I like Jump. I've liked it since the 1990s. It's never really slid. Prices have gone up. Sure. The bar isn't quite the phalanx of power suited lawyers and bankers drinking it up after the market is down that it used to be. There's nothing about it that says romantic.
I had the strip steak this time around. Flavorful with some nice baked potatoes hiding under the steak. We shared fries and onion rings. Jumps one weakness is their dipping sauces/spreads for their fries, onion rings, and bread basket are uninspired.
I'm dinging them a star this time around. Usually Jump has about 2 or 3 people working your table but a couple times we felt we were looking for our waiter. And he missed writing down an item.
Did engage in a short but interesting conversation about Jeremy Irons and The Borgias. So few people seem to recall the Jeremy Irons horror movie Dead Ringers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094964/). Even trying to sum up the movie is difficult. "Twin gynecologists to upper class women. Irons plays both. One goes crazy and starts inventing horrific 'devices' for use down there because he thinks women are 'changing'..." Luckily I brought up the movie after I finished my raw steak.
