Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were beyond pleased with our experience at JWB Prime Steak and Seafood! We didn’t plan on going, but after looking at the menu, we decided to stop in for an appetizer and drink at the bar. That turned into having a full blown dinner,...and the food was beyond Excellent! Matt, our bartender, was extremely attentive and made great food suggestions. The lobster hash brown is an absolute must! Don’t skip on ordering this, as we are still talking about it days later. There’s also a secret sushi menu that’s featured at the bar not noted on the regular menu. All the roles sound excellent but we decided to have the fillet sushi roll, which was absolutely fabulous!More

Terrible meal for the price, poor quality food,nothing special.. Salmon was mushy, aged steak, grisly ,and service extremely slow. Check was over 500 dollars for 4 guest with no alcohol. I questioned why the texture on the salmon was so strange after I ate it...because I was so hungry with the slow service and no one came back to check on us , the waiter wouldnt answer my questions about the salmon after the fact. They gave one of my guest a free dessert to make up for the salmon which I thought was weird since all our guests had dessert except me and the waiter didnt know that our bill was together. We were very sorry we wasted our evening there and with the service it was a long evening.More

From the first moment stepping into JWB at Margaritaville, the atmosphere was, shall we say, a bit crisp - an interesting prelude to an evening of culinary exploration. The first interactions with the staff proved somewhat arid, a stark contrast to the warmth of the...Florida weather outside. Requesting a table not in the center, like some social spectacle, they eventually conceded to our preference. Our journey truly began when Terrence arrived, setting the stage with bread and butter, a quintessential ritual that often goes underappreciated. Along came Clements, our guide for the night, with menus and an all-important wine list. A $60 bottle of Carmenere was chosen - a selection off the beaten path, yet incredibly rewarding, and a tip I pass on to you, dear reader. Our gastronomic tour commenced with a beet salad, a delightful start that sang on the palate. The star of the show was undoubtedly the 56-ounce tomahawk steak, a formidable display of carnivorous pleasure, cooked to a precise 135 degrees and rested, an essential step often overlooked. Accompaniments came in the form of Brussel sprouts and mac and cheese, competent companions to the hero of the meal. The influence of Chef Ryan was palpable, a testament to the harmony between him and the front of house staff, Terrence, Clements, and Megan - a tight-knit crew, an orchestra performing a symphony of service. Megan, adorned with pendants of achievement, lent an air of authenticity and pride to the service. Her dedication and professionalism is a reminder of why we dine out - it's not just the food, but the whole experience. A dinner at JWB isn't just about satisfying the stomach, but also about nurturing the soul. To sum up, our sojourn to JWB at Margaritaville was an experience worth remembering. It's about the journey, the connections made, the service received, and the flavors savored. You feel taken care of, an essential component of any truly great dining establishment. In its own unique way, JWB captures a slice of what makes dining out so undeniably pleasurable.More

As our last night in Hollywood, we chose JWB because it is rated as one of the finest steakhouses in south Florida and we were also celebrating a special occasion. While on the pricey side, it was well worth every penny. From the moment you...arrive, this place is casual elegant. Service is sharp and on point but what really stands out are the steaks. Both from a quality and cook perspective, I was very impressed and this place really does live up to its billing. As our last meal and celebration before going home, we couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommended!More

We arrived at 7:22 for a 7:30 reservation. We checked in and the guy at the podium said what are you doing here so early? I said it’s 8 minutes. He replied you’ll have to go wait somewhere to wait. We went to the bar...had drinks and were sat 20 minutes later. We started with soup and salad. We would have left but it was a monsoon. My wife ordered the lobster bisque for $30. It came out cold TWICE! My salad was mediocre. We decided we did not want to drop another $250- $300 for dinner. The people sitting next to us said their whole meal was like that. I went because of the trip advisor review. Save yourself a lot of money this place is one star at best. I spent $125 for cold soup salad and a corkage fee!More
