If you are looking for a cute little town and authentic Italian food, I recommend trying Jesters'. The restaurant is cozy, the service is wonderful, and the food is delicious. Everything we ordered tasted freshly made just for us. Appetizers of Eggplant, mussels, and stuffed peppers were very good. The five of us each ordered something different for the main... More

Had calamari for app not over... More

The staff was very friendly. The food is ok. I've only been once and that was because the restaurant I normally go to "Oliver's" was closed on Mondays. But it was ok.

Jester's is a great upgrade to previous restaurants at the same location. The super salads and amazing bruschetta with balsamic reduction are worth the visit alone. Great location too, in the center of Bordentown. No reservations needed, plenty of seating for all.

Met friends here for lunch, first visit. Excellent service, broad Italianesque menu, good selection of daily specials. The presentation of the food is beautiful. No matter what you order, and how good it is ( and it *is* all good), you will find yourself looking over at other tables to see what they ordered, so you can order it the... More

Went here for an early dinner on the 3rd. Bordentown has a quaint, historic area and Jester's is right in the middle. The building is very cool and the place has a nice layout. The service is great; from the (I presume) owner holding the door for us to the hostess and server. I was in the mood for beer... More

Bartender was very nice, and the patrons sitting at the bar were very friendly. Love their little tapas menu, this way you get to try a little of this and a little of that for a great price! The "tuna salad" was fantastic! Have been there twice now while on business; in June and again in October - will definitely... More
