We had a wonderful time at Jatoba & left the following review on Google:

We had dinner at Jatoba to celebrate our 20th anniversary. This was our first visit here, being from out of town. We were greeted warmly & received a complimentary glass of champagne for the occasion. It set a really nice tone to the evening.

We love sharing plates & ordered a total of 5 dishes & 1 dessert. Our server made excellent recommendations to help us choose. My husband had the sea urchin with caviar & LOVED it ( I don't like sea urchin or caviar, so am not a good judge for this dish :-). My favourite was the filet mignon, which came with a sauce & vegetables that were simply dreamy. Dessert was a blondie with caramel & marshmallow cream - delicious.

The food at Jatoba is delicious & thoughtfully prepared. The service is remarkable: personable, professional, prompt, smooth, knowledgeable. & the ambiance is the right mix of lively & relaxed. Be prepared for a higher bill, especially if you order dishes with premium ingredients, & have several drinks or a bottle of wine. The only regret is that we could not sit in the terrace room with the red lanterns, maybe next time.

Although the food was delicious the waiter was somewhat rude & never smiled. He had an attitude when answering questions about the menu when my girlfriend asked him a question. He made her feel uncomfortable.

L'ambiance & la qualité du repas étaient au rendez-vous cependant le menu n'est pas descriptif de l'assiette. On indique la présence de riz & légumes & on avait pas dans notre assiette. Je suis prête à payer pour une cuisine différente mais je m'attends à une portion digne d'un plat principal.
Si ça n'avait pas été de cet aspect je recommanderais votre restaurant malheureusement je n'y retournerai pas & je déconseillerai votre restaurant.

Fantastic evening with absolutely delicious food!!
Only downside is the price... 400$ for 2 persons with a bottle of wine (wine & dishes were all from the least expensive ones...) is too much even though the food is delicious....

Bel endroit, super ambiance, excellent service, délicieux cocktails & la nourriture y est exceptionnelle! Le filet mignon & le plat de homard valent à eux seuls le détour. Les dumplings sont savoureux, bien relevés. Parfait pour un souper en amoureux ou une bonne bouffe entre amis.
