I absolutely loved the gluten-free coating on the halibut since I'm not a fan of tempura-style batter. The Tanner crab was amazing, and the fried pickles were also great, though the portion was huge (definitely too much for one person). Service was excellent both nights. The bartenders were really friendly, and the food came out quickly and smoothly. The interior is also super cute, kind of an old-school lounge vibe with lots of velvet. There's a neon sign that says "city where the fun shines," which adds to the fun atmosphere. Such a great dinner spot in Seward.

I was told that this place had a new chef so the food was now "great!" Since I'm in town working…read moreand wanted dinner, I stopped in. First, the place looks like1985 retired inside in a good way. The bar in lined in plush red fabric and the photos, decor and chairs all are retro to the max but what did the food taste like? So I ordered the smash burger and roasted mini Yukon gold potatoes with creme and bacon. The burger was kinda charred I guess but still good, the server never asked how I wanted it cooked so that was a HUGE minus, but it wasn't bad just not great, the flavor was good, the veggies were fresh, just not great! The potatoes were the star of the show! They were perfectly seasoned and the creme and bacon sauce was MONEY!! They literally melt in your mouth and were roasted perfectly without being mushy. The service was good, the vibe was super chill. The place is kinda pricey for what you get but that is everything in this little town. I will be back to try some other things eventually.

We had a hard time finding a restaurant in town with reviews higher than a 4 star experience. And…read moreone that had availability for dinner. We came across this gem in desperation. While the menu wasn't updated on Yelp, we all found items that were spectacular. They had a smoked salmon deviled egg that wasn't on the menu. Our party ordered the seafood stew with salmon as the protein. I had the rhubarb ricotta toast, my husband had the arugula salad with chicken and my son had the Cesar salad with chicken. Fabulous! They have a full bar and made great cocktails. The restaurant was small and cozy with cool taxidermic animals to see in the lobby. The waiter was on point, so friendly and happy- there was nothing we would change.

I had hiked 9 miles that day and the salad was one of the first things to come out, even starving I barely touched it. Go eat the fish, don't spend a dime on anything else. This menu needs some help they can't decide if they are the local pub or an upscale eatery. Prices show upscale but quality of food outside of the halibut and oysters scream pub food. No cohesion in the menu to a theme as well.

I tried the burger - great fries, and the burger was solid but perhaps a bit overcooked. My wife had the vegan dish - the cauliflower had good flavor but the dish might have been a bit better with some added protein - perhaps chickpeas? Ambiance was nice - seemed like locals and tourists alike came to the brewery which was fun.

GF options were limited, but the sandwich & service were fabulous!…read more I'm a GF gal with a number of complex allergies. I used to be a cook, so I empathize with kitchens when trying to meet customer needs and I have become my own nightmare. Their menu has some twists on common coastal brewhouse food, and I could only safely eat one item on the menu. Despite a crazy dinner rush, our server was courteous and helpful to get me a safe meal (gf Smoked Moke Sando with a salad) - so this is for them & the cooks: THANK YOU! My Sandwich was so flavorful/seasoned/savory/fatty that I wept at the table lol. My boyfriend had an IPA and a Dad's pizza (needs a little more salt) and was very content. Service was fast despite the busy hour. Thanks y'all!

I ordered the Jammin' Ham (house honey whipped chèvre spread, sweet & spicy jam, mixed greens, applewood smoked ham, warm ciabatta) and the Saltwood Smokehouse Schmear (salmon chive served with crackers). Both were soooo good. You also can't beat the view of Resurrection Bay, which makes it an even better place to hang out and eat. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

The place itself is small with only a few tables and some displays set up with local artisan handicrafts for purchase. Two of us ordered flights of wine and 2 ordered glasses of wine recommended to us by our server. I enjoyed the flight and was delighted to discover I could order a sparkling flight. We also ordered the charcuterie board and the warm burrata and olives. The food was really, really delicious and very fresh. My only issue was as they got busier and people were waiting for tables it felt as if they were rushing us. And I would totally understand that if we were sitting with empty glasses or empty plates just taking up the table, but we still had wine and food to enjoy. And we also ordered several items so I felt we should be "allowed" to stay for a bit. But overall I recommend this little local place and definitely suggest stopping in for some wine and snacks.

We started with the crab dip and it came out bubbling hot, like actually hot, with plenty of bread for dipping, which I feel like is rare and deserves recognition. Super solid appetizer choice. For mains, we ordered the Bacon Blue Burger and the Alpine Berry Burger. The Alpine Berry was supposed to have a spicy berry jam, and I'll be honest... there wasn't really any spice to it. BUT it was still really good, so no complaints there, just don't go in expecting heat. The space itself is great too, two levels, a bar upstairs, and a back patio that would be such a good spot in the summer. Overall, really good experience for a first visit and definitely somewhere I'd recommend checking out if you're in Seward.
