J&J’s House of Prime Rib, Parker

With a name as focused as J&J’s House of Prime Rib, it's no surprise that the namesake entree is featured prominently on the menu. In 10-ounce, 15-ounce, and 20-ounce cuts, the tender, marbled meat is slow-roasted until it practically melts on the tongue. Such unwavering dedication to technique extends to the rest of the menu, too. Misoyaki-glazed salmon shows off the chefs' versatility, as do Alaskan king crab legs with chili-garlic beurre blanc. But the spirit of simple, uncomplicated elegance is truly the restaurant's hallmark, and is reflected in its decor as well. Rich woodwork and slate-hued stone accents fill the space, lending a warmth that is complemented by banquettes in autumn hues and earthenware tile floors.
