    Halibut and ribeye
    Kat O.

    Have been here several times, absolutely love the halibut. Tonight Corinna (our favorite server) suggested dirty chicken alfredo. I will definitely order that again! We also had the chicken fried chicken, which was also very delicious! Their mocktails and ice tea are great thirst-quenchers, and really, great service! Favorites are steak and halibut, but we were feeling like trying something new, and Corinna's suggestions were spot-on!

    Eggs Benedict, add tomato

    We stopped in for brunch midweek, and we're only 1 of 2 tables. It's described as an upscale diner, and that fits the bill perfectly. We had great iced mochas, and ordered the fried chicken brunch bowl (chicken, gravy, eggs, truffle potatoes), and the eggs Benedict with tomato and truffle potatoes. It feels a little pricey but the portions are large and the food was really well done. Service was quick and we were on our way as soon as we'd finished our food.

    Dinner menu

    I dined here April 2022 a few months into their opening, and was less than impressed. At that time I said I would come back to dine for their brunch/lunch menu. As their "fine dining" dinner menu was like ordering fine dining from Wish. WELP today was the day I came back to try to see if the lunch menu could redeem this place. I was optimistic about this meal because the photos of the brunch/lunch menu that I saw on their website looked very nice. They have smartly rebranded themselves as a "wine & coffee house" on their website, and dropped the fine dining label. This was definitely necessary because the only thing of fine dining caliber were the prices. Sadly I cannot say that my meal this afternoon was any better than my first experience. I really am shocked to see so many 5 & 4 star reviews. Prices for lunch are still pretty high for the value, but much better than dinner. If you compare the menu prices online to the ones on the dine in menu you will see though that they did drop the pricing so it seems like they at least take feedback to heart. We were a party of 3 adults & 2 kids. I ordered a yuzu mimosa ($11), which was quite citrusy & refreshing. My friend got the grapefruit & honey mimosa ($11), which she said was very good. They have quite the fun beer & wine based cocktail menu as well as a variety of mimosas. The cocktails were a nice start, but the food definitely fell flat. I ordered green chili bison sliders for $19, but on the website they're listed at $24. If I paid $24 for these sliders I'd be pissed. They were tiny, and essentially flavorless. The patty wasn't seasoned well, and they were overcooked. I didn't taste the green chilies at all. I used the garlic aioli from my son's classic burger to help flavor them. They do not have a kid's menu, but I've created a mini foodie with my 4 year old so I ordered him the classic cheeseburger ($19). I didn't get a bun, lettuce, tomato or onion as he likes to just eat the cheeseburger with a fork. This was a smash burger, and it was probably around 1/4 lb. My 4 year old ate the entire thing so I can imagine an adult wouldn't be too satisfied just having a burger. The lunch entrees all come with seasoned steak fries, which were very crispy and seasoned well. Meta & Rose certainly does a good steak fry. My 1 friend & I were sharing entrees. She ordered the hot chicken sandwich, and this was definitely the best thing on the table. It was sweet & a little spicy. The chicken was juicy, the breading was decent. This sandwich actually had flavor especially compared to the sliders. The only thing was the lettuce & tomato on it were wilted & sad. The food doesn't really look anything like the pictures, which reminds me of when you dine at fast food restaurants. Service this visit definitely was not great. I'm not sure if this server was new or just in over her head, but they need to work on training their staff. We were 1 of 3 tables when we ordered our food. By the time our food was coming out 3 other tables had joined, and 1 had left so we were 1 of 5 tables. Most of these tables were 2 tops. That is not busy for peak lunch hours in a small restaurant so understandably only 1 server was working. But some severs cannot handle working FOH on their own. My other friend, and her daughter ordered the grilled cheese as well as 1/2 order of biscuits & gravy. All the food except for the biscuits & gravy as well as 2 orders of fries (my fries for my sliders & my friend's for her grilled cheese) were dropped off at the table. We figured the rest would be coming shortly. The server never came back to check on us so after about 10 mins we finally flagged the server down to inquire about the biscuits & gravy (this item was for a 4 year old as well). I was a bartender & server for 10 years, and would probably still be working at the same restaurant if I hadn't moved to AK. I could tell she forgot to put the order in in by her reaction. She goes to the kitchen to check, and comes back out to tell us it will be ready in 5 minutes. Mistakes happen and that's understandable, but there was no apology, no even trying to blame it on a lost ticket, no acknowledgment that everyone else's food arrived over 15 minutes before the biscuits & gravy. Zero realization that we were also missing 2 orders of fries. There was no trying to rectify the situation by offering a free dessert or to take something off the check. Just really poor customer service. When it comes to dining at Meta & Rose it seems like you'll be playing roulette with your meal. Some food is decent, some food is bad. None of it seems to be outstanding. If you're interested in rolling the wheel and seeing what you'll get then give Meta & Rose a try. If you prefer consistency as well as food that tastes good take the time to drive to Palmer to get brunch at Feather & Flour. I think the only reason this place gets rated so high because it's the only restaurant of its kind in Wasilla.

    Meta Brie and pear salad

    We stopped in for brunch today and they were very accommodating for our last minute reservation for a party of 6. We had a very short wait as soon as we arrived and the table was perfect for us. We were not crowded and the seats were comfy. The restaurant is cute! I love the modern classy look and the ambiance is very welcoming. The staff is ok, the seating hostess seemed a bit bothered when we arrived but our waitress was amazing. They have quite an extensive wine and champagne options. Not a full bar but that's ok. They offer a great selection of coffee items, including a whole French press..that's cool. The menu is classy..I loved the variety and refined options that they offer. I ordered the beef Wellington and it was awesome!! I loved it. The potatoes served with it was pretty good (Cajun). Everyone enjoyed their meal. We ordered the eggs Benedict (no complaints), the burger was ordered and enjoyed, the pear salad was thoroughly enjoyed by my sister and my daughter loved the grill cheese. The food overall was perfect! Would we come back? Yes! Would we recommend this place? Of course! We had a great time and the food was just right!

    Best food in the entire Matsu Valley! Service was amazing: offered good recommendations, explanations of how food was prepared, history of restaurant and was incredibly attentive to our table needs! If you're looking for a great date night or simply a place to enjoy a quiet, mouth watering meal, this is the place. We had the filet and the halibut.....best food I've had in forever!! Try the pork belly appetizer and the mystery wine pour! Our server, Carina, made the entire experience share worthy! Please give this place a try! You won't be sorry.

    Very good Mocktails! I love the food and the atmosphere. I've come here twice now and have had a wonderful time each time. The service is wonderful and when they aren't too busy it is a lovely place to sit and have a nice dinner. I had the new Green Goddess pasta and it was amazing! I absolutely would recommend it!

    Biscuits and gravy. Dang good gravy!

    Our first time at Meta and Rose was for my sons birthday. We came for Sunday brunch and it was FANTASTIC. First off, I made the reservation the day before and they accommodated our party of 8 very well. The menu is amazing. So many delicious things. The restaurant is cute and very chic. We ordered our meals and the service was excellent. Our server brought us plates of small pastries (complimentary). They were delicious. Then he refilled drinks and brought us small bowls of soup (two varieties and also complimentary). Very yummy and very European. Then our entrees came and they were phenomenal. So much flavor. Service was great, the food was amazing. The bread is good, but the garlic butter is the star! We will be back!

    Meta & Rose Signature Salad Chicken, arugula, pear, spiced nuts, cheese, bacon
    T J.

    Started with the charcuterie board for an appetizer. De-light-ful. Ended with the signature salad, chocolate and raspberry dessert and a Riesling wine throughout. I had a new waitress. She was thorough and got answers immediately when I had questions. (I'd never been here.) The space has nice lighting. Warm and not too bright. I hid in the booth in the far back. The bill was almost $100. Pricey and worth it, all parts equal.

    My friends and sister stumbled upon this beautiful artistic restaurant. The staff was very friendly! We were seated immediately on a Friday afternoon. We did start off with two appetizers the first being a charcuterie board and the second being a Korean Pork Belly. The bread is complementary I am I was very good and the radishes perfectly seasoned to go on the bread. For dinner I've got the dirty chicken Alfredo and my friends and God that truffle mushroom pasta and the Lamb lollipops. Between the atmosphere and the food we would highly recommend ! Portions are perfect for what you pay for and the flavor is amazing !

    I've been here enough times and at different times to be able to say with 100% confidence that the food here is GOOD. If you want flavor, you got it! My favorite appetizer is the Korean pork belly. It's easy to pull apart and the pickled veggies that come with it pairs flavors so well. My favorite entree is the lemon garlic halibut. I like substituting the potatoes for their risotto (thank me later) and whatever that cream sauce is has me in a chokehold!!!

    French Wellington with Steak & Ale Soup
    Feather L.

    So excited to have a new favorite and much needed restaurant in the valley! We've been twice for dinner and twice for lunch. All the food has been so delicious. The Creamy Truffle and Leek soup should be permanently on the menu! The Dijon & Herb Encrusted Lamb Lollipops and the Beef Tenderloin were very flavorful and cooked perfectly! The atmosphere is clean and quiet. The staff is friendly. We will be back again and again!

The interior design could use some work except the little fireplace nook they have is super cute. They had a Christmas tree that was only half lit and decorated which was weird. We got coffees; two sunrise sandwiches and the potato soup in a bread bowl. Both the sandwiches were very good! Definitely a great spot for them and with any of the bread choices, which there are MANY! I'll absolutely come back for them! The bread bowl is just white bread which was disappointing as I thought they'd have a sourdough option. The bread was super doughy inside as if the soup had been sitting in it for hours or it wasn't baked all the way through and it tasted like it was missing salt maybe. The soup was fine, nothing great but not bad. Similar to what you may buy canned at the grocery store. The coffee didn't come out until we were about ready to leave which I expected as it seemed they had barely 2-3 people working at one time. If they did more bread bowl options, experimented with the soup flavors more (or start making it homemade if they buy it commercially), and redecorated, I'd 100% give this place 5 stars. Regardless, great place for sandwiches and coffee and I'll totally be back!

Since I was too sick to really do anything, including go to the Yelp Elite event, he took pity on me and we went on a drive around the scenic valley. While we were cruising around we got hungry, so I utilized my Jersey Mike app to pre-order us some dinner, so all my husband had to do was pop in and pick it up. My husband tells me the shop is nicer and bigger than the one in Anchorage... what else is new. The Valley always gets bigger and better. Our sandwiches were made as expected with no errors. I order in Anchorage all the time and this one was exactly the same. I like that dependability. It helps that their cheesesteaks (not Philly- you Alaskan weirdos- I was born in Philly, Philly is a place not a fucking sandwich) are perfect. Since moving to Alaska from Jersey a decade and a half ago, I have been longing for a proper cheesesteak. This is as close as you are going to get, minus the stupid red peppers, which ABSOLUTELY MUST BE OMITTED. They do NOT belong on the sandwhich and ruin the entire flavor profile. Thankfully the app makes it very easy to modify your sandwich to your preferences. What I think is the true proof of the quality of the sandwich is if it needs condiments. This sub does not. I typically drown my cheesesteaks in ketchup. But this sandwich has the perfect balance of cheese and meat, and the meat had an excellent flavor with no gross chewy pieces. I have a really REALLY bad meat aversion, so bad that I was a vegetarian for 5.5 years, because I can't deal with tendons and miscellaneous meat appearances in my meal. But my love of cheesesteaks is literally what brought me back to carnivorous lifestyle. I'd die in a sword death for a proper cheesesteak. And Jersey Mike's has it going on.

We are going to stick with our local sub shop, Krazy Moose subs, which produces a far superior product. Have been going there for years and never had any problems. Fresh bread daily. Locally owned. No more franchise food for us! Update: Jersey Mike's replied to the above review and said they're "sorry." Then said they hoped we'd "come back in the future." Not a chance. Spent over $30 to get dried out puckered bread on not one but two sandwiches. Don't need any lame, insincere boilerplate 'apologies.' Our money goes elsewhere. Great job, people. Your Wasilla shop served dried out, puckered, stale bread instead of throwing it out and lost us as customers for life. Great business model. All to save a couple bucks on inventory. Way to go!
