Crush Bistro - Scallop pad Thai, pork chop - New American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

VOTED best meal on my vacation! I had a lot of bookmarks for this trip, but someone with us has a lot of food restrictions that negated 99% of my choices. "YEE- HAW" was my reaction when she said she could find something to eat here. 1 person in our party had a flight out at 7pm, so we made 5:30 reservations on a Friday. This place is on caliber with any San Francisco restaurant - it has a unique (and local) menu items combined with great service. I ordered and loved a specialty cocktail with local AK gin and cinnamon, I don't recall ever seeing cinnamon in a cocktail before We started with some of the most delicious brussels sprouts I have ever had, with Panko bread crumbs, herbs, cheese and a poached egg!!! Hubs and I spit the polenta appetizer and the double cut pork chops. Pork chops was perfect juicy and smoky, tender and savory - also a Huge cut of meat. The polenta was also perfection, tangly with goat cheese, etc,! - crispy and tender. We spilt (okay I ate 75% of it) the s'mores dessert, which is a chocolate mouse covered in salted homemade graham cracker crumbs and a torched marshmallow topping. It was the SALTED crumbs in the middle that elevated this dessert to new heights. Our friends had the salmon and the halibut and they loved theirs. Our server was great - I forget his name, but he moved to Alaska for love over 20 years ago and is still here. Price was very reasonable for food and service. If you are a foodie - you must come here! read more

We had dinner at Crush Bistro and the food was fantastic, the service was great and the ambiance was nice. It was the most enjoyable dinner that we had in Anchorage and would definitely return. read more

I can't recall many meals better than the one we had tonight @crushbistro_bottleshops. Let's start with Cassidy being one of the best servers around. For appetizers we had fresh and baked oysters along with prosciutto wrapped dates with feta. The entrees were to die for. The halibut and salmon were unbelievable. What stole the show was the burrata stuffed wild boar meatball. Holy cow. A huge thanks to our Airbnb host for the recommendation. If you're ever in Anchorage, make this a stop. read more

Had a really nice meal here! We split the red wine tasting and it was a perfect way to try a few of their featured wines. We started with the goat cheese salad - this was amazing! I got the gnocchi with peas & pesto. It was pretty good bit not my favorite. My husband got the rigatoni and it was SO GOOD. Overall a good experience, service was a little slow - but I'd still reccomend. read more

Wonderful evening! We had the best halibut ever. The flavors blended perfectly. Also, my salmon rillette was amazing. Presentation was beautiful and the service was impeccable. Our very experienced server had glasses and ponytail. read more

Crush Bistro - scallop pad thai - New American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Great variety, flexibility and service. The chance to try a flight of 3 different wines within a theme was a great option. The two of us were well fed with sharing just 4 small plates. Great tasting - both food and wines. read more

I loved this little place we stumbled upon on our trip. It's a wine bar but they have cocktails too. They are Covid aware and have mainly outdoor seating but you can still sit inside, just scattered, and the servers all wear masks. The reason I gave 4 stars was because some things I really loved, and somethings weren't that great so it's hit or miss. The hits: wine, Brussel sprouts (loved that they added a poached egg!), elote, and the mushroom gnocchi. The misses - Modern Love cocktail, butter chicken (no flavor) I would definitely be back though. It's a fun atmosphere and I like their wine selection. read more

Crush wine features a good selection of wines. They also have wine flights. We came without a reservation and they worked to fit us in. The menu has a good assortment of fish, beef, chicken and lamb entrees. We shared the brussels as a starter. It was a big hit. Their special was a sockeye salmon. I had the swarmy. If you like mediterranean, it's a good choice.. They also offer gluten free meals. read more

One of the few excellent restaurants in Anchorage. The halibut was cooked perfectly and tasted great. They were doing interesting and good things with flavors and the cocktails were excellent. Highly recommend read more

Crush Bistro - Halibut - New American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Food was outstanding - would have loved to have tried more things on the menu. We tried the polenta with mushrooms a sherry cream sauce, spinach and sun dried tomatoes and a shaved fennel green apple pecan mixed salad followed by a fantastic red salmon with incredible smoked purple potatoes and superbly seasoned shiitakes and bok choy all on some mild aioli. Cole had a really delicious (albeit a little gristly and fatty) steak au poivre with way too many fries. We finished with an amazing baked alaska with pistachio ice cream. Wine was great and the wine flights are a relative bargain ($16 for 3 half pours vs $11 for a glass) Service was friendly but clueless (as in the server struggling to answer can you tell me about this tasting flight? And the bartender had to look at the soda fountain to work out what soft drinks he had available!) read more

best food in anchorage by far. every time i go im blown away by the staff is so friendly and helpful love the wine flights feels so upscale for anchorage read more

Crush quickly became our go-to spot for pandemic-era take & bake, as their menu was always approachable and the meals delicious, even at home! We were so excited to return to the restaurant while a friend was in town visiting, and it did not disappoint. We shared everything - mostly because we couldn't decide and wanted to try as much as possible. We began with the crab artichoke dip, a rose flight, plus a Pink 75 and a My Blue Heaven... all of these were excellent choices, and I'd make them again in a heartbeat. The crab artichoke dip was creamy, perfectly salted and not overwhelmingly cheesy - just the right amount, accompanied by the softest bread that simply melted in your mouth. Next up were the oysters, both specials, raw and baked - and they were excellent, Alaskan oysters, bit briny and large, and the bloody mary shaved ice was very fun. They were sadly overshadowed by the surprise hit of the evening, the special appetizer scallops that arrived beautifully seared and arranged in a tic-tac-toe style with scrumptious offerings to accompany them. There were homemade pickles, a gorgeous arrangement of eggplant, baby boy chow, seaweed chips, I could go on - check out the picture, because it was easily the best thing we ordered probably in Anchorage this go-round. We used the bread from the dip (no, of course we couldn't let them take the soft bread!) to mop up the sauces from the scallops, they were so delicious. For entrees, we shared the potato gnocchi, crispy polenta and toasted goat cheese salad. While not usually one to favor salads, I can say with gusto that I would order this again and again, with my only complaint being that I wish there were more goat cheese! The potato gnocchi came with a creamy marsala and fresh mushrooms, all of which were a perfect compliment to the slightly pan roasted gnocchi cooked to perfection, like little pillows of happy potato pasta (that's the translation for gnocchi, right???). It was a perfect meal, and we will surely be back again soon. Cheers! read more

Crush Bistro - Special scallops appetizer - New American Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Super duper good food here. Was not too fond of the Pork Belly Carnitas Appetizer as there was just too much going on for me and my friend's preferences but each individual part of the dish was still good when snacked on separately. Everything else was amazing and super spot on. I would highly suggest that you get the s'mores dessert if nothing else because it was hands down the absolute best dessert I have ever had at a nicer restaurant or any food place for that matter, hands down. I'm not even really a s'mores lover either but that thing was nothing short of perfection. I'm drooling thinking about it. The ambiance was pretty cute and trendy and definitely more laid back. I would say Crush is on the more casual side of the higher end restaurants we have around here. Definitely check it out if you have a chance. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. One of my favorite in Anchorage. Not only does is supply amazing and unique wines, with continually fluctuating and changing wine lists that go fairly deep, but they also have a phenomenal list of uniquely crafted cocktails, and amazing food to boot. Whether it's for a drink an apps kind of night or a special occasion dinner this is the spot. Additionally, the staff could not be more welcoming and personal. After my second visit the server remembered my boyfriend and I and it felt very personal and special and he has always been so wonderful. Thanks for everything, see you next time! read more

Fantastic service, great wine, innovative food, and still manages to have a neighborhood bistro feel. We had the oysters (baked and raw), the king mushroom app, and among the table had the wild boar burrata stuffed meatball with pasta, the pork chop special, and a goat cheese salad. Perfect dinner for a family celebration! read more

I usually come here for just wine and the mother board. But I got to have actual dinner here a few weeks ago! Their halibut is the best I've ever had. All the flavors worked so well together. Every bite was so satisfying. I noticed they didn't have the mother board on the menu anymore. Not sure if it's a permanent or temporary thing. Hopefully temporary! read more

I had a lovely dinner at Crush. In Anchorage for work and while I enjoy sampling at the craft brew places, Crush was a nice alternative when you're in the mood for wine and a nice meal. Downtown near everything, quieter than the brewpubs, but great ambience and service. I'll be going back to Crush the next time I'm in town. read more

Fabulous place with great food and atmosphere. We were actually walking by this restaurant and the our eye caught a glimpse of the food and the smell and we instantly had to try it. It did not disappoint, so far this steak was the best I've tasted in Alaska so far. The sauces and all the extra features provided the best addition to steak I've ever tasted. Atmosphere so perfect, nice and quite, great for date or double dates with friends. The staff was very nice and provides exceptional service. I would highly recommend Crush! read more

This was a great find in our six days staying in Anchorage. The restaurant was clean and modern, the staff was very friendly and attentive and the food that we had was spectacular. I ordered the pork chop, which was probably the best pork chops I've ever had. My work partner ordered the wild boar meatball, which was also amazing. This is a must visit restaurant if you're going to be here for a little time. read more

Favorite restaurant in anchorage! The lamb AMAZING! The burgers great! The ambiance peaceful and classy. The wine selection is amazing with many flights to choose from. The service is great as well, it's a small restaurant and making it feel more intimate. read more

This place is AMAZING! I saw it in passing a few days earlier in my trip and I wished it was open. I found it open my last night in Anchorage, it did not disappoint! Staff were AWESOME & the food was SO DELICIOUS! I couldn't have a better experience or recommendation! Just GO THERE! read more

Food is ok. The small plates are actually great. The couple dishes I had were very average. The staff is ok. Overall I would very average. read more

Very very very delicious food! I recommend having a reservation on a Saturday evening. Upon arrival the place was loud and busy but seating was fairly quick. My waitress was attentive to get my drinks and food started. The food was not only appealing to look at but tasted very very very good. The Halibut, brussel sprouts, red wine flight and Old Fashion are a must try! Special shout outs to Chef Rob Lewis in the kitchen making the dishes magical and Waitress Lynne T. for delivering with care and making my special day memorable! Lynne T. was working hard that night and was prepared neck fan and all lol. Have a great birthday Lynne T. I hope yours is even better! read more

I love Crush!! Great food, drinks and staff! The appetizers were great and the scallops were excellent.

We dined here for my birthday last year and it was truly the best. I love their wine menu and the fact that they'll explain the complexities of wine to you. Every single dish is fantastic, though. I can't pick a favorite. read more

This was our favorite meal in Anchorage by a landslide! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We didn't have a reservation so we had to wait a bit, but we enjoyed our time waiting in the Crush bottle shop next door where we bought some delicious wines and chose one to complement our dinner. They were able to seat us relatively quickly on a Thursday, but I would highly recommend reservations if dining here on a weekend. I can't remember all the details of what we ordered, but the appetizers was a duck pate with morel mushrooms which was delicious, and my entree was nothing short of orgasmic. I almost did my Meg Ryan imitation from When Harry met Sally, but there were some families present, so I restrained myself. The ambiance was just right for a wine bar in Anchorage... kind of casual but very classy. The only problem is that they aren't open on Sunday nights because we were craving a return visit, however we fortunately discovered the Pump House and had another fantastic meal there. read more

Loved this place. It was snowy out and just stumbled by. The server was absolutely amazing. He walked us through the menu and we ended up with some of the best shishito peppers I've ever had, a bubbling bowl of mac and cheese, a butter chicken, and one amazing burger with high end bacon and blue cheese. Oh, and the fries, heaven. read more

On our last night of our honeymoon in Alaska, for our last meal, my husband and I came to Crush on the recommendation from a local. I made a reservation for the two of us for a Friday night at 5:30 PM. They are limiting capacity and following all necessary health and safety precautions due to COVID-19. To start, my husband and I ordered their crab dip and mac & cheese to share. The crab dip was creamy and full of delicious crab. It was served with warm, fresh bread. The mac & cheese was gooey but had the perfect toasted top. We also decided to split a Caesar salad - it was well dressed and the dressing had the perfect tang to it. For our entrée, we share the seared halibut. The halibut was so fresh and flavorful. The roasted veggies paired with it perfectly as did the mashed potatoes. From start to finish, the entire meal was phenomenal and accompanied by friendly and attentive service. read more

This place has been the best spot I have tried in Anchorage so far. The bar is impressively stocked and the small plate menu is the right size. I'll be coming back for the polenta, dates, and mussels. A true gem of a spot. read more

Best overall meal I've enjoyed in awhile regardless of city. Super friendly staff, professional service, and a warm and inviting decor, this was a great find on a chilly November evening in downtown Anchorage. And the food...superb. I enjoyed the bone-in stuffed pork chop as did my business partner. We were both impressed. That said, the Vietnamese-inspired crepe appetizer featured octopus and perfectly rendered pork belly was a highlight of the evening for me. A well-stocked assortment of wine, craft cocktail, and local microbrews complements a creative and imaginative menu that they perfectly executed at every turn. If you're in Anchorage and looking for fresh ingredients turned into delicious meals by a talented crew, you should look to give Crush a try. read more
