I have never written a review before, but I have never had this bad of a meal and service before!\r

This was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant in Austin. After we were seated, it took 15 minutes to be greeted by a waitress. Then, she proceeded to take our food order before offering us a drink... Once we ordered a bottle of wine it took another 15 minutes (and us to ask for it again) for it to be delivered to our table. \r

We were dining at Jezebel for a friend's birthday so it was a special dinner. My meal was awful to say the least. How can you mess up crab cakes??? I ordered the crab cakes for my meal. The FIRST set of crab cakes came out beautiful until I took my second bite. The first bite was nice and warm. The second bite (towards the middle of the crab cake) was COLD!!! I mean just came out of the fridge cold! So, I sent them back. They were nice and brought out a fresh order of crab cakes. Giving them the benefit of the doubt I tried again. They appeared to be very hot and looked yummy, but once again they were ICE COLD on the inside. Not once, but TWICE!!! Needless to say, I sent them back... AGAIN! A new waiter came over after I sent them back and asked if I wanted anything else on the menu. By this time, the other members in our party were about done and my meal was ruined entirely, so I told him not to worry about it. \r

There are 100 other restaurants in Austin that are a million times better for your money! \r

I feel I must add that although the service on the part of the waitress' was awful, the manager (who started less than 2 weeks ago) tried to redeem his restaurant by taking my meal off of the bill along with the bottle of wine that we waited forever for. Very nice on his part; although I would have NEVER paid for my meal anyway. \r

I am glad to see that other people had a nice dining experience, but this is one I will never suggest anyone try.
Cons: everything about our meal from the service to the actual meal
