Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, the 5,800-square-foot restaurant with a seating capacity of about 170 people will feature prime cuts of meat (certified angus beef, veal, lamb, chicken) and the freshest (never frozen) seafood along with pastas, sandwiches, salads, soups and appetizers.

Be sure to complement your meal with a cocktail from the restaurant's bar, which features all "top shelf" spirits.  Or perhaps a glass of vino from their extensive wine list, which offers 100 wines sold by the bottle and 30 by the glass.

The restaurant's prices are "very, very fair, and reflect not only the high quality of the food, but also what they feel the area can sustain. "We realize that this is not Birmingham, however, we will not compromise on the quality," John said. Lunch prices range from $3 for the soup du jour to $16 for the petite filet. Burgers and panini sandwiches are $7 to $11. Dinner entrees, which include potatoe and vegtable DeJur, range from $12 to $32 (with the exception of lobster tail at market price).

The Gjokaj brothers, who built the two-story, 14,000-square-foot building which houses their restaurant, are hoping to draw people from Oxford and the surrounding areas who would normally head to south of here for fine dining. "We're hoping it's going to be more like a destination," Marco said. "I think the area needs a restaurant like this, especially now with gas prices."

Whether it's casual or formal dining, JONMARX wants everyone to feel welcome anytime. "We really don't want to be perceived as a special occasion place only," Marco said. 

JONMARX will be doing its best to help put Oxford on the map both locally and internationally.
