I came to Jen’s Guesthouse for an event that was serving a family style lunch, so my review will only reflect that aspect of the restaurant. The entire staff were very courteous, and the service was excellent. The restaurant itself was extremely clean and very spacious. For family style, the food was above par and everyone really enjoyed it. All things considered, it was a really nice experience. P.S. We went back to Jen’s for Mother’s Day, and I had the GNOCCHI with shrimp, and it was excellent.

I love this place so much! The staff are always welcoming and the food is exquisite. Waiters were very accommodating and the overall vibe is great. When it comes to desserts… oh goodness! Desserts are divine! The scenery is gorgeous and I wish more people knew about this place.

Saturday night. No parking left. Circled twice before valet was at stand. Went to leave and valet no where to be found. Just grabbed my own keys…could have grabbed anyone’s keys. No water refill. Had to ask for bread when every other table had it. Food was good. Rest not so much.

Beautiful venue but we were moved around during the middle of the wedding while the help broke down the tables and swept under our feet. We had to find our purse and jacket that were thrown on a different end table and forgot our umbrella because everything was taken almost 2 hours before the event was over. So I guess it’s a great place if you’re in a hurry.

This was my first time at Jen’s Guesthouse. We sat out on a beautiful patio-had wine, appetizers, and listened to live entertainment. Pictured is one of the appetizers-short rib tacos, which were delicious.

Our dinner was so delicious and beautifully arranged on the plates. Our server was lovely and took wonderful care of us. This restaurant has a beautiful view of their patio and a cliff that is immaculately cared for complete with bird feeders. However yesterday, children and yes the dad too decided to traverse this area and stay there for more than a little while. First of all this is very dangerous since there is a cement area below this cliff. I brought it to the attention of our server who said it was up to the parents to watch their kids. Management did not step in. Ruined the look of this peaceful gorgeous area.

The food at Jen’s was absolutely fantastic. Especially liked the Cream of Chicken soup. If you get the chance to dine on the patio, take it. It’s wonderful out there. Prices are reasonable. Wait staff is wonderful.

A great 1st time experience. We celebrated an anniversary and the restaurant had a card and voucher waiting for us when seated. A VERY nice touch. Lala, our server, was exceptional- pleasant, friendly and helpful. While busy, it wasn’t crazy. Instead it was cozy on the patio even with a private party on the landing above us. No music this night, but live music is played on certain nights. Call ahead to check. The interior is well appointed for a nice gathering either fancy or casual night out. The bar is a nice “snug” with a vibrant feeling, friendly staff. The guests seem to be enjoying the setting.

What a wonderful beautiful hidden gem Jens guesthouse is! A neighbor who has been going since the original doors opened took me here for dinner. The ambiance of the loveliness of nature in the upper mezzanine early afternoon was great. The food was good and the service very friendly and efficient. I’m looking forward to visiting again.

Had my daughter’s bridal shower there recently. From the atmosphere, staff and the food. I highly recommend you to go for dinner or host a gathering there.
