    Your s Serving staff, busing tables was very poor. They need to be trained, as they didn't even clear the table between courses. The person serving the main course, I guess, expected me to remove my salad plate as he came at me with my plate and looked at me. We won't be back. Suggestion: train your staff!

    I was disappointed this time. I realize they were under staff. When you leave table dirty for awhile in a classy restaurant  it looks messy. The hostess should have helped out and cleaned off the tables. When we got there and we had reservation we had to wait 20 mins for a table. When the hostess said there’s no tables left and we when to be seated at least half of the tables were not being used. So I wonder what she meant when she said no tables were available The bartender and the waiter were trying their best and I give them 5 stars across the board. hopefully next time will be better.

    We had a wonderful experience with our dinner last night. The service was excellent, and the food was great. I especially want to complement the singer who was extremely talented and really made our evening fun. We will be back as we always are. We have celebrated many of our last few holidays with you like Christmas Eve and even Thanksgiving. Continue the great work you do.

    Was bored with our regular restaurants in the Burr Ridge area so we ventured out a few minutes and found Jen’s Guesthouse. It really was a wonderful experience. The whole restaurant is very pretty, but we were able to dine on the patio, which was lovely and quiet. The food was very good, and they have some healthy options, which I liked. We shared the Brussels sprouts and a whitefish dinner, then a tiramisu. All delicious-as was the wine. Service was great, prices are good, and it was an overall wonderful experience. We will be back!
