecake", and, "Creme Anglaise." Spectacular!No, I did not tally up the calories. However, this was a meal that I'll talk about for a while. I will also endeavour to return - sooner than later.

This was my first visit to JLB and I was Very Impressed! The service was exceptional! On the encouragement of my friend, I had the calamari to start and meatloaf as my main. It was the Best Meatloaf Ever!! I make an excellent meatloaf, but mine does not come close to the Perfection achieved by JLB's chef! The atmosphere was perfect for a lunch or dinner. I will definitely be back!! Thanks!!

WOW. What an incredible experience. Everything I ate was heaven in my mouth, and presented beautifully. The service was excellent, and I got to sit at the 'kitchen bar' and watch the chef's work their magic. Thanks JLB!
