Review Jansen - Philadelphia

Will

My fiancé and I really liked our overall experience at Jansen. The atmosphere was great, the staff were fun and helpful and the food is creative. I’m giving it a 4 because we found the side dishes, drinks and desserts exceptional but our main dishes a little too over cooked or missing a wow factor. I wouldn’t be so picky but these are very expensive dishes, they were very good but didn’t blow us away like the first course or desserts did. I got the pork special with Lancaster peaches and my fiancé got the green circle chicken breast. The pork was very good and well cooked. I would have changed the grilled peaches to a peach chutney on-top instead as the regular grilled peach didn’t mesh as well with the overall dish. The fried chicken was very good but half of it was dry, veggies were on point. Dessert was incredible and I am urging everyone to get the cornycotta. One of the best desserts we’ve had at ANY restaurant.

This was the perfect venue for our small wedding ceremony. My Husband and I wanted a small wedding reception and Jansen delivered in every way. Our planner was Veronica, she was the best to work with. She gave suggestions, guided us through our planning and was so flexible whenever we needed her. Jansen's food is amazing, the pastry here is to die for and the drink are exceptional. Can't say enough about this venue. Our night was perfect and everything we wanted.

Julie was our server and she was excellent and so too was the wine pro. We invited 2 couples to join us for a dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was a great evening.

I promise the food is as good as it looks. Chef Jansen is a prince among men. He made us feel so special with his attention to detail and smooth jazz atmosphere. I highly recommend going here

The rabbit cassoulet and the duck cassoulet were both out of this world great! Excellent service and a cozy atmosphere. My only complaint was a peculiar persistent odor when you first walk in that seems like a plumbing problem. I would definitely go back again.

Jansen is truly a gem in the Northwest section of Philadelphia. Every time we bring friends, they're amazed the restaurant isn't in center City. The food is of the highest quality, and never disappoints. Cocktails are carefully crafted, and the wine list is thoughtfully curated to complement their food. If you're looking for unpretentious high quality food, you cannot go wrong with Jansen!

Jansen never disappoints. The service is amazing every time. Attentive. Accommodating. All about the customer experience. Creative craft cocktails that change seasonally. The menu is innovative but still sticks to classic flavors and dishes the chef puts his own touches on. We got the mahi jambalaya this time and it was excellent. My partner and I come frequently and we love the ambience outside, especially in warmer months when it's lush and peaceful. We are lucky to have a neighborhood spot that serves such high end quality food. The manager Zach is amazing and always so involved and present in the service each night.

Always an excellent time! Been here a half dozen or so times since they opened and it is, hands down, the best restaurant in Philly.

Jansen is the kind of place that you bring people to if you want to impress the heck out of them. Every single bite you take is truly delicious. The atmosphere is elegant but not stuffy. Zac and the staff are warm and friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough for a top notch fine dining experience! Notable Dishes: Braised Lamb Shank Veal Porterhouse Pork Bao Bun Appetizer Special Soup of the Day (get it, whatever it is)

We had a delightful meal. All the food was prepared perfectly. My only criticism, is the service slacked off a bit as they started to seat larger parties. I had to request another glass of wine and we rarely saw our original server. We will return because the food was excellent.

Stopped by just for drinks. Ended up also ordering shrimp cocktail, smoked fish plate and dessert. Everything was on point. Thanks so much

Andrew J Sabia

Best chef, best food and best staff in town!

Hillary O'Carroll

So incredibly delicious and so truly gorgeous ... both the food and the dining spaces. � This is where you should take her for her birthday. Or a first date. Or him for Father's Day or ... Oh just think up a reason. And if weather permits, eat outside. The chef who is also the owner is also an absolutely incredible gardener. ��

John Lamanna

Best restaurant in the area and one of the best in the city. A+++ experience as always.

Linda Phelps

We come each week. We wouldn’t want to miss the delicious food choices or the kind and friendly staff! We love Jansen for fine dining!

Elizabeth Price Pearson

Another great meal at Jansen. All of our dishes (party of 5) were delicious. Service was attentive without being over-done. Love having fine dining like this in our neighborhood. Can't wait to go back again soon.

Deb Derrickson Kossmann

Mmmm. So good I don't want to extol its virtues or we'll never be able to get a reservation. It was my second time there and it was another excellent meal with attentive service. 👍👍

Karen Tuman

We celebrated a special birthday for our son's girlfriend last night. From the moment we stepped inside the door it was outstanding. The way we were greeted, our servers were fun and very attentive, and our meal was one of the BEST we've had anywhere in Philadelphia or any other city. I was so excited to go, we've been trying to get there for some time. It did not disappoint and will definitely be a new favorite. Thanks to all for a lovely evening.
