Very nice place food very good service even better pretty location. Ambiance was very nice as well

Loved it! While in Denali, Alaska on vacation, we decided to have our 29th wedding anniversary dinner here at Canton Steakhouse. My first impression upon checking in at the hostess station and looking into the seating area, was that it might not be as good an experience as I'd hoped. I was wrong. They were jammed. We got seated at one of three 2-tops next to the open kitchen. Normally I enjoy being able to watch food being prepared but I thought it was going to be too loud and busy. Well, it was loud but tolerable and it was a very busy space but I really enjoyed watching the grill-man, the other prep folks as well as the 2 People doing the finishing touches, garnishes and delivering the food. Our server was Regan. What a pleasure she was. Really delightful, helpful and attentive. We ordered cocktails and an appetizer and slowly enjoyed both. Later, we ordered a single meal to share. We loved it! Here's what we had: Drinks: Cosmo cocktail Lavender Gin cocktail Blackberry Smash cocktail All the drinks were well crafted and very tasty. Appetizer: Halibut Bites Really nice appetizer. Salad: Wedge with Blue Cheese dressing The salad was large enough to share and we asked for some extra dressing. Really good. Side: Marscapone Potato Gratin These were really special. Love it. Main: Prime Beef Filet with Lobster Herb Butter Oh my word, super tender and flavorful. If we find ourselves back in the area, we'd eat here again! read more

I'll keep this short and simple.. Out of five stars the service at the bar and the waiter who served us was a four maybe even a 4.2 the food was a 1... I had the prime rib My wife got the fish the portion was Small I thought it was a joke and the taste was terrible. Overall not good. read more

Surprisingly, great food and service when I compare to other yelp reviews. Frankly, better food than Holland American Lido or normal restaurant, on par with Pinnacle. The person getting calamari appetizer was raving about it. French onion soup was better than cruise. Halibut was very nice. Baked alaska was missing on cruise but available here. Warm apple tart was also great. All servers friendly, attentive, and helpful. Note: While this is part of Holland America hotel, Princess and Holland share vouchers across each other. For larger groups, Opentable doesn't seem to like 6 people here, but just do a 4 and 2, then ask for consideration when you arrive, but you may need to wait a bit. read more

Had the halibut and it was a small portion and overcooked. Onion soup appetizer came out after the dinner and flavor not good. Bartender was very nice and provided very good service. read more

Very good food! Could be considered pricey, but in the tourist area it is reasonable enough. I had a voucher for my meal here and that consisted of soup or salad, an entree and dessert. I opted for the French Onion Soup, the rockfish special and the bananas foster creme brulee. The onion soup came out in a regular bowl, but with two large pieces of French bread, melted cheese and lots of onions with a little broth. It was flavorful and tasted very good. It was a good starter to the meal. The rockfish was made in a coconut cream curry sauce and was very good. The potatoes and vegetables also were good. Howeer, halfway through my rockfish, it was undercooked and I was concerned about getting sick. I called over my waiter and he agreed and took the plate back to be cooked properly. He even had them put more potatoes and vegetables on even though I didn't request or even ask. That's the mark of a good restaurant! Plus he stayed until I tasted the fish to make sure it was cooked well and could be finished. I finished it quickly and waited for my creme brulee to be prepared. I waited a while and eventually the waiter returned to my table and another and indicated that the staff ran out of butane and couldn't properly prepare the creme brulee. The waiter asked what else I might like and I asked for the warm apple tart with ice cream. Within minutes this delicious apple tart arrived and I quickly gobbled it up. It was very good and I really enjoyed the tart even thought I couldn't have the creme brulee. However, with less than three bites left my waiter came and said they found the butane and were preparing my creme brulee and that it would be out in a few minutes. It came and it was just amazing. Waiter and other staff were great, food was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. I sat in the bar, but got equally as good service as I would have had in the restaurant portion. read more

We received excellent service from Regan PLUS the cocktails were amazing. We tried the Chai Tea Martini, and a few other signature drinks (smash and the mule) For dinner we had the Rockfish curry dish - seriously flaky and delish fresh fish. My hubby had the Halibut and our son had the steak . Everything was delicious! We highly recommend it!. read more

Well you don't have a lot of options with no car on a Princess/Holland resort. The burgers at lunch were just OK. The hard cider and AK Amber beer were great. Bar staff happy as clams. read more

Had breakfast here and it was solid. Good service and food was delivered quickly. Fingerling potatoes were delicious and the strawberry jam was amazing! A little pricey if you don't have Denali dollars. read more

The food is good enough, but we had just eaten at the Karstens Public House (also on property) the night before. Karstens had better food and drink options, better prices, better atmosphere, and better service. So, there wasn't necessarily anything wrong with Canyon Steam House, it just was an expensive let down compared to the other restaurant option. Now, I will say the onion soup was fantastic and if you are craving a steak, perhaps it would be worth it as steak is the focal point of this menu. read more

The steaks are great. I had dinner there twice and both steaks were great. The staff are great!

Came in for our dinner on our last day here. 630p reservation. We had a nice table with a great view of the mountains. Our server came by immediately and she was pleasant and efficient. Ambiance is high end ski lodge. It was crowded. Cocktails were pedestrian. My wife's cosmo was weak. My Vesper was ok not great. Halibut bites were excellent but for presentation which could have been a bit more attractive. We got rockfish and braised short ribs for our mains. I did not think the short ribs were so good. My wife loved the rockfish. The service was very good. Even the bus staff was attentive and available. It seems a bit expensive but we had a meal voucher so all good. Food "b", Service "a", Ambiance "b", Value "c". Mark & Nancy. read more

Home style potato nice and soft good flavor. Biscuit was good so was the jam Bacon was a smoky applewood 3 pieces tasty Eggs were cooked just right read more

We got here half an hour before our reservation and went to get drinks at the bar. The bar was full but the bartender said we could buy drinks at the bar then go sit on the patio. So we go out to the patio and the manager, Frank, comes out and yells at us that the patio is closed. We explained the bartender had said we could sit there and he demanded to know which bartender. Then he went in and yelled at her in front of the packed bar. We were walking off the patio and he yelled at us repeatedly that the patio was closed and to take our drinks to the lobby. Rude and unprofessional. Totally ruined the evening for us. All he had to do was be polite and it would have been fine. I've seen other posts about this guy as well. We won't be back. read more

The food, drinks and all but one staff were top notch. One manager named Frank ruined the our experience to the best of his ability. We tried to do the simple thing of sitting outside in 57 degree weather, and we were granted permission "no problem" but then our server got locked out. We tried to stop good ol' Frank from closing the door but he refused to listen and locked himself out (hahahahaha), but still refused to admit that it would be right to leave the door open ("My customers are complaining it's too cold" (yeah right when all the screen doors are also open)). "His" staff was clearly not a fan of him. I tried to help him from getting fired by politely asking to speak with him on the deck outside, but he didn't let me get past one gently delivered sentence. The front desk manager was a great fake listener who I hope took the opportunity to train this Frank "manager" to help their future guests have the best experience they can. I'm not worried about myself, but many other folks who paid lots to be here deserve better than what Frank will allow. I hope the power of reviews will help that to happen read more

A delicious meal. I had the house salad, ribeye and Crème brûlée. Highly recommend for a special meal.

Tried this place while staying at the wilderness lodge and was glad we did! Had the Blackened Rockfish and my wife had salmon, both were very good. The Rockfish had a sauce that had just enough bite that didn't overwhelm the fish. Salmon cooked perfectly not dried out like the night before at King Salmons! I would recommend this restaurant if staying at the resorts read more

We had breakfast here. The service was great. The ambiance was cozy rustic with lovely sights. The fireplace was nice. The only issue was we were looking forward to the smoke salmon eggs Benedict but were disappointed because they ran out of hollandaise sauce. The omelets were a pleasant replacement. read more

We really loved the McKinley Chalet. Had an excellent dinner on the other resort restaurant the night before. We each ordered a glass of wine. Mine was about 3 ounces for $9. Then we each had soup. My crab bisque lacked crab. My husband's French onion soup was good. Next we received steak salad. It was not chopped but had large pieces of old romaine lettuce (with multiple rustic stains on it), with a few other vegetables. The steak was cooked well done when ordered medium. It was also cold and had a sweet barbeque sauce that was not supposed to be on it. We did not eat it. Called management. They took it off the bill and we left. Never received bread and the service was horrible. Not enough help for the captive crowd. read more

It's okay, super touristy and expensive. My husband had the rib eye and wedge salad which he loved the salad! Steak was just okay. Salmon was cooked well, but not really flavorful. We ended up sitting in the bar which had the better ambiance with the open windows and high tables. You are kind of trapped in this little tourist town for upscale dinner choices. read more

We arrived as tired and hungry travelers. We left thoroughly satisfied after an excellent meal. In fact most in our party of five agreed that this was the best meal we had on our sixteen day Alaskan vacation! My mother and I ordered the filet. It was tender and juicy, accompanied by creamy Yukon potatoes. I definitely enjoyed this meal, savoring every bite. My husband had a hamburger that included reindeer meat. He liked it a lot. My daughter got a cheese pizza. And my mother in law had fish wish she enjoyed. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the unseasonably warm Denali weather. It was a nice outdoor spot. If we are ever back in Denali, we will go to Canyon Steakhouse! read more

This place was pretty good. It is fairly upscale. The service is great, and they have a lot of options. It is ridiculously expensive, so only go there knowing that. The bar menu has a lot of great pizza options, so don't overlook that when ordering. Overall it was a good experience. read more

We came here for lunch we heard great things about breakfast. I guess we should've come for breakfast. We tried the potato skins stuffed with Dungeness crab I give it a three star and we tried the halibut morsels which is kind of like fish and chips without the chips I give that a one star and wish I had never eaten it. The waiter was nice but he must be new because he was not attentive. Overall not a good experience. read more

We spent two nights in/near Denali. The first evening we stopped by here for happy hour and decided to have some appetizers. The Bacon wrapped scallops were delicious, though i wish the bacon had been a bit more crispy. The Halibut morsels were OK, but a bit over-fried, unfortunately. So a bit dry. But we returned the next evening for dinner and were much more impressed. We each had a bowl of the French Onion soup, and it was very good, fully of onions with a rich, beefy flavor. Tommy had the blackened Rockfish and said it was very, very good. I had the braised beef shortribs and they were very good, nice and flavorful. We'd eat here again! read more

Came here after an excursion on ATV, opened until 10pm. We ordered the crab bisque, scallops, and crab, tomato, cucumber, and avocado, so delicious. For dessert we had the pecan bread pudding could have used more ice cream; still very delicious Juan our waiter was excellent. Enjoy our late night meal; not too heavy and very delicious. Atmosphere was enjoyable. Did not rush us out even though we finished after 10pm. Highly recommend! Plan on returning for breakfast. read more

We didn't have reservation but the wait was only 15-20 minutes. The sourdough roll was fresh and good! We ordered Buttermilk Calamari, Alaska Rockfish, Cioppino, Reisling to keep me calm and Pale Ale for my husband. It was all satisfying that we didn't have room for dessert. Our server was very attentive and quickly served our order. read more

We all had pizza. Great service, good pizza. Not much more to say, we had lunch and continued our day in Denali....

Food wasn't too bad. Service was ordinary. When I pointed to the server that he had forgotten part of my order, he didn't care. They know that people will come regardless, due to limited choice in this region. Left a bad taste in the mouth. read more

Very convenient if you are staying at the lodge. We only ate breakfast both mornings that we stayed as the prices for dinner were a little higher than we wanted to pay. As far as the breakfast goes, service was somewhat slow, but they are busy. I had the Denali scramble. The waitress brought me the wrong breakfast, but quickly changed it out. It was delicious. Especially the potatoes. The second day I got the red raspberry parfait and a scrambled egg. It was delicious. read more

Delicious meal at this restaurant. Me and my husband really enjoyed it. Matthew M.was great. read more

Delicious dinner in Denali On June 20, 2015 our party of three enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Nenana View Bar and Grill in the McKinley Chalet Resort, which is located near the eastern entrance to the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska. After a couple of starters that included a crab bisque and a green salad, one diner chose the wild Alaska salmon entrée (market price), which was excellent. The other two diners both had the Kodiak black rockfish (at $27.00), and were more than happy with their choice. Service was pleasant but a bit slow. While the prices were somewhat high ($125 plus tip), we were not complaining because overall, the quality of the dinner was so much better at Nenana View than our dining experience the previous night at the Denali Trading Company restaurant located in the same hotel complex. read more

its more like 3.5 starts we had pizza which had reindeer meat and was supposed to have lots of basil which was seriously lacking. we sat at the bar because i thought the service would be faster. our bartender forgot a few things we asked for and so i had to go with the other more competent bar tender to get this done. of all the places to eat in the area this one was the most appealing for convenience and price point read more

We were told the wait would be 20 minutes and after an hour we were seated at a table that was almost in the kitchen and could not talk due to the kitchen clatter. There was no decor, the carpet was stained and dirty and the fireplace did not work. The food was cold and did not have any flavor. The rolls were not fresh read more

Went the first night, and the Lobster Bisque and Salad were "out of this world"! The second night was the "worst" dining experience I've experienced in a long time. Ordered the Haibut Fish and Chips, substituting the chips for a house salad with Caesar dressing. This place ain't cheap, but more disappointing was when they brought the Fish, I thought I was at McDonalds getting fish nuggets. Thought WTF is going on here, then to top it off the Caesar dressing was mayonnaisse! NO OFFER TO COMP MY $16.00 KOBE BURGER I ORDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE $20.00 FISH NUGGETS! Did get a complimentary dessert, but far less than my burger......I would NOT recommend eating at this place to anyone!! read more

We had lunch here. My sister and I ordered the fish tacos. The fish tasted old and oily, we told the waitress when she asked how the food was. She came back from the kitchen and told us the chef said the fish looks fine! Did not comp us at all. read more

Awful. Rock fish was all breaded and fried (barely any fish) and you couldn't tell if it was fresh or not. Salmon was terrible- super fishy and way over cooked. Both came on top of "veggies" that tasted and felt like they were boiled for days. Mushy and tasteless. Potatoes were boiled in sugar. Avoid at all costs read more

Service was good. Prices are inflated. Quality of food was poor. We were promptly seated and the waitress' timing was good. Her attitude was okay. We both ordered the tenderloin. It was fair, but the potatoes were horrible. They were spicy with poor flavor. I would not recommend this place for dinner. read more

Long wait times started out our dining experience here. We were told 35-40 minutes but didn't get a table for almost an hour. Food menu was limited but listed some good possibilities. Prices are extremely high for the area but portions are large. Most of our table got the ribeye and they were enormous so it made the price seem more reasonable until they started eating. The meat was not seasoned well and had tons of chewy bits which causes a lot of waste. The meal as a whole was underwhelming and we will not return or recommend to others. The firecracker shrimp was delicious but overpriced as well. We also tried the spruce tip ice cream which I didn't care for but my sister in law loved. Very light flavor and sometimes you get a pine-gin tasting bite which seems overpowering to me. read more

Our family stayed at the McKinley Chalet and ate at the hotel's main restaurant in spite of the single 1-star Yelp review since it was convenient this evening. We were truly impressed. The food was interesting and delicious, and the service was impeccable and friendly without being fussy. The wild Alaskan salmon was fresh and wonderful. All the appetizers, entrees, and desserts were just great. The hotel was apparently purchased by Holland America Cruise Lines within the last year, and we understand they have made big investments in upgrading the facilities and service (the prior 1-star Yelp review is from 12 months ago, so it may have predated these improvements). While most of the guests seemed to be from Holland America cruises, we were not, and we would encourage others to check it out. read more
