jd's bistro and grille

they keep changing owners and performers. the last time i was there mid march 2017 they had some older drunk or high woman singer grinding on the chair on stage, i couldn't understand one word she was singing/saying/slurring. thisplaceused to be so classy with real jazz and standards.  miss the old atmosphere. it was romantic and elegant. so very few places left like that and change has always been for the worst in recent years. i don't know why these restaurant owners and managers think "modern approach" is better. for whom? they just lose the loyal crowd and the regulars. snowbirds leave and you have "us the regulars", without us you would lose your businesses. wake up.

food and atmosphere are great! when you see a grand piano, you know there is serious jazz on tap. we live in pittsburgh and i'm a jazz singer. thisplacehas both great music and food. i nice, moderately priced wine list as well. we were there this past saturday and came in later in the evening. the music stopped at 10pm and we wish it would have lasted longer. then i realized we were in port charlotte and not miami!

quality restaurant. this is a really excellent restaurant. superb food, ambiance and service. in a region where really good restaurants are few this is a gem. being visitors to the region we had almost given up trying to to find somewhere good to dine but thisplacewas excellent. if you want somewhere for excellent dining in port charlotte this is theplaceto go.

just what this area needed. am shocked that thisplaceexists here in this sleepy town full of casual restaurants. ate there for the 5th time a couple nights ago. theplacejust keeps getting better. outstanding food, knowledgeable and helpful staff, beautiful up-scale atmosphere, and some of the most refined jazz i've heard in years. thisplaceprovides metropolitan sophistication on every level without being stuffy. whoever their new chef is has brought them the trifecta of great food, great service, and great music. no need to go on about the menu items except to say you must try the scallop blt appetizer....a smartly composed dish that will surprise you.

thisplaceis elegant. the waitstaff is extremely friendly and knowledgable. the food is excellent. if you are looking for fine dining this is a great place!!!

just what port charlotte needed!. jd's bistro and grille is simply just right! for the warm welcome, to the great relaxed color scheme, the friendly, very informative waitstaff, the absolutely delicious menu options, (which have smaller or larger portions - its your choice).
it is theplaceto entertain guest with an absolute certainty that everyone will find something.
full bar and wine list - great prices, and they even have a reserved chef's wine list, that is just great for those of us that have wine fever!!
we went there at first for just a night out and have been back several times with friends just to share the great experience with!!
oh, and if you are lucky the chef will come out and chat and share his idea and suggestions with you...great touch! you can tell he loves what he does.
we wish you the best of luck and you will see us again.
