Jay's Tapas Shuts Down

[Devany]

We spent a lot of time at Cronies when we were here for our closing a year ago. We had no Cable then and we were hoping to see some games and the election returns. Here is my opinion as a food writer:

Service: Over the top wonderful. The only reason we still go back there. Great wait staff.

TV: Lots of screens but on election night we had to beg and plead to have them switch just one to the election returns. After 100% of the people in the restaurant were huddled around that one TV, the turned on one more. It is ALL SPORTS there. Nothing wrong with that it is a sports bar! Ironically until a few months ago, this sports bar was also closed on Sundays. Not any more.

Food: It is like airline food. Pre cooked processed food that they re-heat. The only thing I have never sent back is the wings and they are really good wings. I love their wings in lava sauce. I don't usually send back food, but most things I have ordered there (aside from the wings)have bordered on awful. Wes loves their burgers. I have never had one. No matter what, do not order mahi mahi. I sent that back twice and then they took it off of the check. Salads: awful iceberg and a very pale tomato with OK dressings. There is nothing local about the food here. Go for the wings. They are really good.

Beer and Booze... great selection. Not much of a wine list, but it is a sports bar.

Aloha au i Hawai`i,
