I think you guys and your team are doing a fantastic job and congratulations on your opening. Guac: was a sceptic but loved the blueberry addition. Beautifully presented, dill, it worked. Walleye tacos: fish tacos are my go-to menu item. Loved the flavor on the grilled. The breaded fish was a bit clunky. I think it was just a large portion but most of the breading wanted to fall off so I just ate the fish without but does lose the spice. Pork belly: great flavor, beautiful presentation. Might have rendered a bit more but delicious. Watermelon radish perfect garnish. Sauces were all great, beautiful color and flavor. My husband is looking forward to trying your chicken which was off menu tonight. Our son does a similar named dish but we haven’t tried yet due to no COVID travel. Tortillas were great, I think I know who your Cleveland supplier may be and great choice. Drinks and cheesecake were great. I can tell you’ve put in the time developing bar menu. I look forward to working through the menu although that dragonfly will be my first choice. One thing: have you considered adding purse hooks under the bar? Guys don’t think of this but women appreciate. Again, congratulations!

All was pretty good. It was Taco Tues and prices were great. The street corn side and chips were very good. Nice menu with interesting entrees. We got margaritas because it was the special but I prefer wine. Understaffed but we got good service. My only recommendation would be to improve acoustics indoors and add some ambience outdoors.

This restaurant is such a refreshing change from the other locals that offer the same old same old on their menus. Service was great, the staff are very friendly. We've been there twice now and each time was enjoyable. The guac, the street corn, the shrimp, the pork belly bites are all fantastic. The salads were incredibly fresh. We ordered a slice to share of the Cake of the Moment both times and the desserts were inventive and deliciously executed. Please keep up the great work!!

Great new restaurant. Wonderful, artsy, different menu. Alcohol wasn't available yet (coming in a week), so that was a tiny disappointment. BUT...the food was excellent - so many things on menu we wanted to try, but not enough belly to try them all. Will definitely go back. Great social distancing, masks, dividers between tables, etc. (they also have outside dining) Special touches- hostess (silent partner) spent time chatting with us; 2nd silent partner came to table and chatted for five minutes. Chef came out and introduced himself and chatted for a few minutes. Our waitress was excellent. You feel very cared about in this restaurant. Everything is a positive for this wonderful new restaurant. What a great addition to the Catawba Island area.

Great place to meet/see friends, but you won't dine in privacy.

We really enjoyed our first trip to JJs table and bar! For the most part everyone in our party really enjoyed their meal! Only one person had a complaint and that was with the tacos. She said that the chicken in the buffalo taco was fatty and also her tacos were cold. For the price, we were disappointed with this but I would definitely come back!

Decor is great. Watermelon Basil drink is so delish I wanted to lick the glass clean. Tried both chicken tacos, the steak taco and shrimp taco. Both chicken tacos were not good. The chicken was like rubber. Steak and shrimp were flavorful. Guac was a great twist with blueberries and cheese on top. Enjoyed that change and would order again. Regarding the salsas being served; there was not enough and the only one that was good (and slightly spicy) was the pickled jalapeño one. The other two were blan and there was barley enough to put on a chip. I would recommend offering salsas to purchase as an appetizer because I would have gotten more of the jalapeño one. Service was great tho. Our waitress was pleasant and took good care of us.

We were very impressed with the food, but our server was a bit rude and inattentive. When she served our tacos, my daughter received the incorrect order. We were very polite about it, but she almost got into an argument with us over whether it was correct or not. She ended up bringing the chef over who confirmed that one of the tacos was not what we ordered. On a very nit-picky note, if one is going to work in a Mexican inspired restaurant, one should take the time to learn how to pronounce Ajillo.

Very loud inside-must do something to make less noisy. Server although polite was lacking cheerfulness. Salsa and chips, pastor chicken, street corn outstanding, but cheesecake exceeded expectations immensely. Co-owners and Chef Jorge came to table to chat and to ask how things were-a nice touch. We will definitely return and will highly recommend to others.

Need a bartender so the wait staff does not have to take on this duty. Wait staff seemed disorganized. We had dinner with another couple and the ticket got split in the kitchen so we could not eat together. Umbrellas at the tables outside would be nice. You're on the right track - we will be back.

We had the queso, tacos, and a burger. Queso, chips, and salsa were excellent. Street corn was pretty good. Fries we outrageously good. The Buffalo chicken taco meat was juicy and tasted great, but the rest of the flavors in the tacos including the shells were strange. It didn't taste bad, but it didn't taste great. The steak was juicy, but there was no sear. The burger was so juicy and cooked perfectly but had very little flavor or seasoning. Service was great. Loved the water glasses. I'm still not sure about how much we enjoyed the food. It was cooked well for the most part and was fresh and good quality, but the flavors were a little off. It was expensive, so for that kind of money, I feel like the food should be excellent. I am just not quite sold on it but will try again after they are open for a little while.

Green salsa was very good! Our entree portion was nicely sized, but the tacos were small. Flavor was fine, just expected more spice to it! The corn was very tasty!
