Eh.  I'm sorry Jim Gould's, I think you've changed and not for the better. \n\nWent for our anniversary dinner last night, and despite having a loud and obnoxious group of drunk out-of-town conference attendees trying to impress one another with their wit and cleavage seated right next to us, figured that the food, wine, and service would compensate.  It didn't.  At half-price, the glass of shiraz I had was overpriced, and slightly chilled. My kobe beef burger was bland and not particularly tender.  The brie on top was flavorless.  Pommes frites were good, though I'm fairly confident they were not \""truffle oil misted\"" as described.  But still, yay pommes frites.  My husband's beef medallion \""special\"" was itty bitty and overcooked.  Also, despite being described as a special, was listed on the regular menu, and for the price that we were charged.  So, neither the dish nor the price were \""special\"". \n\nWhich brings me to the strange service: when we made a remark about the odd \""$1 wine shot\"" feature (seriously? a shot of wine?  served in a shot glass?), the waiter replied \""yeah, well, we're trying to compete with KoFusions $1 sushi.  They're really busy over there and we don't get many people on Mondays\""; later, we overheard another waiter tell a customer \""well, we've changed our menu.  We don't have specials anymore.  Our specials are just things on the regular menu that we want people to order.\""  And, though our service was courteous, it was slow but harried, despite the relative non-busyness of the restuarant.\n\nIt's too bad.  I used to quite enjoy Jim Gould's, but we're not likely to be in any hurry to go back.
