   Everything was great the only disappointment was the drinks. They were very weak compared to what we get at other restaurants.

   Dinner, service and ambiance were fantastic. Later the noise level was extremely high. Difficult to hear.

   We had a very good experience. My only complaint is they don’t give free refills on drinks. I ordered a club soda and they charged me $3 for it with no refills. I think they should just raise their prices if necessary but not nickel and dime their customers. It just leaves such a bad taste in my mouth.

   Overall very good. Noise level makes it very hard to hear all at a large table of 10 which we had. It would have been better in a more remote location. Everyone commented on how good the food was and enjoyed the meal. The service was also good.

   The jockey had good food and drink and great ambience. Had a reservation but they were running behind so we did still have to wait about 20 minutes to be sat. A little bit loud and crowded but overall I would go back!

   The food was delicious - the service was dreadful! We gathered here to celebrate birthdays for two people so we were hoping for a nice evening. Sadly our poor server was overwhelmed. It looked like the hostess/ management seated all of her tables at the same time (at least 5 tables). It took forever for her to even take our orders & when the food came out it was only the orders for half the table- the rest of us waited another 15 minutes for our food. My husband received his appetizer & main course at the same time. The whole experience was a hot mess and NOT the celebration we had hoped for. The noise level was very, very loud so conversation was difficult. That being said - it was a Saturday night. This is not the place to go for a quiet dinner & conversation.

   Long waits even if you have a reservation. Food is okay, and there is nothing to rave about—high prices for mediocre food.

    My experience was amazing! First time being back from McKenzies the restaurant is amazing. The calamari was outstanding as was my shrimp and scallop curry dish. Our server Emily was awesome and very knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations such as the apple spring rolls we had for dessert. 10/10 would come back!
