However, you might not be able to see how they are related/connected to one another... because, really, they're not.

Crab Cakes were cooked wonderfully, with a great crust and savory interior. Almond Halibut was a very tender filet of fish. The Cheeks was equally as tasty, with a divine risotto. Although its fish was a bit more chewy. The sauces on every dish were so delicious and definitely stood out. Bratwurst had some solid sausages too. Easily worth the price!

10/10, Highly Recommend…read more This has to be one of the most restful and beautiful places on earth. When I walked in I didn't know whether to relax on the deck and enjoy the scenery or lie down on one of the beds and take a nap. If I could afford a vacation home, this is exactly what I'd want. My words won't do it justice, but I'll try. The lodge is in Indian, about halfway between Anchorage and the bus depots for people traveling to Whittier or Seward. The views of snow capped mountains and ocean water of Turnagain Arm are unforgettable. We were even able to watch passing Beluga whales for a few minutes. The lodge has three floors, three full baths, four HUGE comfortable beds and two smaller beds. There are upper and lower living rooms with big windows looking out at the mountains, as well as a full open kitchen for socializing. There is a wide deck around 3 sides with a railing that even a toddler couldn't get through, plus lots of chairs, deck chairs and rocking chairs. Roger and Arlene, the owners, are a lot of fun, and can really entertain with their stories of Alaska and gold mining. After several days of sightseeing, this was the most beautiful and perfect place to rest and relax. The icing on the cake.

Clearly the Finest Flyfishing Lodge in America. Every day is a new adventure. Unfortunately, once…read moreyou have fished and caught the native rainbow trout here, you will be ruined for all other places. They are big and the fight. It is all barbless hooks, which only adds to the thrill. Toss in the wildlife, bears in particular, and you will have an unbelievable outdoor adventure. You first day will start on the "local" Kulik River. Worry not your arm will be begging for mercy at the end of the day. In addition to trout, there are also Salmon waiting to be caught. Kulik Lodge will provide everything needed, rods, waders, boots and tackle. The guides are ready to assist people at any level. Bryce, Ned, Tyler, Charlie, Duncan, ... they are all here to make sure your adventure is memorable. In the evening, as you are enjoying your evening drink of choice, you will decided your next days adventure. Fly-outs are a thrill. Landing on a small pond or river just adds to the fishing adventure. Once you have rousted you gear from the plane you will hike down to the river. Your day could be a float down a river or a hike up or down. No matter which you choose, you will come back to Kulik with many stories of your days adventure. Kulik is "rustic", but with first class service. Meghan will make sure when you return to you room, beds are made and everything is spotless. Lindsco in the kitchen will make sure your tummy isn't being forgotten too. Breakfast is basically anything you want. Lunch, most times you guide will be carrying your choice of sandwich and treats to be eaten on the river. Dinner is family style with anything from roast beef to lamb loin chops to salmon. There are always three proteins to select from ... one, two or all three can be selected. If you want "bucket list" experience, Kulik Lodge is the place. Many of their customers have been returning for 20+ years. You will not be a nameless person there. They will say your name on the first day.

First this is NOT a Bed & Breakfast -- B&Bs serve a hot breakfast, not a continental breakfast…read morethat's nothing more than fruit, bagels, and yogurt. Yes, there's breakfast but it's nothing special and it is not a sit-down hot breakfast. The location is awful. Yes, it's close to the airport so if you need to be close to the airport that's a good thing I guess. But there's nothing other than a gas station and a couple of chain restaurants (McDonalds, etc.) within walking distance. And because it's right on Lake Hood the seaplanes are taking off and landing throughout the day which is VERY loud. If you're hoping for a mid-day nap be sure to bring earplugs. The entire hotel is decorated in a plane/flying theme - it was way over the top in my opinion but I guess that appeals to some people. The rooms are very dated (think early 90s) but clean and comfortable. The prices are really high, it was more expensive than the awesome B&B we stayed in just a few days prior (Wildflower Inn near downtown Anchorage, do yourself a favor and book there), and it didn't even have a full breakfast. The woman (owner?) who checked us in was nice but a bit disorganized. Overall I would not recommend this hotel, there's places that offer much plusher rooms and amazing breakfasts for less cost.

I have heard stories about how it was quite the place back in the day, but now it just strikes me as odd. They have less oil and gas folks than they once did which speaks to how anchorage has changed, but I never would have expected a baby to appear in the bar of the PCA but it happened. The food is nothing special and the service isn't the quickest but if you want to have an a good place to people watch, this is it!

I'm so happy the PCA is open for lunch again! Before Covid, it was my favorite place in town to…read moretake clients to lunch, and now it's back with even better food! It's private and exclusive, but not in a stuffy or bougie way... more like a quiet place to have a delicious, quick lunch and a meeting, where the staff knows your name and provides excellent service. They have brought back the soup and salad bar, which is the best in town by far. So there's a super quick lunch option for anyone working in midtown, without getting stuck with the same old boxed salads you're used to. If you're in for a bit more of the long haul, the wings, steak bites, pork bellies, and phillys are all outstanding. There seems to be a contingent trying to make the two-martini lunch cool again, and while I will not join them (until 5), I applaud and support their efforts. Still a private club, so not everyone can go, but getting set up as a member is cost effective compared to what I think people might be imagining. Check it out!

This is a beautiful venue! I came here twice during my visit to Alaska: once for a wedding…read morerehearsal and then for the wedding! There's a nice boardwalk that encircles the pond which is filled with lily pads. As we walked around the lake we saw baby ducks swimming which just added to the serenity of the nature outside. Inside the venue there's a kitchen/bar and an upstairs area which was used by the bridal party to get ready - and hide from the groom! Views from the balcony are just beautiful! Flowers, trees and mountains. It's really breathtaking! You are responsible for cleaning up and table decor. The owners were very kind! My favorite thing was he fact that with the customers consent, they will donate the center pieces to the nursing home nearby.

Their ginger beer is made with Alaska glacier-fed water ,ginger, lemon, habanero, and raw honey--bright, spicy, and incredibly refreshing without being overly sweet. I also love their Red Dragon Punch (pomegranate lemonade with ginger and honey), and The Spark, a zero-sugar sparkling water with cold-pressed ginger, lemon, and habanero. You can find them at the South Anchorage Farmers Market in the summer, special pop up events and their drinks are also served at places like Moose's Tooth and Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop.
