Alaska was showing off, the sun was out and we had the perfect window seat to capture the sunset. The entire staff is incredibly customer focused. They are attentive and desire for you to have a memorable experience. Ordered the oysters as an appetizer along with the lobster appetizer. Moved to a soup course which was absolutely delicious! Who knew roasted cauliflower soup with pickled florets and hazelnuts would taste so incredible. Main course was a generous serving of scallops. Cooked perfectly. Finished off with a delicious dessert. If you are in Anchorage, AK, I would highly recommend the Crows Nest. read more

The ONLY thing I'd change is I'd ask to be seated on the east or north side during dinner because it's a view of the mountains, and on the west side is a view of the water -- however as the sun is setting the screen is down so you can't really enjoy it. Otherwise, it opens at 4 and that's when you can take the elevator up to this lovely space. Service was prompt and polite, and food was really delicious. I recommend the house favorite: the pork chop. I ordered steak but had a little food envy. I'd definitely return. read more

The food was amazing! For an app, we shared the risotto, absolutely tasty. I had the halibut, which was delicious!! Others at the table also had the halibut and the filet. Everyone loved their meal. For dessert, we shared the banana split, the sorbet, and a mango tart. The view from the wall to wall windows are of the bay, and are quite beautiful. The services is absolutely wonderful. They were attentive, friendly, and quick. read more

This was my second and definitely not last visit to the Crow's Nest. Impeccable service, wonderful ambiance and delicious food. The food was so filling and at no point did I ever feel rushed. Our waitress, was very helpful when we couldn't decide which bottle of champagne to order. The Crow's Nest is a venue I wish I could visit more regularly, but at the price point it is something that we will reserve strictly for special occasions and holidays. We started with the risotto which was devine. I enjoyed the bisque and my husband the salad. All wonderfully balanced and perfect serving sizes. I went with my usual, the king crab which was perfectly cooked. My husband enjoyed the venison osso buco which he thoroughly enjoyed. read more

Excellent food and service. A favorite for us. Great view and atmosphere. Perfect for a special date. read more

I was a little torn with this review because our service was excellent. Patrick our server definitely deserves 5 stars but the food was somewhat disappointing. I made this reservation a month in advance from Arizona to celebrate my birthday so I was really looking forward to something great but instead it was okay. We tried the bone marrow for an appetizer which was good and I ordered the Halibut which was just meh. A 6 oz cut with no sides for $48 was a bummer, no seasoning or unique flavors really put a sour taste in my mouth. read more

The staff are five stars without a doubt. David was the absolute best server and their sommelier was really sweet and chatted with us for a while. The view is absolutely stunning and the food is good. The halibut was lively cooked and my husband got the fillet with crab which was nice but a bit salty. The dishes are simple but nice. I would definitely come back to try some other dishes. It is expensive but a really nice experience. read more

The view is amazing. I got the rib eye, rare. It was flavored perfect, but was cooked more medium to medium rare. What makes this place stand out is the view. So come before the sunset to enjoy the view, you'll love it! read more

We had a really lovely dinner here on our first night in Anchorage. Great service, great food, great view. We did not order any dishes that were prepared table-side, but we got to watch the very dramatic preparation of a flambé coffee drink which was elegantly prepared by our server for another table. read more

We landed in Anchorage in the afternoon and decided to try the Crow's Nest. It was dimly lit and very relaxing! It has spectacular views of Anchorage and it's surrounding mountains. Ashley was out waitress and she was very attentive and kind. I like to stick with one wine for the night, however, my husband loves to try new ones. I wish I could remember the wines but Ashley's recommendations upon his requests were absolutely delicious (I stole a sip from each). My husband eventually asked "surprise me with something opposite from previous wine" and she did not disappoint with a crisp Pinot grigip to finish up the night. The meat and cheese tray was also so delicious. Paired with the wines nicely. I had a lobster roll and we split a winter squash soup that felt like a warm hug in such a cold climate. Overall, anytime we stay at the captain cook we will be coming to the Crow's Nest. read more

Foods, ambiance, and service were top notch. We requested a table with nice ambience and we got it. Our server recommended the porkchop and I must say she really knew the best dish on the menu. Everything we got were excellent and I highly recommend this restaurant in Anchorage. It's inside Captain Cook hotel on the 20th floor. read more

Such a beautiful restaurant with 360 views of anchorage on the 21 floor. Such a nice dining experience. They had a wait time of 45 min for walk ins or you can sit at the bar area for first come first serve. We got a seat immediately. The waitress was so great super attentive and talkative and really informative about all the dishes. Food was some of the best we had in Alaska for sure! Got the lobster crudo and the swordfish. I tried a bite of my husbands grain bowl and it was so good especially considering that it's vegan. The drinks are very heavy handed as well and the martinis are served table side for an added show. My favorite spot to eat now in Alaska read more

A wonderful experience! After having heard mixed reviews, most of the negatives focused on the price tag, we ventured up to the top floor restaurant. Fine dining, it fits that bill in appearance but honestly the price wasn't any more than some of the 'nicer' restaurants in town. Coming from the DC/Baltimore area the prices were on the lower end for 'fine dining'. Service was impeccable. Our waiter did an excellent job with holding conversation but not being overbearing, was an expert in food origination, and sold his favorites very well. Was pleasant to discuss cocktails and their trends. Cocktails really ran the gambit in terms of price - 12-25 was the range of the evening. My Last Word was okay, definitely subpar(notably the only subpar experience of the evening). My wife had a thoroughly tasty cocktail with a good balance of fruit, tequila, and a liqueur that's escaping me(maybe it was St. Germaine?). Pork belly appetizer was delightful, crispy, juicy, and well dressed! Oysters hailed from Washington that evening and went very well with the house mignonette. My halibut was expertly executed - buttery, light, and seasoned perfectly. The veggie/rice bowl was pretty unexciting, but it's what my partner wanted and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The Bananas Foster was fantastic. Having it prepared tableside is a nice touch, but really the flavors speak for themselves. If you like hot caramelly banana slices over ice cream then get the Bananas Foster! read more

Definitely recommend reservations, the couple before us were on a waiting list with no guarantee to be seated. And not a quick in and out place either. They do validate parking in the garage. Went here for an anniversary/Valentine's Day dinner and it was impressive. The views (we were seated in a corner spot with views of downtown and the inlet), the ambiance, the service and the food did not disappoint. I usually order filet mignon with the intention of having a few bites of steak and sharing it- I like the sides best. But this had to have been the best made steak I've had as far as I can remember. No leftovers. Delicious drinks, "happy anniversary" written in chocolate on our dessert plate and a handwritten "happy anniversary" card. Details. Definitely coming back in the summer when the sun is setting over the inlet for more views and drinks. read more

We were visiting Anchorage for my birthday! My friends and Boo made a reservation at the Crow's Nest to celebrate which is one of my favorite places. The views are incredible, the food is awesome and the service is stellar. We started off with the apps of fried olives, raw oysters and the bone marrow. The bone marrow is my jam and this was some of the best I've ever had. It was seasoned well with caper relish and came with the yummiest grilled bread. The olives were also divine. I'm not an oyster fan but Boo loved them saying they were amazing, big, fat and juicy. We also had Caesar salads and split two amongst 4 of us. My only regret was not asking for my dressing, it was good. Next came our entrees, the Pork chop look great, Boo got the King Crab which was sweet and plentiful. I got the Halibut and my gal pal got the Salmon. Everything was spectacular! Of course we had left overs, it was a very delightful and rich meal. We opted out of dessert since we were full and had a show to go to. But they all sounded amazing. Highly recommend the Crow's Nest! A MUST!! read more

The view here is truly amazing and worth the price of admission. I feared the food would be "just ok" as is often the case with such a gorgeous setting. But the food was good overall and service was attentive. Cocktails, dessert, and steak to preferred temp were hit or miss. Overall woke recommend for a night out on the town in Anchorage. read more

"Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-- While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door." ....ok well it's not called the Raven, but close enough, Crow's nest. The place boasts hosting presidents, a view, good food and great service! Our server was Chelsea, who was attentive, engaging and wonderful! She's such a sweetheart! The place boasts views of Alaska, of course the weather now is 50s cloudy, and rainy, so can't see much of the landscape! But any other night, I'm sure the views are great! The pork chop was pretty juicy and delicious and the bone marrow was good! The Banana Foster apparently is a delicacy here. They bring it to your table and some magic fire concoction Houdini type effect. The other tables were raving about it, so maybe next time! They brought a nice warm fluffy bread with some butter, to wet the palette, and a small appetizer complements of the house. Delicious meal. Great location, great service and Chelsea really went above and beyond. I got a nice Sangria that tasted better than the one I had in Barcelona! Who knew, anchorage would serve Sangria! I thought it would end up being a tourist trap but prices are something you would see in a regular steakhouse. There were other restaurants that were higher priced. Do call for a reservation even if it's same day. Staff was happy, engaging and definitely not pretentious! read more

on our last day in Alaska, we hit up the The Crows Nest which is an upscale American seafood spot and had great views of the mountains and Anchorage, and to drink I had a Old Fashioned that had house-made date simple syrup and black walnut bitters. Solid drink, and we also got the oysters which for some reason were ginormous and didn't taste the freshest or saltiest. The lobster roll was good and slightly zesty, but I've had better. Now for the main, I had the Alaskan King Salmon with beet puree which I absolutely loved. The salmon was nicely pan fried, and I loved the crunchy skin. The delicate salmon went really well with the earthy flavor of the beet puree. The fingerling potatoes weren't as salty as I had hoped, and truffle mushrooms weren't very truffly. For dessert, the warm bomboloni donuts were solid, but the espresso tasted like they overroasted their beans. I'd come back for the salmon and a drink. read more

We made reservations months in advance at 530 pm, we were right on time and the dining room was empty. The hostess seemed unhappy to see us and we couldn't have been seated farther from the view of the Cook Inlet, The very last table in the back. Our server was very nice and the cocktails were great. We each received one cold dinner roll with butter. The Caesar salad appeared to have no dressing basically dry romaine, Parmesan and crouton. I ordered Salmon which was good but not hot, barely warm. My wife order King Crab for $125 that was something you would expect to see from Sizzler. The thinnest crab legs you could imagine, loaded with tendons. Costco in Northern Nevada has 10 times better King Crab. We each had a glass of wine which was very nice and the perfect temperature. We cancelled our return trip reservations and went to the Whale Tale On the trip back. read more

Before an event, my friend and I came to the Crow's Nest for drinks and appetizers. We were of course stunned by the scenery, but the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered a Caesar salad (I asked for anchovies with the salad), a half-dozen oysters and the crab bisque. The oysters. The oysters themselves were really good. However, a large dollop of melon sorbet lay on each oyster, which did not complement the oyster at all. The sorbet was bland, with the melon flavor hardly coming through, so it was more like green ice tossed on top of the oyster. In the end we were scraping the sorbet off and were both wishing there was lemon slices, or some spicy pepper to go with the now plain oyster. I would not recommend these, if the melon sorbet is still served with this appetizer. The salad and bisque were okay, but both nothing to write home about. In the end I would say come here for drinks and the view, then head elsewhere for food options. read more

Went to the Crow's Nest tonight. Very nice atmosphere, the staff were professional. The winelist is extensive (overwhelming). The food was good. Not great. More seasoning would do wonders. The issue was meal timing. Appetizers came out plates were cleared and 50 minutes later the meals came out. Just a few ticks too many. There are much better in Anchorage. read more

Unfortunately closed for month of January 2023, I stopped by to hit the bar for appetizers and drinks and was sad to change my plans. I went in November to meet up with friend, super bougie, great wait staff, and talented bartenders. Their staff and top notch service along with professionals and classy customers make going to dinner or just stopping in for drinks feel like a special event! Food is wonderful, atmosphere of restaurant is perfect and view is beautiful in the evenings. If I was going to elaborately fake a pregnancy to get an engagement ring...I'd plan to say "yes" at during the dessert course here! Of course then I'd be super disappointed not to try the skillfully prepared drinks! read more

How I wound up in this restaurant as opposed to the one I was supposed to use is of some interest. We go to our assigned eatery and were told our reservations could not be honored as there was a kitchen fire. Was told the Crow's Nest would honor our meal vouchers. We were not scheduled to have fine dinning but once here I immediately knew I was in for a 5 star meal. From the fantastic views of Anchorage Alaska to the ambiance of the room just gave a great vibe. From the oysters to the final bite of steak everything was awesome. I would love to give a big thank you to our server who was handling a private party and our table. She was amazing. The private party had 15 people with 15 separate checks!! Before we were ready to leave she told us she had to settle up with the 15 people and it would take awhile. Not really that long of a wait and then she gave us her undivided attention. The pictures in this review will suffice for the proof of quality of the food. read more

Our server came across as very condescending and made us feel bad several times during the course of our meal. Was I dressed too casually? Should we have ordered a bottle of wine instead of beers? The two of us spent $350+ on crab, all the sides, and dessert, and our server was negative and distant throughout. Unfortunately that's what I remember more than the food, which was excellent. Perhaps it began when we were seated at 8:30 and as we asked questions about the menu, she rolled her eyes, looked at her watch, and said she needed to have our orders in to the kitchen by 8:50. This wasn't just crisp and professional, it was cold and disdainful. Over 20 years, my husband and I have dined out about three times a week and are open to all kinds of cuisine, dining experiences, levels of service, and people! Only once has he said to me, "I just don't like our server!" and it was here at the gorgeous Crow's Nest. read more

It is our first-time visiting Anchorage, AK. We selected Crow's Nest Restaurant on top of the Capitan Cook Hotel on the early evening of August 24th, 2022. The view was stunning. Unfortunately, the food was far below average. I had one of the worst dining experiences in a new city that I have visited worldwide. Besides the drinks, we ordered two appetizers: bone mellow and oysters. The oysters were delicious and fresh, and we enjoyed the dish. The bone mellow was far too salty, but it was compensated by a good toast coming with the bone mellow. So, this appetizer was not unacceptable. What was most unexpected in this highly Located restaurant was the entree, "HALIBUT with PURPLE POTATO I SMOKED APRICOT | PEA COULIS". When the waitress brought my entree, I thought it was a fried flounder tail. (See photo). Tasting it, I found the halibut was dry, bland, and had no flavor. The smoked apricot and pea coulis were miserly decorated on the plate for viewing but not for eating because they were too minor in quantity to be adding any flavor to the fish. (See photo). The mashed purple potatoes had a strange taste, not pleasant either! I could not believe this $46 dish could taste so bad. I let my family member try my plate, and who could not agree more! The lady across the aisle from our table ordered the same halibut dish. Her halibut was a nicely thick-cut piece of halibut. A few minutes later, a waiter set the food cart next to me, carrying each dish from the cart to the big party in the end room a few feet from us. One of the dishes on the food cart was the same halibut dish. The halibut dish on the food cart was the same as the lady across from me ordered. Both their halibut dishes looked great, unlike a fried flounder tailpiece with some dots of green and orange colorings on my dish. I suddenly realized I was the only Asian in this high-end restaurant then. I got my "special treatment." Crow's Nest Chef Cameron Richardson and his kitchen had given a "special halibut dish" to me, the only Asian diner at that time. (The dessert was another story.) I left the halibut dish unfinished there. The restaurant manager must feel embarrassed by the chef's halibut dish for me. He offered to take the dish out of the bill. I appreciated him greatly. But that did not change my experience. I was ready to pay for that halibut dish to enjoy it. I did not. I had one of the worst-tasted meals in Crow's Nest Restaurant on top of Captain Cook's Hotel in Anchorage, AK. I hope your Halibut entrée tastes better next time if you are Asian dining in this high-end restaurant. Special notes: This is my first food experience review. My experience on August 24th, 2022, at Crow's Nest over Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage, Ak. was too special not to talk about it. Also, to ascertain my conclusion was correct, I further researched Google reviews and took a screenshot of the same dish from the same restaurant not long before. Please compare the two pictures, and you can see the significant differences. Now you can conclude why my halibut dish ordered at Crow's Nest over Capitan Cook Hotel tasted so bad. On a side note, I was wondering if I should return the $800 artwork I bought from the art studio in the Capital Cook Hotel's lobby. I decide not. Not all the people in Capital Cook's Hotel have the same mentality as Chef Cameron Richardson and his kitchen do. read more
