Very good food, excellent wine, but a little over priced. Husband ordered a whiskey and got a sip...maybe like 1 finger, maybe. Service was excellent and ambience was outstanding.

Service was great; however, restaurant was absolutely freezing. Had to wear my jacket the entire time. Food was a complete miss. We had the scallops, ribeye, and cod. Lacking flavor in its entirety. Salt and pepper were the only saving grace. flavorless broccolini and fingerling potatoes as your only side options left a lot to be desired. I second guessed going to Fletcher's instead and should have stuck with that option, as their menu and dishes are flavorful and never disappoint. For the price point, the overall experience just wasn't worth it. Have had much better meals at nearby restaurants lately. Second experience like this, won't be returning to Crow's Nest in the future.

My husband and I went here for our 5 year anniversary and ordered A LOT! We got the bone marrow, the lobster roll, a couple side salads and the steak and cod entrees, at the end of the night we got the chocolate mousse cake and the cafe Diablo. Every single item we got served to us was fantastic, out of the park for taste and presentation. Jill was our server and she was great, very personable and accommodating. Overall 10/10 experience.

The Crow's Nest continues its long tradition of elegant, fine dining excellence. We had a celebratory dinner there recently and the food (quality, quantity and presentation) was top-notch. The service was attentive and gracious, the wine and cocktail selection was delightful and the restaurant and indeed the entire Hotel Captain Cook was beautifully decorated for the Holidays. "The Nest" continues to be at the top of the Anchorage restaurant scene.
