Dinner last night at John Bull. Wife and I sat outside. I enjoyed my bbq ribs and she enjoyed grilled chicken. We were treated to 2 hours of rock n roll by Ryan & The Rockers. Very pleasant evening.

Hello again Jeff ~
After reading your review I kept John Bull in mind, and yesterday we took our West Palm Beach friends there for dinner. It is as you said. Three of the four dinners were very good. The ribs got an A+… tender, meaty and fall off the bone; The blackened ribeye tender and tasty but perhaps a tad overdone (the waitress never asked how the patron wanted it prepared) gets at least a B+, the chicken breasts with artichoke hearts, sundried tomato and a fantastic sauce that I enjoyed certainly got an A… the chicken was a little overdone but the sauce with it’s veggies and the sides more than made up for that. The loser was the “catch of the day” – talipia that was very overcooked and dry and not particularly well seasoned. My wife used tarter sauce rather than sending it back – a disappointment.

The only other bone we might pick is about the pub’s policies. We were 2 couples and each of us had coupons emailed to us for a buy one get one promotion good only for that day. I do admit that the coupon did clearly say one per table, but the restaurant was empty and the only way that we could have taken advantage of our coupons was to sit at separate tables. We enjoyed the meal but the management’s attitude regarding this issue spoiled what would otherwise have been an enjoyable evening. A little flexibility and customer comes first attitude would have gone a long way to having us return to John Bull…. after all, there are a lot of restaurants out there, and while John Bull was good, it wasn’t great!

So our quest for the perfect dinner continues.
