                                                        Jam Restaurant was fabulous! My husband and I had a wonderful lunch to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we walked through the entrance, we felt relaxed. The music, the service and the food exceeded our expectations. Our main meals and desserts were absolutely divine!!! Looking forward to our next visit to Jam Restaurant.

                                                        Their lunch special menu is sensational and at $45.00 for 2 courses. seriously good value for money. We both had the Chicken Caesar Salad, quite possibly the best one I've ever had.

                                                        The company, service and wine along with the French Amuse & Entrée at Jam were all outstanding so we were really looking forward to our walk across the road to Bridgewater hoping that the Italian Main and Dessert were equally outstanding. Fortunately the company, service and wine were still outstanding because the Italian main was too chewy and dry and the Italian Dessert lacked flavour and was a bit boring and we left somewhat disappointed

                                                        Food was good but restaurant was very noisy. Was a very late night and second restaurant was not good.

                                                        We had never been to Jam, but definitely should’ve gone sooner! The service was fantastic, the staff were attentive but not pushy and were extremely polite and affable. Our meals were served promptly, with a nice little break between entree and main. The food was outstanding, with the arancini and calamari entrees being star dishes. We honestly could not find fault with any of our meals. It was reasonably priced, with a very calm and inviting atmosphere, we will definitely be returning to try out some of the other food on offer.
