    Great experience, but food wasn’t as warm as it should have been. Your Santa was exceptional!

    My “handheld” couldn’t be held in my hand. It was a mess. The fries were not cooked- very oily. The Christmas lights were annoying, flashing on and off. Not impressed.

    This place is definitely a neighborhood gem - the ambiance is amazing. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, they have live entertainment, which did not disappoint. The food was very good, and our server was amazing.

    Service was outstanding. Menu seemed more limited than I recall from past visits. Noise level made conversation challenging at times.

    Overall experience was ok. Blood stains on my napkin to start the evening wasn’t a good beginning. Server blew it off as no big deal. Food was good but not great. Give it a 7 out of 10. They did recognize our anniversary, huge plus !!

    We did not know that this was going to be a buffet until we got there. We were very impressed by all of the choices and how well the food was served and replaced in the buffet. Totally loved it!

    I've been to Jen's many times but this time I was disappointed. Our reservation was 30 minutes late and the food was just ordinary. It was a buffet but the food was lukewarm. The carving station ham was good but the little piece of beef was fatty and I didn't take it. This was our first time at a buffet at Jen's and it will be our last. The regular menu is much better.
