A nice atmosphere with great tasting food. I would recommend making a reservation during peak times. Limited parking but overall the experience was lovely.

I had an excellent experience. The service was on point, and I didn't have to look around for the server. The meal was delicious 😋, do recommend making a reservation before going because they do get a lot of people. Will definitely visit again.

I visited Jenny’s for valentines dinner. The atmosphere was beautiful and the food was delicious. I had the valentines 💝 buffet dinner which consisted of appetizers, main and dessert. I also received a rose 🌹 and my date received chocolates 🍫 in celebration of valentines. There was lamb, 🍗 chicken, shrimp 🦐, 🍣 sushi, 🥗 salad bar, rice, potatoes, veges, lobster 🦞 bisque and numerous desserts. Because it was valentines we did have to wait a while before getting seated since there was lots of couples there. And it took very long to get our drinks. The food was absolutely delicious and I really enjoy myself. It was a very memorable valentines 💌 dinner. I would definitely visit again since the food is 🤤 tasty and the atmosphere is beautiful. Additionally the staff was very helpful and kind. However the food is very expensive as compared to other restaurants. Overall good experience and would definitely visit again for a special occasion. I would try their regular menu sometime, I am sure the food will be just as delicious as the valentines meal.

Listen to me, I was totally blown away by the steak. I've tried several restaurants and they never seem to get it right for me. 100/10 to Jenny's. Was totally on point. Our waiter Damien was so pleasant and very friendly.

Just can't say how disappointed we were with the food. Expect better. The waiter was the only person who provided a higher quality of service.

My husband and I visited the restaurant for my birthday dinner and honestly we have mixed reviews. The food was tasty and the portion size was on point. However the young lady who took our order was openly rude and disrespectful to us. I mentioned to her that we are not big eaters so we ordered one entre with a side of garlic herb bread and wine. She then proceeded to repeatedly ask us so you only ordering that no appetitiser. Honestly I started to wonder if she was understanding English. The gentleman server was very attentive and pleasent which allowed this review to get three stars. The ambience was immaculate with lovely music and views of the beach. We had to wait quiet a while to get a container for our leftovers and don't talk about paying the bill. We were paying with a card but only after fifteen minutes she just walked by and rudely said card payments are made by the bar. Well you know she received 0 tip. I don't think the hype of the restaurant is worth it. Nothing spectacular and the bad service made our time there very uncomfortable.

This was such a charming little restaurant. The ambience, so romantic climbing up the stone lined stairs and arriving into the open air restaurant with the sound of the ocean amidst the background music and the stars in the sky above, while the flowers and plants gave that touch of Italy as they completed the stone statement wall. The candle stand with that old world lamp shade was so ramtic. The teak furniture and wooden upper building gave that Caribbean charm. The service was second to none and the food totally delightful. Lobster on the island is seasonal so check before going whether they have lobster available. Also make sure and reserve your seats especially in high season as sometimes it can be full especially if it rains and dinning outdoor is not available.

The only reason this review received three stars was because I have mixed feelings for the waiters. The female waitress was aggressive and made waiter was nice. Maybe one wasn’t having the best day but we tense, simply asking a question she had an attitude and made us not want to ask any further questions. The food was tasteless and the fruit was spoilt in our dessert. The food was extremely pricey for the portion size.
Dahvarna Ali
Top notch service and very helpful staff. They didn’t have some of the ingredients for some of the drinks I wanted to order but the staff suggested alternatives and were generally very pleasant. The food and drinks were really good. Great ambiance and decor but I don’t know if there’s a protocol for if rain falls during the dinner.

I’ve visited them many times before and never been disappointed. Food is delicious and the quality is consistent with good portions as well.

Ambiences is lovely (whether inside or outside), the service is fast and waiters are courteous and helpful (even packing your to go box for you) and prices are reasonable given the location. Highly recommend

Don't let the initial mallside view of the bar and a relatively small, "exposed to mall traffic" casual dining area fool you ... ask to be seated on the patio, where a surprising covered, outdoor, more pleasant dining area is available. There was some outdoor noise from idiots playing outrageously loud music in their vehicles (visited on a Friday night), but that's not the restaurant's fault. Service was excellent and attentive, with the Manager also paying a visit to ensure all was well. I personally didn't eat a full meal during my visit, just an appetizer - which was decent - but my fellow diners DID seem to enjoy their meals. Will definitely return to try a full meal in the future.

It was a great day to visit this restaurant/ mall, we were happy the girl told us about patio dining. Really didn't want to dine indoors, the service was great. Seon our server was there every step of the way from walking in, serving and when it was time to leave. The price was fair not over price. There was 4 of us. 3 teenagers and myself. The food was okay, 2 of children liked their vegan choices my son and I liked our fish choice.

Went to celebrate my sister's birthday party. There were about 15 of us in total. It took 3 hours to get food. We ordered from their restaurant week menu which weren't that big. The portions were extremely small and not worth the price in my opinion. Talking to the manager made absolutely no sense and he did absolutely nothing about the long wait. He did not even come to our table and apologize. I will never dine here again. Save your money and go somewhere that appreciates their customers.

Service: 5/5 The service staff here is absolutely amazing! Our waiter was Jarred, and though new he was friendly, professional and quite knowledgeable about the menu. Food: 3.5/5 (Reason for the overall average rating) The food was above average relative to that of the dining experiences offered at West Mall. 1. The flavors were what you’d expect for the simple dishes however for the more refined dishes, the flavor was overdone. Examples: -the steak avocado toast tasted as though there was an excess of balsamic vinegar thus overpowering the subtle taste of the avocado and seasoned steak. - the pulled pork bbq lacked the smokiness which should have accompanied the bbq sauce. And the bbq sauce itself was more on the acidic side rather than a proper balance of flavors. 2. The portion size is a bit small especially for the speciality night- smoke meats where the amount of broccoli was enough for a 7 year old kid rather than the usual amount to dignify it as a side dish. 3. The food freshness was amazing! The veggies were fresh, The garnishes were well paired with their respective dishes. Mixed Drinks:4.5/5 Delicious mixed cocktails. Only downside is the sweetness of the simple syrup used- it battled with the taste of the other ingredients rather than complimented them. Ambience : 5/5 Perfect seating, music, lighting!! Great place for a casual date, girls night or family dinner. Recommendation: A must try is the Seafood Stew! The smokiness, tomato acidity and choice of seasons creates the perfect symphony of flavors with each spoonful of seafood!

Went to celebrate my daughter being awarded her degree. Now we both heard the food wasn't that good and the prices crazy. But we decided to form our own opinion. We went on a Tuesday, and they did have a special on called Pasta Tuesday, buy 1, and get 1 of the same or lesser value free. The portions were more than satisfying. Delicious food. Our server was very pleasant. Our drinks were mocktails and let me tell you, awesome! Great experience.

Went there to celebrate my bestie getting a new job. Beautiful atmosphere. Our server Michael was the best. His recommendations were awesome 👍 Food taste was 10/10
Carla Broomes
A very cosy restaurant with absolutely tasty food. Very well decorated, with nice soft colours and comfortable seating. The culinary options are wide and meals arrive within reasonable time. The wines are a bit on the pricey side, knowing what they costs, but otherwise the food is good value for money. I definitely recommend them for fine dinning and Italian cuisine options.

I went to Rizzoni’s for a dinner date with my other my significant other. I had a very enjoyable experience; the atmosphere was very beautiful, calm and scenic. The staff was very pleasant.The waitress was very good at recommending meal options and drinks. I enjoyed my meal and my drink. However my date didn’t enjoy his drink as much. The food and drinks didn’t take too long to arrive after ordering which is a plus. We would both definitely revisit Rozzonis for the tasty food and wonderful atmosphere.

Sushi and tapas were delectable. The ambiance of the deck was cozy and picturesque. Our group was a large one so it took a while to receive the order, but the presentation was worth the wait

Has the setting in terms of decor and view. Better music and service would make for a much better experience.

The food, the view, the service was amazing. The drinks! Red dragon roll didn't disappoint for the sushi lovers. If your not into to sushi, the burger is phenomenal. There's also pasta and Tapas menu

Great tasting selection and reasonable prices given that it is a fine dining restaurant. Without alcohol, you can easily order manage a two course shared meal plus dessert for $350- 400 pp or under. Perfect for special occasions.
Asma Ali
Made a reservation. Plentiful parking available. From the outside, it's very inviting. Upon entering, you are greeted warmly and given a seat. The interior is warm, and the decor is simply superb. The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were given some recommendations and decided on the Arnabeet Maklieh, which was "fried, seasoned cauliflower served with spicy taratour sauce." My friend ordered the Ghanem Meshwi - "tender cubes of specially prepared lamb tenderloin" - for her main and I ordered the Shawarma Beef - "thin slices of specially marinated beef roasted on an upright spit and served with Lebanese pickles and taratour sauce" for mine. The Osmallieh, "based crispy vermicelli with a layer of cream cheese." Their menu is definitely one that teases your palate, and the myriad of flavors experienced did justice to the price that you pay for it. It is expensive but worth a visit.

Lebanese cuisine at it’s finest. Beautiful Arabian decor and music. There are many options to choose from and each bite bursts with flavour. Definitely try the baklava sampler platter. The Arabic coffee is quite unique. This is definitely a place to have a great time.
Irfan Karamath
Service and food was exquisite. The shawarma was ok but the lamb chops was the best.
Henna Inspire
A restaurant with Lebanese and Arabic cuisine. Its design and style is authentic. It would be better if the staff could be more attentive to the customer. The food tastes good, the prices are a little above normal. or the weight of the plate can be increased at those prices.
