My husband and I ordered the fish and chips to share and as you can see in the picture it was plenty for the two of us. The fish was halibut which is local to the area. You could tell it was fresh, well seasoned, and prepared nicely. The restaurant, located upstairs in a building not too far from the port bus stop, was busy though it looked like mostly tourists. Nonetheless, it was very tasty.

The most incredible spot, we came here twice in a row and wanted to visit again for a third dinner,…read morebut they were closed for the day. Let me tell you something....... THE YUZU MISO COD!!! WOW! Easily one of the best things I've ever eaten. Cooked to actual perfection, the most delicate and soft flakes, infused with (not overly sweet) glaze. I'm like daydreaming just thinking about it. Every bite. I was floored. Even by the last few bites, I was still so impressed, it might as well have been the first. And that broccolini had phenomenal flavor/texture. Oh, and the savory butter board focaccia has ruined all other bread/butter for me. I fear I'll never be the same. On par with the food, Beak is community-driven, centering people, values, and quality, locally sourced ingredients. It was awesome to see where the main dishes were sourced from, right there on the menu (all Alaskan groups or local Sitka cooperatives!). My gosh, it makes a difference, and each bite is even more special. If you have a moment, I'd really encourage checking out their website and reading through the 'About' section. You'll fall even more head-over-heels in love with this place. Beak is the model for the future we need. Each staff member we interacted with was 10/10 stellar. They were beaming when talking about the owner/chef and how much they loved working there. Beak is gratuity-free (non-tipping), and any place that pays its staff a living wage gets extra points in my book! Any tips go to staff-selected charities/causes in the area. I'll argue with anyone: the pricing is awesome. Like.. actually take a second and think about it: - LOCAL ingredients.. that means great quality, AND you're supporting local communities (and they're *locally-run* ones too, I really can't emphasize this enough... **especially** if you're coming here as a tourist, you better be actively trying to find ways to support the community) - Gratuity-free/included in pricing!! - And, oh yeah, it's like the best bite of food I've had in my life. We don't even need to compare on relativity because Beak speaks for itself, but if you really want to go there -- live in any other coastal city, and you'll realize that it's a steal. Like it's actually bonkers. No one's doing this. I doubt anyone reads this far on a Yelp review, but even if I'm shouting into the void, it'll be in praise for Beak. Someone call the tire man, Chef Renee deserves her star!

So dang good, we came back again for lunch before heading to the airport. On the first go around,…read morewe had both White and Red King salmon, and both were exceptional. It was our first time for white king salmon for both of us. We split a massaged kale salad, and I have to say I am not the biggest fan of kale, but this "tasted like Christmas". Very enjoyable. As if that were not enough, and it normally would have been, it was also strongly suggested that we get a cup of the creamy house salmon chowder. That one was perfection. I would probably eat her once, if not twice, a week if I lived in Sitka. On the second time around, we brought a friend who also fell in love with the food and vibe. I tried the duck fat & huckleberry dessert. I love duck fat in general, so I expected it to be very good, and it was even better than that. I believe it was a version of Akutaq. They also served the version with vegetable fat. I deeply enjoyed mine. I will definitely come back here should I make it back to Sitka again.

This was one of the local bars we were taken to on our Alaskan cruise excursion…read more This bar is a fisherman's bar and you can tell by the vibes that it really does give off that fisherman's vibe. There are plenty of windows that brings that outside natural light so this is not your dark and gloomy dive bar. There are also tons of pictures of many of the Fishermen who have came to visit this bar. There is a cool tradition here that if you ring the big bell that they have you have to buy everyone in that drink a bar. Cool enough one of the people in our tour rang the bell and it was exciting to see. You are then given a rain check token that you can save for your next visit or use right there and then. We used one and kept one as a souvenir. Also there is a liquor store connected to the bar where I'm sure locals come to stock up on their alcohol and tobacco. Overall it was a nice spot that really does feel like this is a locals only/fisherman's bar.

Discover is an accepted form of payment. While looking over the menu, I sipped on a glass of Pinot Grigio for $9. My daughter had a Mean Queen Ice Tea for $7. Our table shared the Fried Cheese Curds for $11 and Ghosted Wings (qty 10) for $19. My daughter and I ordered an Oyster Shooter for $3.50 each. The mignonette was missing. We also ordered an Oyster Shooter for $8.50 which was served alongside a shot of tomato juice. We're from Washington and our oysters are served with pizazz. The oysters we received were lackluster and it didn't help that the mignonette was missing. I should have read the room better and ordered pizza like all the other patrons were doing. Service was disjointed. Overall, our stop into Mean Queen was quite disappointing.
