Jens' Restaurant an Anchorage Landmark


Take my advice guys, if you want to make your wife/girlfriend happy, take her to Jens' Restaurant for your anniversary.

I have been to Jens' many times but never for an anniversary dinner. Jens' has an extensive wine selection and a wonderful menu. It is a perfect blend of classic and cutting edge. The menu does tend to change over time, due primarily to what Jens' can get his hands on. The variety on the menu is always fresh.

I had the pan seared Kodiak Scallops. They were served over a roasted garlic cream with truffle oil, pink peppercorns. The scallops were done to perfection...sweet and tender. The presentation was perfect served on a large shell.

My wife had rack of lamb. Crusted with herbs and cooked just right. The flavor of the lamb was balanced perfectly with the herbs and spices.

Toward the end of the evening a special song came over the house stereo, and a sparkler was brought to us and a commemorative photo was taken. Later we were given a card with that photo. The smile on my wife's face said it all.
