    Which salad, chopped delicious
    Rodricka B.

    I had a great visit to Link & Pin after work! Tatiana made the experience even better by remembering my drink from my last visit almost three weeks ago. That personal touch made me feel so welcomed. It was Wine Wednesday, so all glasses of wine were half off, which was a great bonus. I ordered the lobster roll, and it was delicious. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was relaxing and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back--not just for the fresh food, but for the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, Tatiana, for making the experience so memorable!

    First timer here. Thankfully we were dressed appropriately to just walk in because our plan was to go to a different restaurant beside it that was closed for the holiday. Smart casual is accurate as their website suggest for attite. This is a place you want to dine at for an elevated experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior ambiance is sultry, romantic and poosh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Yes, it's expensive. Again, ideal for special occasions. My wedge salad was over priced for what was plated. Beautiful presentation. Filled the plate size wise, but come on can I get a more sizable portion of lettuce?? I won't complain about the taste. And I didn't complain about the portion size. That's just me wanting more It was good. My husband and I shared a plate of truffle french fries. So yummy!!!!! He enjoyed a burger with mac & cheese. Our waiters's name was Andy. Two thumbs up for his service and knowledge of the menu.

    Overcooked ribeye that had to be sent back.

    Last night, my wife and I visited Link & Pin for the first time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon arrival, we were immediately impressed by the atmosphere. The décor was absolutely our style mid-century influences, rich wood, talk ceilings, a beautiful bar, large windows, and a warm, inviting ambiance. The music playlist was also excellent and added to the overall experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were especially impressed by our server, Adastee. She was attentive, helpful, friendly, and delightfully quirky in the best way. She genuinely enhanced our evening and provided some of the best service we've had in a long time. We started with the bread appetizer, and it was outstanding. The bread was fresh-baked, served with a rich honey butter, and finished with just the right touch of salt. It was an excellent start to the meal. We also shared a bowl of lobster bisque. My wife really enjoyed it. For me, it was a bit earthier than I prefer and not quite as creamy and rich as other lobster bisques I've had, but that's purely a matter of personal taste. Unfortunately, this is where the evening stopped being exceptional. My wife ordered the lobster roll. The presentation was beautiful, and the portion size was generous. However, the lobster itself was overcooked, rubbery, and lacked flavor. The accompanying fries were delicious, but the lobster was disappointing. I ordered the Delmonico ribeye with mashed potatoes. I requested the steak medium rare, but it arrived well done with an overly charred exterior. I rarely send food back, but when you're spending around $60 on a premium cut of steak, it's hard to overlook that level of overcooking. To their credit, Adastee immediately noticed the issue before I even said anything, and the manager came by twice to apologize and check on us. Unfortunately, it took nearly 20 minutes for a replacement steak to arrive. During that time, my mashed potatoes remained on the table, so by the time the new steak arrived, the potatoes were cold and my wife had essentially finished her meal. While the replacement steak was prepared better, it was closer to medium than medium rare and still lacked flavor. I'm not sure if the restaurant intentionally seasons its steaks lightly and expects guests to add their own seasoning, but the steak was surprisingly bland and tougher than expected. They did bring a small side if warm potatoes back For comparison, we frequently dine at 131 Main just down the road, and their ribeye is consistently juicy, flavorful, tender, and cooked exactly as ordered. We really wanted to love Link & Pin, but both of our entrées fell short of expectations. That said, because we genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere, appreciated the excellent service, and loved the overall vibe of the restaurant, we're willing to give it another try. Perhaps this was simply an off night, and we'll explore other menu options on a future visit. I was initially leaning toward a three-star review. However, when the bill arrived, nothing had been adjusted despite the steak being sent back, the lengthy delay, and the cold sides that resulted. That ultimately lowered my rating to two stars. I was expecting them to offer to comp an appetizer or a discount off of our next visit or a dessert or something, but nothing had been adjusted which surprised me at this level of restaurant. We're hopeful our next visit will be a better experience, and if it is, we'll gladly adjust our review. To those planning a visit, I sincerely hope your nosh is a little better than ours was.

    Looked forward to this place for restaurant week and was a bit disappointed. The Caesar salad lacked flavor and wasn't anything special. The filet also had no flavor and the mashed tasted like absolutely nothing. The salads that came on our plate were covered in blue cheese, which I can't stand. So I barely ate it. The drinks and chocolate cake (which was $7 more) were the highlight of the night. The server was great. Patient and really friendly. The stocky, middle aged man walking the floor all night, coming up to tables multiple times asking how everything is was....odd. Leave us alone to enjoy our meal. Go run food or drinks or maybe help season those awful mashed potatoes.

    Unfortunately, my experience tonight was not great. I had some coworkers in from out of town and thought it would be nice to take them to one of my favorite restaurants. It was their first time so I had to explain a lot of things to them because our waitress did not even ask if it was our first time dining there. My steak as usual was not cooked right so once again manager had to come over take the steak back and try again. I'm starting to be convinced that this is not the spot to order steaks from. But here's what really got me messed up. I love their Bread with the honey butter and the sea salt on top so I ordered some to go and I have done this before. There was three of us so our server did not take the time to quality check the orders because she bagged my order to my coworker because when I got home and opened up my boxes, I did not have my bread. I had Instead the general Taos chicken that was supposed to go to my friend so I spent close to $300 and ordered some extra bread to bring home but got none of that so not happy at all. How about you all do quality checks moving forward before bagging up our stuff!!!!!!!!!

    Went in tonight with my husband for a nice dinner, and this place has been on my "must-try" list for a while now... and let me tell you--it did NOT disappoint [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment we walked in, the space itself set the tone. It's absolutely beautiful inside--warm, cozy, and intimate in a way that makes you feel like you've stepped into a little escape Perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening out[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We were seated pretty quickly, which is always a great start. Our server, Ashlene, was an absolute gem Her sweet personality and warm smile made the whole experience even better. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and gave some really great recommendations (we love a server who knows their stuff ). We kicked things off with drinks I had the spiced cherry mule, and my husband ordered a margarita--both were genuinely delicious and well-made. For starters, we shared the artisan bread (perfectly done, soft with just the right texture ) and a shrimp cocktail. The only tiny note: the cocktail sauce was a little on the bitter/strong side, so just go easy with it When it came time for the main course, my husband kept it light, but I went with Ashlene's recommendation--the Cajun chicken pasta--and WOW They make their pasta fresh (HELLO YES ), and it was flavorful, creamy, and not dry at all. To wrap things up, we shared the Budino for dessert and it was the perfect sweet ending. We both loved it. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food, and standout service--definitely a spot we'll be coming back to

    This was my third time here and probably my favorite! We came here for brunch. We got the mimosa tray and it was amazing! They had so many different flavors and fruit to put it. Totally worth it! My husband and I both got burgers. Pretty basic but the burgers were amazing!! We upgraded to truffle fries and I'm so glad we did. The aioli was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is relaxing and nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter was amazing. He was so friendly and fun to talk to. We would love to come back a fourth time!

    I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I've been to the old South End location but just for drinks; I was excited to finally try the food. I came here the day before our engagement party with my fiance and his Mom. But then 2 of my best friends came and surprised me!! It was a really special time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was almost empty, which was also a surprise but welcomed. It was like we had the whole place to ourselves.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the ambiance and lowlighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fast and friendly. I ordered the brussels, a salad with delicious scallops nd the tuna tacos. I really enjoyed all of the food and drinks. Will definitely be back soon!!

    We took my in-laws to dinner at Link & Pin while they were in town visiting. Our table was cute and comfortable. Their specialty is steak but all the food was well prepared and tasty. I ordered the 'yard bird' aka roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and it was absolutely delicious! My husband enjoyed the smoked old fashioned and found the filet to be very tender. Our service started off attentive, but as they got busier it felt as if things were a bit understaffed.

    Truffle fries

    This meal was perfect in every way. The food was all delicious and fair portions. The berry lemon drop was the best cocktail I've ever had. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the ambiance is a bit fancy, very calm, cozy, and an overall great vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bread Pudding
    Donna L.

    I had a fantastic dinner. The service and food were top tier. Went for an early dinner with a friend. Servers and wait staff were so attentive!Daniela was our server and she was so pleasant, kind and just amazing. She was thoughtful in her recommendations based on our ask but her personal experience and they were all on point. Spicy margarita and berry Lemon drop started our meal off. We had the artisan bread and honey butter. It was to died for. The kale salad with feta and lemon vinaigrette and tomatoes. The yard bird chicken had a lemon based. The Cajun chicken pasta with onions peppers and sausage wasn't as spicy as I wanted to be but still good nonetheless. Ended it off with the bed pudding that wasn't too sweet but just right. I can't wait to go back.

    Filet with mashed potatoes and salad
    Charlotte W.

    We went here for my niece's birthday. It just happened to be restaurant week so we did a combination of restaurant week and regular menu. I ordered the wedge salad to start it had lots of blue cheese and was a good size portion. The 6 oz. Filet from the restaurant week menu. It was so flavorful and tender. Honestly one of the best steaks I've had in a long time! The rolls were very soft and the honey butter was so good! The brussel sprouts were very flavorful. Everything was delicious and i would definitely come back! Our waiter was super friendly and did a great job!

    General Tso's Cauliflower
    Daemon W.

    My wife and daughter took me to this restaurant for Father's Day and, in my humble opinion, they made an excellent choice. We arrived around 5:00pm and, even though the place was somewhat crowded, the noise level was tolerable. Our server was Tomyka, and she was fantastic. She was attentive, efficient and very personable. I'd noticed a beautiful painting on the roof over the bar, and she proceeded to give us the history of the painting and how it came to be in the restaurant. Then, she proceeded to give us a history of the restaurant! I started my meal with General Tso's Cauliflower (you have to try this!). My entree was the Simply Seasoned Salmon, which was very good. Due to the times we currently live in, the price of 3 meals was a little higher than expected, but I'm pretty sure that's the case everywhere. Regardless, we will definitely be back!

    We have a reservation with another couple for tomorrow night but we also have a 2.5 year old that will be tagging along that I am nervous about bringing for dinner? Is this the type of environment a toddler would be welcome in?

    Suggest checking with the restaurant. Might be buzzy and loud, and not sure if they have high chairs if the toddler needs one. I suspect that, as an upscale family place, they would welcome a well-behaved, well-entertained toddler (as I'm sure… 

    Same chocolate cake they've had since opening (and same as Mickey and Mooch had)?

    Yes and yes! We have the same chocolate cake since opening and the same as Micky and Mooch had... We hope to see you soon!

    What cheeses do you have for the dinner burger?

    Hi Amanda! This burger is prepared with Swiss cheese, but if you would like, we could substitute a shredded cheddar or feta cheese. We recommend the swiss as it really complements the other ingredients on this dish!

We didn't use it on this visit, but they offer valet service, which is useful because of the parking congestion that can occur at Birkdale. My first impression was that this is a very beautiful restaurant. There is lots of lighting, thoughtful artistic pieces, and it has an airy, aquatic ambiance. Even the restrooms were lovely! There is an outdoor patio, as well as a front dining area where the bar is, and a rear dining area with visibility to the kitchen. The front and rear areas are separated by a glass waterfall sign bearing the restaurant's name. We had an absolute outstanding server named Saige. She was attentive and made great recommendations for us. To start, we had Caesar salads. The presentation of these was unique, having somewhat of a ruffled appearance. For the second course, we tried the sautéed shrimp with Cajun spice and charred bread as well as bacon wrapped scallops with Calabrian tomato jam. Finally, for the third course, we had the hanger steak with blue cheese butter and new potatoes. I love blue cheese, and I really loved it as an addition to this dish. Every item I tried, I would order again. Unfortunately, we didn't save room for dessert, but we've heard they are fantastic...next time! After dinner, we went and sat at the bar for a little while, and the staff there was just as delightful. Dining here was a whole experience that I plan to repeat again in the future!

It's a very nice restaurant, but they truly take you as you are--you don't have to be dressed up to feel welcome.

The manager even comes around to check on guests, which is a thoughtful touch that you don't see everywhere. They also have amazing happy hour deals, especially on the oysters. The French fries are fantastic, and the burger is just as good. We've had consistently great experiences and look forward to coming back again.

My scrambled eggs were a little over cooked and the cheese was only melted on top (rather than being mixed in), but they were still decent.

FYI: the parking lot is a nightmare of bumps, pots, holes, gravel and I'm glad I've got this truckster because the other one sits kinda low and would have tore out the floor pans... there's fewer people inside than there are vehicles out front - which is odd but not particularly creepy - and every seat at the bar has a body in it either talking too loudly about, or half listening to, various and assorted abuses of the truth. seems like most of 'em know most of the others but not everyone knows all of 'em, so yeah it's a sampling of the regulars. a longer bar might be nice but would probably mean more regulars already here and still no place for a random visitor... nothing on tap but it's a liquor bar and the tender will mix or pour or un-cap whatever you think you need until you demonstrate that you don't need any more... followed by an attempt to secure safe passage home - or so the story goes. in closing: I'd totally rate Jay's at a single star but the reasoning would be lost on most all y'all.
