    Salad bar and basic look of dining area
    Victoria M.

    Came in tonight to check out this place that is close to our hotel. The atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant was amazing. The staff was attentive and very pleasant. They have a salad bar that looked wonderful, but we had salad for lunch, so unfortunately I cannot review. It was definitely used by other customers and I only saw smiles. We ordered gardenia pizza that was thin crust DELISH! No soggy bottoms here and the sun dried tomatoes were a perfect edition to the pie. They have a full bar and many choice of wine as well. We did order the French onion soup and it was worth every penny. Our final guests had the lasagna- stated it was delicious, but they were underwhelmed on the garlic toast- said it lacked flavor:/ and their zucchini was bland with little seasoning. The prices were about what we are seeing in Fairbanks, so I would say they are a little high/reasonable, but the portions make up for that little more paid. We did see the Alfredo pasta and the lady told her group it was perfect. I would go back and maybe try the pasta or another lovely pizza again!

    Pepperoni pizza

    Halibut floratine delicious! Pepperoni pizza was great. Service was spot on. Lovely place!

    Veal Marsala and beef ravioli.

    Food- beef ravioli was on point! Very good red sauce and perfectly cooked ravioli. The veal Marsala was very bland and didn't look appetizing. Tasted more like veal in brown gravy. Decor was a bit all over the place and the atmosphere wasn't very cohesive. Service was friendly and adequate.

    12" meatball pizza.

    The service was quick, friendly and our server knew the menu items very well. The pizza was a hand-tossed style, a slight spicy sauce and meatballs. Overall, very good. We also got the one time trip to the salad bar, fresh, tasty and filling. They play classic cozy Italian music, which made the restaurant feel comfortable.

    Geraldo's

    Yesterday after sightseeing in Fairbanks Joanna and I ate dinner at Geraldo's. Joanna had deep fried halibut which was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Her dinner came with mashed potatoes, roasted zucchini and garlic bread. I had a seafood medley: clams, shrimp and halibut. Dinner included a trip to the salad bar. We loved our salads. Our server, Elle, was gracious and attentive. Also, the music was excellent: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Marvin Gaye and Tammy Tyrell; pleasant and relaxing background music, not blaring.

    Halibut Florentine. Good flavor! Comes with salad bar also!
    Andrew M.

    Food was very good! Overall good value. Our server was very good and attentive. Ambience was ok, but wouldn't keep me from coming back.

    I hope you like Garlic because that's all you'll taste

    The service and ambiance were fantastic; however, the pizza was the worst I've ever had. The restaurant was clean, decorated tastefully in an appropriate theme, and the server and hostess were fantastic. My son and I really wanted to like Geraldo's. We ordered a Margarita Pizza which had so much garlic that we couldn't taste any other ingredients. There wasn't any sauce on the pizza and there was an imperceptible amount of cheese. My son and I both commented to one another that we felt like we were eating bread heavily laced with garlic. We didn't finish the food, and they didn't ask how it was. We may try something other than pizza in the future, but we'll try other restaurants first.

    We got a reservation via email and we had hoped for 6pm, but the reply back said for 6:30pm. We…read moreended up getting there about 10 mins early and there were only 3 parties there so we were confused about the response. In any case, we had a great meal and the owners were so friendly. We had the churrasco steak and the halibut Cuban style. The steak sauce has a kick, while the halibut sauce was slightly creamy but also refreshing - olive and lime perhaps? I thought the halibut was overcooked at first but the bottom half was perfectly cooked, so it seem like just the seasoned top was cooked more so. They both came from vegetables and yellow rice that soaked up the sauces well. We also got the flan which is house-made. So good, even better than the entrees. It tasted so 'fresh', don't know how else to describe it. They also had the cheesecake that night and I wonder if that's housemade as well. Wife got the mango juice which is freshly squeezed it seems and I got a bottle of Alaskan white. I do like the arctic warrior draft better but this was decent too.

    My family and I decided to try this restaurant because of its high ratings and the fact that it's…read morethe only Cuban spot in Fairbanks. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We made a reservation for a larger group, yet the table wasn't ready when we arrived, and we ended up waiting much longer than expected. For a place that requires reservations, this was frustrating right from the start. The food was just okay--not terrible, but definitely not worth the price. Given our background and familiarity with Latin cuisine, we expected much more in terms of flavor and authenticity, especially considering the high cost of the dishes. The live music, which we were looking forward to, started about 30 minutes late. To make matters worse, when one of the band members didn't show up, the owner asked a member of our family--who happens to be a musician--to step in and play. Not only did this put us in an awkward position, but there was no acknowledgment or discount offered for his time, even though we had other plans to get to. Parking is also inconvenient, with only street parking or paid lot options available. The restaurant itself is very small, which does create a somewhat intimate atmosphere, but it also feels cramped for larger groups. While the owner comes across as friendly, it also felt like there was a strong focus on maximizing profit. There are multiple additional fees listed in very small print at the bottom of the menu--something that should be much more transparent or reconsidered altogether. Service overall was slow, and again, the pricing does not match the quality or experience provided. At this point, I wouldn't personally recommend this place unless there are significant improvements--better service, more consistent food quality, fairer pricing, clearer fee transparency, and better management of their live music arrangements.

When we arrived, we found out that you'd need a reservation to dine in the main dining hall, so we ended up going to the Saloon side where we had to find our own seats. We sat near the pool table, and the chairs were super unstable. The staff were fine but clearly seemed busy and understaffed. It took a long time for them to bring us water and take our order. I tried flagging the waitress 2-3 times when she was passing by and felt very ignored especially as I've made eye contact with her a few times. We ended up ordering the fried seafood combo and the seafood chowder, and it ended up taking at least 20min to come out (even the soup). The dishes were all very salty and definitely needed a lot of water to go with the food. Overall, definitely not a place to go before a flight since you might not be able to get in and out very quickly, and the food was really just alright for the price. Perhaps the main dining room experience would be better but I still wouldn't recommend it given the food quality and service.

I asked her which she preferred between 2 items and instead of giving me her opinion, she told me we're going with the 1st one because I said it 1st. She also seemed annoyed when she came to give me the hot sauce I asked for. The other server was cleaning the table next to me and asked me if I wanted the hot sauce before she put it away. I actually thought my server was going to grab it from that table to give to me, thought that'd be more efficient, but I guess she needed to walk away and do other things 1st before bringing me hot sauce. -C. F. S.: the gravy is good! One of the better ones I've had in quite a bit. The chicken fried steak was crunchy even though it was drenched in sauce. Delicious!

I didn't think I'd be able to finish the entire meal but I made it happen because it was that good. My friend ordered the Dunker sandwich and it was equally delicious. The au jus was perfectly flavored and the consistency was spot on. I actually ate her leftovers for dinner, and if the leftovers were delicious, you can only imagine how it was freshly served. Very happy we came in and highly recommend!
