I finally got to a point in my life where I could take my father out for a nice dinner rather than him taking me out. Carina's did not disappoint! The service was phenomenal, I had the lemon garlic fish and he had a pasta dish and both were fantastic. We also ordered old fashions (alcohol) and how they delivered it with a multitude of shaped and crafted ice as well as a selection of wood chips they smoke on the drink was impressive to say the least. Little expensive, but you leave feeling the money was worth it. As someone that's traveled a lot and seeks the nicest places wherever I'm at, I would say Carina's is the peak of dining in Wasilla. Food, service, and drinks were memorable and I will certainly go back for special occasions. Plus- the ambience and atmosphere are welcoming and warming and you are there for an experience not just food. Shout out to the waiter he was beyond excellent.

I don't know how I could give this place higher praise after the incredibly tasty meal we were served. We started with the Calamari and also the Empanadas for the table. I've had Empanadas at least 40-50 different times and locations all over the world No joke these were the tastiest ones I have ever had. I crispy initial bite followed by a soft warm/hot filling that was packed with goodness The green sauce was so good I forgot to try the whiter sauce. I would literally come back just for these as they were out of the world delicious. The calamari was tasty and prepared well not over cooked or undercooked. The chef prepared them well but my focus was on the Empanadas so I hardly ate any Calamari. Then came the entrees and I was blown away at the Seafood Linguini. The scallops & , shrimp-were perfectly cooked in a rich and creamy sauce that was Devine. It struck the perfect balance of a delicious garlic, buttery goodness with the cream. Just the right amount of sauce that every bite was covered in sauce but somehow it packed a punch of flavor in every bite. I wish tomorrow wasn't my last day in Wasilla before heading home because I could come to this place everyday I was so good. Now for the final treat, the view. Nestled on a hill overlooking this beautiful lake with mountains in the background I'm struggling to paint a picture worthy of that view. When I first arrived I thought to myself this place must survive purely on the views given the bad reviews. Not at all, even though I would put this view as my top 2-3 ever at a restaurant ( Compared to a Michelin restaurant in Cannes France overlooking the Ocean, a restaurant at the top of a mountain in Keystone Colorado, and this place all breathtaking. Having said that, I actually think the food was better than the view if that's possible. Next time I make it back to Alaska, this place will be my first stop for certain. I sure hope when I make it back in a year or two it's performing at this level because this was an experience I won't soon forget. If you're on the fence based on reviews, do yourself a favor and at least try the Empanadas or Seafood Linguini. These are unforgettable!

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt elevated but still welcoming, perfect for a celebration. The setting by the lake adds such a beautiful touch, even in the winter and the whole experience just felt a little extra special. The menu has something for everyone, from incredible steaks to fresh seafood, and you can really tell they focus on quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the portions were generous without feeling overdone. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to and recommending to friends and family. If you've been thinking about trying it, don't wait like we did... it's absolutely worth it!

My favorite things there are the halibut fish and chips (on special many Fridays) and the Manhattan Dip (hamburger patties on a French Dip). The fries are always super tasty and breakfasts are always a big hit. The bartenders always pour right and the prices are reasonable. Their bloody mary is one of the spiciest and best I've had. Great for Sunday brunch! Sure it's a bit campy- the owner likes his oldies tunes, christmas lights seem like they're on all year, and don't judge the place by the carpet.
