    One of our favorite restaurants and worth the drive, consistently providing high quality, delicious, farm to table foods. The duck breast was the best I have ever had, and my wife said the same about her braised short rib. The appetizer, salad and dessert were great as well.

    Anneke Jans is a gem, especially on a cold, snowy evening. The valet service was much appreciated—it was seamless and made arriving in the frigid weather so much more comfortable. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service matched the setting. I ordered the special, a unique seafood dish, and it exceeded my expectations. It was hearty, hot, and absolutely delicious—exactly what I needed on such a chilly night. The flavors were well-balanced and thoughtful, showcasing the kitchen’s creativity. Overall, Anneke Jans delivered an exceptional experience. I’ll definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy yet elevated dining experience.

    This was a celebratory birthday lunch for two. We were promptly seated in our requested preferred location. The window-side views are unparalleled just about anywhere. Both the host and server greeted my wife by name and wished her a happy birthday. Service from Kate was professional and most friendly. Food was quite tasty. If I had to dig for a criticism, my wife's lobster and corn chowder was served at the same time as her lobster role. We did not think we needed to specify chowder first. I think the kitchen should have known better. This is not an everyday dining room, and if you're looking for a value meal, the value is in the extraordinary atmosphere and bold ocean view. This is truly a special occasion venue. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
