    One pound was

    The food here is *chefs kiss We stayed across the street at the Ski Inn and walked over. We arrived before the dinner rush around 4 pm on a Friday night. It was a little smokey from a lack of ventilation, but it was worth sticking it out. We ordered the mushrooms, clam chowder, king crab and lava cake for good measure. We were in heaven! The cake was a little overdone and the chocolate had solidified, but everything else was 10/10! Our final destination was Soldotna & we will be stopping in for some more soup before we leave Alaska! If they could open some windows or invest in a bigger, commercial fan they'd be golden!

    soup slut approval GET THE CHOWDER (sorry explicit but necessary) also the stuffed mushrooms app hit ‍ our server was really sweet and it was a homey vibe :)

    Smoked Salmon + Clam Chowder
    Ruby S.

    We didn't experience a great first impression of customer service considering we're the only two dining in for about half an hour before the next patrons popped in. My uncle said three times, "Hello!" Male staff appeared to be more focused on laptop and finally responded, "I'll be there." When male staff arrived to our table, my uncle said, "We're ready to order." Customer service gradually improved with male staff and after a female employee arrived while we indulged in soup, appetizer and main entree. Restaurant was completely out of king crab and oysters when we clarified with the male staff, saw the sticker labeled out on menu and their morning shipment didn't arrive. Smoked Salmon + Clam Chowder in a bowl was a winner! Highly ideal for below zero degrees Fahrenheit weather. Able to taste both fresh Alaskan smoked salmon and clams. Toasted bread complemented this fabulous chowder. Smoked Salmon Spread with cream cheese, thinly sliced baguette, on a bed of leafy greens, capers, red onions, cucumbers, and red, orange and yellow bell peppers. Everything made fresh and tasty! 1 lb Dungeness crab was served heat hot with two containers of drawn butter. Loved how the shell was very easy to crack, peel, pulled out the fresh crab meat. Enjoyable to consume. Vegetable medley and diced potatoes were included. There's free parking and a clean washroom/ restroom inside the restaurant.

    Best clam chowder I've ever had! It's definitely something you have to get even as a starter. So fresh and delicious I couldn't stop thinking about it. Also got the ahi tuna bowl and that was amazing. The king crab apparently is phenomenal, but $415 for 3 pounds is a bit pricey. They have a lot of rotating specials and their drinks are pretty reasonably priced. Definitely a great mountain town place.

    We had burgers and gyros. They were very satisfying. The burger was thick, juicy, and well seasoned. The gyro had delicious tzatziki and cucumbers with soft tasty meat. The service was friendly. The interior is very 'base campy' with some lovely art work. Reasonable prices. Next time you're in Girdwood, stop in for lunch!

    The vibe is giving "seen better days" (yes, there's a ripped leather couch), and I almost left. Stayed, ordered the tuna poke bowl - and it was actually really good. The server was super friendly and attentive, which helped a lot. Come for the food, not the decor.l!

    Snow crab legs with a pound of shrimp and hot apple cider

    I love the place. It's welcoming. It has delicious food. We arrived to Alaska and the very first evening. We decided to have dinner and this was the place we picked. Of course, in Alaska that you have to try all the seafood and everything that it's known for so we went for the oysters because we absolutely love oysters, and these were delicious. I supremely enjoyed them. We also had the garlic cheesy pasta- it was delicious. The kids cheeseburger was phenomenal. A good portion also. We also had the chowder, which was tasty. The ambience itself was very cozy and welcoming and the people working there were patient and helpful. We ended up going there the very second day to have the snow crab legs with shrimp and the hot apple cider, which I recommend. We spoke with the owner, nice guy. Definitely worth visiting this place. It also has a hidden bathroom which is so cool.

    To start with, the place is so cute. Not overdone with decor and humble. The artwork they have is beautiful also. The service was great, friendly staff and quick service. But the food is top notch. We got the salmon spread, a jalapeño burger and just the normal cheeseburger. But it was all SO GOOD.

    Sorry, I gorgon to take a pic of strawberry salad either chevre and candied walnuts, but the plate is super pretty!

    I've been coming here for a while now, service and food have always been exceptional. I particularly love the fettuccine in garlic cream sauce with chicken. We came in on Saturday 8/2 for lunch, and I elected not t have the heavy cream pasta for lunch, and went for a Jalapeno burger instead, husband ordered the chowder. I did not recognize any of the staff, except for one of the servers, who I've seen before. The other servers kept having to ask her for guidance. The boss was also notably absent - Salmonfest was happening, so maybe the staff were attending. (The bar across the road were closed due to Salmonfest, which is the only way I knew it was happening) A lone chowder was up on the pass, sitting there for a while, but no sign of my patty on the grill. A couple who came in after us were served before us, and still the chowder sat there. Eventually, I was handed my burger and he was given the chowder that had sat for a while on the pass. I removed the onion and pickles from my burger, I assembled it, took one bite, and a gush of red myoglobin shot out, the interior of the burger was rare, it looked raw to be honest - I always ask for well done, but my husband interrupted and requested medium. I eat medium rare steak all the time - I love it, but the cooking rules for steaks don't hold true for ground beef temperatures, this is because the germs that are present on the surface of a steak, stay on the surface and are killed during the cooking process, but for ground beef, there are multiple "surfaces" and the interior of the burger must be cooked to 160f to eliminate the germs within. I personally like my burgers well done because then I know I won't get salmonella or E.Coli. I do not believe it's safe to eat rare burgers. This was a disgusting burger, and I handed it back to the server, who asked me if it was not cooked to the temperature I liked? Excuse me? it's raw, and sitting in a pool of red, I was about to explode with anger. She gave it back to the cook, who just put it back on the griddle. It came back to me, well done, but in the same bun, which by this time was flattened and worse for wear. The recooked burger lacked seasoning. It was not good. I ate half. The server comped my burger, which under the circumstances was the least she could do. I seriously hope these were temporary staff, and that the regular staff were at Salmonfest. That lunch ruined my day.

    We found this place on Yelp after visiting a nearby animal conservation center, and it's nestled in Girdwood just a few miles off Seward Highway. This place is tiny inside. There are around eight tables and seats at a bar for roughly a dozen. There were a few empty tables from we arrived, but they had been reserved, so we waited a few minutes for another party to leave. Three of us ordered the chowder ($8 cup, $12 bowl) plus a steak quesadilla ($18) to split. Our fourth had a cheeseburger ($19) that came with chips (option for a side salad). The chowder was delicious and came with two slices of baguette each. Lots of flavor, whole clams, and plenty of salmon and potatoes - highly recommend. If it is your main course, definitely go for the bowl. The cheeseburger was a freshly made patty, very juicy with toppings of lettuce, tomato, and onion. Service was good, a bit slow in that it took around 30 minutes for our food to arrive. That was frustrating because three of the items were soup that was literally being served out of a huge vat. There seemed to be only one line cook and two tour groups in the restaurant were served before us even though we had ordered first. I can understand why they take precedence since they need to keep moving, but we were getting hungrier watching their food arrive. Overall a fun and tasty lunch!

    Basecamp has been on my list for sometime and I've seen their deals in the local Val-Pak. Basecamp's attentive solo server, is really efficient. She'll take care of you...and everyone else. Unfortunately, she works with a cook who, to put it plainly, doesn't want to be there, and he isn't shy about letting the entire restaurant know. We visited on a Saturday evening. We were seated in the last avail back booth. The restaurant is bright and cozy. With decent local tap options, we were able to enjoy a local stout and blonde. We ordered a salmon dip appetizer, (as they had just ran out of chowder), 1lb crab legs with steamed veggies ($40), cajun pasta and a white cream pasta. The cook came out to tell the server that our order was "a lot of food for 2 people,"......he said he "wanted to see this!" It was rude. Soon after, the solo server gets off the phone with "Chair 5 Restaurant," who lets her know "they're unable to accommodate a family with babies." Solo server, being the considerate gem she is, gave the cook a heads up. Said "family with babies," walks in and the cook huffed and puffed and said "shit,".........Sir.........did you not JUST get the heads up from your server, about this?! The Cajun pasta was "better later," but definitely on the noticeably sweeter side. The crab legs were dungeonness. We cracked a few open to try in restaurant, finished the salmon dip (the star of the show), and took the majority of our order, to go. I'm glad I was able to cross Basecamp off my list.

    Short version - Worst food and service in Alaska. Go somewhere in Girdwood…read more Long version - I went to dinner with my family (6 of us). I ordered the game burger and added an additional patty. The waitress (I think her name was Zoey) acknowledged this request. My burger came out first but was missing the extra patty. Shortly thereafter, the meals for 4 people in my party were served. They had forgotten my son's cheeseburger. I let the woman who dropped off our food that I was missing a patty and my son didn't get his cheeseburger. "Well it wasn't written on the ticket,"she said. "OK. But we ordered it." I replied. "Alright. We'll get those out shortly," she stated. Shortly?!?! Everyone the table finished their entire meals before my son's cheeseburger was served and he finished his meal before my extra patty was served. My young children were getting impatient and my wife took them outside to play. At this point the first patty was cold and I was left to eat my overcooked burger by myself. My father-in-law came back inside as I was finishing up my uninspired meal and asked our server if he could get a separate bill for he and his wife. "We don't split bills for parties of 6 or more people AND there's an automatic 20% gratuity . What a racket. The food sucked, the service was worse, and our server was automatically over tipped. Worst Father's Day dinner I have ever had. PS - I looked at their website when writing this review. It states that parties of 6 or more will have an automatic 15% gratuity. So the server is bad at her job AND a liar?

We did get the dip bread appetizer about 15 minutes after ordering which helped. Then we waited another full hour after finishing it before our food arrived. The food was inconsistent. The chow fun noodles were undercooked. More like al dente pasta which does not work for a Chinese dish. The burgers came with fries that were cold and hard. They did fix that quickly and brought fresh fries which were much better. The wagyu burger was the biggest disappointment. The meat tasted very gamey. That is not what you expect from wagyu which should be rich and buttery. I ended up trying to cover the taste with toppings just to eat it. Not enjoyable. Our child did enjoy her grass fed beef burger and had no complaints. The atmosphere is great. Live music adds a nice touch. We also liked the shop next door and the outdoor wood fire. We like this place and wanted it to be a great experience. The food and timing just missed the mark this time. Hoping they improve because the setting is really nice.

I hope that this is a one time thing where the woman who assisted us was having a bad day, but with her showing kindness to other tables, but appearing as if we were a drag to assist throughout the whole meal, it's quite a disheartening feeling. I may try out this place again (maybe not for breakfast) but at the time being, this place is not somewhere I'd recommend.

Spectacular scenery is everywhere, so don't expect the view alone to justify the cost. Our dinner was one of the biggest disappointments of our entire trip. We were celebrating our friends' 30th wedding anniversary, making the evening especially meaningful. Our bill was over $1,700 for our group, and not one person at our table said they even liked their meal. Several dishes were barely edible. My scallop soup contained one scallop that was not fully cooked and a tiny piece of cracker. The gazpacho was overwhelmingly spicy. The beet salad was served over scattered drops of horseradish that weren't even applied consistently from one plate to another, making the dish feel careless and unbalanced. The main courses were average at best. Some people didn't even finish their filet mignon, which should be one of the easiest dishes for a restaurant of this caliber to get right. The desserts were just as disappointing. No one finished theirs, and no one had anything positive to say about them. The service was equally unacceptable. Before dinner even began, one of our friends quietly asked the waiter if he could please bring a candle with the anniversary dessert to help celebrate the couple's 30th wedding anniversary. It was the very first request made after we were seated, yet it was completely overlooked. The desserts arrived with no candle, no acknowledgment of the occasion, and no apology. It may seem like a small detail, but it reflected the lack of attentiveness we experienced throughout the evening. Our waiter repeatedly reached across guests instead of serving properly, refused to clear plates himself because he wanted the bus staff to do it, and the overall service felt slow, awkward, and very unprofessional. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, every part of the meal seemed to take far longer than it should have. What really confirmed that it wasn't just us was talking to the family seated next to us--a group of 14--who felt exactly the same way about both the food and the service. I consider myself a true foodie. I love trying new restaurants and cuisines, and I'm far from being a picky eater. I almost never write negative reviews, but this experience was simply unacceptable. I had heard this restaurant was a "must-do" while visiting the area, which made the experience even more disappointing. In my opinion, it's simply not worth the money. I wouldn't even recommend paying to ride the tram just to dine here, because you'll find breathtaking scenery all over Alaska without spending hundreds of dollars on a meal that falls far short of expectations. I sincerely hope this review helps other travelers avoid making the same very expensive mistake we did.
