I tried a cup of the evening's vegetable soup, which came with some of the fried bread (think strips of Indian fry bread) and the Karajordjeva Schnitzel (thin filet of pork stuffed with ham and mozzarella). The schnitzel was very tasty and not greasy at all. The wine list is short, but there should be something for everyone; the glass of Toscana I had was quite nice and a good pour. Food portions are huge, I took home half my entree because I just couldn't eat more than that. The desserts looked amazing, but I just didn't have room for any. Instead, I had a Turkish coffee that came with a piece of Turkish delight for just a bit of sweetness to end dinner. Service was so friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. You must email the restaurant at least a day in advance for a reservation; no walk-ins and they email back promptly to confirm availability. The food is such a nice change from the usual, I highly recommend. After all, how many salmon dinners or fish and chips can a person eat while in Alaska?

The Halibut was well worth the up charge versus the Cod, I am not saying the Cod is bad because I didn't try it, but the Halibut was excellent! The Mac N Chz flavor was incredible, but it could have been a bit warmer when delivered. We sat at the bar and our bartender Sarah provided the best service we have had at any restaurant while in our two week trip. She happened to to be from Tennessee like we are so that made for great conversation. I am not sure how old Karstens PH is, but the facility looks great. The wood beams look brand new and everything was very clean. Overall this was an excellent experience, we highly recommend.

Note that one plate of three large pancakes is enough to feed 2 adults (and we still couldn't finish them). The coffee was good, but could have been hotter.

Service was fine. Prices were typical for the area.

EXCELLENT FOOD: Terrible service:…read more I just want to start by saying the food was excellent. The kitchen absolutely did its job. The service, however, was terrible enough to have to make a review. Our server, Kat, acted like our table was an inconvenience from the moment we sat down. My sister was dining with her 1-year-old child, and when we asked for a high chair, Kat rolled her eyes, grabbed one, and dropped it off on the opposite side of the table from where the baby was actually sitting. No offer to help, no kindness, no basic courtesy. The attitude only got worse from there. Every time we needed something, we were met with eye rolls, annoyance, and the feeling that we were bothering her simply for asking her to do her job. We even noticed the same behavior toward other tables, so it clearly wasn't a one-time misunderstanding. When I ordered an iced latte, I asked what syrup options were available because there were no drink menus at our table. Instead of answering a completely reasonable question, Kat acted irritated that I dared to ask. Customers shouldn't be expected to magically know what you offer. I understand that everyone has bad days, but if you dislike interacting with guests this much, hospitality may not be the right industry for you. No customer should be made to feel unwelcome for asking for a high chair, ordering a drink, or requesting basic service. It's incredibly disappointing because the food was honestly amazing. But amazing food doesn't excuse rude service. There are too many restaurants serving great meals to spend my money somewhere I'm treated like an inconvenience. Good food gets people through the door once. Great hospitality is what keeps them coming back.

My first impression upon checking in at the hostess station and looking into the seating area, was that it might not be as good an experience as I'd hoped. I was wrong. They were jammed. We got seated at one of three 2-tops next to the open kitchen. Normally I enjoy being able to watch food being prepared but I thought it was going to be too loud and busy. Well, it was loud but tolerable and it was a very busy space but I really enjoyed watching the grill-man, the other prep folks as well as the 2 People doing the finishing touches, garnishes and delivering the food. Our server was Regan. What a pleasure she was. Really delightful, helpful and attentive. We ordered cocktails and an appetizer and slowly enjoyed both. Later, we ordered a single meal to share. We loved it! Here's what we had: Drinks: Cosmo cocktail Lavender Gin cocktail Blackberry Smash cocktail All the drinks were well crafted and very tasty. Appetizer: Halibut Bites Really nice appetizer. Salad: Wedge with Blue Cheese dressing The salad was large enough to share and we asked for some extra dressing. Really good. Side: Marscapone Potato Gratin These were really special. Love it. Main: Prime Beef Filet with Lobster Herb Butter Oh my word, super tender and flavorful. If we find ourselves back in the area, we'd eat here again!
