"This Christmas, if you head to Jansen in Mt. Airy, you can leave with a beef wellington, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, gruyere potato cakes, and a beefy jus to drench it all in. The $150 spread feeds two, and you can add a seafood medley, including oysters, shrimp, lobster, and crab, for another $120. Call 267-335-5041 to place your order or email jansentakeout@gmail.com." - candis mclean
"This historic yet laidback modern American spot works for anyone in Mt. Airy who wants to feel a little fancy on a holiday. Try their duck confit ravioli, sauteed halibut or roasted sirloin, oysters, truffled potato galette, and more for $125 per person." - candis mclean
"Jansen is one of those fine-dining spots that never leaves you wondering if the bill is worth it. This renovated 18th-century cottage has historic charm emanating from its intimate interior to the backyard garden. And the food—like the spicy mahi mahi jambalaya with a smoked paprika shellfish jus—is the best in Mt. Airy. Grab a few glasses of wine, an order of oysters, share the braised lamb shank, and be thankful you're in a neighborhood where the PPA rarely comes." - candis mclean
"If you’re in the Northwest, there’s no better romantic restaurant than Jansen in Mt. Airy. Situated on cobblestoned Germantown Avenue, chef David Jansen’s namesake occupies a historic 18th-century house with the original fireplace and a beautiful outdoor patio. Enjoy a fine-dining menu that includes a seasonally changing menu of oysters Rockefeller, elk osso bucco, and stuffed acorn squash. The wine list is impressive, too." - Eater Staff
