Tonight I had some halibut that was processed from Fees year before last and I was so impressed with the quality and freshness it maintained I called Becky and told her so and asked her to pass along to her Auntour gratitude and greetings. These ladies are just the best. So yes you may pay a little more but what you get is damn near restaurant grade portions that are vacuumed sealed with thick bags, and you don't have to drive away to get everything processed. Next year Becky we will be back and when we lock our dates I'll call to give you a heads up. Thank you, Patrick Shima

Absolute worst meal we had in Alaska. We had the halibut fish & chips and their halibut…read moresandwich--both were mediocre at best. Halibut breading was flavorless and the filets were a tad thin (especially since halibut tends to be on thicker side). Sandwich bun was cold, untoasted and dry. Fries were hot and decent. The most lackluster meal we ate all week. To make things worse, neither employee (there was a male and a female working) was able to help with directions. We explained that we were at the Anchor Inn and were walking over, the female said, "Look for the ice cream shop and we're right there, you'll see us." No context, no landmarks or other objects to note, but needless to say we passed them -- not as easy to see as she made it seem. Then we called and spoke to a man, he said, "Just walk to the end of the turnabout and you'll see us right there." Huh?! Whittier may be small, but we're obviously not from around here and neither of those directions made any sense -- especially for someone who is not local and does not know the area. Needless to say we finally stumbled upon them, with zero help from either of their "directions". We had 30 min to eat and catch our train, which added to the frustration of this experience...to top things off the food was barely mid, lacking in flavor and just plain boring. To the team at Swift Water: Take more pride in your food preparation. There was only 1 other couple in the place, so it wasn't like you were rushed and cut corners because of being busy (which still would be an excuse). Do better.

One of the best restaurants in Alaska! To be fair we've…read moreonly eaten in Anchorage and Seward since we've been here. And this food was incredible. The place was small but it's not busy season yet so we were seated quickly and the food was served in a reasonable amount of time. I read another review that said the place smelled like smoke, and while it did smell a little like fry oil, I feel like the smell went away and the food and company far outweighed any odd smells. We had the mussels, crab legs, salmon dip, grilled halibut, stuffed mushrooms and Cesar salad. It was all great!

Vegan chili was a little too spicy for me Pizza was okay, but definitely low quality Summer berry salad with vinaigrette is what you must have! It was delicious!! The cherry pie was just meh, but supposedly homemade. Prices are very steep! The gift shop section did not appeal to me. The selection seemed dated and wasn't worth it. The one thing that I must write strongly of is the family that runs this place! They are a fantastic bunch of people, all very kind, and truly helpful. They close at 1700 however they stayed open just to accommodate us when we were stranded waiting for another van and it was cold and raining. They are truly good people, and for that I would 100% come back here and would recommend the steeper prices on the food. It's a family business.

Try to understand you can pick your heat or your seasoning garlic, lemon whatever your heart desire to build an evening celebration and food.

We sat both inside and outside, and of course you can't beat outside on a nice day. Service is attentive and patient. They try to put us and our kids far away from the other customers which I appreciate (as I'm sure the others do too). The vibe is a little nicer than casual, I think you could make this a cute date night or a quick stop on the way to Girdwood or the peninsula. They have a good selection of draft beers and their food is great. I had the Caesar both times, but also tried their salmon burger and lemon spaghetti, which I shared with the kids. My recommendation for kids is to skip the basket of fries and get tots instead. I don't care for the skin on fries as much, but the tots were perfect. They seem to have a lot of interesting, fresh specials like a halibut Reuben that I'm sure is tasty. It's a great little destination when you want to get out of the house in the summer but don't want to do the same old spots in Anchorage. Check them out, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Everything is setup well and is situated in a great location! Unfortunately, service was awful! We ordered quickly and paid our tab up front ($60 for two chicken sandwiches and a basket of fries - including voluntary 18% tip, but not full-service dining). They gave us a pager and we found seats. Over the next 30 minutes we saw everyone getting food but us. I finally asked the status (politely) and got a seemingly annoyed response. I was told our order was next in line. I waited another 10 minutes and saw 3 more people served (who ordered way after us). I returned to check again and got a deep sigh and rolling eyes (mind you, it's been over 40 minutes at this point). They checked with their cook and he hadn't even started it. We were headed to airport and needed to get going, so when I pressed for an ETA he grumbled it'd be 5 minutes at most. It took 11 more minutes, which put our total wait at 51 minutes from time of order. We were never offered a discount, refund, or even an apology - VERY disappointing!!! The food was okay - but not worth that wait or frustration. We definitely won't be returning.
