We booked a reservation through Resy for a party of four at 7pm, 2 weeks in advance. Also note this dining experience is a European style dining experience expect to spend 2.5-3 hours dining there. We showed up 10 minutes early to our reservation and they seated us at the bar while we waited for our table. A hostess came up to my wife and stated that they would make the reservation work for our party of 4, because they saw a party of 2 listed. This surprised us because on her Resy app it stated "4 guests". Hostess came back and apologized and said she looked at the wrong reservation - no problem. Bar service was slow, there were 2 other people at the bar and then the 4 of us. We ordered 4 drinks and didn't get them until we were seated, which was around 20 minutes total waiting for 4 drinks, but the drinks were delicious! Now the food menu...there is no physical menu, you have to read it on a chalk board. The staff does take note of your allergies BUT if you want food modifications they do not allow that. My friend wanted the steak tartare without the egg and the waitress stated "we do not allow any modifications to any of the food items on our menu". He decided not to order it after that. Overall table service was excellent! Here is our order and review: Duck Fat Potatoes - amazing, delicious, and a must order! Fried Brie - very good! It looks like a giant fried cheese stick and it was delicious! Morels Mushroom - this was delicious! Dry aged cowboy Ribeye - this was the biggest disappointment of the night. My wife and I decided to split the steak and our friends did the same thing. We ordered two steaks and each steak is $135 but you can only get it medium rare. It's unfortunate that you pay that much and can't even cook it to your liking, which for us is medium. The steak was very underwhelming. Too raw in the middle and very chewy. Jillian did stop by and asked us about our steak and she seemed a little surprised that we weren't too fond of it because it was too rare. Now the desserts were awesome! We decided to split between the 4 of us. Chocolate Creme brûlée- so good and not super sweet! Very enjoyable. Pistachio Cheesecake - I love cheesecake and pistachios are always good Grilled stickies - this was the winner for us! Vanilla ice cream with honey drizzle on top of the grilled sticky. Yes, I will order this all the time. We were happy we got to try this place but for us it was very underwhelming, especially with that dry aged cowboy ribeye. read more

Everything about this restaurant screams class....drinks at the bar awaiting our reservation..party of 5...there is a lounge area...bar area with stools and a dining table ( we were seated there and it was nice and secluded from other diners) and a high table...maybe 9 tables in dining room. Reservations a MUST...dinner reservations are stacked because each meal is individually prepared by one chef....service at the bar and at our table was exceptional..will definitely return in the future....oh yeah....you have to try the Bone Marow!!!! read more

This place has been on my bucket list for a while but because of the drive from Pittsburgh, have been procrastinating. I finally had the chance when I went with some friends for a special occasion and loved the experience. The menu is short but every dish is unique and crafted with care. We came specifically for the chips and caviar and it did not disappoint. The beets were also very refreshing and delicious. Mushrooms were a bit on the oily side and was expecting a bit more meat in the pasta. Desserts ended the dinner wonderfully as we loved the fresh figs on top. Will definitely be back to try new menu items when the season changes! read more

Amazing food and service at this place! Jillian is the most welcoming and sweet host. We came this day for the Harvest Dinner, six courses with wine pairing available. All ingredients are locally grown and sourced, so fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend. read more

The food was top quality and worth the higher pricing. Pork chop was perfect! Jillian is a hands on owner and so very personable. She is a pleasant extra to a very nice atmosphere. But unfortunately not everything was as expected. Our meal took three hours with no food served in the first 75 minutes. The problem as explained was a mishandling of our salad orders to the kitchen which caused a severe backup of everything that followed and I do mean everything. We were forewarned that service had some issues by friends who were there recently. I suspect our experience was a bit more complex than theirs. Service aside this restaurant deserves a five. Once taken into account the best I can do is a three. But we will be back looking for a five the next time around. read more

Best service...ALL staff (relatively small number) from the bartender to the servers. Very cheerful and helpful and efficient and attentive to all of our requests. The food was amazing. 4 of us shared the Cowboy Ribeye, Duck Fat Potatoes (AMAZING!), and a wedge salad with great dressing. A nice touch: Jillian periodically checked in on us to see how things were going with our meal. Loved so many things about this place that we will definitely return! read more

I just visited Jillian's for the first time, and it definitely won't be the last! Jillian was so kind and welcoming, and the ambiance was so cozy and stylish. The food was incredible. We ordered the wedge salad, white bean dip, burgers, and cheesecake for dessert- and honestly, I couldn't even pick a favorite. Everything was amazing. If you're thinking about checking this place out, do it! Such a gem. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Jillian’s - White bean dip and blue cheese wedge - Caterers Near Me - New Kensington, Pennsylvania

Way overpriced. Staff not helpful. Seated without a word on how things there work. No one came to ask if we wanted a drink. Who writes prices on a chalkboard and rubs them out with a cloudy new price. We walked out. read more

The food, the atmosphere and the staff were all spectacular!!! We went twice in one week while visiting the area. Cannot recommend this enough!! read more

Now called Jillian's Restaurant - this is a must try! When you enter there is a super cute bar area with a sitting area and the dining area. The menu is not huge, but the flavors and quality of the food is fantastic. We chose to start with a few cocktails that were great and each had a salad with the bread service. All delicious! The Australian wagyu was cooked to perfection and the Summer Seafood Scampi was spot on. The scallops were literally the best I've had in my life! We took home a piece of the moussaka that is absolute perfection. This was a drive for us, but we will be back! Keep up the good work! read more

Excellent experience at the newly renamed Jillian's. Perfectly cooked tomahawk with wild mushrooms and crispy potatoes. Their handcrafted cocktails always pair well with all their carefully curated dishes. I can appreciate the care and preparation that goes into their featured entrees, we have never been disappointed in any of our meal selections. They also frequently have live music, pay them a visit! read more

Call for Catering AKA Jillian's was PHENOMENAL! I highly, highly recommend this restaurant. Great relaxing bar and lounge area. Dining room is not large, but it is roomy as the tables are nicely spaced and the room is comfortably "Spartan" in it's decor. Every dish the three of us ordered was fantastic! You gotta go! read more

Amazing - best place in New Kensington for a fine dining experience. They have an awesome oyster special on Thursdays, and a fresh and revolving menu weekly, with brunch on Sundays.

I just can't say enough about how well executed the dishes at this unassuming gem in New Kensington are. Had the rare chance to hit them for lunch after taking mom to an appointment. Do not put off trying their food. Everything is fresh and good. It may not look open from the outside but once you get inside you are transported to a hip modern made fresh paradise. They also have great cocktails and bar seating. read more

A great culinary experience for brunch, lunch or dinner! Jillian does a great job at running the front of the house while Chef Phil creates magic in the kitchen. A very personal experience for each of their guests. Looking forward to see all of the great business they'll bring to New Ken! read more

Menu varies and is fabulous. Really appreciated the service ...didn't feel rushed, felt like an old fashioned dining experience!!! The chef takes care of your entire meal + Jillian, his fiancé, delivers excellence (but with a down home, personal touch). We will def be going back there and from Pittsburgh, the drive wasn't bad at all!! read more
