That seems pretty harsh to me….when I think of a 3.5 star outta 5, I'm thinking a place like Juan's. It's good for what it is but not mind blowing…JS has a chance to be an elite restaurant in the city.

Overall, even with our semi-blunders last night, I still give it a 4.5 based on the ambience, attitude of service, value, overall food quality, the menu itself is badass…the place is just somewhere you go where everyone is having a good time…Besh looked like he was 21 again running around with a smile at every table…I think the food has nowhere to go but up as well.

eta: I guess I could see a 3.5 based solely on what we had last night (salty barbacoa, grizzle in carne asada, missed entries, etc.) my vote is more on excitement and potential.

Yeah, I think as long as you're not in a rush and willing to try a few different dishes you will enjoy JS. I would give it a 4-4.5 with room for improvement.

The menu certainly is enticing and I will be back for more research. Soon!

ETA: If you are willing to split food, that is the best way to dine at JS. We were able to try over 1/2 the taco list in our first trip. Go with a group and split a bunch of items.
