I visited Stalk for a friend's birthday. She called ahead for reservations and when they asked she…read moreconfirmed that it was her birthday. I will review the entire service, but want to point out early that when the dessert menu was offered I asked the waiter if she was getting a cupcake or anything with a candle. The waiter responded with, "Not if she doesn't buy a dessert..." I was surprised since the person taking the reservation specifically asked if we were celebrating an event. Stalk is presumably a nicer restaurant, but there was not a single element to the table indicating a celebration. Some places will use shiny table scatter or glitter, perhaps a sign to help the special guest enjoy the event. But at Stalk? Nothing. So disappointing... I will talk food in my next review...it was 'okay'...not amazing. A few standouts were the halibut, the scallops and the goat cheese appetizer.

"It's funny--I lived in Alaska for over 25 years and never once visited Club Paris, but now that I…read morevisit Alaska twice a year, it has become a must-stop spot for a meal. The ambiance and professionalism here are unmatched. They are always packed, but the bartender is incredibly thorough and attentive. While he stays focused when it's busy, the moment he gets a breather, he turns out to be the friendliest person in the room. As for the food, I've now tried everything on the menu at least once, and I have never had a meal that was anything short of fantastic. There isn't a single negative thing to say about Club Paris--other than how tough it can be to get a table sometimes. I absolutely love this place."

The room has a high-energy, lively vibe without ever feeling overwhelmingly loud, and you can tell why the chef earned a James Beard nomination. You definitely need a reservation; they have a few walk-in spots, but they go very fast, so you will want to get there right when doors open if you do not have one booked. The beverage menu is very well done, with great cocktails and thoughtful mocktails that felt just as crafted. For food, our starters set a high bar; the pork buns, pickles, and octopus were all flavorful and well prepared. The ramen itself was delicious and hits the spot in the Alaska weather, with deep, tasty broths and bold flavors throughout. The Dark Horse was especially good. We did not have room left for dessert, but the savory side of the menu more than delivered.

Wow Anchorage, what a great spot you have in Whisky and Ramen. My husband and I went on a Saturday…read more They state on their website they do seat equal parts walk ins and reservations so we gave it a go even though we didn't have reservations. We came a little after opening at 5:15 and were seated at a table immediately. Larger groups may have trouble without a reservation. Everything was phenomenal. My husband had a couple cocktails and I had a couple NA cocktails. I was really impressed with the NA cocktails -- they were complex in flavor and not overly sweet. Husband was also impressed with his drinks. For appetizers we got the pickles, pork buns and takoyaki. In my opinion the pork buns are the way to go. I also enjoyed the pickles and there were a good garnish with other dishes. For ramens we got the dark horse and Tokyo rich tsukemen. Wow wow wow, they were simply excellent. The broths had so much flavor. The tsukemen was a fun dish with having to assemble it yourself and dip food into the broth. Pork belly serving was very generous. Some of the best ramen I have ever had. If you are in anchorage you need to eat here!

Hey there friends! We had an amazing dinner at the Glacier Brew house. Before I start, I will say…read morethat it didn't start off on the right foot due to some issues with the people at the front reception. Besides this, everything else was great so I did not deduct any stars. Let me explain. We were a party of 4 and just arriving from NY, we were hungry. We walked in at about 4:30-4:45. We asked for a table for 4. We were told the wait will be over an hour. They asked if we would like to sit at the bar area, same food and probably would get service quicker. I said sure. We both want to look for a table and there were none, so I just told the staff that we will go to the bar area and wait while having a drink. We were given a buzzer. We came across a Maria bar table with a nice couple sitting there, and 2 open seats. I asked if we could sit there and they said of course. They then Deb moved over 2 seats arguing gave us 4 seats. I was do thankful for them being so nice that I picked up their bar tab. I noticed that the dining area has at least 5 open tables for 4 and 1 for 6+. I went up to the desk and told them this. I was told they were fit reservations and I couldn't have a table. Long story short, 45 min went guy and there were still open tables, I E's not happy and let them know. By this time though, our waiter Marco cans over to us and said he would take care of us, which he did. I told the front desk to forget our table and have them the buzzer back. ** My review starts*** Marco was a great waiter taking excellent care of us. We had a great time with Marco and our new friends next to us. I ordered the halibut stuffed with crab which was outstanding. My wife ordered the salmon which was delicious as well, I particularly enjoyed the crispy skin of the salmon, yum!!! Our friends ordered the fried calamari which he enjoyed and his wife had the salmon over a Ceaser salad. To finish it off, I had to get the lava cake for dessert.....hey, why not, I'm in vacation lol! Everything was great, the food delicious, Super Marco s the best!!! Great service and a great time. Just a shame it didn't start off on the right foot. Lesson: make a reservation!!!!!

Terrible. Service was sub par, wait was very long to order food, portions were small and the actual…read morefood was like nothing I'd seen, or want to again. The only saving grace was the shrimp appetizer, which was great. My salad with shrimp and tai dressing was from the Thai Kitchen bottle everyone has in their fridge--not doctored, just a sickly sweet sauce. Small for $20, too. Fries were lukewarm at best. I see why the cruise ships dump their people here. No one else who has a choice should frequent it.

The family that owns and operates this gem is Greek and they are not only amazing cooks, but they care about their community!! I have been there eating several times this winter and obviously homeless people would come to the door and be given water, hot soup, half a sandwich, etc. that just made me love this place more. Now to the food. First of all I had the meatball sub which was not only delicious but super filling. The meat was very well seasoned, and the fresh basil just made the marinara pop even more, add the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese and you've got something special. The homemade bread puts this thing into overdrive! Crispy on the outside, light, delicate but not falling apart and heavy enough to hold together all that deliciousness without being filling like you just ate a large pizza. Now to the ridiculous tomato basil soup. I love the clam chowder but the tomato basil is my favorite. Savory, full of flavor, smooth, creamy and not greasy. This in my opinion is the perfect pairing to the meatball sub. You're welcome! The customer service here is amazing too just like the owners and the food. You will always be greeted by a smiling face, and treated like family. You will not regret stopping here. I've eaten the Meatball sub, The Philly, the lasagna and The Gyro ( lamb and chicken) all have been 10 out of 10. The ambiance is like a neighborhood dinner with a small dining room. You will love it!

I started off with a cup of clam chowder especially when I am in a city that is by the ocean and know for seafood. It was a good cup of chowder (thinking it in a Boston accent). The bread was delicious. They had king salmon on the menu so I had to get it. It was fresh and had a great taste. My wife had the roasted chicken Dijon. She said the chicken was moist and had a good flavor. Our waiter was attentive and the place had a great view of the bay.

The ambience is great here and it's well kept/clean. I do although think that the little Order Here cards are a terrible choice and shouldn't be a part of the experience.

And really it takes up counter space as well. Just get rid of them please! I'd never use it. Also I'd like to add that if you come in, look for a place to sit wherever Felicia is working.

There was a mix-up with our order--my husband ordered the porterhouse and I ordered the Cajun ribeye, but we ended up with two porterhouses. I'm a serious steak person (we literally buy beef from local ranchers ), so I definitely have opinions when it comes to steak. Mine was also closer to medium-well than the medium-rare I ordered. That said, the porterhouse was still good, even if it wasn't what I originally wanted. The drinks were great, and the wine selection really impressed me. They had several wines I rarely see offered at steakhouses, which was a big plus. What really saved the experience was the service. Our server immediately owned the mistake, the cook came out personally to apologize, and another employee was incredibly kind and brought me Cajun seasoning on the side. They even offered us a complimentary dessert. I chose the cheesecake and unfortunately... probably the driest cheesecake I've ever had. Definitely not my favorite. Even with the order mix-up and overcooked steak, I'd come back. Mistakes happen, and I really appreciated how the staff handled everything. Good steak, great drinks, an impressive wine selection, and genuinely nice employees. Next time I'm getting that Cajun ribeye!

First time trying this place; will not come back! Had a 4:15pm reservation, got seated, and it took…read morewell over 15min for anyone to come around to take our drink order. In addition to that, took about an hour for our salads and appetizers to come out. The waiter was beyond slow, and kept telling us how awful his 1st week had been and how the restaurant had run out of most of the food menu and some drinks. We had to ask for water (twice) because he kept getting sidetracked (mind you, there were probably about 2 other groups on the restaurant side). The steaks were overcooked and didn't have much flavor. Honestly, the sides were probably the only decent part of the meal (almost another 50min after salads). By this time; patience was running thin all around. When asked where their bathrooms were located; the woman (presumably a manager of some sort) proceeds to tell us about having 3 restrooms in the restaurant and how one had a hole in the wall because someone punched a hole in it (because it was Father's Day)?! and she just did her best to cover it with a piece of paper because she's not a contractor, what the heck does my knowing any of that useless information have to do with where the bathroom was located? (Still wondering...) We were definitely not impressed with this place; we asked for our desserts "to go" and they still got our order wrong. Oh- and apparently everyone else was offered bread as they waited, yet my group was not. Definitely, do not recommended, unless you're not hungry and have 1/2 a day to waste. Save your time and money; go someplace else!
