Reviews for Jeninni Kitchen + Wine Bar in Pacific Grove, CA

By far one of the best restaurants in PG. The flavor of the food is exquisite and unmatched. Every item you order will blow you... away so make sure to come back and try everything. Read more

Great food, wine menu, ambiance, service. Would absolutely come back. We didn’t make a reservation although for a Monday it... was quite busy. We got the sourdough, cauliflower, fried chicken. Everything was fresh, thoughtfully layered with flavor (eventhe charred sourdough), and well seasoned. Read more

Outstanding service from Nick! Amazing food as well. This is not my first time eating here. I always get eggplant fries and the... octopus and end with an affogato. I dream of these items when they’re closed or I’m not in town. I’ve had the chickentorchon before and that is also excellent! Read more

The food and service was great. Their recommendations were amazing. I really loved their dish called the bourride. It’s... basically a seafood broth made with saffron. It has a rich creamy texture and finger licking good. We also ordered the lambshank which was tasty as well. The lamb was crispy in the outside; tender and juicy on the inside. Read more

Found this place on a whim, and I'm glad we did! Small and intimate dining area with large windows to allow us to see the... setting sun and warm us up on the cooling early evening. Started with the chicken liver pate, mushroom soup, ahi crudo, andtheir eggplant fries. The reisling gelee on the plate brightened up the richness of the dish and the bitterness from thecharred sourdough worked really well with the mousse. Our server mentioned that the eggplant fries was their signature app. Interesting texture of the fries as they came out, but started to become soggy and more watery as it sat at the table. Theaioli that was served paired nicely and the lemon helped to cut through the oil. The octopus with romesco would be my personalchoice for appetizer. Tender legs, but they could provide a bit sharper knife to cut the octopus. The crispy lamb shank wasvery very good, tender meat with a very flavorful and crispy outer crust as it was flash fried to finish. The za'atar spiceblended with the slightly spicy broth really rounded it all together. The star of the show by far was the chickentorchon...with eight thick slices, more then enough for our four top sauced with roasted chicken jus poured table side. Freshsauce vert sprinkled atop with a bed of soubise. The chicken was super juicy and tender rolled up with a nice and thin crispyskin. A definite must order! Will definitely make a plan to stop by again the next time I'm in town. Read more

Well plated dishes that taste just as good as they look. You'll definitely want to pick a few dishes because they travel well if... you wish to eat them at a later time. They have a wide variety of alcoholic beverages to choose from. Read more

Went for dinner. Had the moules/frites, mussels and fries. Nice different approach to the traditional French dish. Very tasty... sauce with tahini. Well seasoned. Mussels were fresh and flavorful. The tahini sauce give a bit of gritty feeling. I would maybepass it through a sieve before serving. Also, the fries should be in a separate bowl so they don’t become soggy. The pickledvegetables were very good. Wine pour is small, most likely not even 5oz. Very frustrating. Everyone knows reading my reviewsthat I don’t appreciate being ripped off by wine prices and/or quantity and this restaurant is no exception to that bad trend.Disappointing. The menu is not extensive but dishes looked good. Read more

Had a really nice dinner here, with plenty of outdoor seating. We started with the ham + cheese plate, with nice serrano ham,... great cheese, and excellent fresh bread. I had the fried chicken for my entree, which was fantastic -- the batter was light,crispy, and delicious. Service is very friendly, as is the owner. Good choice for a romantic dinner! Read more
