    Horrible. Smoking all around. Noisy kids running around. Food too awhile. Server forgetful. Not professional. The dj wasn’t who was advertised. Very disappointed.

    We have dined here several times and have always been impressed with the food and the staff. The place is huge and doubles in the summer months with all the outdoor space but they still manage to get food out with good timing and the right temperatures. Went here for my birthday most recently and had a great time from the server to the busing staff. Any issue/ request is with speedily and with a great attitude, not that there have been many. We will definitely return.

    Nothing wrong with food. Asked for tonic water with a lime. Bought over club soda, waitress was apologetic and brought another still club soda. Not her fault. Went over myself and bartender gave a look that was not pleasant. Told him it may be the dispenser. Gave me a small glass to taste still tasted like club soda. Finally just asked for a coke. He was upset and appeared to tell his boss dispenser needed changing. Jen’s is a great place but if they have problems with just a dispenser . How about those that ask for gin and tonic .

    Chicken piccata was very good although the angel hair pasta was overcooked. Desserts are highly overpriced.
