    This was a nice place and my family and I had a really good meal. The ambiance overall was nice, all wood all around with sportsman themes and I love the old telephone hanging on the wall. It was a bit humid inside as it was a 98 degree day... The waitstaff was polite and very friendly, we had called and made the reservation for my wife and i's 25th anniversary, of which they did not mention after asking on the phone if it was a special occasion... They seated us in the center of the dining room while there was a window seat overlooking the river still open. (Also noticing the top windows in the dining room were quite grimy and would let in a lot more light if cleaned.) The orders went in fine, food came out in due time and the waiter upon pouring the wine said he would maintain the wine glasses, but did not... he did come with one round of water refills when I set my glass towards the edge of the table. We got Duck Fat Fries for the table, Black pepper Aioli ~ shaved parm and tasty pieces of smoked bacon. They were very tasty and we cleaned the plate except three completely black fries on the plate which were unedible from the bottom of the fry basket which some how made it on the plate. The waiter also mentioned that he would clear the bread and app plates "to give us some more room" and did not... Then commenting on the empty duck fry plate "that we must have enjoyed it" as "it was empty" but then not taking it... We stacked all the plates in the center of the table and they were not taken until he came to box the leftovers... My wife had the Tenderloin Tips... she ordered them medium rare but they were well done and no pink at all... she reported that they were tender even tho over done and that the Fettuccini was cooked nicely although there was an overbearing amount of sauce and the wild rice was toothy... I had the Blackened Redfish ~ a Creole favorite, I get it when ever I can (and had it two weeks ago in central Florida)... the fish was treated nicely, the sauce was smooth with a light kick over a bed of wild rice that I thought was cooked well... The shrimps were a nice touch and a nice size as well... My mother got the redfish as well and did enjoy it too. My Father ordered the Walnut encrusted Walleye which he stated the coating was a bit thick, but said it was tasty and he did enjoy it. We all enjoyed our fish while of all three fish dishes, all three separate plates had bones we found. The seasonal veg on every plate was the same, one small carrot split in half which was quite tasty and well cooked, three small sprigs of asparagus which was perfectly cooked, one slice of red pepper (which my wife commented was odd), one mushroom split in half that I believe was cooked in a cognac (which my mother said was "very spicy") and a 1/4 of a small red onion which was cooked nicely while still having a good tooth. The meal it's self was very tasty and we enjoyed ourselves but There were a few simple things that could have been done to make the experience better. over all a nice enjoyable meal.... 3.8 stars

    The TOMAHAWK!!!

    First time dining experience. Saw the restaurant sign on the main road many times but never made the turn. Finally, tonight, our first experience. I had no idea what to expect since I didn't review the menu ahead of time. So it turns out they serve TOMAHAWK ribeyes on special occasions and they had a few left from Valentine's!!! Golly!!! The special menus said they have them in 2-5 pound sizes but the smallest they had left was a 3 pound! Well, I couldn't help myself!!! I ordered it MED with flame charring on the outside! It was served with baby golden potatoes and fresh vegetables. My wife had the Surf & Turf! Pictures to follow. Our waiter, Shane, described everything thoroughly without our prompting! We also had the Winter Sangria Moscoto drinks and then the wife added a Magic Margarita! We took home chocolate cheesecake and white chocolate bread pudding with rum sauce!!! We can't wait to go back!!! We have eaten at many high-end steak restaurants and this BY-FAR surpassed all expectations of a good dinner!!! I cannot recommend enough!!!

    Reuben.  Yum!

    Beautiful view. Clean. Friendly. I had the rueben with fries. It was huge. And heavenly. The toasted rye, cheese pulls every bite, lean, well seasoned pastrami, creamy dressing, and sauerkraut. Yum! Also had a hot chocolate with a mound of whip cream. It was hot and perfect for a cold day. Next time I will try one of their Special Holiday Drinks (with alcohol)

    Great service and really good food. For a white table cloth restaurant, the prices were reasonable as well. We will be back.

    This review is for their Sunday brunch which is the only meal I've had at this establishment. This…read morewas the best brunch I've had. My favorites were the loaded bagels, the ready to order omelettes, and the perfectly poured mimosas. Other offerings included shrimp and grits, salmon, meatloaf, biscuits with white or chocolate gravy, and waffles. There was something for everyone in our party (ages 7-70). I can't wait to come here again!

    I had heard about Jansen's from a friend and now four months later I finally got there for lunch…read more The food was excellent. The service was great, but the atmosphere was not the best. It was extremely noisy and that is something I didn't expect. People were carrying on so loud and the music was fairly loud also. We couldn't even hear our waitress and we had to ask her several times to repeat what she said because we simply couldn't hear her. I couldn't even talk to my wife during lunch over the noise. When we walked in, a young lady, told us to sit at one of the round tables along the window. When we got there and sat down another waitress came along and told us that this table was reserved for large parties and we needed to move to a regular table, a smaller table. I didn't really mind moving, but we had just done what the lady told us to do. It really was more the second waitress's attitude, and the way she spoke to us that was irritating and completely unnecessary as no large groups ever came and sat at the larger tables. We have every intention of trying Jensen's again in the evening. Hopefully the noise level will be less severe with the evening crowd. The food is definitely worth the trip. It is excellent. At least what we had was and everything on the menu looks good. They have an unbelievably wide variety of desserts, and the pies that my wife and I had were excellent.
