Mr. Jones' ambiance is like a modern American diner complete with a mini jukebox by the corner, servers in crisp white with red stripes tops and a menu that will make you go WOW!

So I may not be a green peas fan but that's ok, I have successfully plucked out the green peas from each spoonful of macaroni. On the first bite, I felt that the truffle flavor was a bit weak. I had to dig further down where I guess the oil has settled and the flavor was stronger. For some of the dishes, the Mr Jones kitchen staff uses a blow torch to lightly toast the top layer, however we felt that they might have gone overboard with the torching and some macaroni had that bitter burnt taste that somehow didn't go so well with the entire dish. What I love though were the Baby Portobello Mushrooms. It has a strong salty taste that perfectly complemented the cheezy macaroni.

Since we decided to share our orders with one another, I was also able to try Elaine's Melted "Old Bay" Crab and Dory Thermidor (Php. 375). This is actually a perfect dish this Lenten season as this delicious crab + fish creation has a very creamy texture because of the Hollandaise and Mornay Sauce. I also liked the herb rice pilaf that came with it. This is really good for sharing as it can get filling after a couple of bites.
We were all so full with our lunch feast! Aside from the three yummy dishes that I've mentioned earlier, we were also able to try the Old Fashioned Grilled Cheese & Alphabet Tomato Soup, The Threesome for starters, Honey Drizzle Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes (they were out of the Homemade Biscuits that day *sniffle*), Grilled Bone-in Maple Glazed Pork Chops & Apple Sauce and for dessert we had Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Apple Pie a la Mode! *phew*
I can't wait to go back and share the U.S. Beef Ribcap Tapa and Garlic Overload with Paul!
