We made a reservation with the front desk as soon as we checked in after a long day of being cold in the rain and waiting at the bus station in Talkeetna. We should've just gone straight to the lodge but we didn't know how hard it was going to rain. Smoked salmon chowder: 5/5 always a hit in Alaska Midnight sun kissed scallops: 4/5 a little bit overdone Salmon sushi cups: 4/5 thought these were going to be raw but they're fully cooked, not worth the price Grilled halibut: 5/5 had to get it for the local ingredient Crab ravioli: 100/5 wow the flavor of the sauce and crab were fantastic. We usually don't ever really like pasta dishes because it's too rich and stagnant in the flavor but we could not get enough of this. I would love to have this recipe Crème brûlée: 4/5 classic but nothing special After going on a disappointing cruise with Royal Caribbean my expectations of this place was extremely low knowing it was operated by a cruise company. But Alaska has impressed me! I wonder if the lodge can be booked separately from a gray line because the train is honestly a bit of a waste of time. Would love to come back via self driving.

Inside there are a myriad of pictures mostly of people you will not recognize because they tend to be local or traveling musicians that apparently provide amazing entertainment for the local folks. There is however, one famous picture and that is a John Denver and his dog catching a salmon. What about the food? I had a BLT which hit the spot and another in our group had a half pound burger which also hits the spot. I don't remember what the third person had but they enjoyed their meal and told me they would give it four stars. All in all it was a great visit we got her tummy is filled with some delicious food while soaking in local ambience. There was no live music while we were there, but I could imagine given all the pictures of musicians.
