" Fantastic seafood! Came here based on a friend's recommendation, and it did not disappoint! Our waiter was enthusiastic and made great suggestions. The crab udon ramen was unique and packed with flavor, and the lobster mac and cheese was creamy and rich. The place was buzzing, contributing to a lively atmosphere. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Jay's, but it didn't quite stack up compared to other seafood joints I've been to. The food was middle of the road, and the portion size was rather small for its price. The decor felt outdated which dampened the experience. The service was decent, at least. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fun dining experience! I loved the lively atmosphere of the restaurant. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations. The shrimp tacos were delish, and my husband particularly enjoyed the crab cakes. We will definitely be recommending Jay's to our friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Jay's Crab Boil exceeded my expectations! The oysters were perfectly shucked, fresh, and delicious. The crab boil we tried was rich in flavor and had generous portions. The ambiance was lively and vibrant, but the service could have been smoother—there were moments it felt rushed. Overall, an enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just came back from celebrating a birthday at Jay's Crab Boil, and I'm thrilled with the whole experience! The atmosphere was perfect for our festive mood, with upbeat music and friendly staff. I ordered the shrimp boil and added extra sausage—it was spectacular! Just a tad spicy for my taste, but I loved every bite. We will absolutely be making this a new family tradition. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to dining at Jay's for ages, but sadly, the experience fell short of my expectations. The seafood platter we ordered seemed a bit overpriced for the portion size, and the flavors weren't as vibrant as I had hoped. The decor was dated and could use a facelift. Service was friendly enough, but we had to wait quite a while for our drinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" Jay's has a nice vibe and decent food but could improve on the execution. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits, which were hearty, but my wife's dish was not up to the same level. The service was just okay—not fast, but not bad either. I may give them another try since the seafood boil looks tempting. " (*Curated Review*)
