    Made a res for 730 Mgt called and asked me to change to 745. Got there and seated. Waited 5 minutes with no response from anyone. Got our own pitcher of water, still no server. Drank a glass of water and left. Very disappointed.. At those prices, expected much better. Won't be returning

    My Husband and I were visiting the Port Charlotte area last Labor Day weekend attending a Parrot Head event taking place at the Days Inn next door. As the event was winding down Saturday evening, my Husband requested a last minute/late evening reservation and the Manager very kindly accommodated us. Arrived at 9:45pm to be promptly escorted to our table, ordered wine and quickly reviewed the menu (as we knew the kitchen wanted our order as quick as possible). I had a lobster ravioli that was delicious, the lobster meat inside the ravioli as well as two short tails included. My husband had the grilled filet mignon, which was cooked (or should say un-cooked perfectly) as he likes it rare and he found the sauce to be delicious too. Our accompanying wine was perfect. This was our second time visiting JD's, the first being two years prior when attending the same event and they made my Birthday a very special evening with my then boyfriend, now Husband. The Manager, chef, and entire staff should all be commended for presenting such a great dining experience to their patrons. We will visit JD's again when in the area and highly recommend to others in our visiting Port Charlotte too. Laurie & Craig Holmes

    Great every time. Friendly staff, excellent dinner music and entertainment. While many locals like myself consider downtown Punta Gorda to be the restaurant scene, JD's really is the best high end meal in town.

    This is certainly not an everyday type place as it is pretty expensive but the food was phenomenal. I took my company here for a meeting and the bill was close to 50 bucks per person. It looks like a dive from outside but it is actually a very nice place. I can say that the band that was playing was absolutely awesome. My daughter danced and danced to the live band and the band interacted with her pretty constantly throughout the evening. For a 3 year old this was a dream come true. This happened over a month ago and she is still talking about it.

    Second time we have visited this restaurant and it is great. The ambience is so romantic and comfortable. Both times the service and food have been exceptional. The entertainment has been top notch each time and although a bit pricey it's well worth it.

    Absolutely the nicest restaurant on Port Charlotte. Our dinner included fabulous mussels, pork osso bucco that was sublime & wonderful chocolate torte & crime brûlée. Good wine list, great jazz-that kid can sing ala Buble & dare I say Frank?

    It's really 4 1/2 stars. Ambiance, & decor is very pleasant and inviting. For a higher end restaurant, we felt the prices were competitive. One person in our group ordered the white mussels, which were fabulous. One other ordered the Venison, which was cooked perfectly rare with a raspberry sauce. Served w/ asparagus & potatoes too. Over the top delicious !!! I ordered the Beef Carpaccio w/ truffle oil. I must say, I don't care much for Truffle oil because of the "musty" aftertaste but this was lightly drizzled and it did blend with the arugula very nicely. I enjoyed it and would order it again. Our only negative...... The trio playing music that Thursday 5/21/2015, night was playing WAY TOO LOUD. We had 4 people in our group and we could hardly hear each other speak across the table. We were seated in the middle of the room. When they took a break, we all took a sigh of relief because the music was a good blend, just too loud. We all would go back again.

    We have dined here many times and the food and the live jazz gets better every time. Highly recommended. We are from NY and very picky foodies! You have to try it!!

    JD's never disappoints. My husband and I have eaten there several times and each meal is consistently delicious. Although it is a bit pricey the hospitality, cleanliness, entertainment and wonderful food make up for it. Our last dinner there we noticed a couple with a child who was probably 6-7 yrs old. Although JD's does not discriminate against children let me just say.....this chid was obviously bored! He did not stay in his seat and was an obvious distraction to the patrons. PARENTS please do us a favor and take your child to " child friendly " restaurants, there are plenty of them out there. That being said JD's is the best place for a wonderful dinner!!!

    Brought some friends here that have never been, wasn't as impressed as the first time but it was still overall very good. We were able to get an early reservation before a comedy show, be sure to make reservations on the weekends. The mussels were as amazing as the first time I've had them, the biggest disappointment of the night was the ahi tuna appetizer, was NOT fresh, was completely 100% frozen, bland and awful. Our guests enjoyed their duck very much, my fiancé also enjoyed the scallops while I decided on the peppercorn New York strip steak. Service was a little slower this time, but the live music of course was excellent.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday with 5 friends. We all had a fabulous time. The osso bucco pork I ordered was so delicious. Love the atmosphere--felt like we were at a restaurant in Chicago on Rush Street or in Manhattan. This restaurant is by far the one to visit when you are looking for a great meal and time. The band/singer were terrific, singing "our kind" of music. Yes, it is a little pricey, but well worth it for all the amenities as far as ambiance and great food. We will definitely make this our place to celebrate special occasions. It has to be the classiest place in Port Charlotte and surrounding citites.

    My fiance and I were in town visiting family. I used yelp to find a place for dinner, and have never been so very pleased with the results. The atmosphere was perfect- quiet and intimate but friendly and fun at the same time somehow. Everything was clean and well kept. I'm picky, but my fiance will eat anything you put in front of him. We both agreed that the food was delicious, well presented, and of excellent quality. The live music was just right as well. They were obviously talented musicians in their element. The host, bartender, and our server were all pleasant and professional, knew what they were doing, and made it dining experience very pleasurable. We even talked over dinner about how we wish we had a place like this in our hometown. Whether you're a local or visiting, you're missing out if you don't check it out! It is obvious in every aspect that the people who work there truly care about their business.

    I should preface my comments by explaining that my wife and I are very picky. Visited there last night for dinner (Friday, July 12th). We shared the appetizer special (black-eyed pea hummus... delicious) and we both had the Filet Mignon. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and, as my wife declared, "This is the best steak I've had since The Chophouse" (a steakhouse near where we lived in central MA). We moved to FL three years ago and have been searching for a comparable meal to what we were able to find in MA. I think we found it. The live jazz band was a great addition and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks JD's, we'll be back!

    My wife picked me up at the airport on a Tuesday evening and we stopped here for dinner. We got a nice table at the back. She ordered the yellow tail snapper. I was tired and just repeated my order last time. Again the food was excellent, the snapper was just right, not mushy and delicately flavored. Nice dinner once again.

    Another great meal at JD's with wonderful music. Excellent food, I ordered bouillabaisse and asked they hold the calamari, which they did. It was delicious, the Martini was good, a good wine list for my sister. We like it here so much we are making it a tradition. Whenever we come to visit our mom we go to JD's. Danny our server was warm and fun. And if you love the great American Songbook, this is the place to eat and listen to the music! I love the supper club atmosphere!
