    We ate in the bar and tried their Prime Cheeseburger and Fries. We were pleased at how good they tasted. The burger is juicy and huge! The fries are crispy and plentiful. We started by splitting a Caesar salad that we probably should have skipped because we could not finish the burgers. Our server, Samantha, was friendly and helpful when we ordered. She has been there a while and is quite knowledgeable about the restaurant. She is a great server! I am a club member and had trouble accessing my account to be able to us a reward I earned. Samantha had a co-worker help me get into my account and reset it so I could access it and redeem the reward. That was very nice and thoughtful of her to do this for me. Great Service!

    Jen's Guesthouse is a fabulous experience from the wait staff to the bus staff but what really stood out was the wonderful service and the incredible food. Scallops cooked to perfection, Chicken Picatta out of this world, beef tenderloin cooked to perfection. Great Service, Great atmosphere and incredible service.
