- foodI can always find just the right dish for my mood. The food is fresh and well prepared, and the presentation is lovely. The service and atmosphere were also rated highly.
- drinksManagement appeared MIA, neither checking on their diners nor helping their waitstaff. That said, the drinks that did arrive were, for the most part, really good (cannot recommend the 75 nor the watered down bourbon that should have been on the rocks but instead sat at the bar waiting to be served until long after the ice had melted), and the food was well received. The ribeye and the chicken milanese were both very tasty.
- friesThe happy hour menu was exactly what I was looking for. I thoroughly enjoyed the great burger and crispy fries. The service was a standout; the staff was attentive but not intrusive.

- foodMy experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the food wasn't particularly spectacular, the prices were quite high, with cocktails costing around $15. However, I would recommend visiting during their happy hour, which runs from 3 pm to 6 pm.

- friesVisibly burned, with the telltale smell of reused oil, and the first bite confirmed it: dry, hard, and bitter
- ingredientsThe menu on Google is a lie, as they only serve smash burgers. These burgers tasted like burnt, old Burger King but with worse ingredients. The overall taste was try and disgusting, with shredded iceberg lettuce and what seemed like thousand island dressing.
- mealThe ingredients were also different from the pictures advertised, including the fries, bun, lettuce, patties, and coffee. I questioned if this was what passes for a meal.

Frequently criticized
- serviceWe visited as a small group late on a Sunday afternoon, and the restaurant was relatively empty. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow, which significantly prolonged our dining experience. The prices seemed high for the quality of the food, with the cheesecake, in particular, appearing to be pre-made.
- DisappointingDisappointing.
- attitudeSame issue, same attitude. No effort to fix the mistake
- drinksOur server was new and overwhelmed, and apparently, the restaurant was severely understaffed that evening. It took some of our drinks over an hour to come out (many were incorrect or just misidentified), and some in our party never actually got the drinks they did order. The food also took an exceptionally long time to arrive, with starters inexplicably coming either with or after some of the entrees.

Frequently criticized
- bathroomsThey could be more mindful of portion sizes and presentation. The restaurant's layout isn't well-thought-out for attracting customers beyond hotel patrons, and the bathrooms are inside the hotel, requiring a walk through the lobby. A sign at the street entrance indicating "self-seat" would be helpful, as the bartender can't easily see patrons entering due to the layout.

Some even reported being double charged, leading to frustration and a feeling of poor value.

Pricey but worth it during happy hour
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the food wasn't particularly spectacular, the prices were quite high, with cocktails costing around $15. However, I would recommend visiting during their happy hour, which runs from 3 pm to 6 pm.
During this time, you can get a draft beer for $6 and 3 chicken strips for $13. This makes it a much more affordable option.

Rude Staff, Terrible Experience
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. The staff, including the waiter's employees and manager, were super super rude and showed no respect. They were completely indifferent to anything I said, whether it was over the phone or in person.
I would not recommend wasting your time here.

Wonderful Food and Excellent Service!
I'm currently staying at the Silver Cloud and am two weeks out of a liver transplant. My daughter and I have visited Jimmy's a few times, and the food is wonderful and the service is excellent. They are always sending me home to my room with extra iced tea.
It is very hard for me to give a 5-star rating, but this place truly deserves it. We always receive thank yous from the staff on the way out the door, right up to the chef.

Disappointing Smash Burgers and Unsalted Fries
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The menu on Google is a lie, as they only serve smash burgers. These burgers tasted like burnt, old Burger King but with worse ingredients.
The overall taste was try and disgusting, with shredded iceberg lettuce and what seemed like thousand island dressing. To make matters worse, the fries were unsalted. The reviewer also rated Food, Service, and Atmosphere as 1, with a Price per person of $20–30.
