After seeing all of the rave reviews on the Mercer food page on Facebook we finally decided to give it a shot.

I’m a chicken parm kinda guy. I try chicken parm everywhere I go. I was sent to New Jersey for military stuff and stayed at the hotel next to Chef Jason. I figured I would try it and glad I did! The Boom Boom Chicken is a unique chicken parm dish using vodka sauce (ranks top five I’ve ever had). And that was no fluke, I’ve been back two times since and the quality was still perfect! In addition, all the other food I’ve had at this place has been on point as well! Definitely worth a visit. The only other thing I will say is that this place is a BYOB, meaning if you want an alcoholic beverage be sure to pick something up before coming!

First I want to say, my fiance couldn’t believe how astounding Chef Jason cooked his medium rare NY strip steak. He described it as firm but tender, buttery, rich with beefy flavor. And let me tell you, my fiance is extremely picky when it comes to his steak. His entree was called, Steak Don 16oz NY Strip Steak. For appetizers we ordered the sweet & sour shrimp, which was amazing, a small portion but just enough to have my taste busds wanting more. The other appetizer was the shaved brussels sprout salad, we hate brussel sprouts but when Jason insisted in giving it a try, we were staggered! It had so much flavor, it was this walnut glaze mixed with bacon, nothing we’ve ever had before. I ordered the linguine fra diavolo entree, tomato spicy sauce mixed with my favorite seafood, shrimp and crabmeat. All I have to say, I have to come back again and order this! The service was excellent too, no complaints on our server Anthony. We’ll be back very soon.

If I could give them zero stars, I would. Food fell far below my expectations given the prior ratings and that’s putting it nicely. I was not impressed by the decor. In fact, cubicle dividers separated another party from our table, which did nothing to minimize the loud noise. Some tables had tablecloths while others did not. I wouldn’t be as bothered if the food was ok, but it was flavorless. Overpriced and not good.

This is a relatively new restaurant. They seemed understaffed for a Saturday night. Once we got through some early stumbles with the staff, we were very pleased with our meal.

The food is beyond amazing. Menu does vary a bit given the fact ingredients fresh and local. There is outdoor seating and the option for BYOB which are nice option to have.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Chef Jason’s. The service was wonderful – friendly, and paced just right for a relaxed family dinner. The food did not disappoint – from the pear sacchettoni appetizer (seriously, if you see this on the menu, get it!), to our entrees, to dessert & coffee – everything was delicious and nicely presented. We will definitely be going back for more excellent meals in the future!

My daughter and I were staying at the Residence Inn and thought we would have something delivered. Absolutely amazing! Had the filet medium. Considering food is never as good as when it’s served at your table in a restaurant, we were impressed at how fantastic the food was as delivery. Higher end quality and flavors were so delicious. I’ve been to many amazing restaurants and I will make special trips to Chef Jason at 1275 in the future. Highly recommended.

So after reading online I was very eager to try the food here. I ordered surf and turf and was very disappointed in the results. When the person got to my room with the food. I couldn’t help but noticed they wanted me to quickly sign the receipt. I paid 86 dollars for a super small piece of steak. A smashed lobster tail. And a slice of cake. I don’t know if he went through the food or what but I’m very disappointed in the outcome of the order. I’ll never order here again but it’s the principle that counts.
