5 reviews for Apollo Restaurant
I really enjoyed the Apollo. I have to say they have some of the best tasting food in my opinion. The Greek spaghetti is one of my favorite dishes. As you walk in the restaurants entrance it could use a little bit more imagination, but don't let that discourage you for what the food and chefs have to offer. If you ask to meet the cook he will be more than happy to meet you. ( by the way his name is Kostas)
Seward is known for its fishing and if you do go fishing in the morning. You can bring your catch to the restaurant and cook it for you. The price is reasonable considering all the work they have to do to prep your fish.
I highly recommend it.
I ordered a gyros plate & got a gyros sandwich. Had a salad with it. Tasty, but not what I asked for. Asked for ice water with lemon; thewaiter forgot. Came back, "did you order iced tea?" No, but I'll take it. Including tip - about $12.00 for lunch.
Might go back, but only because I really love gyros and eat it whenever it's an option.
Spending time in Seward with folks from the bush provides an interesting perspective on food. When you live above the Arctic Circle and frozen pizza is your only choice, nearly anything else looks good. The pizza at the Apollo, they said was practically manna from heaven. I wouldn't go quite that far, but then I don't live above the Arctic Circle.
I found the food to be a mixed bag. The pizza was quite good, better than I expected. Dining there on another evening, I had one of their house specials with fresh halibut. The fish was disappointing. Halibut was wrapped in phyllo, stuffed with crab, and baked. The fish was overcooked and the concoction just did not come together. One of my dining partners had fish and chips, which she declared were great.
The service was decent and our waiter had a bubbly, chatty vibe. If I ever have a chance to live in northern Alaska, I will remember
Apollo's when yet another box of Red Baron comes out of the freezer.
Im unimpressed.
Maybe you hate your job.
Maybe you hate kids.
Maybe you are worn out from the frickin tourists who just mobbed you for lunch and so you went outside to burn one and cant muster the courage to pretend you love your job.
I DONT CARE.
I came here for lunch, totally expecting generic Greek/Italian food and decent service. The waitress was okay. Plain. Invisible. The food - which was surprisingly unique - Lots of choices, we had smoked-salmon pizza with a white sauce. But over all, the place left no impression on me. The waitress did nothing to win my patronage, anticipated none of my needs and pushed me to buy dessert, which only got my kids all whining at me.
Apollo, i suggest you invest in crayons and greek theme placemats for the kiddos. Even well behaved kids need to be occupied.

I will admit that I'm very hard to please where food is involved. I was in Alaska for a week and hadn't really had anything that tasted fresh or unique, until we walked into Apollo's. I can't remember the exact name of the salad I ordered, but it had an absolutely beautiful raspberry vinaigrette that was made from scratch! Honestly, who does that? More importantly, who does it well? The wonderful person who was cooking in the kitchen at Apollo, that's who! If they weren't a six hour flight away, I'd be there daily just for that vinaigrette!
Thank you Apollo for one of the best dishes I had during my two weeks in Alaska!!!
