I brought my fiance to Jujube to celebrate his birthday, in October. We are both ""foodies"" and enjoy nothing more than going out for a nice dinner. With our first visit to Jujube, we were not disappointed! We were seated promptly, according to our reservation time. Our waitress was attentive, and even intuitive. She was accessible, without hovering. We started out evening with cocktails off of the menu; a Chi for me, and a Jujube Manhattan for him. We were pleased with our drinks - I loved the Chi. (All ingredients were fresh!) After drinks, we shared a noodle dish. I can't remember the name, it was shrimp in a sweet and spicy brown sauce. It was very flavorful, and filling! We were so pleased with the noodle dish, we thought it couldn't get any better. Thankfully, we were wrong! We both enjoyed our entrees immensely. I had the Crab Cake entree. He had the Duck in plum sauce. We couldn't have been more pleased! Everything was so unique, fresh, and delicious! After dinner, we had another drink at the bar. We spoke at length with the bartender, who was engaging and friendly, and increbibly knowledgeable about the area. (Single ladies - he's also very attractive!) Eventually, the chef/owner came out. He took the time out of his evening to sit and speak with us - perfect strangers. He is obviously extremely passionate about what he does and expressed his appreciation for open-minded people who walk into his restaurant with no expectations. Jujube is unlike any other asian-inspired restaurant in the area! When we left, he encouraged us to call ahead next time, so he can create a meal for us of things not on the menu. We are planning on returning soon, and we will do just that - trust the chef to create something unique specifically for us. Open your mind, and visit Jujube. It was truly a spectacular experience!
