My new favorite restaurant! Excellent, fast service. Kim made it wonderful! My favorites were the forager’s pâté and the crème brûlée. Herring was delicious, salmon was perfectly prepared. Oysters and frikadeller also awesome. Will be going back!

We have the privilege of eating here every year with a large group, and it is always excellent. The service is great, and the food choices are some of the best in Anchorage. Be sure to get the "smash" appetizer, and the unpronounceable Norwegian dessert. The Key Lime is sublime!

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.

It is a quite place, off the beaten path. If you have not found this place to try you should. The appetizer was well displayed and went well with the wine. For the main dish it was outstanding. I had the ribeye with a steak sauce that was outstanding. The wife had the ahi tuna dish with peanut sauce and she enjoyed it tremendously. Not sure if it is due to the pandemic for the more romantic, cozy atmosphere but I loved this place.

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.

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!

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 😁

Had read good reviews about this place and didn’t disappoint. Really good frikadeller, chicken skewers, beet salad with scallops added, rødgrød med fløde and flourless chocolate cake. Very friendly service as well.
