My husband and I frequent Justin's as often as possible. We have visited for dinner for two and had as many as 6 others to join us. The wait staff is unsurpassed in our area, very knowledgable and professional while still being very personable. The food is better than any I have tried at any upstate restaurant (foot note - I used to be a huge fan of Soby's, however over the years their food and service has suffered to the extent that we no longer go there - ever). The service is not at all rushed and for the first time in a long time, I have not had my entree served to me while still eating a salad or appetizer. This is one of my definitions for exceptional service (why do so many other establishments struggle with this so?). I found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality of food that is served - unlike so many others recently opened in our upstate area.
We always are treated like family and have even had the opportunity to try new menu items before they make it to the menu! Do try the Scallops Dijon - the best and one of our "try out" items, we order it everytime as an appetizer. The salads are great, the sides outstanding and the steaks and fish are exceptional. The wine list is vast and reasonably priced. If you're not sure which to order, ask your server, they really know their stuff.
I consider myself a well-traveled person, am in New York City and New Jersey quite a bit for work and I have yet to find a restaurant as lovely as Justin's. The atmosphere is relaxed and the decor is inviting. You won't be sorry going here for anything from a business meeting to a lovely dinner for two.
Pros: EVERYTHING! Best service, best quality of food in our whole upstate area.
Cons: Honestly can't think of any, unless they start to get too busy and we have a hard time getting a reservation!
