Fodor's Review:
Despite being in a midtown strip mall, Jens' is a playful restaurant where the menu changes daily. Colorful paintings grace white walls, and friendly gray-haired waiters greet new arrivals. The dinner menu usually includes Alaskan salmon, halibut, and rockfish, along with such specialties as rack of lamb, tenderloin of veal, and an "almost world-famous" pepper steak. Head chef Jens Haagen Hansen's heritage reveals itself at lunch when the Danish specials appear. For a lighter evening meal, sample the appetizers in the wine bar, where Jens holds court. Reservations are suggested, but they can usually accommodate drop-ins.

A pleasant night

Nothing is far in Anchorage - so the 10 minute drive from downtown is definitely worth it. Next to Marx Bros, this is the best in Anchorage, and the owner's sense of humor comes out in the food as well as conversation. Salmon is very well done here.
No Question about where to have lunch!

While perusing the AAA (sorry)travel guide for Alaska I stumbled upon the description for Jens' "Danish by day, French by night." Well, there was no question where my Mom and I would have lunch. The food was excellant, the Carlsberg was cold, and Akvavit would have been nice to compliment the meal, but I delt with it. I would travel 4,400 miles anytime for a meal at Jens'!
