    Went on Christmas day and the atmosphere was amazing. The workers from the greeters to servers to the busers and the manager were all welcoming friendly and amazing to work with. The manager stopped by mid meal to make sure everything was good and it felt wonderful to be checked on by him to make sure not only are they doing good but if they can improve. Our Server was awesome he was patient friendly and worked hard to make sure we got our meals and drinks out in a timely fashion. Also had recommendations and suggestions for us to make ordering easier.

    We enjoyed the French Onion Tart appetizer (brandied cherries, pears, gorgonzola cheese and baby spinach salad). For dinner, my husband got the Grilled Kodiak Scallops (rosemary-blood orange reduction, risotto with fennel, pumpkin seed brittle) - delicious! Best we have ever had. I had the Herb Crusted Rockfish (tomato-kalamata olive-caper relish, house vegetables and basmati rice); also delicious. Nice atmosphere. Friendly waitstaff. Enjoyed a date night at Jens’.

    Always a great time here. Food is amazing! We had the Calamari and Brie as apps and then the table has filet mignons, roasted duck and halibut cheeks. All of the meals were cooked perfect and they really know their sauces. Only negative thought was that it was a busy night and it was a little loud.
