I will review the entire service, but want to point out early that when the dessert menu was offered I asked the waiter if she was getting a cupcake or anything with a candle. The waiter responded with, "Not if she doesn't buy a dessert..." I was surprised since the person taking the reservation specifically asked if we were celebrating an event. Stalk is presumably a nicer restaurant, but there was not a single element to the table indicating a celebration. Some places will use shiny table scatter or glitter, perhaps a sign to help the special guest enjoy the event. But at Stalk? Nothing. So disappointing... I will talk food in my next review...it was 'okay'...not amazing. A few standouts were the halibut, the scallops and the goat cheese appetizer.

The bread was delicious. They had king salmon on the menu so I had to get it. It was fresh and had a great taste. My wife had the roasted chicken Dijon. She said the chicken was moist and had a good flavor. Our waiter was attentive and the place had a great view of the bay.

There was a mix-up with our order--my husband ordered the porterhouse and I ordered the Cajun ribeye, but we ended up with two porterhouses. I'm a serious steak person (we literally buy beef from local ranchers ), so I definitely have opinions when it comes to steak. Mine was also closer to medium-well than the medium-rare I ordered. That said, the porterhouse was still good, even if it wasn't what I originally wanted. The drinks were great, and the wine selection really impressed me. They had several wines I rarely see offered at steakhouses, which was a big plus. What really saved the experience was the service. Our server immediately owned the mistake, the cook came out personally to apologize, and another employee was incredibly kind and brought me Cajun seasoning on the side. They even offered us a complimentary dessert. I chose the cheesecake and unfortunately... probably the driest cheesecake I've ever had. Definitely not my favorite. Even with the order mix-up and overcooked steak, I'd come back. Mistakes happen, and I really appreciated how the staff handled everything. Good steak, great drinks, an impressive wine selection, and genuinely nice employees. Next time I'm getting that Cajun ribeye!

First time trying this place; will not come back! Had a 4:15pm reservation, got seated, and it took…read morewell over 15min for anyone to come around to take our drink order. In addition to that, took about an hour for our salads and appetizers to come out. The waiter was beyond slow, and kept telling us how awful his 1st week had been and how the restaurant had run out of most of the food menu and some drinks. We had to ask for water (twice) because he kept getting sidetracked (mind you, there were probably about 2 other groups on the restaurant side). The steaks were overcooked and didn't have much flavor. Honestly, the sides were probably the only decent part of the meal (almost another 50min after salads). By this time; patience was running thin all around. When asked where their bathrooms were located; the woman (presumably a manager of some sort) proceeds to tell us about having 3 restrooms in the restaurant and how one had a hole in the wall because someone punched a hole in it (because it was Father's Day)?! and she just did her best to cover it with a piece of paper because she's not a contractor, what the heck does my knowing any of that useless information have to do with where the bathroom was located? (Still wondering...) We were definitely not impressed with this place; we asked for our desserts "to go" and they still got our order wrong. Oh- and apparently everyone else was offered bread as they waited, yet my group was not. Definitely, do not recommended, unless you're not hungry and have 1/2 a day to waste. Save your time and money; go someplace else!

This restaurant is light-years ahead of its predecessor, when it was only a hotel buffet. Most of…read moreour experiences have been good. But do NOT order the shrimp and scallop pasta. Even though I specifically asked for al dente, and also stressed to the waitress I'd rather the pasta is undercooked than overcooked, it came out like the typical American restaurant pasta mush that dissolves in your mouth. You should be able to bite into pasta, not feel it dissolve on your tongue - besides the fact overcooked pasta has a higher glycemic index, which contributes to overeating and weight gain, and is therefore less healthy. Additionally, it was not "topped" with sauce, but rather it looked like pasta soup. And there shouldn't be so much cheese in pasta sauce that it forms strings when you raise your fork to your mouth. Way too much Parmesan cheese, so it masked the other flavors that should have been there. Since the sauce flavor was ok (but not spectacular since the primary overwhelming flavor was the Parmesan) we boxed the rest of the sauce after I attempted to finish my overcooked and texture deficient pasta. A couple nights later we cooked a full pound of pasta (correctly) at home and were able to eat four servings with the leftover sauce! So there was enough sauce in one dish for the equivalent of five people! That's just ridiculous. So our recommendation: 1) cook the pasta correctly, 2) reduce the cheese in the sauce, 3) reduce the sauce to 20% of what you currently serve - you can serve five times as many people with the same amount of sauce, and actually drop the price of this dish to something more reasonable, and you'll still come out ahead. That's our two cents from having dined in three dozen countries, all fifty states, and having even taken cooking lessons in Italy.

Wow, a friend wanted to go here and after see the reviews I was less than excited especially after…read morelooking at the prices. What an incredible surprise. 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!

I must give credit to this Brown Bear Saloon and Hotel. Although I was just here for one evening to…read morerest my head before officially driving famed Seward Highway...it really was the ideal place to stay. Brown Bear Saloon and Hotel is a rustic and cozy wooden lodge situated right off Seward Highway. It specifically sits 25 miles south of downtown Anchorage and 100 miles north of the town of Seward. In fact, the address for Brown Bear states that it's situated in the town of Indian, Alaska. I've never heard of Indian, AK...but basically if you need a place to stay in and around Seward Highway, this Brown Bear Lodge is accommodative. What was even more terrific about staying here was that the location felt far away from the hustle and bustle of Anchorage. The hotel views look out upon the scenic Turnagain Arm waters with the snow-capped Kenai mountains standing tall in the distance. Even though Brown Bear is located right off a very busy section of Seward Highway, I genuinely felt like I was staying in the heart of nature. And btw...when I did visit and spend the night here, unfortunately there was a lot of construction going on beside the highway. So here it is, Brown Bear Saloon and Lodge...a prime spot for those getting ready to start and or continue their Seward Highway journeys. Well, one thing...when I woke up in the morning, I actually had to backtrack a little up north on Seward Highway for about 15 miles. Yeah so, I take that back, the lodge isn't really the start of Seward Highway. But I traveled back north for 15 miles to the Potter Marsh Boardwalk where I explored for a little before returning back on Seward Highway for the 115-mile trek south. Basically...this Brown Bear Lodge and Saloon was much better than grabbing some random hotel in downtown Anchorage. It had personality and charm. What was surprisingly amazing about my stay was the price! Throughout my 3-week voyage around Alaska, Brown Bear had the cheapest rate by far! It was $67 (with taxes and fees included) for a room I had on the 2nd floor just above the restaurant. I mean, $67...can it get any cheaper for a place to stay right along iconic Seward Highway at the start of summer travel season? Lol, I don't think so. Although my room would be standard for most tourists...for me it really stood out with a lot of great amenities. It had a walk-in glass door shower (not just a tub with a curtain), very comfortable towels to dry off afterwards. And here me...I don't think I'd ever recall thinking about towels making a difference during my stay, but they really were fluffy and comfortable. Lol, maybe they were brand new? The room also had a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee pot, good sink area and a giant mirror with good lighting. Btw...I checked-in, inside the restaurant. Then I was given a key and shown the stairway to the 2nd floor. Too bad I had already eaten in Anchorage prior to arriving here because the restaurant looked very interesting...like a casual blue-collar spot to grab a good old-fashioned burger and fries...or simply just your typical all-American type of fair. Point is...the restaurant appeared accommodating for those spending the night as you can just have a hearty meal and then return to your room. Some extras about the restaurant...it resembled a bar/pub with a colorfully fun atmosphere. They had high top tables and chairs...a huge selections of beers on-tap. I believe I saw a billiards table to play and plenty of televisions to watch sports. I'd recommend eating here if you didn't catch a bite back in Anchorage. Overall, I'm happy I discovered Brown Bear Saloon and Hotel. I found it on Priceline. I couldn't have asked for a better one-night stay after all the traveling I had done prior to arriving here. This place is definitely emblematic of your off the beaten path motel/lodge sitting right in the cross section for traveling to all parts of southern Alaska.
