I think this place is terribly underrated as I've never had anything but excellent food there. The night I went, I had a salad and a pasta dish; both were specials so not on regular menu. I neglected to take a picture of the salad so don't remember what it was at this point, just that it was terrific. This is the lobster gnocchi; the lobster is all the white you see in the picture. It was superb. You are really missing a great experience if you don't give Jai's a try. Attached Images
