Jens' Restaurant

The food was Okay. Nothing to be excited about. The calamari was amazing but everything else went downhill from there. The bread was cold and just sliced sandwich bread, nothing special. The salads were mediocre, flavors blended and not that great. I had the beet salad and my husband had the Cesar salad, his was way too vinegary not even sure it they even used anchovy sauce. The pasta was horrrrrrible not even cooked properly and the sauce was bland and not very favorable. I had the ribeye steak and it was totally fatty could barely eat. Seasoned Veggies were two pieces of zucchini and a ton of mashed potatoes. The chutney was cold and not great. So bummed heard so much about the restaurant and couldn’t wait to go, I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Can’t believe it had such high reviews. It was my birthday tonight…. Booo Jen Roy

Saturday afternoon. No particular place to enjoy the rare sunlight in the winter. We came and had couple drinks with appetizer and amazing bread pudding.

Loved this place. The staff were friendly and attentive. Katherine was great! I wish I hadn't aggressively eaten the charcuterie board before I could get a picture. It had so many flavor combinations to try. The the house salad with the strawberry vinaigrette was light and refreshing as it was a bit warm outside today. Our steaks were seasoned and cooked perfectly. My filet fell apart in my mouth. The scalloped potatoes were a perfect contrast to the seasoned filet. We will see you again! Thanks 😁

Would 100% recommend Jens' Restaurant. The atmosphere is quiet and warm, a great place to have a conversation ans be able to hear each other. Their charcuterie board is full of flavors that will treat your taste buds. Their main meals are fresh and tasty, paired with their wine selection, it makes dinner great. Definitely worlds best carrot cake too!

This was the first fine dining restaurant we visited in Anchorage, and we have been back several times. Despite being fine dining, they're actually also a nice place to go with well behaved kiddos too, and even offer a kids menu. They do a very good job with their fish offerings. The black cod should be tried at least once if you like fish. It's very rich and tasty. They also do a great job with the Alaskan favorites, halibut and salmon, which are always moist and flavorful. Other favorites of ours include the beet salad, and I'm especially fond of their Virgil's chocolate mousse. I'm rather picky when it comes to chocolate desserts, by which I mean that I'll enjoy it no matter what, but I'm not going to say that it deserves to be hyped unless it actually does a good job. Most places have desserts that are just way too sweet, and the sugar content overwhelms the chocolate flavor. This one is just right. It's got a hint of espresso that accents the chocolate nicely, and fresh strawberries, and really nice texture. If you're a fan of the flavor of chocolate and don't like it to be overwhelmed with sugar (looking at you salted caramel & buttercream frosting), this dessert is for you. My wife is fond of their key lime pie as well. Maybe not the best ever, but in contention for the best in Anchorage certainly. Service is always friendly as well. We've never had a bad time here. Thanks for the great meals!

We started with the charcuterie board. It had a nice variety of meat, cheeses, & fruit. It came out quick, just after we got our drinks. The rockfish and salmon were fresh. The food was nice and hot when we got it. The vegetables on the dishes were nothing special. They were cut big but cooked thoroughly. The rockfish had a nice sauce. The salmon had a chunk of butter with cranberries that was supposed to melt on the fish but it was very thick and too sweet. Service was pretty good. Our water cups were never empty. Overall it was good and we will be going back.

Went to Jens' for dinner with friends at the end of our fishing trip. They were busy but still attentive. Good wine selection and fair prices. You really should order the sockeye salmon or halibut since their specialty is seafood but I opted for the beef Bolognese pasta since I was fished out after nearly a week or seafood. Pasta came out perfect temp with well cooked noodles. Bolognese was great and made just right.

First time in Anchorage for work, and a friend recommended coming to Jen's for dinner. We were taken care of by Kim who was extremely attentive and made some great recommendations for our meal. She suggested the calamari to start and it was unlike any version I've ever had. It was extremely tender and full of flavor, and I would order it twice if I could. My colleague had the rockfish and loved it and I enjoyed the ribeye steak which was a very generous portion at 14 oz. This was a very enjoyable dining experience, and between the food, the ambiance, and the attentiveness of our server Kim, I would absolutely come back again.
