Jessie's restaurant

I have been going to Jessie's now since a friend of mine gave me a gift certificate for Christmas. Now, I like to make my reservation the same night I attend, because I am one of the folks who happen to love the window seats on the porch. If you do not reserve one in advance, they are filled by Sat night. Of course, if you go on a slower night, you will not have to deal with all of the hustle and bustle of such a busy restaurant. I love everything on the menu, but love to pick something that is offered on their specials board. Two weeks ago, the chef offered a wonderful fresh baked Salmon, that was topped with a crust of seasoned cajon spices, and served with a light orange sauce. The veal is wonderful, the soups divine, and are all freshly made on the premises. Leave room for dessert, because they are super!! Last week I had a mini rum cake made with lady fingers, and topped with a sweet, strawberry riccota cheese that was filled with chocolate and almonds. The serv ... more

The service is quite good, and the lovely old building is a romantic backdrop to a wonderful evening. less

The restaurant named Jessie's is located in a lovely old colonal style building, which was once the home of one of the towns vips. The decor of the building is very romantic, with lots of nostaglic picutues of the woman, Jessie, whose name graces the restaurant. The restaurant is known for their Italian fare, but they also have very good fresf fish, succulent veal, and many chicken dishes also. The soups are all made freshly on the premises, and the desserts are divine! Some of the veal specials I have had, were Veal Horseradish, which features shrimp, sea-legs, mushrooms, green onions, and grape tomatoes..and this wonderul dish served with a horseradish cream sauce is served over angel hair pasta. I have also tried Veal Saltimbocca and Veal Diana, and both were very good. There is a very good wine list, with some of my favorite Australian wines listed at a reasonable price. Appitizers are unusual, such as a brushetta with artichoke and eggplant baked with melted ch ... more

I love dining on the enclosed porch area, which is non-smoking, but also like being in the main dining room in the winter, when the gas fire place is lit, and the tiny lights sparkle around the mantel, enhanced again by an antique frame with a very young Jessie on her wedding day. there is out door dining in the summer, and a great bar which is open on the weekends. Pizza is served on the weekends, and is more Italian than most I have tried, the crust being crusty on the outside, but soft and yummy on the inside. Prices are reasonable, and the entertainment card is accepted there on all days, but holidays. If you are passing through, give this restaurant a try, as I dont believe you will be disappointed!! less
