    Kincaid Grill, despite its inauspicious location, is a wonderful place to have dinner in Anchorage. This go around I had the salmon special as well as the special potato leek soup, both of which were delicious. While I wish they could serve cocktails, there are minimal other flaws I can find with Kincaid Grill despite my multiple visits. I would recommend this to anyone in Anchorage looking for a great place to eat and try some delectable seafood!

    What can I say, this place is perfect. Attention to detail and attention to service. The white glove treatment! The servers, busser, and everyone just made sure that you had a very polished dinner service. Wanted to get the salmon but it's seasonal so was not available, so opted for the Alaskan scallops. It was absolutely delicious and perfect. The baked Alaskan oysters were good too but was somewhat bitter. I would recommend anyone to come try this if visiting!

    Every time I dine at this restaurant I always wonder why I don't eat here more often. I don't live in Anchorage but Chugiak isn't that far away! The ambience is very chill and inviting, the food is unbelievably excellent and always delicious, and the staff are knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. This occasion was a birthday celebration for me hosted by a dear friend, and I was so blessed to have the opportunity. My compliments to everyone at the restaurant for the high standards and excellent cuisine.

    Nestled in a shopping mall, this spot left me wondering if it could be so nice, but little did I know that when you step in you're in another world, parking spots disappear and you just see a nice restaurant. The food was perfectly done and the staff was very helpful in guiding us through ordering. Everything we tried was yummy and we had a cute date night birthday dinner here. The only thing I recall was that the food could have come out sooner, but maybe they were trying to let us savor every moment.

    What an absolutely amazing place to eat! Every time we're up in Anchorage, stopping by Kincaid Grill is a must for us. This restaurant perfectly captures everything you want in a fine dining experience -- exceptional food, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere -- but without those intimidating fine dining prices. It really feels like you're getting top-quality food without breaking the bank. The staff here are some of the friendliest and most welcoming people you'll meet. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with genuine warmth and professionalism. We had the pleasure of sitting at the Chef's Table, which is a really special experience. It's a quiet, intimate room right inside the kitchen, so you get a unique behind-the-scenes vibe while enjoying your meal. It's perfect for a date night or a small family gathering when you want something a bit more private. The food is consistently excellent every single time we visit. The menu has a great variety, and the portions are generous -- definitely not those tiny plates you sometimes get at other places. Whether it's seafood, steak, or one of their seasonal specials, everything is prepared with care and bursting with flavor. You can tell the chefs put a lot of pride into their work. If you're visiting Anchorage or even if you're local, do yourself a favor and make a reservation here. It's the kind of place you want to bring your whole family to share a memorable meal. Kincaid Grill has quickly become one of our favorite spots, and we look forward to every visit. Highly recommend!

    It was an amazing night! Almost everyone there was celebrating an anniversary and yet we felt like the star of the evening. We were there on 8/14/26 celebrating 42 years. We had the chef's choice 5 course meal. The only thing missing from my pictures was the incredible Caesar salad that was gone before we thought of a picture. A most memorable night with great company. Thank you!!!

    We celebrated 42 years together last night and just about every table was celebrating anniversary's as well so good company. We had the chef's choice, 5 course meal. It was the best time, spent a little over an hour. Gonna post pics, it was all good, every last bite.

    We are visiting and we're lucky to be able to snag a reservation. Kim on the phone was very helpful and accommodating. This place is located on strip mall with plenty of parking. It is cozy am since with friendly staff to check your coat. We were sat in the main dining room and went for the wine pairing for the 5 course meal for valentines. The food was all delicious! The bisque was creamy but not too rich with the scallop cooked to perfection. The fish was crunchy on the outside and very tender inside. It was amazing! The duck was cooked perfectly medium rare and it was crispy on the outside and very tasty. The goat cheese fritter was really good! The filet mignon was also perfectly cooked. I'm not usually a fan of raspberries but I finished my dessert! Overall, everything we had was delicious! We did miss having bread... we saw some tables get it but we were never offered. The wine pairings went perfectly with each meal. The portion sizes were bigger than what we expected for a tasting 5 course meal. I would highly recommend this place if you are in town.

    Scallop special with spaghetti squash puree
    Tara E.

    Service, as always, was divine. I love this team!!! They always feel like friends. Historically, every time I have dined at Kincaid the food has also been top notch. We may have caught them on an off night. We went for the NYE prix fix menu. We had high hopes because the online menu looked amazing. The crab bisque appeared to be tomato based, which would be unusual for a bisque--but the consistency and texture was on point. What we were lacking was any sort of big crab flavor. There was an arincini ball for some much needed texture, but the lemon oil added no brightness or acidity. Overall--puréed veggie soup. I was excited for the scallops because one of my favorite scallop dishes ever is at Kincaid. The scallops were cooked perfectly. They always are! However, a sweet scallop on top of a sweet spaghetti squash puree, sweet red peppers, and sweet balsalmic jam? Sweet and soft. There was a kalamata crumble but it didn't impart flavor. I skipped all the accoutrements and ate the scallops. I'm not a fish person, so the cod on the white cheddar risotto was going to be a pass for me--but my husband said the fish was perfectly cooked. That was his favorite course of the night. He was wishing for some acidity to brighten up the buttery cod. The filet was, again, perfectly cooked. However, it came on a celery root puree without much flavor, and had a 1/4 inch disc of white truffle butter on top. That might have been okay had the steak been warm enough to eventually melt the butter, but that was definitely not the case. We both ended up with these unappetizing piles of scraped aside butter and celery root on the plates that we were picking around. The chocolate bourbon soufflé was good--super sweet. I love a dessert and I couldn't finish it. It was also screaming for something sour, like a tart raspberry drizzle, to cut some of that sweetness. All in all.....the entire meal was soft and sweet. My future visits will be for the menu staples.

    Do yourself a favor and enjoy a QUALITY meal while visiting Alaska. I plan to return if we get a chance b4 headed back to NC. The service and food was phenomenal. My favorite restaurant outside Las Vegas world class quality.

    Crème brulee
    Melissa C.

    It is located in a small, strip mall not far from the airport. I was greeted quickly and politely by the hostess and I chose to sit at the bar and eat as I was dining alone. My server was spot on and gave great recommendations! I highly recommend the Halibut. If you don't see it on the menu ask...it doesn't disappoint!! It comes with fennel-soubise on a bed of potato-chive croquette and asparagus. It has a garlic-pecan crib that was so delicious and it was cooked perfectly-delicious!! I finished my meal with some creme brulee that was out of this world. I hope to make it back to Anchorage and if I do this will be visited again!! It's a fabulous place to take someone for an impressive dinner!!

    Ask the Community - Kincaid Grill

    Is there a dress code? Or would Jean's and a button up suffice?

    That would work perfectly. I went wearing fleece sweat pants with a novelty shirt and clunky snow boots. Couple behind me were dressed casually. Another in "date night" attire. Enjoy your meal!

    Do they sell gift cards? My son lives in Anchorage and I would love to send him there.

    Best to check with Kincaid directly or ask your son to reserve and provide restaurant with your credit card on date of reservation. I have done that.

Orso was one of the few nicer restaurants in Anchorage that was open on a Sunday so we headed there after a very long day out at Seward. We arrived around 7:30pm. It wasn't super busy so we were seated immediately. Our server suggested some drink options based on what we liked (me: gin; my husband: bourbon). They were very good. We got the calamari appetizer - I loved the artichokes and thin lemon slices added in, plus both fried and fresh calamari in the dish. I got the Parmesan crusted halibut and my husband ordered the halibut with diavolo pasta. Both were very good. My dish came with asparagus and mushroom risotto; the risotto was pretty salty but still good. The fish was cooked well and I enjoyed it.

That small detail meant so much and earned them even MORE brownie points with me. The food, the flavor, the service, the hospitality--10/10 across the board. The PERFECT way to end my Alaska birthday adventure. I'll definitely be back whenever Anchorage brings me this way again!
