Who knew that Anchorage was trendy? In a city that feels more like small town, this restaurant is by far my favorite place to go. It starts with the beverage...pick one of their signature beers or go ahead and try their homemade root beer. I usually don't drink but I sampled the Oatmeal Stout which was one of their award winning brews. Their root beer was also original with a unique flavor.. The Cheddar pot appetizer was also decent. It was the quality of something you'd eat at The Melting Pot.
But their selection of brews and appetizers is just the beginning of a great meal. I've had great seafood in some pretty cool places over the past year or so (seasoned Talapia in Crete and Sushi from Japan immediately come to mind) . The Glacier Brewhouse now ranks as one of those top places for me. I had their Alaskan Crab. I can't say I've been a fan of crab my entire life. Up until a few years ago, I was intimidated by the work it took to crack open the hard outer shell. In fact, I started off so pathetic that I actually had to have my girl show me how to crack them open a couple of years ago. But I've grown up since them. And this wasn't my first rodeo. I was ready to attack. The server brought the plate of over over 2 lbs of AK crab. It was like heaven at our table. They were perfectly steamed and there was tons of crabmeat to soak in delicious yet disgustingly good butter.
Bottom line, the food was great, the service was superb and it was a great night (which by the AK definition of night it might actually just be 5 pm in the afternoon!). I'll be back.
The Brewhouse establishment was really cool - Friendly staff, excellent food, but its pretty noisy in there when the place is reasonably full of people. I would think the owners might want to consider some noise or sound suppression to help this problem. At most times, you can hardly hold a conversation with people at your table.
The server was good however, kept interrupting our conversation at the table - They are not very considerate to your experience eating there. Kind of got the feeling they want to run you in and run you out.
But the food was awesome and the old brewery building was cool.
After landing in Anchorage with a grumbling stomach, we headed into town and ended up at the Glacier Brewhouse.
The decor is nice (upscale?) but it's a casual restaurant.
You could easily compare the whole restaurant styling to a BJ's Brewhouse.
I ordered the Ribs, and they would very tasty and messy!
But, a good rib should be messy... the more napkins the better!
I tried to eat at Glacier Brewhouse two or three times before I finally made it to a table. I abandoned my first attempts because the place was crowded with long waits and too noisy for me to deal with. Finally, I made a reservation one night and it proved the way to go.
We did not have to wait long for our table, our table was in a nice spot that wasn't loud, the food was good, the desert was fantastic and beautiful, the ambience was pleasing, and the service was good with a delightful food server attending to us. We had a very nice dinner, left happy, and will most certainly return, after making an advance reservation!
LOVE the calamari! my boyfriend and i shared a pizza, and it was ok. I'm anxious to try something else next time we go. The restaurant itself is nice, service was ok. Our waitress seemed to have a lot of tables and didn't spend that much with any of us. It is loud though, so be prepared.
After reading the reviews on yelp, I made it a point to go check out this place.
Usually when my expectations are this high, I get disappointed... However, in this case, it was the exact opposite. This place was GREAT! It's got a nice cabin/lodge feel to it, making it very "Alaskan" and original. The food was awesome and the service was superb.
One important tip: Save room for dessert and order the Bread Pudding. Simply perfect!
Glacier Brewhouse doesn't seem to be lacking reviews, but I figured I'd throw in my two cents.
This place was recommended to me by all kinds of people and publications, and since it was my first time in Anchorage (I'll be spending a lot more time there, soon!), I figured I'd give it a try. Briefly:
Great beer. Great food. Great service. I would absolutely go back, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Anchorage!
I had some kind of incredibly dreamy salmon and the stout (might not be the perfect pairing, according to some, but they're wrong). I wish I'd had room for dessert--they sounded great--but I just didn't.
I can never get enough of this place. Yes it gets crowded and waiting for a table for like 30 minutes sucks at times but it is definitely worth the wait. I love the Beer Cheese soup, although I think they changed the recipe but it is still my favorite!! I've only had bad service there a few times but for the most part the staff is always wonderful and nice.
I went there tonight and ordered steak and the red hot chicken wings. The wings were delicious! My steak was cooked to perfection and they're mashed potatoes are always wonderful!!
Loud! Great Beam Stout! (blurb from their website: "Our award winning oak aged oatmeal stout is specially aged in used oak barrels acquired straight from the Jim Beam distillery in Kentucky. The barrels impart flavors of vanilla, bourbon, coconut, chocolate, and more. Served nitrogenated for that extra smooth mouth feel. This Bordeaux of beers goes great with a wide assortment of meats, rich pasta dishes, and desserts. 5.4% alcohol by volume.")
Overall solid choice for food & beer in Anchorage, though other locations will have better quality & selection of beers.
Glacier's atmosphere is typical modern brewpup. Nothing fancy. Adequate seating, but still not enough to keep up with demand. Customers are white collar tourists and locals, unlike the riff-raff that you'll encounter at Humpy's.
Service was very good. Employees are trained well and prompt, courteous, professional.
Food was above average and priced above average.
Beers were rather mediocre, but looking at the whole package I didn't mind that this place only had 1-2 beers that liked from the range.
Before I get into the whole thing I want to mention, because so many people comment on having to wait for tables, they take reservations on the phone or online and if you decide to drop in without them you can usually find a place at the bar. But the tables in the bar area are seated by the hostess at lunch, but after 4:30p those tables are first come, first served. Lunch is the best time to go. Usually the same exact menu as dinner but upwards of $10 less per meal. Go figure. They also have blue plate specials.
Being a resident of the Anchorage area for 13 years now, We've have many opportunities to visit this place and we take full advantage of that. The last time we went was just about 2 weeks ago. I had checked online for new beers on tap and found that they had the Jim Beam Bock & the Imperial Blonde, along with their regular offerings.
We were seated immediately as we came before the usual lunch crowd, I think we arrived around 11:30. The place fills up fast after 12 and parking is virtually impossible if you wait that late. We lucked out and found a spot on 4th Ave, just behind the restaurant. Tim and I opted to start with a cup of their Alaska Seafood Chowder ($4.95 a cup. Fresh Alaskan seafood, roasted corn, shaved fennel, bell peppers, slowly simmered in a rich crab broth. Finished with cream and dry sherry.)
We both ordered the imperial blonde (High alcohol, slightly malty, creamy and smooth drinking. Served in a wine glass.) to go with it. Pretty good, as always.
Next we decided to split the WHISKEY BBQ PORK RIBS ($12.95 at lunch/$20.95 at dinner. Baby back pork ribs, rubbed with a Jamaican jerk spice. Slowly rotisserie roasted and brushed with our BrewHouse BBQ sauce.) We both ordered the Beam Bock to go with this dish ( Aged six months in Jim Beam barrels. Medium bodied, malty lager, with big flavors of vanilla, bourbon and chocolate.). The meal arrives and they have separated it into two dinner plates, which we didn't ask them to do, but we find it a nice touch. We tend to share meals allot when we go out and not many restaurants take the time to split a meal into two plates without charging for it. Everything was great, but the beer didn't quite go with the ribs. So we stopped eating them, had them boxed to go.
Instead, we ordered dessert to match the beer. Bingo! We had their WORLD FAMOUS BREAD PUDDING ($6.50. Classic apple and currant bread pudding, wood oven roasted. Topped with caramelized pecans and Yukon Jack sauce.) The pairing was much happier than with the ribs. Even our waiter commented on how he thought that the rib sauce might've been a little too spicey for the beam bock to hold up to. (he could've mentioned that before hand, but whatever). All's well that ends well. And this was another fine meal at the Brewhouse.
Oh and one comment on the $$$. It does seem a bit pricey if you don't live here, but this is actually a really good meal, good service, ambiance, etc. for the money, you get used to it.

First, the bar gets PACKED at night. Scouring for a table or chair can be a challenge, but usually something pops open w/in 10 minutes of careful observation.
They brew their own beer and I'm a big fan. For $4.50 a pint you can try them all, and for Anchorage, that's a decently priced pint.
The food is good and freshly prepared. The vegetables and herbs have good color and texture and this restaurant takes some classics and spins them, at least a little bit. I love the pizzas, there are about 6 options for 8' pies, perfect for one person. The halibut and salmon are both cooked properly, although portion sizes seemed a bit small consider it is summer and the runs of Salmon and Halibut are current.
If you are from Seattle, the atmosphere/Scene reminds me of the RAM Brewery in the U District, but the food here is better.
HEADLINE: This is a place I ALWAYS look forward to coming to after a long day in Anchorage ....
Ever since I've come here to Alaska about once a quarter for business, I thoroughly look forward to coming here for dinner .... whether it's the middle of midnight in January or the middle of the day in June ... it is Alaska, dudes .....
This past week we had the latter ... two buds of mine and I frequented this FABULOUS place ... the smokey smell of fireplace and wood fired ovens permeated the surroundings, the seventh game of the Stanley Cup was on .... Pens won .... YEAH!!!!! And the sun was out in force ....
We strolled in around 6:00 on a Friday night in the middle of cruise season ... no reservations ... 45 minute wait ... we just headed over to the bar area and snagged a table and three chairs ... presto ... two TV's within sight ... awesome.
We were oh so ready for great micro-brewed beer and great seafood!
We individually ordered up our pints ... I LOVE this little microbrew's Pale Ale ... a hearty, hoppy wonder that boasts a 6% alcohol level ... sublime ... the other lads ordered up the Wheat Hefeweizen and a Blonde ... all fantastic ... we each had three pints a piece by evening's end (if there is such a thing in June in AK...!)
Appetizers .... the lads ordered their calamari and I wanted a bowl of their seafood chowder ... FABULOUS ... I've been coming her for the last three to four years for this bowl of deliciousness alone !!!!!!!!!!!!! Alaskan seafood, corn, red bell peppers, immersed in crab broth, cream and sherry ... one of the best 'seafood' chowdahs I've EVER had, anywhere. Not a clam chowdah by any means, but absolutely superb in its own right.
The bowl is the best $7.00 you can spend ... anywhere. Half a loaf of sourdough and a couple of pints would be a fine dinner all by itself.
Our man came by for our entree orders and we all ordered the running Red Sockeye Salmon entree ... it's in season !!!! ... one grilled and two pan-fried.
Mine came out with a terrific lemon butter sauce .... and vegetables. Melt in your mouth salmon and al dente vegetables .... it doesn't get any better than this.
No dessert needed ... we left completely satisfied as we ALWAYS do from this place.
I'll be back every quarter ... because I just LOVE this place, the ambiance, the smoky environs, the bar, the beer and the terrific seafood ... oh yeah, and the chowdah.
I spent the night eating here with a group of four. I was impressed with the decor. I enjoyed the style a bit more than thier sister restaurant Orzo. My only issue was with the volume of the music being played. I know that this is a casual brewhouse, but come on, I would like my dinner companions to be able to hear me without screaming. We ordered the halibut, the thai pizza, the jambalaya and a sausage pizza. Everything was just delicious. When my husband ordered, he stated that the two of us would be sharing the fish and the thai pizza. When it was brought to the table, they actually split our meals onto seperate plates and presented it as if they were two individual meals. Very professional! Going that extra inch can make a world of difference in customer service. I tried of their beers that the water picked out for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would agree with an earlier review that the Glacier Brewhouse is comparable to BJ's Brewhouse, but I think that the Glacier Brewhouse would win that competiton based on it's customer service. Plus is seems a bit more upscale.
Excellent food and great service . Wait staff very friendly! The chowder was outstanding!. A must do when you come to Anchorage
Ended up going here for a quick lunch prior to going back to the airport. The restaurant just opened, so we were seated promptly, but it filled up quickly!
Had a couple of beers, and they were quite nice... However, it was disappointing that we wanted some Alaskan salmon, and the waiter had to come back and tell us that the chef said it wasn't fresh. Kind of surprising that the Alaskan salmon wasn't fresh at the start of the day. We ended up ordering the King Crab legs, and have to say that we were weren't impressed. The shells were soggy and they weren't as meaty..
If I ever have a super long layover, I'd go back for the beer, and hopefully have better luck with the food.
If you're looking for the BEST bread pudding and calamari in the WORLD, then look no further. If I could only eat one desert for the rest of my life then Glacier's bread pudding would be it. Every part of this dessert is perfect. The wood oven roasted texture along with the Yukon Jack sauce (tons of butter!), caramelized pecans, apples and currents transforms this into pure dessert bliss. In regards to the calamari, until you have tried it here, you have never truly tried great calamari. 99.9% of calamari around the world is just over breaded and fried extra chewy squid. Glacier serves large non-chewy strips, breaded perfectly, with a great dipping sauce. I honestly now refrain from ordering calamari at any other restaurant because they just can't compare.
The rest of the menu is all good and the seafood is top notch. You won't be disappointed here.
The best restaurant in Anchorage and maybe Alaska. The atmosphere you would expect of a big brewhouse. Great lodgy feel and awesome fireplace.
The food is the best part of the restaurant. After eating there the first time at the beginning of a week, our group had decided to go there about every day. You would have to stick with the seafood as everything is typical.
After a week in Seward was looking forward to my last evening in Alaska at what seemed to be a place that linked to the vibe of Anchorage. I left somewhat disappointed.
The beer and the ambiance were great. Befitting their name, the Brewhouse beers are great. It was a bit chilly outside so we enjoyed being near the fireplace. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. The food was disappointing. I started with their seafood chowder. Coming from Massachusetts, I was curious to taste their interpretation. It was VERY rich and everything in the soup was chopped into little bits. I prefer chowder where you can see the seafood and/or crustaceans. I had the salmon BLT for dinner. The foccocia it was served on was awful, slimy with grease. I ate it with a fork and knife. The salmon was nicely cooked and was extra tasty with the bacon. I went lighter with the dessert and had their tropical fruit parfait...nothing exciting (too much whipped cream on top).
Enjoyed the beer and my dining companions but would think twice about going there again.
Total tourist stop. Everyone eating was from cruise ships, etc. Nice menu but pricey. Service was ok. Ate here twice to see if it improved. The spinach strawberry salad is tasty!!
Another hour long wait in Anchorage (wtf)?! This is clearly not due to human overpopulation, but decent restaurant underpopulation in Anchorage.
As my co-worker and I head to the bar for a beer to wait, we spot a nice 2 person booth to snag and eat some grub. Score.
The waiter was spot-on - friendly and professional. I had a great view of the open kitchen and its Alderwood fired rotisserie. Pretty cool.
Deciding for once, not to have halibut, I went with the giant shrimp and smoked salmon caesar salad and baset of free bread. Twasn't dissapointed.
Also, had a couple pints of cask-conditioned IPA. Good god, it was good.
Other than the extremely unfriendly bartender(girl, about 25 reddish/brown hair) This girl never makes eye contact nor smiles.
Other than that experience, the waiter he had, and even the bus person were extremely friendly and smiled all the time. Not only that, they relayed to us, their favorite dishes and not so favorite ones on the menu.
The salmon was very good, the calamari much better than the traditional small heads and rings, and the bread pudding, is one of the best I've ever had.
It looses a star for the bartender, and one for not being something that I would rate as a five star place. Really people, a 5 star should rarely be given out to places short of a mind blowing food experience.
Decent meal, expensive prices, excellent beer.
As I was in Anchorage on business, I ate at the bar by myself. I typically like to do this my first night or two to chat with the bartender and figure out what's going on and where I need to see, eat, etc. The bartenders here weren't very helpful in that respect. This was on a Sunday at about 5:00 p.m. and there were 3 bartenders working -- they were definitely not overwhelmed.
I started with a cup of seafood chowder. Nice flavor, not as much seafood as I expected. For my entree I had the herb crusted halibut, although I had to order it twice because the bartender forgot to put in my order the first time around. It was good but under seasoned. It was served with garlic mashed potatoes (about 4 tablespoons worth), some fresh greens and a balsamic vinaigrette that was very good.
The amber lager was average but the IPA was very good. Floral and fresh.
Given that the seafood is fresh and local, the prices seem a bit steep. I could understand if the food was imported from the lower 48 but it's billed as "fresh Alaskan seafood" so $5 for a cup of chowder and $28 for a 3.5x5" piece of halibut seems a bit outrageous.
The majority of folks there seemed to be from out-of-town.
I settled up my bill and left without a single "thank you" after the bartender watched me stand up and leave. I might have skipped the generous tip given this. Hindsight is 20/20.
Super fancy for a brewery. Beautiful decor that is warm and rustic, with fireplaces and tons of seating. From a window outside, you can also see all of the big beer-making vats and whatnot (clearly I'm not a golfer...but the root beer was excellent).
Salads are excellent, but the two standouts for me were the Alaskan seafood chowder and the peanut butter pie. The creamy chowder had generous chunks of halibut, salmon and scallops and just reeked of sherry - divine. The pie sets a new standard for peanut butteriness - I'll never love a Reese's in quite the same way again....
But the wait in line was a bitch.

I haven't been here during the summer (we're locals), but I have to say, this restaurant has the best service I've ever experienced in a restaurant. We've only ever needed to walk-in, being there mostly in the winter, but if you make reservations ask if the fireplace is lit, and if so, request a seat by it. It's the best place for a romantic dinner.
Also, the beer is fantastic, and brewed on site. Definitely a must during the 12 Days of Barleywine Festival! If you're without children, farther back in the building is the bar area, with a huge glass window that looks out into the brewing room. They do tours in the earlier part of the day.
From what I remember, great beer. Delicious calamari! Great place to go with friends or on a date. I shall re-visit next time I'm in Anchorage.
The only problem with reviewing a brewery is that I don't drink brew. Besides that, the food, the service, the ambiance, the price, and nearly anything else involved, they're all great.
If there's a place in Anchorage that you should eat, it is here.
When you walk in, you inform the hostess (cupcake) how guests there are. They also inform you that the bar area is up for grabs if you don't want to wait the full 45 minutes to an hour. Even after waiting 30 minutes, we trekked on over to the bar area to see if there was an open seating...and we must be lucky because there was one. I handed my beeper back to the hostess (cupcake) and headed to my table. By the time I returned to the table, there was already a loaf of bread waiting at the table for me.
Lois apologized for taking a while to take our drink order, but we saw passed it and asked if I may take my order. She took down my order for a Shirley Temple drink, a chowder bowl (DELICIOUS), and the rotisserie lemon herb chicken.
The total plus tax came out to $34.00. I only ate half of my chicken dinner, so that means I enjoyed the half that I ate, and I'll hopefully enjoy the re-heated other half.
Eat here or be square! Does that make sense?
I was in Anchorage for a conference with my friend and we were starving when lunch time came. We asked around for a place to eat and this guy recommended this place for a good lunch.
There was no waiting for a table even though most of the tables were occupied. It seemed to be a nice environement, very open ceiling space, big fire place, friendly customer service.
My friend orderd a salmon sandwich and I had the burger. Both large portions that it was hard to finish but they were both excellent dishes.
Definitely, keep this place in my books for future visits.
Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, overpriced food, boring beer.
Brewhouse would be a lot cooler if it weren't such a tourist trap. Hapless locals who support them all winter are forced shoulder to shoulder in the summer with the rest of the bus-boat-train-fresh masses.
Comfortable for sure, but not worth waiting with the crowds.
This place was packed when I visited with 12 family members on a Wednesday evening in summer - we were seated at three separate tables, which was actually wonderful seeing as how we were getting sick of each other by that point in the trip.
The brews here were significantly better than many we found in Alaska - the raspberry wheat ale was particularly creative, and I found dark bliss in a porter or stout (can't remember which). We ate pizzas, which also surprised us with their creativity - meat-eaters enjoyed the Thai pizza and my vegetarian friend and I enjoyed a half-vegan Greek pizza. Excellent crust, good flavors.
I'd go back!
She had the Rigatoni with chicken. It was swimming in delicious creamy sauce. I had the Mediterranean pizza. It had a thin crisp crust that was not overdone. The waitstaff was attentive and courteous. Their beer selection is awesome. I was able to try new brews that are unavailable in Seward.
The portions were generous. I am really looking forward to eating some leftovers that we left in the car because the Sheraton doesnt have refrigerators. However my car got impounded because the front desk girl at the Sheraton told me to leave my car on the street overnight because their lot was full. By the way, they don't want to pay the impound fee and the catering manager they left in charge for the weekend gave us a smug smirk as she told us this.
Okay, everyone kept telling me that when I get to Anchorage, I have to try their seafood. So that's all I've been doing and to be honest...it's pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but very good.
I went here for lunch (per all the Yelper recommendations) and had the seared salmon. Overall, the salmon was very good. It wasn't super "high quality," but overall, with the sauce and asparagus and fancy rice, it was very tasty. Also, service was great.
If this place was in NYC, DC, LA, SF, etc., I would say the place was mediocre at best. But there aren't a whole lot of fancy restaurants here, so I would give this place 3.5 stars.
Our party had a variety of halibut, salmon, and steak. The food was delicious, but the Italian sodas were far more tart than they should've been.
We waited in the bar area, and I've never seen so many tables and chairs so closely cramped together. I'm pregnant, so I can't exactly suck my stomach in to get by. That was a trial. Maneuvering to our table was a bit less traumatic, but don't let someone in a booth or table to either side of you become animated as you pass. They'll punch you in the mouth or elsewhere! It's still a rather tight squeeze.
We made it to our table without mishap, albeit a couple of close calls, and were happy to find we were seated right by the beautiful fire. The service was good, even though the waitress asked me if I'd like to try some wine or beer. Ummm, no... the twins and I are fine, thanks.
The desserts, however, weren't the best I've had. The bread pudding was tasty, but not "to die for." I was just a bit disappointed that there wasn't more of a selection.
In summary, the food was delicious, the service good, but the atmosphere cramped and loud. Go if you are loaded with patience and a hefty space on your credit card.
We stumbled across the street from our lousy (bad, horrible, inadequate) hotel, and grabbed a meal. I had the prime rib one night, the crab another night, and ordered one of their pizzas to go.
Fantastic -- peppercorn, cooked just right. The crab was really fresh, and I wanted more. The pizzas are terrific, and over all, the atmosphere is great (but maybe too frontier-like). The service has always been top notch too.
One of the nights, we were waiting for the table. I would love to congratulate the couple that told us that they were leaving in one minute, and stayed for another 15 minutes. My food sat too long and got cold, but the manager was gracious enough to have another meal cooked up. That was the coolest thing I have ever seen at a restaurant.
The beer selection is good, and overall, just a great place to grab a meal. Regularly, we noticed this place is packed -- and most of them looked to be natives, impressive here in winter -- so it has to be good.
(I was told the natives stay away during the summer, but not a surprise. ;) ).
I hate going to the Brewhouse in the summers. Don't get me wrong, I love the tourists, but I get so sick of waiting in long lines for food downtown--and the Brewhouse is one of the most popular places to go.
The food is usually pretty good and the portions aren't anything to complain about. The mixed drinks are just mediocre, but why get a mixed drink at a brewery? I'm a huge fan of any of the summer wheats or ales that they make there. The desserts are worth checking out as well--especially the creme brulee.
We had our dinner for the rehearsal night of my wedding in a private room at the Brewhouse and they took care of us well. We did our meals family style and had 3 options per table. Everything was nice and piping hot and the service was impeccable. I will say that the private room we had was in the corner of the restaurant and felt a little stuffy. Regardless, it made for a memorable night and it is a favorite of mine everytime I go home.
If you happen to be in Anchorage, I highly recommend the Glacier Brewhouse for a nice meal. The food is delicious and the atmosphere lively.
There was an hour wait to be seated but I ended up snagging a seat at a long table at the bar which I ended up sharing with two other parties. It made for a more interesting meal because I had other people to talk to as well as more dishes to check out, at least visually. I'm not sure I have the guts to ask a perfect stranger for a bite of their food.
The restuarant is well known for their seafood dishes and beers. The menu changes weekly so there's always a variety. At the time of my visit, I had the calamari appetizer (the calamari was so tender I had to double check to see if it was really calamari we had ordered.) I also had a Greek Salad which was slightly wilted and the dressing could've used another pinch of salt.
My order of Alder Wood Grilled Salmon came with s large fillet of wild Alaska salmon marinated with cilantro and shallots served on top of a crispy rice cake. There was a smattering of corn kernals on top and a delicious lime hollandaise sauce that was creamy and tangy at the same time. I saw an Herb Crusted Halibut came coated in walnut pesto and breadcrumbs and with a bed of greens and a roasted tomatoe vinaegrette that looked good too. My dish was cooked to perfection and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal but the crowning glory to this was the Glacier Brewhouse's 'World Famous Bread Pudding.' It was made with apple and currant bread and wood oven roasted. It was topped with caramelized pecans and a sticky sweet Yukon Jack sauce. Yum yum. The bottom was slightly crispy and chewy and to die for. My mouth is watering just thinking about it...
This was probably my favorite meal in Alaska. Hopefully if I'm ever back in the area, I'll get a chance to go back and order that wonderful bread pudding again...
The food is pretty good, however it is always over priced and super crowded.
If you're in Anchorage - this is the place you have to go. Its been featured on the food network and has great salmon and halibut dishes, as well as, some great home made brews.
That said, the place is incredibly popular so if you're coming in I'd advise you to make reservations ahead of time as waits for the dining area can be 90 mins + on a friday or saturday night.
My sister had gone shopping and I was hungry. Funny how things work out that way. I just stumbled into this one....looked like a happening place. It was crowded and had to wait a while but that was understandable. It was really nice, with a fire place and a view of a big beer brewer in the back. I do agree with everyone - the beer was amazingly good. I am still learning the finer points of beer drinking but there was nothing to ascertain...it just was all good. The food was great also......but yeah, back to the beer. It was really good. The place was really crowded and I couldn't help but stare at the sun light.....too much. The local brew helped with that. Everything went well with the beer. Especially the desert. I would give them 5 but I had to wait and the sun made me irritated - truly one of the gawds blessings to wear sunglasses indoors.
;D
If you pass through Anchorage and have the time, make sure to stop here. Their beer is amazing, esp. their Hef and Stout. Their Hef rivals (if not better than) most German imports that you find in the liquor store (Think Ayinger, Paulaner, etc)
The food is also exceptional, good ceaser, great salmon, and f-ing unbelievable king crab. I haven't been able to eat crab anywhere else since I ate it here, it isn't the same as when the crab came off the boat earlier in the afternoon and is sitting on your plate for dinner.
