Decent food. Good pricing. Would go again.

Our first experienced in this restaurant some months ago we we stumbled upon it for a night cap and desert, which was out standing. I always meant to try the meals. Not being from that area. We made reservations. Upon arrival, (early) they placed us in a aisle table with not much room. Ok. So that's ok. I Soo wanted to have the special of the evening. Prime rib. But, finding out, it was like going to a famers market, one needs to walk up. As if a Buffett, pick your cut and then it weighed . Seems a little cheesy and a very odd in full service. I chose not to participate in that oddity. When we choose a full service restaurant. That what we would expect. I chose the fillet mignon at 55.00 for 10 ounces. medium rare, perfectly executed. I have always been dismayed by ala cart. With certain meals. Now if the side had been outstanding I can get over the fact that garlic mashed was 7.00. but, no, it was running cold and near taste less. The complimentary pop over bread, was RAW not cooked through . The table next to us sent it back. We chose just to let it slide. My dinner date loved the sea bass and said she was very pleased and was fair priced meal Service was par. Although we saw our waitress only 2 time. Once to take our order the other to give our bill. Not once stopping to ask if we needed anything or how was our experience. All in all our experience was just mediocre. I watched the prime rib station attendant. Not seeing one person while I was there enter,And seemed very bored. The poor staff having to maneuver over tight tables and chairs. On the plus note. The premise was clean yet a bit packed in. So in conclusion. I don't think we will make the drive again. Maybe someday if we are visiting the area again for a night camp and dessert again

Black Jax has great potential to be an Essex Gem. The food is delicious. The Popovers with smoked garlic is a unique and tasty treat. I live in the area and understand our working population for the service industry is dwindling, so the owner sadly has high turnover. The dining area is a bit packed in to maximize clientele which makes for a lively atmosphere, but the young novice staff struggle maneuvering around it. With that said, don’t let this opinion deter you from visiting! It is worth the visit! If you have any issues speak up, our young folks can’t learn if we don’t teach them! The owner is more than happy to rectify an issues and your meal will always be exquisite.

We love this place, great staff, great food, and lots of options even for non-meat eaters ... don't bypass this local treasure! Vegetarian options: Plenty and delicious!

Great food and service!
