Amenities such as robes and slippers in the bathroom, a Nespresso coffee machine in our room and tasteful decorations were bonuses. Beautiful artwork upon exiting the elevator on every floor.

The rooms are spacious but not many places to relax and sit comfortably. There is more than enough room for a small table with at least two club chairs, a bench in front of the bed, maybe even a loveseat but instead it's just big open flooring with a king size bed and one chair- not really anywhere for more than one person to sit comfortably. There is a fridge which is always nice to have and the staff was pleasant and attentive. A free breakfast was included, they served egg sandwiches, yogurt, fruit and pastries but still not worth a price tag of almost $475+ a night. The website also makes it seem like the restaurant is open and available to guests but is was completely shut down, which was very disappointing. Again the staff was nice and attentive, the rooms were clean but considering how much we paid and how underwhelming the stay was I think 3 stars is actually a generous review.

Jedediah Hawkins is not just a wedding venue and it's an amazing wedding as well! I would come here all day for lunch or dinner.the staff here is amazing and very attentive to making sure you're taking care of. The food here is too notch and some of the best food I have had in a long time. My in law had some finger food passed around and everything was flavorful & cooked to perfection. No frills or nothing fancy but flank steak skewers, chicken skewers, grilled shrimp, fried arancini rice balls, and truffle arancini balls were 10/10 and out this world. Steak & chicken was so tender and seasoned to perfection. This place is located in St. James and a little out of the way for me but I'm a def do a day trip where I'll hit a winery and have lunch here with the wife. I'm looking forward to seeing what their lunch and dinner menu looks like and definitely looking forward to having a steak here. Overall this place is a beautiful place to have your wedding with a great staff and amazing food. You will not be disappointed and what I love about this place, it's not over the top and reasonable prices for weddings. They offer different packages and very dope place.

Quick disclaimer that this review is solely about the restaurant portion of Jedidiah Hawkins (and…read morenot the Inn). For those that are confused by this, you can totally stay at Jedediah Hawkins, but you're also entirely allowed to just have a fantastical dinner, like my wife and I did for her summer birthday a few months back. Well actually, there's reason we wanted to come here for a while and that was due to Jedediah also being able to host weddings. We looked into JHI as a venue, but in the end we realized it wasn't for us and instead got to check the place out for a special occasion (a la her birthday). The place feels like a little Victorian bed and breakfast when walking around on the grounds and once inside, the seating areas and ambiance emanates an older take to them, like dining in a historic house. It wasn't necessarily special, but lended itself well to the vibe. Wait staff was relatively on point and our waitress (as well as a few other employees) were very friendly. The menu prices were also friendly enough for this slightly pricier spot. Not a huge menu, but enough choices for the two of us to find several tasty meal options. We began with the truffle fingerling fries that had parmesan and chive on them with a side of crème fraiche. They were absolutely delicious. Crispy with a nice, soft potato interior. For the main meals, the wife got the 1/2 roasted chicken with lemon jus, cheddar grits, and broccolini (which was all superb) while I went with the mushroom and black truffle risotto (which was outstanding). Both dishes had flavors that really popped and from presentation to tastes, everything was spot on. Oh, and so was the crusty bread slices and spread given to start (almost forgot about that!). What I also can't forget to mention is a part of Jedediah that might not technically count as the restaurant: the speakeasy. It's nothing elaborate, but right near the entrance to the dining room is a slightly hidden gated off stairway which (if it's not reserved) can be entered in where you'll find a bar and a handful of tables and seats. This spot was something we really wanted to try to check out and luckily no one was using it the night we came. Our waitress even offered for us to have dessert down there (which was awesome) and one of the managers delivered everything down. What did we have as the final portion of our meal? Some beignets with cardamom sugar, ricotta, and strawberry sauce (which were definitely tasty, but didn't live up to Cafe Du Monde in NOLA) and some after dinner drinks of an Irish coffee with Jameson and a blackberry-based cocktail on the main menu that I decided to save for having with dessert. It was a sweet way to end a fantastic trip to Jedediah Hawkins. Overall, Jedediah Hawkins is a wonderful spot to have a meal. It might not necessarily be an everyday dining location as it has a specific old school vibe to it, but then again, if you can afford it, the menu, staff, and space comes together to warrant a trip almost any time as well as an easy five stars for this review. And if you're too full after eating, you could always stay there and review that experience. Bonus!

I always bring cleaning supplies/Clorox wipes along and I wiped down all areas the best that I could, but its not like I travel with a mop. I couldn't exactly clean the floors. The bathroom cleanup I did turned my wipes brown, when was the last time this room was actually cleaned? TV in the room was breaking, which management was aware of. FYI its not hard to replace a cheap tv with a new tv, not sure if management has ever heard of a site called Amazon, they sell tvs and cleaning supplies , just saying. On top of it there was a large group who took over the communal spaces , with lots of small children who they were too busy drinking to parent. The tiny bathtub sized "resort" pool was overtaken by the unsupervised children with giant floats. By a miracle these kids survived their pool takeover, it takes a moment for a child to drown. On top of it these people were slobs leaving garbage, toys, fishing poles, crab traps all over. We mentioned it to the woman working who did nothing about any of it. We left the resort and spent most of the time at the beach to avoid drama and stress , we made the best of it because we couldn't find another hotel with availability to pack up and leave to go to. Overall the place is dirty, obviously mismanaged or management is in over their heads who can know, and there are many other much cleaner places in the area to stay for the prices they are charging. Overall a shame and disappointing.

Prior to arrival, we made multiple attempts to contact the office to report our delay due to traffic, but received no response. Upon arrival, the office was locked, calls went unanswered, and I was forced to seek assistance from another guest to locate staff. The initial interaction with THE OWNER! --whose name I did not obtain- she dismissive and unprofessional. Although she gave an apology during check out, it did not mitigate the inconvenience and stress caused by the lack of communication and preparedness. I had arranged for a friend to stay with me, but due to the uncomfortable experience, she chose to stay elsewhere that night. This experience reflects a significant lapse in service standards. Professionalism, clear communication, and respect are fundamental expectations for any guest, and these were not met. As a result, I would not consider returning.

The living room couch is old and uncomfortable, the WiFi isn't great, the ice bucket had bugs in it, but the kitchen was clean enough. The bedroom only has 1 side table, the bed was super bouncy and high off the floor, pillows were horrible, the bathroom has no sink space and no electrical outlet or fan. I had to sit on the floor in the bedroom to blow dry my hair. At least they had a hairdryer. The ironing board was so old we could hardly use it without damaging our clothes. The AC works ok - it's pretty cool in the living room but the vent in the bedroom is small and doesn't cool well. Needless to say, we won't be back.
