This place is incredible. I love a great Ahi Tuna and it's undeniably tasty at J Peters. For $11.99 you can get a huge portion of a Ahi Tuna cooked to order, medium rare is the only way to go for Ahi if you've never order it - just trust me - on a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion, and tartar sauce (a little odd for Ahi Tuna, but not bad....I dip it for this sandwich since I don't want it for every bite). It also comes with a side and I usually grab sweet potato waffle fries with their homemade honey butter and it's incredible. Their cheesy mashed potatoes are delicious too.but the fish is a solid 8 oz portion I would say...probably a $7-$8 piece if you'd buy it fresh at any Harris Teeter or Publix, $9+ if you get it at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Same size fish on the Ahi Tuna Salad and the salad is very big. It's $13.99 and quite tasty. I prefer Oil & Vinegar or Balsamic and keep whatever toppings you like - and yes, the Tuna should remain medium rare as the most.
If you split an entree with anyone and want to get s soup or whatnot for yourself begin either, the She Crab Bisque is sooooo tasty and rich. It's real crab and a creamy, rich base. Their side salads also plentiful, but if you want something out of the box that you can get everywhere, try the soup and either the Ahi Tuna salad or the Ahi Tuna sandwich. Enjoy! Remember - medium rare at MOST!!! Rare is best (and still warm and cooked), but newbies will probably like medium rare better!
