    The food and service was outstanding as usual. We met the new owners. They are so nice and welcoming. I love that the people that work at Jen’s hasn’t changed with the new ownership nor the menu. I wish for them complete success! 💕

    Ravioli & soup rather than salad were delicious, we will do this again. My rockfish preparation is the best in town, and wife’s halibut was perfectly cooked, with mushroom white sauce complimenting it. Server Lonnie, and entire staff, took really good care of us.

    We went to dinner a Jen’s last night. We always make a reservation in the bar area. It’s a more relaxed atmosphere. We both had the special which was copper river king salmon. It was absolutely delicious. Presentation was beautiful! Our server Darryl was excellent as usual. I love going to a restaurant that the owner and servers greet you by name.

    Excellent food as always, this is our fancy dining night out place in Anchorage. Don’t let the strip mall location fool you, Jen was the best and those who took up his mantle have honored his elegant food legacy. Tonight we had rockfish, halibut and the white king salmon special. All were great. For locals: chicken fried steak isn’t on the summer menu as of 5/9/25.
