Halibut n chips, cup o' chowder, shrimp cocktail
Chrys K.

Our cruise ship stopped in Haines due to adverse weather conditions that didn't allow us to stop in Skagway. Although it was raining and windy we got off the cruise ship and walked about 15 minutes to this restaurant located adjacent to a small boat harbor. I was surprised more cruise ship passengers didn't stop in here to experience this adorable little slice of old west Americana. We arrived soaking wet and were thankful to have a nice quiet, toasty and warm space nearly all to ourselves. Here's a few things we loved: Views: unobstructed view with small boats, and great view of the cruise ship in port that dwarfed everything else in the area. Peace and Tranquility: after being on the endlessly noisy cruise ship it was almost jarringly quiet in here with the soft rain and gray clouds outside we enjoyed the fact we were about the only patrons in here and could have a nice conversation over a cup of coffee without yelling to hear each other and no constant clanking of dishes. Service: prompt, courteous, super nice polite waitress. All our food came out quickly, hot and exactly as ordered. Food: we ordered the halibut n chips, chowder and shrimp. The halibut was fresh, and perfectly breaded, with a light beer type batter, crispy on outside and juicy on inside. Tartar sauce was on point! Fries/chips were as expected. Chowder was rich and had good flavor also. Shrimp cocktail as expected. Of course the halibut was the star of the show as expected. Do yourself a favor, when in Alaska you must always order whatever fresh local fish they have no matter what! Beer: we had the Alaska White beers on tap and they paired quite well with the fried halibut! Overall we loved this place, primarily for the quiet ambience, and super fresh halibut. If we ever get back to Haines we want to come back to this restaraunt for sure, and would love to try the attached bar and pool table room which looks quite cozy but was closed at the time we visited. Looks very "Wild West" cozy with great Alaska beer selections as well!

Food was delicious, the lady who served us was very nice. Overall, don't judge a book by its cover, it might be a great restaurant!

Blackened halibut sandwich

Awesome lunch! Had the blackened halibut sandwiches, Lingcod fish and chips and a Lynn Canal burger- service was awesome and the restaurant has been part of the Haines community for decades! The bar is a true piece of history! If you are in Haines this is a must! Stop, grab a beer or drink and some fresh seafood or awesome burgers!

OMG, where to begin. My family and I visited Skagway today and discovered the greatest restaurant…read morepossibly in the entire state! We weren't there for a typical meal, we did a culinary and Alaskan gardening class. These two things happen to be my all time favorite pass times. I learned so much from nearly every staff member I came into contact with. Their pastry chef taught us so much about bread making and the science behind it and was incredibly knowledgeable. The in house gardener (yes they have one of those!) grows ingredients on site to help supplement food costs and she taught us so much about how climate impacts the plants she grows. (Their rhubarb was gigantic) everything we ate was off the charts amazing! If I had to give a negative comment it would be that the manager seemed inconvenienced by the guests and made sure to tell us that we were keeping him from his busy day, but to be fair he said he isn't usually the one who gives guest presentations so I have to give him props for doing it even when he clearly had other things to do. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE if you find yourself in Skagway, but get there early because space is limited. 11/10 Great job!!!

Olivia's Bistro is a doubly wonderful establishment. They have a free standing restaurant that is…read morenext to a nice outdoor dining area for their Reindeer Hotdog food truck. We were walking around the town and saw their sign for a Reindeer Ruben that caught our interest. There was only a small line to order which was good because we were not sure if the hotdog was going to be a meal or a snack. The portion size was average so we decided to share one as a snack. They also had the option to have it as a Chili Dog instead. The service was very friendly and our food was prepared pretty quickly. The Reindeer Hotdog was served in a french bread roll that was a little bigger than the dog but it held all the ingredients in it just fine. I liked the crunch of the hot dog skin and the cabbage slaw on top was fresh. I didn't notice the cheese at first and it was a very thin slice. The sauce on top was a ketchup mayo mix like on a regular Ruben sandwich. The flavors were good and the hotdog was hot. Next time I will have to try their main sit down restaurant.
