    Jens’ is reliably outstanding. The ambiance is so cozy and inviting and the service we’ve received there has been superb. It’s our go to for celebrating our anniversary and we’re never sorry for the choice! This time we had an onion tart appetizer (a slice served with a delicious spinach side salad) and considered just ordering the rest of the tart and calling it a night. Delicious. For entrees we had the Alaskan king salmon and the filet mignon. Both melted in our mouths and were perfectly paired with delicious sides. Excellent reasonably priced wine list and beautiful local art round out the experience. We left happy and smiling!
