" Had been visiting Jay's regularly, but my latest experience was disappointing. The food, while decent, seemed to lack the freshness I remember. My seafood boil was lukewarm at best, and service was hit or miss with our server forgetting multiple items. The atmosphere felt chaotic, which added to our frustration. I might need to reconsider my frequent visits if this continues. " (*Curated Review*)

" The worst seafood experience I've had. Our food was cold and the portions were not appropriately sized for the price. Our waiter seemed disinterested which was unfortunate because we were celebrating a special occasion. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was tasty, the service left something to be desired. It took far too long for our orders to be taken and drinks to be refilled. I do appreciate the friendly demeanor of the staff, but it just wasn't efficient. The seafood was fresh but not notable enough to return for just that. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I liked the food, particularly the shrimp, it wasn't enough to make me want to come back, as the service lagged significantly. The atmosphere was lively, but it also felt a bit chaotic due to too many staff running around. I hope they can work on improving their service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I had an enjoyable date night at Jay's. The fried calamari was excellent, and I devoured the crab chowder. The atmosphere was inviting, with good music and a friendly crowd. The only downside was the wait time for our food, which was longer than expected, but the freshness made up for it. We'll definitely be back for another date night! " (*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*)
