| - We have visited JSC at least once every time that we've been to Vegas - always for lunch, always at the bar. We have never made (nor needed) a reservation. The décor is reminiscent of a refined private club, although it is not at all stuffy. There are televisions in the bar, but they are neither loud nor intrusive. Several time we have enjoyed the same bartender, who is just the right combination of friendly and professional.
I can see that dinner might be pricey, but lunch is reasonable, likely because we usually order two appetizers each, or a sandwich and an appetizer. My favourite is the "Second Mortgage", which includes stone crab, jumbo shrimp, lobster cocktail and shrimp and scallop ceviche served cracked on ice. It was approximately sixteen dollars on our last trip.
As I have allergies and cannot eat the ceviche, they always put on the side for my dining companion. Allergy alert: I always explain it in detail, and they always get it right. Recognizing that we might share, when his food comes out, they point out what I cannot have from his plate, unsolicited. Those of you with allergies will recognize these as two signs of a good restaurant. They will provide you with a lovely bread basket on request.
Do order a gin-and-tonic, as they use a premium tonic (Stirrings), and it does make a difference.
Certainly one of our favourite places in Vegas, and we highly recommend it.
