We did not expect to find this gem in Spenard. The food is fresh and wonderful. There are many choices, and the flight of chowder is a great sampling of what is coming next! The staff is warm and knowledgeable about the menu items and it was served quickly. We would come back again! Five stars!

I enjoyed a nice impromptu dinner out with friends on Christmas Eve eve. The restaurant was not very busy on this Monday night and we were seated right away. The menu has limited vegetarian options. I inquired about any specials or dishes that could be made vegetarian and the waiter said all they had was on the menu. After taking our order he asked if there were any dietary restrictions, seemed odd to ask that after taking the order. Dinner was not rushed, when the food came out everything looked amazing and tasted great. Nice selection of wine, beer and full bar. I definitely recommend the seafood as the halibut, salmon, shrimp, and scallops were cooked perfectly.

Very good food and service in a beautiful lodge setting with a view of Denali if it’s out ( odds are small). The small plates are plenty for a light meal. My husband had the pork shank small plate with cabbage slaw. I had the raspberry balsamic salmon. Both were very good. We had the berry crisp for dessert. The blueberries in it were oddly chewy, which happens at times with frozen fruit. Service was great by Kat! We were celebrating a special occasion and were given an excellent table. What a great meal and memory
