We've been coming to Jameson's for at least 30 years- and have never been disappointed. This was the first time coming Christmas Eve night and oh my goodness, the place was packed! It almost seemed like they had overbooked reservations. But, we were seated within 20 minutes of our reservation. The service was excellent, our server was delightful. Food delicious as always. Thank you all who gave up their Christmas Eve to work.
