    I realize it was Valentines day and was somewhat busier then usual, but the food was barely warm and overcooked. Our waitress was overwhelmed and very slow. It's such a shame cause it's a gorgeous location. I really believe Jens need new ownership because too many times it underwhelmes!

    Jen's Guesthouse is a fabulous experience from the wait staff to the bus staff but what really stood out was the wonderful service and the incredible food. Scallops cooked to perfection, Chicken Picatta out of this world, beef tenderloin cooked to perfection. Great Service, Great atmosphere and incredible service. My wife and I will definitely be back!!!!!

    Very nice Valentine's dinner with my wife. They offered a special menu that included a very reasonably priced surf & turf which we both ordered. The restaurant was decorated very nicely. They had a guy singing old Sinatra, Martin, Darrin, etc. Had the bread pudding for dessert which was outstanding. It was our 2nd visit and we will definitely be back.
