Based on their website we expected JimmyV's to be comparable to Sullivans, The Angus Barn or Ruth Chris. In retrospect, we should have selected any of those restaurants. My husband took me the JimmyV's for my birthday. I ordered their rib eye medium rare. When it arrived the rib eye was only medium rare in the center, the rest was medium well. Sent it back. Changed to Prime Rib. I told the waitress that if it was not medium rare I did not want it. So someone other than the waitress brings a medium towards medium well slice of prime rib to the table and suggested that I just cut into it to see. Anyone that eats prime rib knows that if it is not the correct color on the outside the inside is no better. (if this was an exception rather than the rule for them that slice of Prime Rib would have never left the kitchen. In a good restaurant, regardless of their prices, poor quality food does not leave the kitchen.) I refused and sent it back. So I had creamed spinach for my birthday dinner. My husband ordered a New York strip medium and it was slightly over cooked so he ate his. The waitress did not pre-bus the salad plates nor did she remove my creamed spinach side dish. Never offered desert or coffee. After all of this the manager never came by to talk to us and they did not even comp my iced tea which again tells me this is the ""norm"" for them.
