Jazzboline Restaurant & Bar Review
5010 Main St, Amherst, NY, United States
The Jazzboline restaurant provides a chic and modern dining atmosphere, combining contemporary American dishes with a hint of local flair.
We dined at the Jazzboline restaurant on May 11th. We made reservations ahead of time, and we were glad we did because the restaurant was very busy. The dining area was filled with groups of tables and couples, and the bar buzzed with energy. A lovely tall hostess led us to our table and seated us. A server brought us water and informed us that our actual server would be with us momentarily. Fifteen minutes later, our server had not yet arrived, but the previous server brought over the cocktails we had ordered and mentioned they were on the house—a nice touch. Jazzboline makes excellent Old Fashioneds and Espresso martinis, and they don’t skimp on the alcohol either.
Despite the restaurant being very busy, we appreciated that it was a team effort to ensure we didn’t feel neglected. Some restaurants don’t realize that it can be a tag team effort on some shifts to serve all clients so that they don’t feel forgotten. Jazzboline got it right, so kudos to them.
When our server finally arrived, she was attentive. I ordered the ravioli with a lobster tail, which was good. My girlfriend had the New York striploin steak with Brussels sprouts and fingerling potatoes. The star of the meal was absolutely the steak—a succulent medium-rare cut done to perfection.
Overall, it was a very good experience. Unbeknownst to me I
left my credit card behind after paying, and they called and left a message. The manager even ran over to the Reikart House hotel, where we were staying, the next day to return it. Thank you!
