• Great view, that's about it.
• Service was very poor, general menu knowledge very poor.

“I was on a recent visit to Anchorage for a few nights and decided to check out the "top of the world restaurant". I first entered the restaurant and sat at the bar to have a drink. I ordered a nice bottle of wine from the bartender and had a glass before walking out onto the deck to have some dinner. So far, everything was fine. I had a seat in the corner overlooking the city and waited, and waited, finally I flagged down a bus boy and asked him for a menu and to send over the waiter. The buzzer said ok, I will get him. Evidently he got distracted by something and totally forgot about me. I looked around and there were maybe half a dozen tables, nothing too busy. Finally I flagged a waiter down dropping a check a couple of tables away, I asked him if he is my waiter. He exclaimed, " I don't know, Do you want me to be?" I found this a little strange and said sure. He then took his time and finally came back about five minutes later. I ordered a tenderloin steak and he brought me a new York strip and didn't even realize the difference between the two. His general knowledge, and professionalism was very low and I wasn't at all impressed with the quality of the food. The chowder was premade and the potatoes in it were still raw and I ordered a Med. Rare steak and it was almost well done. I refused the steak and finished my bottle of wine and left very unimpressed. If you are in Anchorage, I would suggest going to either "Club Paris", or Sullivan's Steakhouse if you want good food and good service. The Hilton should be ashamed. Steer clear of top of the world unless all you want is a drink. Even that took over ten minutes to get. Don't waste your time or money there. ”
