    Love everything about this place. My complaint is , I ordered the pork chops , and I could barely cut thru them . I didn’t even eat them . Jen was our server, she offer me something else, but I thought it would be rude to complain. I should have , because it w as $35. Down the drain .

    This was our first time here. It was decorated great! Our server, Mandy, was phenomenal. Food was good but the main entrees came out at room temperature. Other than that, everything was perfect.

    They split servings for us older couples and it was just perfect! Then treat yourselves to the Tiramisu - YUM! We even split it 4 ways. Delightful waitresses - very attentive to our needs.

    We love Jen's! The entertainment by Ross Failla was amazing! Our server Jen did such a good job and was so attentive. The whitefish was delicious. My friends were very pleased with the short ribs, oysters rockefeller, and the soup! We will definitely be back!

    We went for the fried chicken which is delicious!! Jen was the best waitress we have had there and we’ve been there a lot. If you want a quieter experience, go when they first open on Sunday, at 4pm.

    I ordered Chilean Sea bass and it was way overcooked. It tasted way too dry. My wife ordered short ribs dinner and she said it was way too salty. I don't know what happened tonight but the food was not good at all. The other 2 people with us ordered fried chicken. They liked it. I guess my wife and I ordered the wrong food. It was my birthday celebration and I noted it in the reservation. Usually we got a dessert comped on my birthday. None was offered. Maybe Jen's did away with that.

    My wife ordered the Sesame Ginger Salmon. When it arrived it had a Red sauce on top, which she said tasted like BBQ sauce. I ordered the Chicken Caprese with mushroom risotto. Risotto was good but the chicken was tough and hard to cut with a knife. No we did not send our food back. Only one server for the whole room so we really did not she her too much.
