RESERVATION POLICY
Our reservation policy is intended to be fair to all of our guests, yet
prevent loss of income to our business and to our wait staff. We believe
that it is professional for us to share our reservations policies and the
reasons for our policies. With only 50 seats in our main dining rooms, our
business and the tip income of our staff depends on advance reservations.
Cancellations can be costly especially to our professional servers that rely on
your reservation and gratuity.
We accept reservations at the restaurant for dates in the
current and for the next proceeding month by phoning (978)779-9816.
However, since we are only available to answer your call one hour before and
after our normal hours of operation, the best method of making a reservations
for 5 or fewer people is online at

Since our guest often make reservations at
J's
in advance, it is not always possible to
fill late cancellations. As a result, for reservations of six people or
more
we require a deposit, by
credit card, of $25 per person for
reservations except for holiday and special event reservations where full
payment is required in advance. Please refer to our special reservation
page for details on payment and cancellation. For regular
reservatiosn, the deposit is not refundable unless the reservation
is cancelled more than twenty-four hours ahead.
As a small intimate restaurant catering to romantic evenings and celebrations,
it is important to preserve the ambiance and quality of our restaurant for all
of our guests. The attributes that make us quaint, cozy and romantic also
limit our ability to accommodate large parties. In order to insure the
experience of
J's
for all of our guests, we do not take reservations for tables on the porch for
more than 6 people or in the main dining area for parties of more than 8
people.
As a result, reservations are very limited for larger groups. When
available and provided other reservations are not already taken, larger groups
of up to 14 people can be accommodated in our Gallery Room or up to 10
people in the Winemakers Room. We may have to stipulate additional
reservation guidelines and menu modifications to professionally
accommodate your reservation.
For special days, such as Mother's Day, Father's Day or Easter Sunday, we
do not take reservations for tables on the porch for more than 6 people or
in the main dining area for parties of more than 8 people as it is important to
preserve the ambiance and quality of our restaurant for all of our guests.
Reservations for parties of 6 and 8 are very limited by the size of our
restaurant. We also do not take request for separate reservations at
adjoining tables as it is impossible to coordinate tables becoming available at
the same time. While this might exclude some of our valuable
customers who wish to entertain their entire family, we hope there is an
appreciation and understanding of the special character and charm of
J's
that we attempt
to preserve. Reservations for these days are usually limited to service of
one and one-half hour.
We do not accept reservations of parties with more than 14 people. Please
refer to our
functions
page for details about hosting a large party. We also
do not accept reservations for a number of smaller parties, at the same time
with tables in the same area to accomplish the goal of circumventing our
policies.
We only assign tables immediately before service based on staffing, reservations
and the number people the reservation is made for. While we will note on
your reservation a specific request for a specific table we do not
guarantee any table or seat. Your request will be given the highest
attention possible but requests, especially for late reservations, are often
impossible to accomplish.
We do not take reservations for our outside patio area as weather conditions are
unpredictable. Our outside tables, when being used, are on a first request
basis to our host. Advance reservations will not be accepted for the
outside dining area.
