We arrived close to 9 pm at the hotel nearby and needed dinner. Luckily this restaurant was open…read moreuntil 10 pm. We walked over and placed our orders quickly. I had checked their menu online while waiting to be checked in at the hotel. We ordered a chowder flight, a bowl of the Sea Harvest chowder, a side of bread, a house salad with added salmon, and stuffed mushrooms. Since these were already pre cooked or starters & salad, our food came out quickly. All were very good. My only complaint was the added salmon for the salad was only available in 6oz. It was huge. I wish they would offer half that size. That 6oz portion was also $1 more than the price of the house salad. I did not see that on the menu; it may have been in fine print.

While spending 24 hours in Anchorage, we wanted to finish our trip with one more round of fish &…read morechips, and this seemed like the perfect spot. With our reservation, we were seated pretty quickly, and I thought the restaurant had a cute nautical feel inside. I ordered a cider, and Colby ordered a glass of wine. For our appetizer, we shared the chowder sampler, which, being from Cape Cod, I had never seen before. The presentation was super cute, with each chowder served in its own tiny mug. All three were delicious and tasted freshly made. For my meal, I ordered the fish & chips, which were very good. I was a little disappointed that one piece of fish was missing batter on one side, but overall everything was still quite tasty. The bathrooms were clean, and I found the staff to be generally friendly, aside from a few comments that we chose to let slide. Overall, this was a really nice spot for local seafood, and there is plenty of free parking outside. We would definitely recommend it if you're looking for fresh seafood while visiting Anchorage.

Do not recommend during tourist season. Felt rushed, and the food was meh for the price.read more

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!!!!!

We ordered iced tea and it was good which some places serve water it's okay so i would have been happy only drinking water which I normally have a hard time doing. 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.

Ordered the halibut cheeks this week and could not have been more disappointed. Friend the same but with scallops. Why would you pan fry them in Asiago cheese? It makes no sense, over powered the delicate halibut cheeks and scallops let alone way overcooked them. Severely disappointed. Waiter and atmosphere and was great, not his fault. That being said, everything else here I have ever had is delicious. I would return here for sure but just don't order newish seafood cheese combo dishes.

I'm not a huge pancake person, but my husband and I really wanted to find sourdough pancakes while in Alaska. They did not disappoint. They're thin and flavorful.

I was really disappointed by my experience here. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were…read moretreated differently because we weren't regular customers. Staff repeatedly acknowledged and served people they clearly knew while we were left waiting and largely ignored. The service was slow, and we had to work much harder than we should have just to get someone's attention. It wasn't busy enough to explain the lack of service, and we never felt welcomed or valued as paying customers. Everyone deserves the same level of courtesy and attention, whether it's their first visit or their hundredth. Unfortunately, this experience made us feel like outsiders, and it left a very negative impression. We won't be returning, and I hope the restaurant takes customer service more seriously so future guests have a better experience.

For the girls and I, this is our comfort spot! Semi and Maria always go above and beyond! They're incredibly friendly, attentive, and make you feel so welcomed every time you walk in.

I will always spend the extra $5 for the mozzarella cheese on the spicy rice cake. 1000/10 every time. It's 100% worth it. If you're looking for a place with great food and even better service, this is it. Highly recommend!

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. It takes away from the interaction and experience with the server and doesn't check to verify your age if you add a beverage. I could see that being an issue. 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. She's friendly and goes above and beyond the call of duty!!!

It's a very enjoyable experience but also has some simpler items for those uncomfortable with an all around fusion experience. Ex.

The spider roll was old tasting and had soy sauce all over it which we never had soy sauce put over our rolls from there before...

Enough to keep seeking new ones out but even then that wouldn't last too terribly long and especially if I lived there. Midnight Sun Brewing is one of the Alaskan ones I tried a while back and I felt that the beer I had was very solid and enjoyable. In fact Alaska in general thus far I have enjoyed the breweries there considerably. The beer I had from this brewery was the Panty Peeler which is a Belgian Tripel. A good beer for sure and is a good pairing with fish and chips or a burger. Flavor highlights with this beer are sweet, strong and fruity but all in a well balanced way. The beer goes down smooth and is light bodied. A good beer to start for me with this brewery. I'd loved to try more of their beer options. Love the brewery's swag and have a t-shirt or two and would love to score a hoodie that I had my eye on but it was out of stock so I'll try back later.
