    An Unforgettable Evening at Jen's Guesthouse Last Friday evening, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Jen’s Guesthouse, and it turned out to be our most memorable experience yet. We were fortunate to be seated right next to where Hector Fernandez, a remarkable acoustic guitarist, was performing. It was his debut night at Jen’s, and his music elevated the entire evening. Hector played beautifully, delivering soulful renditions of classics, including pieces by Carlos Santana and Ottmar Liebert, along with stunning instrumental acoustic versions of many beloved songs. His talent and artistry are undeniable—he has performed at numerous prestigious venues, and Jen’s was truly fortunate to host such an esteemed musician. Beyond the outstanding music, our dining experience was exceptional. The Filet Mignon and Berkshire Chops were cooked to perfection, and the dining room was elegantly decorated for the holidays, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. Our table also offered a lovely view of the outdoor patio adorned with seasonal decorations, adding to the charm of the evening. The combination of exquisite cuisine, elegant ambiance, and the enchanting performance by Hector Fernandez made this our best visit to Jen’s yet. We sincerely hope Jen’s Guesthouse will invite him back for another performance because we will certainly be there again to enjoy his music. Thank you for bringing such an extraordinary artist to your venue—it truly made for an unforgettable night!

    I like to go during the holidays because it’s always beautiful. I think that it’s overpriced for what you get. I ordered Sea Bass which was very good but they could have gave me a potato with it. I had a cup of coffee and it was bad. I couldn’t even drink it. It either wasn’t fresh brewed or made very strong. I think they could improve their dessert menu. I don’t think I will be back for awhile. My stomach can’t get full from atmosphere alone. Sorry

    Service was outstanding on a very busy night. Not rushed at all. Beautiful decorations. The only food complaint was the Beef Wellington was very well done and chewy. My husband ordered the combination plate with filet, shrimp and chicken and said it was excellent. Waitress offered to have them make mine over, but I don’t like to waste food so I just ate it.
