JAY'S SEAFOOD REVIEWS

We’ve been to Jay’s numerous times and have always been satisfied. Today, we finally realized it was Dayton’s best restaurant! I had the blackened walleye—delicious! My wife had a rare fillet and it was cooked perfectly. We normally go to the Oakwood Club or the Pine Club for steaks, but this one was even better. We love the atmosphere and Tandra’s service was top-notch, not oppressive but we never felt neglected. We’ll definitely be going back more often, and now not just for the fish.

I have been here twice now, the first my fiancé's birthday and the second for the birthday of my fiancé's mother. Both times were lovely due to the excellent atmosphere, superb conduct of the staff, and of course the food. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fancy place to dine.

Wonderful place for dinner. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a great dining experience. Highly recommend this restaurant for celebrating your special event.

BONEFISH GRILL DAYTON REVIEWS

My first time here and I must say this was my best and favorite dining experience ever because of our server, Steven. His table side serving manners were the best I have ever experienced and topped our experiences at Flemings and other fancy steakhouses across states. Our food was just as amazing, cooked and plated perfectly even with substitutions made. The chef even came out to our table to check on our experience and comped our dessert too! Could not have been happier with our experience and we will definitely be back again soon.

Just wanted to take a moment to share what an awesome experience my wife and I had at the Bonefish Grill 2818 Miamisburg Dr. Dayton Ohio. It was Mother's Day, so we decided last minute to stop in, and our server Steven made our visit very special. He was very friendly, engaging and humorous even in the midst of the Mother's Day traffic. The food was excellent however it was Steven's warm yet professional attention to detail that made this Mother's Day extra special.

First time in, in awhile! The new tables and chairs minus the paper on the tables changes the atmosphere! Great pumpkin ravioli appetizers and the pasta dishes were awesome! Ask for Moe and you’ll get awesome service too.

RED LOBSTER DAYTON REVIEWS

Juan, our waiter provided outstanding service, his attention to detail is unmatched. I attended a graduation celebration dinner with a large group, everyone was totally impressed with his service, each meal was served hot and fresh. He memorize food and drink orders for everyone and delivered. Hats off to Juan and the Red Lobster staff at Miller Lane. They were kind enough to put tablecloths and decorations on the tables for us, prior to our arrival. Highly recommend this location if you are looking for red carpet service.

The service was quick and amazing. Very polite and kind waitress. The food was prepared quickly it was hot and the taste was amazing. After the meal the manager asked for anything that could be improved, items that could be added, etc. He was extremely nice, caring and looking to have the best customer experience possible. I’ve eaten at several Red Lobsters across the country as I travel and have never experienced anything close to what I did at this one at 6500 Miller Ln in Dayton, OH. It was superb, perfect.

Came in at 6 pm on Valentine’s Day, got sat quickly and got my appetizers 5 minutes after ordering them. I sat at the bar and my bartender Emily was fantastic, knew the whole menu and great wine recommendations. Very quick, friendly, and accurate. Food came out delicious and quick too. Amazing experience.
