My girlfriends and I had a horrid experience there. There were seven or eight of us, we go out once or twice a month as a group and were trying Jens for the first time. Most of us ordered their seafood sampler dish with lobster, a few sparse scallops, and some seaweed salad. First of all, the total food on... more

WONDERFUL! Service and food above and beyond time and cost. If you are looking for a grand store front, forget it, but do continue in and you will be so pleased. more

There is little one can say to not put Jen's at the top on any "foodies" list of places to dine in Anchorage. In truth I thnk the locals that go there would prefer to keep this as there on little secret place it's so goo. I had a Sashimi Napoleon that was just flat out wonderful. Both nights I... more

Jen's is a family-run restaurant that deserves its place atthe top of Anchorage's every expanding restaurant line-up. The fish is terrific and the salads are fresh. Each meal receives the highest level of attention. I travel there with business associates, my wife, and by myself and the level of service and attention never falters. Some of the wait staff has... more

After reading the rave reviews, my husband, father and I decided to try Jens'. We were surprised to see Jen himself near the front who greeted us as we went by (we didn't realize who it was until later). The decor is amazing--- crimson walls with local (I believe) and colorful artwork.. The food (which rotates daily depending on local... more

Haute Cuisene - great tasting, pretty, but small portions & high prices. Great place to take someone you're trying to impress. more

You MUST go here. The food is simply amazing, I am a foodie to the core and had a hard time finding good food in Alaska. On my last night in Anchorage we happened to choose Jens'. What a gold mine! The food is SO good it makes me cry to think it is so far away. Go and enjoy... more

My wife and I just spent 18 days in Alaska on our honeymoon. This is the restaurant we'll remember 10 years from now. The food was out of this world -- fresh, creative, everything prepared perfectly. I ordered salmon, my wife ordered rockfish. Both were memorable. Our waiter was equally good. We stumbled in there after a week of backpacking;... more

We dined at Jens' in October for our first anniversary. Everything was fantastic. I had a question about the sauce on an entree I was considering - and the server went into the kitchen and brought me out a sample of the sauce! Wonderful service. All-around, a fantastic evening. Our entrees (scallop dish for me, halibut for my husband) were... more

Jen himself greeted us at the door. It's in a strange part of town -- in a little mini-mall and doesn't look fancy. But when you get inside, you find it's a little piece of paradise. The service is comparable to any five-star place in the world and the food was wonderful. A gigantic wine list gives you more choices... more
