    What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing. Marjorie, our server, was so friendly and helpful. I had the rigatoni, and my husband had hake fish dish. Also enjoyed a couple of spirits – Japanese whiskey and local bourbon.

    Anneke Jans is a gem, especially on a cold, snowy evening. The valet service was much appreciated—it was seamless and made arriving in the frigid weather so much more comfortable. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service matched the setting. I ordered the special, a unique seafood dish, and it exceeded my expectations. It was hearty, hot, and absolutely delicious—exactly what I needed on such a chilly night. The flavors were well-balanced and thoughtful, showcasing the kitchen’s creativity. Overall, Anneke Jans delivered an exceptional experience. I’ll definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy yet elevated dining experience.

    Everything was perfect, the restaurant has such a homey old time feel. All the staff was super welcoming and it had been noted on the reservation it was my wifes birthday and they all greeted her with happy birthday and the birthday card on the table was a very nice unexpected touch. The food was beyond fabulous!!!! Loved the fire place smell, and the environment was perfect, alive and folks having conversation but we could very easily have a private conversation at our table. Post dinner walking the Strawberry Bank grounds all lit up for the holidays was an amazing fun bonus.
