    We were really excited to try the Jockey. The place looks great and the menu offered a lot of what we like, but the food was really not good. The calamari was so overcooked and the texture like rubber. The tuna tartare did not taste fresh and was actually slimy. My husband's Caesar salad was the best item of the night and it was an average salad. We wanted to like it, but we won't be back.
