I'll be separating my review between service and food. I'm noting this down to bring both my…read morecompliments and criticisms. The food was phenomenal. If food alone was what I'm rating, this place would be a 3 or 4. I, myself, ordered the French toast breakfast with poached eggs and bacon. The food was fitting and definitely delicious. Price is a little iffy for the amount given, but the quality of the food was amazing. My family liked their food as well. However, removing the food aspect from the equation, the service was a bit off putting. From a simple glance around the room, there was a CLEAR difference how our table was treated in contrast to other tables from the way we were spoken to, checked on, and assisted, and I am sad to say it was not in a good way. I hope that this is a one time thing where the woman who assisted us was having a bad day, but with her showing kindness to other tables, but appearing as if we were a drag to assist throughout the whole meal, it's quite a disheartening feeling. I may try out this place again (maybe not for breakfast) but at the time being, this place is not somewhere I'd recommend.

Sure there are more expensive fine dining establishments and view spots with fishing paraphernalia hanging from the rafters, but I love this cozy restaurant as much as the local regulars. Why? It's the food. The first meal was a halibut special, super fresh, perfectly cooked with a bright and creative sauce, and my return meal was a rare ivory king salmon--one of the best fish dishes I've had in decades. Both were paired expertly from their beer & wine offering, and be sure to have some local oysters, also very fresh!

My wife was craving "wild game" and this was one of the Google reviews (all fairness) stated this was available. The server was very professional and I would recommend him as a fine dining server. We modified Lollipop lamb chops to put over light pasta for an up charge. The pasta was tough, very bland and basically no flavor whatsoever. The lamb chops for one bite each were okay (2 chops). The food didn't melt in my mouth as expected. My spouse pasta was okay, but even not a chef could make the same meal at home.

This is not just a restaurant--it is a culinary experience that reflects passion, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for Alaska's incredible produce. The ambience is exceptional. The restaurant is housed in a beautifully restored old home that has been transformed into an architectural gem. Large French windows flood the dining room with natural light and frame breathtaking views of Mount Alyeska. Watching the lush green mountains as clouds gently drift across their peaks creates an atmosphere that is peaceful, intimate, and uniquely Alaskan. Even before the food arrives, the experience begins with the menu itself. It is beautifully designed, thoughtfully curated, and filled with clever, catchy dish names that immediately make you smile. It perfectly reflects the restaurant's creativity and personality, making you excited to order even before the first plate reaches the table. I ordered the blackened Alaska sablefish, one of Alaska's signature fish, and it was magnificent. The fish was incredibly buttery, perfectly cooked, and lightly finished with sea salt, allowing its natural flavors to shine. Every bite reminded me why sablefish is considered one of Alaska's finest seafood delicacies. My wife and son both had the meat burger, and it was outstanding. It was juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection--no ordinary burger. The quality of the beef really stood out and made it one of the best burgers we've had. The dessert was unforgettable. The olive oil chocolate cake with sea salt, layered with a luscious vanilla cream cheese filling, was simply to die for. Rich without being heavy, beautifully balanced, and one of the finest desserts we've had in a long time. What impressed me just as much as the food was the people. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Franz, the owner, who shared that he moved here from Michigan 25 years ago and has never looked back. His passion for Alaska, hospitality, and exceptional food is evident throughout the restaurant. That same passion is shared by the entire team. Every member of the staff genuinely cares about creating a memorable dining experience, and their warmth and enthusiasm make you feel incredibly welcome. It is also clear that the kitchen is led with experience and excellence. The current chef, having spent many years at the renowned Alyeska Resort, brings tremendous skill and refinement to every plate while celebrating local Alaskan ingredients. Fresh ingredients, flawless execution, spectacular views of Mount Alyeska, thoughtful architecture, a beautifully crafted menu brimming with personality, and heartfelt hospitality--Jack Sprat delivers on every level. This is easily one of the finest dining experiences we've had in Alaska, and a restaurant that deserves recognition far beyond Girdwood. We cannot wait to return.

We had a mixed experience at Jack Sprat…read more Service timing was rough. It took over an hour from ordering to get our main dishes. About 1.5 hours from when we were seated. We did get the dip bread appetizer about 15 minutes after ordering which helped. Then we waited another full hour after finishing it before our food arrived. The food was inconsistent. The chow fun noodles were undercooked. More like al dente pasta which does not work for a Chinese dish. The burgers came with fries that were cold and hard. They did fix that quickly and brought fresh fries which were much better. The wagyu burger was the biggest disappointment. The meat tasted very gamey. That is not what you expect from wagyu which should be rich and buttery. I ended up trying to cover the taste with toppings just to eat it. Not enjoyable. Our child did enjoy her grass fed beef burger and had no complaints. The atmosphere is great. Live music adds a nice touch. We also liked the shop next door and the outdoor wood fire. We like this place and wanted it to be a great experience. The food and timing just missed the mark this time. Hoping they improve because the setting is really nice.

Spectacular scenery is everywhere, so don't expect the view alone to justify the cost. Our dinner was one of the biggest disappointments of our entire trip. We were celebrating our friends' 30th wedding anniversary, making the evening especially meaningful. Our bill was over $1,700 for our group, and not one person at our table said they even liked their meal. Several dishes were barely edible. My scallop soup contained one scallop that was not fully cooked and a tiny piece of cracker. The gazpacho was overwhelmingly spicy. The beet salad was served over scattered drops of horseradish that weren't even applied consistently from one plate to another, making the dish feel careless and unbalanced. The main courses were average at best. Some people didn't even finish their filet mignon, which should be one of the easiest dishes for a restaurant of this caliber to get right. The desserts were just as disappointing. No one finished theirs, and no one had anything positive to say about them. The service was equally unacceptable. Before dinner even began, one of our friends quietly asked the waiter if he could please bring a candle with the anniversary dessert to help celebrate the couple's 30th wedding anniversary. It was the very first request made after we were seated, yet it was completely overlooked. The desserts arrived with no candle, no acknowledgment of the occasion, and no apology. It may seem like a small detail, but it reflected the lack of attentiveness we experienced throughout the evening. Our waiter repeatedly reached across guests instead of serving properly, refused to clear plates himself because he wanted the bus staff to do it, and the overall service felt slow, awkward, and very unprofessional. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, every part of the meal seemed to take far longer than it should have. What really confirmed that it wasn't just us was talking to the family seated next to us--a group of 14--who felt exactly the same way about both the food and the service. I consider myself a true foodie. I love trying new restaurants and cuisines, and I'm far from being a picky eater. I almost never write negative reviews, but this experience was simply unacceptable. I had heard this restaurant was a "must-do" while visiting the area, which made the experience even more disappointing. In my opinion, it's simply not worth the money. I wouldn't even recommend paying to ride the tram just to dine here, because you'll find breathtaking scenery all over Alaska without spending hundreds of dollars on a meal that falls far short of expectations. I sincerely hope this review helps other travelers avoid making the same very expensive mistake we did.

I was honestly really excited going in because I love an old-school diner moment... but this one was a bit of a miss for me. My food was fine, nothing terrible, just not something I'd go out of my way to come back for. The biggest letdown though was the biscuit and gravy. The gravy was very bland and had a strong uncooked flour taste, to the point where it just didn't feel worth continuing to eat after a couple bites, which was disappointing. Breakfast is usually my go-to at places like this, but if I ended up back here, I'd probably skip the breakfast menu and try something else instead. Overall, great service and a welcoming, local feel, just didn't quite hit for me food-wise this time.
