Problem: I ate at JC for the first time yesterday for lunch and had the Variety Grill. While the portion size was more than enough, I was not impressed with the food whatsoever. The chicken was completely burned to the point that I couldn't eat several of the pieces. The rest of the meal was ok but had hardly any flavor. I had a coupon so I didn't want to complain. Also, the service was extremely slow, esp since we were the only ones in the entire restaurant!

Problem: Delicious ... great atmosphere ... great service!!! The value? Well, that's relative to what food costs in Las Vegas. I thought it was decent pricing for great food. We went for lunch on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. We did not have reservations. We were told the wait would be 15-30 mins but they buzzed us for a table within 5 mins. We were seated outside, near the sidewalk in the front, with a beautiful view of the Bellagio fountains (we were able to watch 2 fountain shows while seated). They serve you a mini-baguette while waiting for your meal. I loved it, the hubby didn't love it as much as I did; then again, I'm a breadie. I had the French Onion soup (perfect for the cold day we had - it's not something i'd recommend having in the middle of the day in summer). The Gruyere cheese on top of the soup was YUM! For an entree I ordered the Macaroni Gratin. It's not Kraft mac-n-cheese. This is adult macaroni with cream, butter, and more Gruyere! I shared this with the hubby who ordered the Steak Frites with the caramelized onioins and red wine sauce. I would've licked this sauce off the floor if the plate was dropped. It's that good! The frites were not pomme frites, which is what I was expecting. They were very small, thinly sliced french fries. Blah when paired with the delicious steak. It needed a heartier side. The frites would've been perfect with a burger. We were not able to order dessert, as we were stuffed. I believe the bill was around $50 for all the food we got. Also, we only had water (hangover nursing) and did not partake in the wine. The wine list was extensive and on a normal day, the wine would've been tested. This is the reason for the low food bill. Will we be returning? YES!!! We will never go to Vegas again without a stop at this lovely restaurant. I do recommend this for adults. I do not recommend this for children. Even though they have a children menu, I think taking your kids will ruin the experience for the other adult patrons. Take your kids to McDonalds or the buffet. Please do not take them to this restaurant!!! Let's leave this place to being intimate and romantic.

Problem: They have completely changed the menu - downgraded quality - service remains excellent - return to original menu - bad corporate decision.

Problem: It takes more than looks to make a restaurant successful. This place needs new management, poor service due to lack of servers. Know your surroundings, if you open a restaurant next to a ballgame be prepared for a crowd. I had the steak salad; Wow, it was a slice of very thin prime rib on a very basic salad. When I say thin, I mean so thin it just disappeared in the salad. $14?
