    My experience at Jen's Guesthouse was wonderful! If you haven't gone there when Ross Failla is singing, it is a must! I had a group of 6 that went for his show and we had the most amazing time! The beautiful music, people dancing, songs everyone knows, and the way everyone felt connected was such an incredible experience. The food was excellent, especially the whitefish, the chicken salad wrap, the salmon, and the cookie sundae. The servers Jen and Martha are the best! The owner Jen is so friendly. She decorates the restaurant so beautifully for each holiday. Besides tasty food and pleasant music, the decor enough will Wow you! Overall, I've never had anything less than an excellent time at Jen's. I highly recommend.

    THE FOOD AND SERVICE WERE OUTSTANDING, AS ALWAYS. MARTHA ALWAYS ANTICIPATES MY NEEDS. PER REQUEST, I WAS SEATED IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE. I ALWAYS HAVE THE SCALLOPS, AND ADD A LOBSTER TAIL. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO END THE WEEK.

    Our group of 5 had another great experience at Jen’s! We shared the mixed combo appetizer and it was plentiful and delicious. Our main entrees were all outstanding, very large portions too. Our server went above and beyond, and allowed us to sit Abdul visit without rushing us!

    Jen's Guest House is a wonderful place to go for a very enjoyable and relaxing dinner. We arrived shortly after opening at 4:30 and pretty much had the place to ourselves. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Everything on the menu is worth trying. I particularly enjoy the roasted scallops on risotto. We look forward to the summer when we can enjoy the beautiful venue outside on the upper level. The lights, and wooded background not to mention the local deer that sometimes make an appearance add to the charm of this wonderful landscape. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

    Very uninviting from the moment we walked in. Dinner was very rushed even thou the place had two other tables. Food was good just the service did not match.

    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!
