  Potentially Life-Threatening Conduct by JIVE. On July 5, 2014 I patronized JIVE. After dinner I felt odd – I decided to visit the restroom. On the way, I became dizzy, briefly blacked out, and collapsed to the floor. I had numbness in my arm, difficulty breathing, and was shaking and unable to walk. Friends came to my aid and were followed by a female employee of JIVE. The employee was insensitive and loudly demanded that my friends …get her out of here! They ignored her and carried me to the restrooms where I became violently ill (from both ends). The employee followed, and persisted with her loud demands. Fortunately, a nurse and an EMT who were dining at JIVE accompanied us to the restroom to assist. The nurse stated that I required an ambulance and immediate attention. The employee vehemently insisted that she did not want an ambulance at the establishment. Again, she demanded that I be removed from the premises. The EMT got me into the car and we proceeded to the medical center. First, I was already mortified as it is likely that patrons presumed I was intoxicated. Second, it was offensive and embarrassing to have this supposition encouraged by the reaction of the employee. Third, heart disease runs in my family and my symptoms pointed to a possibility serious issue if it had been a heart attack, an ambulance would have been critical. Fortunately, it was not medical attention revealed an adverse reaction to a new medication. For clarity, let me stress that I am not a big drinker and had one martini at JIVE. In addition, at the time of the incident I was coherent, articulate, and (other than collapsing) displayed none of the signs of someone who had over-imbibed. I was humiliated and offended by the disrespectful, unprofessional treatment I received from JIVE, and their obstruction to swift medical attention could have endangered my life.

  The outside setting was nice, but the food prices and the food itself was terrible. The 1/4 cup of crab dip we got was not worth the $11 price. And the jerk chicken wing were too sweet. Too expensive for just simple appetizers.

  Unusual for OC. If you’re looking for a unique spot in OC, this is it. It’s kind of like a place you’d find in Manhatten….along with the prices. I would suggest stopping by here for a drink after dinner if you don’t mind forking out 10 bucks or more for a martini. Their outside deck is nice with comfy seating. I would say this place is not for the younger crowd. They are right next to Frescos, which is a great place to eat.
