Fine Dining:
|
Marx Bros.
Cafe, 627 West 3rd St,
Anchorage -- A sentence with the
words 'Anchorage Fine Dining' isn't complete without
the mention of Marx Bros. Cafe. Simply phenonmenal!
-- Sandra, Anchorage
Benihana, 1100 W. 8th Ave,
Anchorage -- A fantastic
Japanese restaurant where they bring out the food
and cook it right in front of your table of 8-10
people. I always skip breakfast on days that I know
I'm going to Benihana's! You just sit back and
slowly eat, eat, eat! -- Brian, Chugiach, AK.
The
Hotel Captain Cook, 4th & K St,
Anchorage --
There are several restaurants inside of this great
hotel. They range from fine dining to casual
and I've eaten at ALL of them! You can't go
wrong with any. Sheer decadence throughout the
entire hotel. -- M.J.,
Anchorage, AK
The Pump House,
796 Chena Pump Rd,
Fairbanks -- Absolutely fantastic food
and an awesome view! The food-- fine dining.
The atmosphere-- casual, warm and inviting.
Lavelle's
Bistro, 575 First Ave,
Fairbanks -- For the discerning wine
connoisseur! Exceptional food and endless wine
selection. They even offer scheduled wine tastings.
Menu is a bit pricy but worth it. Open only for
dinner. -- Hally and Tom, Fairbanks.
The
Haute Quarter Grill, Glenn Hwy,
Eagle River -- This
used to be my favorite place for lunch.
They're no longer open for lunch only for dinner.
While the food is still fantastic, plan to drop
$60-$70 per couple. Don't let the location
fool you, though! (it's right next to a Brown Jug
liquor store!) -- Craig, Eagle River, AK. |
|
Casual:
| Solstice Bar and
Grill, 720 W. 5th Ave, Anchorage
-- We found this
place in the Westmark Hotel. Typically we
don't care for hotel restaurants because they seem
a little stuffy to us. But Solstice has a nice
comfortable atmosphere with good prices. We
particularly liked their breakfast. -- Bob and Janie
K., Seattle, WA. Glacier Brewhouse, 737 W. 5th Ave,
Anchorage -- I
travel to Anchorage quite a bit and I usually make
it a point to visit the Glacier Brewhouse at least
once each trip. I love the brewhouse for it's
energized atmosphere (ALWAYS busy), the food and,
of course, the great beer! The calamari is some of
the best I've ever tasted. The only drawback is
that they often have extremely long waits (they've
quoted two hours before!) during tourist season. But once you get sat,
you're sure to enjoy yourself.-- Bill Y., Cleveland,
OH.
Ray's Waterfront,
1316 4th Ave, Seward
-- Fabulous, fresh seafood dishes and a great view.
You can't go wrong there.
Millennium Hotel brunch,
4800 Spenard, Anchorage
-- We never miss a Sunday
brunch at the Millennium. They have an extensive
buffet line
that includes fresh prime rib, omelets to order, crab legs,
eggs benedict, fresh fruits and salads and a desert
table that seems to never end! It's a bit pricey and
the service is hit-or-miss but the food is
fantastic. Also, the view overlooks the lake where
you can watch the seaplanes taking off and coming
in. Overall a relaxing, enjoyable meal. --
Cara and Jeff, Anchorage, AK.
Moose's Tooth Pub and
Pizzeria, 3300 Old Seward Hwy,
Anchorage --
Absolutely the best pizza in AK! They also
brew their own great beers. Great selections-- you
can even combine premium pizzas! I'm not just
talkin' half pepperoni, half sausage-- I mean like
half blackened halibut and half chicken cordon bleu!
Now that's a pizza! Definitely worth the wait
(they're always busy). -- Sam (Samantha), Eagle
River, AK.
Doc Water's Pub, 2
Marine Way, Juneau
-- They have areas that are fine dining and others
that are more casual so I wasn't sure which category
to put it under. But anyway, the whole place
is great. Excellent food, live music, great beer.
Definitely worth a visit.
Evangelos, 2530 E.
Parks Hwy, Wasilla
-- Nice restaurant if you're staying in, or simply
passing through, Wasilla. It has Greek and Italian
influence and its menu is diverse. We are addicted
to the artichoke crab dip! -- Ted and Nancy, Palmer,
AK.

Extremely Casual:
| Jalapeno's Mexican
Restaurant, 11823 Old Glenn Hwy,
Eagle River -- This
is the best Mexican food in all of Anchorage and
surrounding areas. Great food and incredible
salsa. Only thing missing is the tequila!
(they don't have a liquor license) but you can get
beer/wine. Other than
that it's great. -- Wasilla, AK.
Food Factory, 44 College
Rd, Fairbanks --
Awesome cheesesteak sandwiches and wings! - Adam
Presling, Fairbanks, AK.
Pizza Man, at the
Eagle River/Artillery exit
-- Pizza Man is my
favorite AK restaurant....because it hasn't changed
over all the years! Still good, still cheap
and the same today as it's always been. That's
hard to find! J.C.-- Eklutna, AK.
Marty's New York Bagel and
Deli, 901 E. Diamond Blvd,
Anchorage -- Ever had
a REAL New York bagel!??! Well Marty's puts out the real
thing. It's a casual deli/bagel shop/cafe that
serves breakfast and lunch. They make everything in
house, from scratch. And did I mention the
bagels....!!! Great internet access too. -- Rob
Stetson, Anchorage, AK.
Tommy's Burger Stop, 1106
W 29th Pl, Anchorage
-- Great Burgers! -- Unknown
contributor, Anchorage AK.
Panda Restaurant, 605 E. Northern Lights,
Anchorage
-- If you're looking for a Chinese
restaurant, this is the place to go! Very good food
at reasonable prices. -- anonymous
Fresh Sourdough Express, 1316 Ocean Dr,
Homer -- An
ORGANIC restaurant! I never even knew there were
such a thing! They even grow their own herbs. The
food was amazing. Open for breakfast, lunch or
dinner. |
