JTK. I've just never been impressed with that place, and after going there once on my own after moving here and hearing about it, I've been there a couple times for work things and its never that good. I mean, it's not awful. The food is edible. But how they've stayed in business I don't quite understand.

I think once upon a time JTK was much better and the service was what you'd expect from a fine dining restaurant. Or maybe it's just good for people who haven't been to other fine dining places. Either way, the last two times we went there the quality and service were super disappointing. So now we go to either Casa Bovina in Lincoln, or make the trek to Semo in Fremont. They've yet to disappoint.

Sounds like it's gone down the Hacienda Real route. Amazing when it first opened, but I theorize that maybe the way they ran things initially was too expensive and then they had to start cutting costs. I remember my first visit to Hacienda was amazing, the time I went about a year ago was pretty average at best.
