Jmorgan's Steakhouse - MONTPELIER

Service was very slow. Food good. Lobster club so so- salad huge.

The food was outstanding! It's a nice and quiet environment, upscale and was the perfect 5 year anniversary celebratory dinner. We each had a beverage and enjoyed the loaded potato chips for an appetizer. I had the bacon wrapped filet mignon and my husband had the shrimp scampi. For dessert we shared a creme brulee. However, our waitress did not fit the restaurant. I'm not sure if she was new but honestly she was less than good. She was very quiet and we could hardly hear her. It took us 20 minutes after being seated for her to come over and take our drink order. She never once asked if my steak was cooked to my liking, nor did she ask how our meal was. The food was outstanding and definitely not part of the problem. She then somehow trips over her own feet and almost spills my husband dinner in his lap, moving the table and spilling some water in the process. Again, not a problem accidents happen but that was the only time she smiled at us. Again the food was absolutely delicious, I also don't mind paying the added in gratuity, but I think 20% was a bit much for the service she hardly provided. I understand waitresses make their my money by tips, but you also have to earn that tip. Maybe waitressing isn't her calling but for the moment she's at her job it is and she should be providing top notch service for a meal as expensive and elegant as J Morgan's provides. I come from a family of restaurants, and we would have tipped her more if she had given more than the bare minimum service I would expect from McDonald's. With that being said, we would absolutely be back for another celebratory dinner, however We'll be requesting a different waitress. For a meal that costs 80$ a person I expected better service.

Astoundingly mediocre! Solidly okay! Best steak place in town... but the only steak place in town...

I ordered the Montreal ribeye and my friend ordered the regular ribeye. Both of then were very thin, probably around 1/2 thick. I asked for medium rare and my steak was so over cooked that the waiter said something before I even could. It was well done, without question. The waiter was decent and offered a new steak to me, which I denied because I knew it would have been another 20-30 min wait, and ended up getting us one free desert. I'm not high maintenence by any stretch, and never send food back, but for a place that advertises as a premier steakhouse and our steaks costing $39, I was very disappointed in J Morgans.

Had the Fruit de Mer spectacular. The sauce made it!
