• The import beer was the best thing all evening.
• Barely enough space to walk in, host/hostess placed as so too intrusive to diners.

“After living in Alaksa for over 10 years and hearing such wonderful things about this place, I decided to make it the pinnacle of the evening for my first wedding anniversary. I still wonder, did I end up in a paralell universe? I feel like I got hosed after reading everyone else's reviews. Nothing about this experience was good. It started with waiting to be seen and then escorted to the bar to wait. Once there we order very over priced drinks, but the cheapest on the menu. My husbands tasted like nothing, but did come with a cherry. My drink was o.k. but for the price, a fresh strawberry would have been nice, vs. a frozen one that resembled a blot clot in my drink, making it most unappealing. Next, we had the cajun mushroom, that touts it's spicey...not sure where the spice was. There was more deep fried batter than anything. Finally, after 1 hour and being bumped into by other patrons, our table was ready. But even though we only needed to walk only 15ft, we had to clear out tab of 18.00 for 2 drinks and 11.00 for mushrooms. Needless to say our table was right by the entrance where anyone else coming for a meal would have to loiter and as close to the mens room as you could get. We were greeted reasonably fast by our waitress. We both knew we wanted the "world famous pepper steak" so our order was easy, the only difference was the salad dressing. Salads arrived, nothing there except lettuce and dressing which they got wrong on my husbands. Dressing amount too much for amount of salad. She said a few times she'd be back with fresh pepper, but we ended up using the shaker from the table. The bread was cold and hard, we didn't eat it. It suposedly had cheese and jalapenos, but we didn't see any. Steak finally arrived. From the first bite we were repulsed. The steak was decent once you got past the fat, but gravy was putrid. Our potato had twice the amount of sour cream needed. We both love sour cream, but OMG! The atmosphere is horrible. Seems like most emphasis is on the wine cellar. There is a beatiful fire place that serves as a storage area rather then lend itself to some ambiance. We also got to listen to "poopie" stories most of our meal by a 8-9 yo boy. Nice. Maybe a "pricey" and promotedly upscale restaurant could cater a little more to the adults that frequent this playground called Girdwood and have a separate area for those with children much like bar is for adults. While some of this is the issue of the Double Musky and some is not, the fact remains on what should have been a romantic evening back at the B&B that we paid $200.00 for the night was wasted as we were both sick with horrible diahrea in the bathrooms. Try as I might I can not find one saving grace for this place. Oh, yeah..forgot the imported beers we ordered were awesome. In talking with some Girdwood locals were heard stories of the place having gone down hill in the last few years. A mention of "the son took over" was the promient reason for the decline. Skip it! Double Musky meal was $100.00 for two for two drinks, two beers and two steaks. I have had better steaks at Lone Star. I should also mention we have eaten all over the world, maybe some folks who haven't will continue to recommend this kibble, I for one can not. I truly would not have fed that steak to my dog. Avoid it. If you want to eat in Girdwood, you want quality food, serice and atmosphere, go to Seven Glacier Restaurant at Alyeska Resort. I recommend the Ahi, but that's another review.”

• I liked the "idea" behind what this place must have been like one day.
• I really did not like the closing of the bar tab before dinner. Two credit card charges is not necesary.

• Food, wine list, desert, scenic drive.
• Wait.

“We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. They had several restaurants and offered room service (although we didn't use either). Also had other amenities (pool, tennis courts, and internet). The room was very clean and the front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room attendant was also very helpful. The hotel is in a good, safe location. Close by to a supermarket if you want to buy snacks/water which is helpful when you're there multiple nights; however the only downside is there is no fridge so we couldn't keep our water cool.”

• Outstanding steak! Best I ever had!
• Having to pay for our drinks while we waited and not being able to carry the table with us to the table we ate at!

“When we arrived it was busy so they seated us in a side room and we ordered drinks while we waited for a table. Then we had to pay for our drinks when our table was ready. I think we should have been able to carry our tab with us, since we were having dinner here. That had to have been the only thing I found negative about it. The steak was out of this world. If your ever visiting Alaska this is a must do!”

• None.
• Trashy environment, high priced and very long waiting time.

“The owner/hostess was racially selective about sitting her clients. I, Korean descent, along with my party of four were bumped further and further down the list as I observed members arriving later obtained their seats before us. The restaurant does not take reservations as well which adds to the waiting. I did not confront the owner/hostess to prove my observation, needless-to-say I did not had to. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!”
