As we do every year, we celebrate our wedding anniversaries in various cities around AK. This year…read morewas Girdwood and Homer. Heading down to Homer we stopped in Girdwood for the night. Due to the crush of guests, we couldn't get a table so we opted for take-out. We took a chance on the Bibimap (sp?). It was an appropriate dish for an at home meal, but without the heated bowl it comes in. On the way back from Homer we stopped again in Girdwood, this time with a reservation! Our server seated us in the romantic Garden Room", which we always opt for. This garden room is cozy, beautiful and the guests seated there have always been friendly and interesting. We all seem to treat that room like the proverbial "family" room! We started of with a tasting of a wine we wern't familiar with, and which I still can't remember its name! Our server (Blanca) was a true four star waitress. Intelligent, friendly, observant of our needs, and even those that we didn't know we needed! She took the time, even though the restaurant was packed, to clarify the menu, listen to our bragging about our 59th anniversary. She made the whole evening more joyful that we had even hoped it would be. We ordered the Filet Mignon, as per her Recommendation, and topped it with a bottle of Silver Oak. The meat, Blanca explained to us, was from a specific farm in the US. We've eaten lots of filets in lots of restaurants, but this one was right at the top of the heap. At our age this is "dangerous" as we could opt more often for the beef, than the healthier foods Jack Sprat has to offer. Dessert was the "simple" chocolate mouse. Yep, lieke everything else we ordered that night, it was an excellent topper off. We've had several meals over the years at Jack Sprats. We think, like the Silver Oak, they are getting better with age. Yep, we'lll be back, Jack!

We had a mixed experience at Jack Sprat…read more Service timing was rough. It took over an hour from ordering to get our main dishes. About 1.5 hours from when we were seated. We did get the dip bread appetizer about 15 minutes after ordering which helped. Then we waited another full hour after finishing it before our food arrived. The food was inconsistent. The chow fun noodles were undercooked. More like al dente pasta which does not work for a Chinese dish. The burgers came with fries that were cold and hard. They did fix that quickly and brought fresh fries which were much better. The wagyu burger was the biggest disappointment. The meat tasted very gamey. That is not what you expect from wagyu which should be rich and buttery. I ended up trying to cover the taste with toppings just to eat it. Not enjoyable. Our child did enjoy her grass fed beef burger and had no complaints. The atmosphere is great. Live music adds a nice touch. We also liked the shop next door and the outdoor wood fire. We like this place and wanted it to be a great experience. The food and timing just missed the mark this time. Hoping they improve because the setting is really nice.

They should remain a staple in Girdwood and WILL remain a staple in our hearts. Jodie provided amazing service throughout the night to our group of 9. Thank you, Jodie. Jodie's charm and care was a highlight not just of the night, but of our entire time in Alaska. Thank you for a delightful evening with memories to cherish. Ps. -The espresso crème brûlée was the smoothest, most delicate dessert I've had in years. We ordered all the desserts they had and not a single one of them missed the mark. -"Must dine at Spoonline. PERIOD" -a memory to last a lifetime. THANK YOU JODIE AND TEAM. It is not often that you bring together a large group of foodies who delight in every single dish that is brought out. Spoonline is a place that satisfies all pallets and warms our bellies and hearts.

Genuinely some of the best fried halibut in all of Alaska, better than anything you can find in Homer! Their steaks are also amazing! The peppercorn steak is pretty good, but the filet is out of this world, massive serving sizes too! Super amazing atmosphere tucked away down a logging road between several mountains, inside feels like a small hunting lodge! Expert great service but a long wait. Came here on a Wednesday night and waited nearly 4 hours at the bar for a table for my family. Was well worth it, best filet and halibut we've ever had. Even better than our own!

The Alaskan Wild Game burger was good. However, the Halibut Tacos was definitely not worth the price we paid. Very little halibut, just crumbs basically. Too much jalapeño and cabbage.

To summarize, check with the hostest on the wait time for food, and stay away from the Halibut Tacos.

I wasn't sure if it was just for resort guests or if locals could come too, so I asked--and turns out, I could! It's $10 per person. I was absolutely blown away when I went upstairs--the architecture, paintings, and black lights at night bring the space to life. They even have an outdoor area with fire pits lit up. This is such a hidden gem for local Alaskans! Sometimes, it's hard to find great bands and live music in the area, so driving an hour down to Girdwood is totally worth it. The staff was awesome, the beer was great, and the sound and acoustics were on point. All in all, an amazing experience--I highly recommend it!!

Spectacular scenery is everywhere, so don't expect the view alone to justify the cost. Our dinner was one of the biggest disappointments of our entire trip. We were celebrating our friends' 30th wedding anniversary, making the evening especially meaningful. Our bill was over $1,700 for our group, and not one person at our table said they even liked their meal. Several dishes were barely edible. My scallop soup contained one scallop that was not fully cooked and a tiny piece of cracker. The gazpacho was overwhelmingly spicy. The beet salad was served over scattered drops of horseradish that weren't even applied consistently from one plate to another, making the dish feel careless and unbalanced. The main courses were average at best. Some people didn't even finish their filet mignon, which should be one of the easiest dishes for a restaurant of this caliber to get right. The desserts were just as disappointing. No one finished theirs, and no one had anything positive to say about them. The service was equally unacceptable. Before dinner even began, one of our friends quietly asked the waiter if he could please bring a candle with the anniversary dessert to help celebrate the couple's 30th wedding anniversary. It was the very first request made after we were seated, yet it was completely overlooked. The desserts arrived with no candle, no acknowledgment of the occasion, and no apology. It may seem like a small detail, but it reflected the lack of attentiveness we experienced throughout the evening. Our waiter repeatedly reached across guests instead of serving properly, refused to clear plates himself because he wanted the bus staff to do it, and the overall service felt slow, awkward, and very unprofessional. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, every part of the meal seemed to take far longer than it should have. What really confirmed that it wasn't just us was talking to the family seated next to us--a group of 14--who felt exactly the same way about both the food and the service. I consider myself a true foodie. I love trying new restaurants and cuisines, and I'm far from being a picky eater. I almost never write negative reviews, but this experience was simply unacceptable. I had heard this restaurant was a "must-do" while visiting the area, which made the experience even more disappointing. In my opinion, it's simply not worth the money. I wouldn't even recommend paying to ride the tram just to dine here, because you'll find breathtaking scenery all over Alaska without spending hundreds of dollars on a meal that falls far short of expectations. I sincerely hope this review helps other travelers avoid making the same very expensive mistake we did.

I put off going here forever because I thought it would be grossly overpriced and touristy…read more I am happy to report: that is not true. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it expensive for the quality of food/service/ambiance you get? Hell no! As far as the touristy thing, this place is definitely going to packed with tourists in the summer but...I wouldn't say it's one of those places that bends of backwards to cater to tourists. This is a place setup for locals just as much as it is for visistors. (eg NOT like 49th State Brewing or Glacier Brewhouse) Sarah got the salmon, I got the halibut. We were both impressed! The halibut was not at all fishy. (yes, I have had fishy halibut...and yes I hav had it at restaurants in Alaska...yes they were highly-rated) Cocktails were good and reasonably priced. Views were, of course, unbeatable. Sad I didn't take any photos of them.
