I just came on here to see what other people thought of J Lounge because I?ve been and wasn?t happy. I wasn?t going to write a review but the review from ?frenchyfred? grabbed my attention. At 1st I found it a bit odd that the review was so over the top endorsing the place?how many times did ?frenchy? visit? He seems ready to sound off on every night of the week, lots of items and even lunch...wow he must have visited a lot. Here?s another explanation, the sommelier?WHO IS FRENCH?also happens to be named FREDERIC. FRENCH+FREDERIC=FRENCHYFRED. Hmmm it all makes sense now. No wonder frenchyfred likes the place so much. There?s also the 100% positive review from garie?who?s never reviewed anything else and seems to think J Lounge is the best place ever!! (yes, he likes to use lots of exclamation points). Come on. Does this sound real:?I really love the attention to detail, my girlfriend was so happy!...Everyone from the server, to our very own cocktail server gave us the attention we were looking for! If only more people knew about J Lounge, they would apprecitaie [sic, um is that French?] the gorgeous decor, delicious gourmet food, and beautiful views of the downtown skyline.? Hmm and it?s funny both of these reviews (frenchyfred + garie) came on THE SAME DAY. But really, this desperate effort by management is reflective of how the place is run. 1st they can?t speak English even when they?re trying to post fake positive reviews. This is how the server was when I went there for dinner two weeks ago. Not really sure if he spoke English because we didn?t get much attention. 2nd, they think that positive reviews can outweigh slow, inefficient, arrogant service. The place is superficially beautiful (we agree on that) but underneath..not so much. Other reviewers sum up the dinner section nicely-it is OVER PRICED. Third, they really do think they?re special. What they don?t understand is a special reputation has to be earned. Good luck management-keep the fake reviews coming
Pros: parking, beautiful inside, nice outdoor area
Cons: arrogant managers, slow inattentive service, food was boring & overpriced
