They've also got a bar in there so if you feel like an adult beverage they've got you covered. I will be back for more of their pancakes in the future.

The place was small but it's not busy season yet so we were seated quickly and the food was served in a reasonable amount of time. I read another review that said the place smelled like smoke, and while it did smell a little like fry oil, I feel like the smell went away and the food and company far outweighed any odd smells. We had the mussels, crab legs, salmon dip, grilled halibut, stuffed mushrooms and Cesar salad. It was all great!

The food was delicious, the service was so welcoming, and the whole atmosphere gave us such a good feeling. The only thing I'd suggest is the ventilation. It wasn't strong enough, so you could still smell the smoke. Overall, it was a great first stop for our Girdwood adventure, and we left feeling happy, full, and ready to explore!

I'll be separating my review between service and food. I'm noting this down to bring both my…read morecompliments and criticisms. The food was phenomenal. If food alone was what I'm rating, this place would be a 3 or 4. I, myself, ordered the French toast breakfast with poached eggs and bacon. The food was fitting and definitely delicious. Price is a little iffy for the amount given, but the quality of the food was amazing. My family liked their food as well. However, removing the food aspect from the equation, the service was a bit off putting. From a simple glance around the room, there was a CLEAR difference how our table was treated in contrast to other tables from the way we were spoken to, checked on, and assisted, and I am sad to say it was not in a good way. 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.

This is not just a restaurant--it is a culinary experience that reflects passion, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for Alaska's incredible produce. The ambience is exceptional. The restaurant is housed in a beautifully restored old home that has been transformed into an architectural gem. Large French windows flood the dining room with natural light and frame breathtaking views of Mount Alyeska. Watching the lush green mountains as clouds gently drift across their peaks creates an atmosphere that is peaceful, intimate, and uniquely Alaskan. Even before the food arrives, the experience begins with the menu itself. It is beautifully designed, thoughtfully curated, and filled with clever, catchy dish names that immediately make you smile. It perfectly reflects the restaurant's creativity and personality, making you excited to order even before the first plate reaches the table. I ordered the blackened Alaska sablefish, one of Alaska's signature fish, and it was magnificent. The fish was incredibly buttery, perfectly cooked, and lightly finished with sea salt, allowing its natural flavors to shine. Every bite reminded me why sablefish is considered one of Alaska's finest seafood delicacies. My wife and son both had the meat burger, and it was outstanding. It was juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection--no ordinary burger. The quality of the beef really stood out and made it one of the best burgers we've had. The dessert was unforgettable. The olive oil chocolate cake with sea salt, layered with a luscious vanilla cream cheese filling, was simply to die for. Rich without being heavy, beautifully balanced, and one of the finest desserts we've had in a long time. What impressed me just as much as the food was the people. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Franz, the owner, who shared that he moved here from Michigan 25 years ago and has never looked back. His passion for Alaska, hospitality, and exceptional food is evident throughout the restaurant. That same passion is shared by the entire team. Every member of the staff genuinely cares about creating a memorable dining experience, and their warmth and enthusiasm make you feel incredibly welcome. It is also clear that the kitchen is led with experience and excellence. The current chef, having spent many years at the renowned Alyeska Resort, brings tremendous skill and refinement to every plate while celebrating local Alaskan ingredients. Fresh ingredients, flawless execution, spectacular views of Mount Alyeska, thoughtful architecture, a beautifully crafted menu brimming with personality, and heartfelt hospitality--Jack Sprat delivers on every level. This is easily one of the finest dining experiences we've had in Alaska, and a restaurant that deserves recognition far beyond Girdwood. We cannot wait to return.

I was so bummed about my experience here because I had been so excited to go! The space itself is…read morecute & vibey, but upon walking up and requesting a table of 1, I was immediately approached with resistance. They said they were full & couldn't seat me. I asked if I could wait until a table opened up, to which I was asked, "you want to wait?" - it felt as if they didn't want me there & I honestly wasn't sure why. Regardless I said yes & was able to wait 30 minutes to get a seat. The waiter was lovely. I ordered a stone bowl & he said I would be able to swap out the egg with mushrooms without any issues / fees. But when I got my bill later, they charged me $6 to do this. I kindly asked why & if they could adjust to which he said they absolutely would. But then he came back and said the owner said actually they won't be adjusting the bill. It just felt... odd & honestly not great customer service overall. I wouldn't have ordered my meal the way I did had I been told differently. I promptly paid my bill and left. I will say it was incredibly overpriced for what I got. I ordered the stone bowl + a soda and paid $60! For one person that is quite a bit. Unfortunately I won't be coming back or recommending this to others.

If that's not you, you have no business coming here unless it's really late at night...and if that's true...you can find better food back in Anchorage. The food is not bad, but it ain't good. You will be paying Girdwood prices for the type of food you could make at home when you were 24. The vibes are not bad, but they are pretty pedestrian. Service is slow as hell.

This was the restaurant where I had my very first pepper steak, and it remains absolutely incredible. The pepper sauce delivers a rich flavor that elevates an already stellar cut of meat. I'm not sure where they source their beef, but it easily tops most steaks I find back home in Montana. The tenderness, texture, and flavor profile are spot-on--I would take a Double Musky steak over Morton's or Ruth's Chris any day of the week. Thank you for making my return visit so memorable and for keeping the tradition of the Double Musky alive. It means so much to know that some classic places never change!"

We've tried the seaweed salad, a couple of their sushi rolls, and an assortment of other items. My new favorite thing might be the crispy spicy ahi bites. Each bite a perfect size, so crunchy and with a thin slice of Jalapeño on top. I also enjoyed the steamed pork gyoza, each one super succulent and tasty. My husband tried the fried chicken thigh with tartar sauce, which was delicious. The chicken was super flavorful and the tartar sauce was like egg salad but worked with the flavors which was a nice surprise. We like splitting a large 22 oz bottle of Sapporo, but we have also liked ordering a small bottle of sake to share in lieu of dessert. The last time we went I got the gluten-free chocolate cake which was pretty good but laughably tiny in size ($10). Wait times can vary depending on the day you go and time, we've been seated immediately (party of 2) as well as waited an hour for a table. Speaking of which, you may be seated at their largest table which they also seat other parties, so it feels a bit communal as opposed to private. Sakura has maintained their quality in food over the years and their waitstaff are excellent each time we go. I always look forward to time spent here and you can't go wrong with anything you choose on the menu.

We could barely eat by the time our final rolls came out. Only docking a star for the service/organization. It's a very small restaurant, so a large table is certainly a challenge, but we felt like we basically had to organize our seating ourselves, even though we'd had a conversation with the hostess about it about 30 minutes before our group showed up. When we came back with our group, it was like that conversation hadn't happened.
