verything about the exterior of Hay
J’s is misleading. Right off a freeway exit,
it appears to be located in an unassuming
strip mall with your typical dry cleaner, nail
salon, and shoe repair, conveniently linked
to a gas station so you can fill up on your
way out. But, in this case, the fill up will
be your appetite, with a delectable smor-
gasbord of options. Hay J’s is a culinary
delight of masterfully crafted perfection.
The moment you walk through the doors at
Hay J’s you are instantly transported from
a run-of-the-mill gas station strip mall to
a cozy, warm and artfully decorated fine
dining establishment. We were warmly
greeted and escorted to our table, catching
a glimpse of the head chef working his
magic in the kitchen.
The lighting is subdued, layout offers
privacy for each table, and the walls are
covered by large-scale, colorful w orks of
art by local artist Edward Gilmore.
Hay J’s goes above and beyond to create
great tasting food, a romantic atmosphere,
and exceptional service. Hay J’s has been
impressing their diners for 10+ years and
I have a feeling they will be around for a
long time. If you are looking to enjoy a
meal you won’t soon forget, full of fresh
seafood, tender meat, and rich flavors, try
Hay J’s for your next special occasion.
