Always a great dining experience here. Food is cooked consistently every time, portions are good and service is top notch. Drinks never go empty, plates cleared when done, and a good amount of server check backs without interfering with your dinner conversations.

The Perfect Anniversary Dinner! ❤️🥂 My husband and I went to Trilby’s to celebrate our anniversary, and we seriously couldn’t have picked a better place! From the moment we walked in, everything was amazing. The host was so welcoming and made us feel special right away. Our server, Kristin, was absolutely wonderful! She was super sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without constantly interrupting our date night. She really made the whole experience even better! We started with the crab au gratin and beef tips, and OMG, both were SO good! For dinner, I had the chicken cordon bleu, and my husband ordered the steak frites. Everything was delicious, and we were both so happy with our choices! We also tried the espresso martini and Ocean Mist mojito, which were amazing! The drinks were honestly the perfect addition to our anniversary dinner. Of course, we couldn’t leave without dessert, so we ordered the bananas Foster, and it was the perfect way to end our night! 😍 We also had the pleasure of meeting Nick, the manager, who made sure everything was going great. You can definitely tell he cares about his guests and the experience they have. Between the food, cocktails, atmosphere, and amazing service, Trilby’s made our anniversary feel extra special. It’s not often that you go somewhere and everything from beginning to end is this good. Huge thank you to Kristin, Nick, and the host for making our night so memorable! We will definitely be back! ❤️🥂

Ely’s has been my Jackson area favorite for many years. Quality of their servers, atmosphere and consistency of food quality is superb. Last night was our first visit to Jackson in over a year and we were delighted to find Ely’s continues to meet and exceed every expectation. Still #1 !
