My wife and I rarely get out together without kids. When we do, we prefer to go to upscale restaurants to treat ourselves and be pampered. We own an online gourmet food store: Gourmet Grocery Online, so we like to checkout exquisite gourmet dining establishments in town.\r

We finally had a ""date night"", and I thought after seeing Jezebel's website and how they tout of great things, naturally we were excited. We went on a Friday night (8/31/07). I should have known that after waiting 15 mins before we had any contact from a waiter that the evening was headed south. The restaurant was not full. We saw our waiter carry on casual conversation with another waiter for at least 10 mins before he approached our table to take a drink order. The service was slow an inadequate for an ""upscale"" establishment. Our table was wobbly and needed a few sugar packets under a table leg to keep it level.\r

All of the food was decent. We started off with foie gras. We also ordered the Chateaubriand and lamb shank. We skipped dessert because we were so disgusted with the service. We were also disappointed with the wine selection. Yes they have a large wine list, but I personally like to try different wines during my meal. Jezebel only offers 4 or 5 wines by the glass. Plan on spending over $100.00 for a decent wine. \r

This is a want-to-be five-star establishment. Ranks more like a two-star. We have had better service and food at Trulucks, Reeds, Sullivan?s, etc. \r

The kicker is the bathroom! Floor to ceiling Astro Turf!! So tacky! Bring your putter. \r

All in all, not worth the money we spent.
Pros: Decent food
Cons: Horrible service
