A lovely venue and friendly service! A great place to meet friends for a drink after work. I haven't eaten here yet but I certainly plan to soon. There's always a sporting event or other special on offer so it's worth popping in to have a look.

JennaVIVA has it all, well almost. Most balanced restaurant in Somerset West. Great value for money, you certainly get more than what you pay for. Service is outstanding and the best that we have recieved in a very long time. We stayed for over 5 hours and enjoyed every moment. The cocktails are out of this world. I recommend the... More

We just love going to Jennaviva for the vibe and atmosphere, the great service and delicious food (including best sushi in town). After a hard week we find it so relaxing to go there on a Friday for sundowners at the bar on the top floor followed by a dinner downstairs with a quality musician strumming away on his guitar...

Jenna Viva was a very special place when it opened, but it seems it has come under new management, and it has lost some of the initial sparkle. The sushi is very good though.

It is very difficult to find long lasting quality and service in the restaurant industry. Many restaurants start but soon fade. It has been a wonderful experience to enjoy so many excellent meals and service at JennaVIVA over the last 5 years since it first opened. We visit at least twice a week so we qualify to give a very... More

I have been to this restaurant multiple times and I've never been disappointed. There are multiple levels/corners that creates various atmospheres in one restaurant. We've been seated downstairs a couple of times for some fine dining and live music. But with our last visit we invited a couple of friends for drinks upstairs. There's a special on every night of...

With good food and live entertainment this restaurant offers it all. Not really suitable for kids, so it is a great escape for adults. The food was top notch and on weekends they have someone singing (relaxing music) for entertainment. The service was also up to standard and we will definitely go again.
