last nite at the john dory
noticed the last review a while ago, so decided to update. wife, daughter in from san fran, & i decided to try & expected to be treated as cattle, but pleasantly surprised by how professional EVERYONE is/was, from the greeter to the busboys. somewhat expensive, but the ambiance, decor, quality won us over. last nite, youngish to slightly older crowd, music at reasonable levels (much appreciated), had to wait to be seated, but surprisingly was not bothered. will defintely return. 1 last note: as we left, everyone said thank you, which hard to tell whether sign of less traffic or the restaurant is being run for their clientele instead of the owners - nice touch!

Amazing
Food here is super fresh, delicious, and inventive. Expensive but you get what you pay for in NY and this place is well worth it! Excellent atmosphere and service too.

Why the lines?
After waiting an hour to eat these small plates in uncomfortable seats I realized this place has the city fooled. Why o why is this place so popular? People must have too much money or time or both.

Too much SALT!
My boyfriend and I were really excited for dinner here... and were very disappointed. While our waiter was terrific -- he couldn't make up for the incredibly salty food! To be more specific, the Carta de Musica appetizer and Oyster Pan Roast were basically inedible due to WAY too much salt! The rest of our dishes (including oysters) were just ok. There are better fish places in NYC...

Too cool for words
which is fine, if what you want in a restaurant is to be able to say you've been there. The seating is uncomfortable, the food is sickeningly rich (weird for a fish shack) and the prices are high, considering that you won't want to perch on those high stools for long. They push the Parker House rolls, which you have to pay for and which taste too yeasty, the result of pressured rising. A mostly unpleasant experience.

Cool
I love anything that has to do with the Ace Hotel and JDOB fits the bill - cool place with cute guys (think stylish hats, vests and sneakers), fun food and a celebrity chef. What's not to love?

Yay for JDOB!
This place is so cool - it is packed with really stylish people and they serve fun little plates. Make sure you have somebody to pay for you. Also, be ready to wait for a while, but it is a great experience.
