Jens’ Restaurant was a large place in a strip shopping center.  Jens Hansen was the original owner and his photo hangs in one room.  He passed away in 2012 and in 2016 his Executive Chef Nancy Alip bought the place and still continues as chef.  As you entered there was a large bar area set up with dining places on the counter and an additional large dining room with walls accented with wine paraphenalia and art that mostly was for sale.  There were two really interesting  ceiling fixtures with colored glass pieces in the room, some music in the background and white tableclothes and napkins on the nicely spaced tables.  The walls were accented by a strip of corks that were where a waincot might have ended.  They offered a large menu that featured some Danish dishes as well as crepes, pasta, seafood, meat and a daily special.  The waiter told us that all the seafood was fresh, never frozen, thus you would find no crab on their menu.  Service was friendly and helpful.  They did charge a split fee for a pasta entree they divided for us in the kitchen.   Continue reading →
