Editorial Review for Jimmy Mak's – by Michael Rudin

In Short
This jazz supper club regularly showcases tight, enthusiastic jazz from local and national touring acts. Patrons can dine on Greek and American fare at one of the tables surrounding the stage. There's also a full bar with a rec room vibe, complete with pool tables, jukebox and wide-screen TVs. The menu features pita bread and chunks of feta on a mezza plate, spanakopita and baklava. Other dishes include blackened pork tenderloin and stuffed chicken.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I am impressed and satisfied with all the hard-working waitress at Jimmy Mak's. I don't even know how they manage hundreds of customers everyday while I can find only 4 waitresses or sometimes less! I enjoyed the excellent customer service, wine list, and an authentic jazz.

Pros: Service, Waitress

My boyfriend made reservations for us here on my 21st birthday. He told them it was my birthday and everything. I was so excited to go because I love jazz and have heard great thing about the regular house band. The music was great, however the service was not. Our waitress was un friendly, my salmon was overcooked and they didn't even mention anything about it being my birthday. Then I saw them bring out somekind of birthday desert. I got all excited thinking it was for me but then the took it to someone two tables down.They sat us in the corner, by the window which was not that great. My boyfreind didn't leave a tip becuase he specifically told them it was my birthday and our waitress was less than satisfactory. Then they over charged his card for our entry fee and they also added their own tip, which is illegal. I wont be going back.

Pros: Great house band.

Cons: Service, food, and ambience.
