About J.J's
J.J's is a restaurant on Thoroughfare in Woodbridge, set on the first floor above a sandwich shop and reached by stairs with no lift. The menu runs to tapas-style dishes for sharing, with patatas bravas among the plates, and a lunchtime version of the same format is available earlier in the day. A wine list runs alongside a cocktail menu for those settling in. Families with young children are catered for with high chairs, and dogs are welcome in the dining room. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. The restaurant opens Wednesday to Saturday and stays closed Monday, Tuesday and Sunday, with reservations recommended. Door staff are present later in the evening, and parking is a short walk from the entrance rather than directly outside.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently highlight the restaurant’s excellent service as the chief attraction, noting polite, friendly staff who attend to guests with a smile. Close behind, the tapas menu draws frequent praise, with the patatas bravas described as a “total explosion of flavour,” and the lunch-time small plates lauded for sharing. The cocktail selection also earns repeated commendation, and several diners point to the well-curated wine list as a strong point. A few reviewers mention practical drawbacks: one notes that parking requires a short walk and the upstairs location lacks a lift, limiting wheelchair access, while another observes occasional lapses with security staff at the door. Several guests appreciate the low-volume ambient music that sustains a comfortable atmosphere, and one diner highlights the kitchen’s willingness to accommodate vegan requests.

“Excellent (tapas) lunch. Superb food and great service...done with a smile! Ambient music kept at a sensibly low volume. We wish it every success.”
- ANN SCOTT
“Absolutely outstanding! So much care clearly goes into the food and cocktail menu. The tapas was perfectly cooked and the patatas bravas was a total explosion of flavour! My partner is quite a connoisseur of tapas and we often leave restaurants quite deflated, but there was no chance of that hear. Diverse and exciting menu, with ingredients that compliment each other and taste delicious. The owner of the restaurant is extremely tentative and paid attention to every detail. Nothing was too much trouble and you can see that every ounce of her has been poured into this wonderful place. The music, the decor, the food, the cocktails… All superb! We can highly recommend this place to anyone.”
