The food is mediocre and extremely overpriced. The staff at the front desk was not helpful and all together rude. Only positive was the river is pretty. The overnight experience was a bad ending to an otherwise lovely day exploring Denali.

Calling all wine-os, craft cocktail connoisseurs, foodies and farm-to-table fans! The Perch bar &…read morerestaurant has some treats for you! This beautiful house-turned-restaurant offers guests an intimate dining option that is perfect for a sexy date- GORGEOUS views and atmosphere. The service is casual with a super fun / friendly vibe but you feel quite fancy being up there because the food is so nice! The bartender, Jared, is ready to make you a drink that you'll enjoy and and the kitchen staff is ON IT! So many locally sourced meats, seafood options, home-grown vegetables and herbs- this place should really charge more than it does. We enjoyed a gorgeous salted beef appetizer platter (with whole heads of roasted garlic- say no more!) as well as two beautiful specials and two AMAZING DESSERTS. Drank too many cocktails and wines but it was hard not to when Jared was whippin' up magic behind the bar... This was one of the few fine dining / high quality food experiences we've found in the Denali area and we LOVED it!! And we ate like fat kings for just a little over $100- I'm talkin like 3+ drinks each, appetizers, entrees AND 2 huge desserts- all totally house-made and worth every penny. Can't wait for a warm day to go hang out on their deck! THANK-YOU PERCH KITCHEN AND SERVING STAFF!! You were all amazing and such a TREAT! :)

The bacon was cooked perfectly. The fries came with both mayo and jam. The salad was so fresh and crisp. Our server (and service) was excellent.

Our room was clean with a comfortable bed and a view of the river. There are a few places to eat just across the highway. A full service restaurant with decent food and a couple places with burgers and sandwiches. Temper your expectations and you'll be ok.

In short, I absolutely, positively, highly recommend Black Diamond Resort…read more I'm 70 years old, and my wife and I were looking for a "non-bus" adventure. We wanted to experience the true outdoor Alaska without the restrictions of paved roads and boring guided bus tour narratives. Well, if you're looking for the same, Black Diamond Resort may be for you. When booking our adventure, we had a choice of either a covered wagon ride, side-by-side atv, or quad. We chose the side-by-side since my wife didn't feel comfortable driving the quad by herself. We assume the covered wagon is for those who want more of a subtle experience. There were a total of five side-by-sides in our group with our guide, Jonathan, leading the caravan, and Michael, trailing our group. Without saying too much, because I don't want to ruin the surprises for you, Jonathan lead us through miles of back-wood Alaskan trails with brief stops once in a while. With each stop, Jonathan and Michael would offer history of the area and point out significant mountain peaks. We made a few unscheduled stops so Jonathan could point out moose and other wildlife. About half way through the over 2 hour adventure, we stopped at a cabin in the woods for our meal. We were warmly welcomed in by the kitchen staff, and our group took a seat together at a large picnic table; there was plenty of elbow room. Our meal was delicious and plentiful. I suggest coming to the table hungry. Did I say the meal was delicious? Well, it's worth saying twice. I don't want to say any more about our experience. I don't want to ruin the surprises that await your adventurous spirit. Just know this, I would give Black Diamond Resort 6 stars if I could. The entire staff was genuinely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Highly recommended...we did the side by side rental on day two of a twelve day trip and i seriously…read moredoubt we'll be able to top it. The guides were excellent, the food much better than expected and the tour itself was the best of all. It had just rained which made things extra fun! The only suggestion I would have and it minor, would be to clean the windshields of the machines prior to use. We could see through them, and got some fresh mud on then while touring, but it would've been nice to see clearly, at least for awhile, the beauty of the area where we were riding. I would 10/10 recommend...if we ever come back to the area this will be the first thing we sign up to do again!
