Date of visit: July 19, 2025…read more We stopped at the restaurant here as part of a cruise excursion that took us around Ketchikan. This meal was a bit of a mixed bag, though more about presentation and delivery than about food. Our group was met outside by the food and beverage manager, who looked very proud of himself and his position. He welcomed us but then went into a lecture about how the seating will be arranged and not to get lost after the meal going to look at their waterfall because people have gotten lost in the past... The seating was a cluster. F&B Man started yelling out, "Do I have a party of 9?" If no takers, he then went down to the next number and so on until we got a winner and that's how we were seated. Now obviously I am not a professional seater or restaurant host, but given that this excursion was signed up for quite some time ago and the bus driver contacted the restaurant earlier in the day to advise of the number of kids meals and food allergy/sensitivity guests they would have, couldn't they also ask the driver to provide the number of guests and how many in each party? Our friend doesn't do seafood and he shared that with the bus driver. He was served a bacon cheeseburger; no inquiry about if he ate beef and/or pork, or how he would want it prepared... Thankfully he said it was great! At any rate, we all got seated like good little cattle and were served their Taste of Alaska; halibut with lemon, crab cake, salmon and some rice. I thought everything was quite good, though the salmon was a bit on the drier side. Dessert was a berry cobbler that was nothing to write home about--could have used some ice cream to pep it up a bit.

This review is for the Salmon Falls Restaurant. We came for dinner with locals…read more The resort itself is gorgeous. The restaurant is classy and looks exactly like an Alaskan lodge should look--with huge picture windows looking out onto the Tongas Narrows. The atmosphere is spot on. The menu seems extremely limited. We were there the first week in September so maybe they were cutting down the menu in view of the seasonal closing coming soon. I had a Ribeye which was $60+ and was kinda average. Very fatty, even for a ribeye. The sides (whipped potatoes and carrots) were good, but kind of skimpy. My wife wound up sending back her tomato soup which had some undercooked chickpeas. The good was good, but we were not wowed. Maybe it was just a bad night late in the season. I know that our local friends consider this to be one of the nicest restaurants in Ketchikan. I would try it again next year.

An Amazing Ketchikan Experience!…read more We had an absolutely wonderful experience with 5 Star Tours in Ketchikan! Teddy was our guide, and he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the area. He made the entire excursion interesting and fun. One of the highlights was learning about how salmon are at the center of the entire ecosystem and how important they are to the wildlife and environment. We were also fortunate enough to see bears and visit the totem poles, which made the experience even more special. Even though we had a rainy day, Teddy made the absolute most of it. We never felt like the weather took away from the experience. Instead, we came away with some amazing photos, great memories, and an experience we'll remember for the rest of our lives. If you're visiting Ketchikan, I highly recommend 5 Star Tours -- and especially Teddy as your guide! 5 stars all the way!

Lots of history on the City tour. Great tour with with 5 Star. Would tour with them again !read more

Worman Sportfishing is great! Kyle is knowledgeable and worked really hard to make our trip…read moreamazing. It's fishing and you can't control if you catch or not but I'm sure Kyle put us in the best position to catch fish. Also he's a cool guy and that's important considering you're on a boat with him all day. The longer Story: We went out with Kyle for two days 7/31 -8/1/17. We got lucky with phenomenal weather (75 and clear) and great fishing conditions. On a full day charter you can go further out to try spots only other full day charters/commercial boats use. Going further out means you'll be travelling awhile, and we had a good time exchanging stories and chatting. I was one of the assholes who figured "It's Alaska, throw a rock and you hit five fish" but after actually fishing up there, it's still fishing. Sometimes you have bites, but most of the time your'e chasing fish. With a captain like Kyle you get to be in the best position to catch fish. He was knowledgeable about where to go, what to do, and how to do it. Our group ranged from experienced fisherman who've been to Alaska and crappy new guys (me). Kyle was good about giving us the information we needed. We found out how not to hurt or kill each other/ourselves. And also catch fish. Our group enjoyed our trip so much our discussions aren't if we want to go back, but when. Since you might want to know, The first day we got our max for Silver Salmon but had a rougher go with Halibut and Rockfish. The second day was the opposite and we had a rough go with the Salmon but maxed rockfish and Halibut. We flew home with a nice blend of fish.

However, the shore excursion was very disappointed due to raining, basically the shuttle bus dropped visitors off at the visitor center and let guests go for a walk to see glaciers, but most tour people decided to stay at the visitor center to avoid a slippery through walking. It is better to stay on the ship to view the scenes. Tip: You may avoid visiting Alaska in September due to a bad whether, or you can't see any glaciers during the 7-day cruise, e.g., the captain decided to forgo the scenary route due to a bad whether, which resulted most cruisers not see any glaciers during the entire cruise period.
