Halibut chowder- Very good
Jocelyn L.

I will start by saying that the ambiance and decor were truly amazing, a very cozy space. Now on to the important thing, to me at least... THE FOOD! Almost everything we got was underwhelming. The halibut chowder was the only thing I really enjoyed and tasted great! I was very excited to try the halibut and fries based on other reviews but everything had no flavor, like they didn't even add a pinch of salt so I was highly disappointed to pay close to $40 for a meal that tasted like nothing. The fries were supposed to have salt, pepper, garlic and definitely didn't have either of the three. The fried pickles were OK, the duck drumsticks had a strong meat flavor & gave me the ick. I would not come back here for the food.. we didn't have a drink but it seems more like a cocktail lounge than a place you should go to for food. There was only 1 waitress & 1 person bringing out food so props to them because the place was packed, they did a great job!

Fun drinks, good food, and cool atmosphere. Would recommend as it's a great central location too.

Rockfish with orzo
Nicole R.

This is a snazzy retro cocktail lounge with okay food. I ordered the rockfish which comes with orzo and it wasn't bad but it needed more sauce to better balance the flavors and dryness. The ambience is neat and had lots of figurines and liquor bottles lining the walls. Our server was very personable. The place gets busy so definitely make a reservation.

Baby Bakers!
Cindy B.

Funky place for sure! They have Baby Bakers appetizers that could feed an army and is so delicious! Must have reservations but we got lucky and snagged a couple of bar seats.

The food was amazing!

Passed by here on our first day in Seward. The vibe looked funky as Hell on the outside, which I kinda digged. Immediately wanted to go in and try it out, but it was packed. Which I honestly didn't consider since it was toward the end of the season. It just goes to show how good this place was that it was still loaded during this time of the year. Would definitely recommend getting reservations if you want to eat here. We were able to reserve dinner for the next night, and it didn't disappoint. Whatever image that brings up in your mind when you hear Flamingo Lounge, that is the atmosphere you are walking into. We got the Bucket of Butt and the Sourdough Bread Board as well as a couple of drinks. The drinks were top notch, and the Bucket of Butt was some of the best halibut I've ever had in my entire life. If I had one complaint, it's only that there wasn't enough butt in that bucket. If we ever come back to Seward, this is definitely the first place I'll eat at.

Pink Pony Club Marg

Literally stumbled upon this place while exploring their downtown area. Would've eaten there then, but they were completely full so made reservations for the next night. So glad we did! Feels like you're stepping back in time, and I am here for that. Such a classic vibe, and the menu reflected that. Let me tell you - the Bucket of Butt is the way to go. These chunks of halibut were perfectly cooked and so freaking delicious. And their tartar sauce was just a bonus. Also enjoyed their soughdough bread board - good starter. Nice drink menu. Loved their Pink Pony Club Marg. It's definitely busy here, so it is a bit louder. Service was good. Make reservations. If you want to eat here, it's your best bet of getting a table. Overall, great dining experience. Highly recommend.

"Sinatra Would've Ordered the Halibut" If Frank, Dean, and Sammy ever took a detour north to Seward, Alaska, The Flamingo Lounge is where they'd hang their fedoras. The place oozes mid-century cool -- like someone took a page out of the Sands Hotel playbook and dropped it right on the waterfront, only swapped the desert for glaciers and halibut. Step through the doors and you're instantly back in the golden era of jazz and martinis. The lighting is soft, the music croons, and the cocktails are mixed like they mean it -- none of this "just a splash" business. The bartender could pass for Sinatra's understudy, pouring an Old Fashioned that would make even the Chairman of the Board raise a glass. The seafood? Baby, it swings. The halibut was so fresh I half-expected it to start humming "Fly Me to the Moon." The scallops came out golden and buttery, the crab legs practically winked at me, and every bite felt like a curtain call for Alaska's finest flavors. The crowd was a perfect mix of locals, travelers, and a few folks who looked like they might've stepped right out of a Rat Pack photo shoot -- all smiles, no pretension. You get the sense that if Dean Martin were alive, he'd be crooning by the bar with a martini in one hand and a shrimp cocktail in the other. Pro tip: Dress up a little -- not because you have to, but because it feels right. Order a martini, look out at the harbor, and pretend you've just finished a show at the Sands. The Flamingo Lounge isn't just a restaurant; it's a time machine with better seafood. As Sinatra might've said: it's the kind of joint where the world still spins on vinyl.

Porch swing spirit free bev

Ah yes, The Flamingo Lounge. This has been on my must visit for a few years and this summer was finally my opportunity to try it! I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and decor of the restaurant but I am disappointed to say that the menu wasn't as exciting as I had hoped. I ordered the Tanner crab and it was good but the mushrooms on the side were under seasoned and the stuffed dates were burned. Service could have been better as well. Perhaps next time will hit the mark.

Fried pickles and chowder

DELICIOUS!!! My husband and I walked in right at 5 without a reservation and they sat us right away(we got lucky) this place gets packed quick but it's worth it!! We shared the fried pickles, halibut chowder, king crab and donut!! All of it was so good!! It felt fresh with great flavor! The decor is fun with a moody feel! A great gem in Seward!

Their one and only dessert. Brownie al a mode.

It was nice atmosphere very very busy probably one of the coolest places in Seaward. Must try the crab legs and the halibut chowder! Pass on the hummus plate

I cant believe my first time having bone marrow was in Alaska. The drinks were fantastic, but the bone marrow dish was unlike anything I've ever had before. I pretty much ate this entire dish alone. My friend was really nervous to try the dish and after enough convincing, I got them to try it, they liked it! It truly is a culinary experience. It's not a heavy fattiness, it's fatty, but flavorful and weirdly light. I loved this so much.

BREAD!
Andrea G.

Service was incredible, Lily provided us with a lot of local recommendations. I ordered the ribeye, veggie medley, BREAD, halibut chowder soup, beef stew, oreo cocktail/ irish coffee, and more drinks... ALL DELICIOUS. Ambiance was clean, great date night spot, and friendly. Definitely coming back

The flamingo lounge in Seward Alaska has lost the class of the old THORNE showcase lounge. I've never been so insulted by a bartender.

We stopped by and put our name in for a table. They said the wait was 45 minutes. They never called us. Lame.

Breakfast was a…read morestandard fare of eggs, pig product, pancakes, cereal and a couple different fruit The only "downside" for me is it's 1.5 miles to downtown. They have a free city shuttle but you can wait for 15-20 minutes for it. If you have a car, which we didn't, thennita not big deal Would I stay here again - absolutely

DISABLED / MOBILITY ISSUE TRAVELERS BEWARE!…read more This hotel does not care about you! I am on a 100 day tour around Alaska and Canada and have travelled through the south eastern islands / marine highway and Haines Junction / Tok by this point with no issue. 5 nights booking. Stated in booking I had mobility issues. Did not check until I arrived then they downgraded me to a room on the second floor via elevator. Would they come get me in an emergency? Would not have chosen this hotel if I couldn't get the advertised room. The given room only had a single handrail in the bathroom a distance from the toilet or sink. The shower was not step-free but mostly step-free. There was no rubber mat. The breakfast was very difficult to use with a walker and there was no assistance. On 3 occasions non disabled guests parked or blocked the disabled spots, raised with front desk, did nothing. On two of those occasions the lots were also full and I had to walk with my walker a significant distance in the rain. They had company vehicles blocking spots preventing me entering and others leaving and when asked if they could move temporarily I was told no. On third occurrence of disabled use/blocking informed them if I see it again I will be contacting police. Supervisor told me he was unaware of these issues which means they must have never raised or discussed them among themselves. He got sarcastic with me and told me I should call the police right now. I said it's your hotel I'm doing you a courtesy by telling you and not calling the police but I will the next time I see it. I left the hotel at this point as I simply don't know if I can park there or trust they would rescue me. DO NOT STAY HERE Attached are some photos showing these issues

The servers were really nice and excellent at their jobs! But the best part was the food wow! The seafood chowder was amazing had big chunks of sockeye salmon. The gulf captains platter was very delicious soo fresh had broiled salmon which was juicy and very delicious, Halibut chunks that were fried like fish and chips were cooked crispy and the fish was still juicy. And fried prawns that were crispy and juicy inside bery tasty it came with 2 home made sauces a cocktail sauce that tastes like fresh horseradish was used in it and a standard tarter sauce. It came with two sides we tried baked potato loaded with cheese and bacon and rice with butter both were cooked fo perfection. The cornbread was ok compared to rest of food. Last but not least was this massive chocolate cake it was amazing wish it came with milk, but was so big we took home half! If I'm back in Seward i will definitely come back!

What a hidden gem!!! I cannot understand why this place isn't 5 stars! Everything was outstanding!…read moreThe food was the best we have had this trip in all of Anchorage, Girdwood, and Seward! We had the Alaskan king salmon and market price was reasonable! We also had the crab cakes and the gulf captains platter and they were so good! The ambiance is great and this place has so much mountain town character! Our server Ashley was attentive and friendly and she even gave great recommendations on some local hiking spots. It was pretty busy but the wait was hardly anything. Everything was literally perfect! Highly recommend this spot!!!
