    An Alaskan IPA and Alaskan Seltzer with the new koozie design. The deck faces directly out over Prince William Sound.

    This place is a great spot to enjoy a cold beer or wine on the deck on nice days, or sip some coffee and utilize the WiFi inside the cozy cafe on not so nice days. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is top notch and friendly!

    Oceanfront Cafe has undeniably one of the best views in Whittier. Their perfect little patio is legit. We happened to be in Whittier for a jet ski tour, on the sunniest day since having consistent rainy conditions. The weather was perfect; the sun was beaming. We came straight to Oceanfront Cafe afterwards, to grab a few chowders to warm up. The middle table on the deck was waiting for us. Oceanfront's salmon chowder is hearty and filling. A little bland to accommodate multiple tastes I assume, but they do include salt and pepper on the table. Hot sauce helps too.

    We had such a great time checking out oceanfront cafe, which we just happened to wander up to while looking for a quick lunch before our jet ski tour. I wish I had a picture of the sandwiches and soup because they were SO good, but we kinda ate on the go. We enjoyed the service and scenery so much that we went back after our tour too. We got to know the owners and one ended up being from Missouri as well, which made us feel right at home. 10/10 wish I was back there right now!

    Halibut bites paired with a PBR for the win Cutest little spot - so homey, great employees and incredible food!

    Can not say enough praise for this little cafe! The staff is super friendly and the chowder was full of clams, potatoes, and love! Don't come expecting fast food service everything is fresh! And you can't beat the views!

    I was expecting their standard tasty seafood chowder and a good cup of espresso like I had their last summer. Turns out they have a new chef up there with a cool new menu. The halibut tacos were slammin! Awesome house made "Baja" sauce really made it pop. They also offer it in salmon, which my son had and he really dug it. They have a super cool reindeer dog menu as well. Some really cool concoctions there. My favorite was the Seoul Dog I think it was called. Had a house made vegan kimchi and some other fixings, was so good. There were also some even more out there offerings, one was a berry jam and cream cheese topped reindeer dog. My wife got that and we really like it. They also have more standard options and of course their seafood chowder. Hanging out on the ocean front deck on a sunny day was amazing, didn't want to leave! No better place in Whittier to hang out and watch for whales! We'll be back next time were around.

    Keto-fied regular dog (no bun) with bacon, grilled onion, coleslaw and cheese.

    We were so pleased with our lunch here. Everything we ordered was delicious! They use real (not American) cheese in the grilled cheese, the kimchi (on the Seoul food dog) was homemade and the salmon chowder was the best we have had to date. If you're doing low carb or keto, skip the bun and get the fixings on your dog with mustard and mayo. The staff/cook were so kind and served us well. We will definitely be back soon!

    This place is one of our favorites in girdwood…read more Everything was exceptional. Steak cooked perfectly how I wanted. Cod with the skin still was over the top. Sweet cheeks was our favorite, halibut lettuce wrap. Super busy on NYE and the service was amazing for how busy it was. The exterior and interior are beautiful and definitely feels "homey" .

    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.

    f you're anywhere near Double Musky Inn, skipping it would be a mistake. This place is legendary…read morefor a reason. Tucked away in Alyeska, it feels like a cozy, slightly wild cabin--but the food is next level. The menu leans Cajun, and everything comes out bold, rich, and unapologetically indulgent. The pepper steak is a standout--perfectly cooked, drenched in flavor, and honestly one of the best I've had. The salmon is a must--fresh, perfectly prepared, and easily one of the yummiest dishes on the menu. Portions are generous, so come hungry. The atmosphere is half the experience: eclectic, intimate, a little chaotic in the best way. It's not polished or trendy--and that's exactly why it works. It feels authentic, like a place that hasn't tried to change for anyone. They don't take reservations, so expect a wait--but it's absolutely worth it. Grab a drink, settle in, and lean into the experience. Alyeska has its share of great spots, but this is the one you remember.

    Expect to line up before 5pm to get a seat here, as this is the most popular restaurant in Girdwood…read moreand reservations aren't accepted. Although many others comment on the "vibe" and "energy" of the place, I found it to mainly be loud and hectic. The menu is diverse and the execution is very good. Not quite "world class" as claimed on the website but world class in the sub category of remote ski resort cuisine. Large portions, bold flavors, and tons of protein options. I enjoyed the lobster kabob, the fried chicken, the jambalaya, and the crawfish dip. The only item that was not worth it was the meatballs which were lean and overcooked. A must-visit in Girdwood.

The oysters were some of the best I've had! I ordered the scallops as well as two others and we thought these were Gordon Ramsey approved!! My spouse had the Mahi and he said he wouldn't order it again said it was a little fishy. Others ordered the grilled pork chop and the plates were pretty clean when finished so I would say excellent. We shared a couple bananas foster with ice cream and then topped off dinner with the cafe Diablo which is always a treat. With most of us happy with our meal I would say it was a 4 out of 5! Highly recommend coming here for a special occasion.

We were traveling for business and trying to squeeze three people into the bar area, so we knew it might be a bit of a challenge. We eventually made it work, but service took a while to get rolling. That said, once it did start, it got really good. Our server FraniP did a great job. It took a little bit for her to engage and warm up with us, but once she did, she was attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel much more welcoming. Food-wise, we were impressed. Two of us ordered the burger and it was honestly excellent--made with a blend of ribeye and tenderloin, and you could taste the difference. Really well constructed and flavorful. I went with the mushroom soup and a Caesar salad, and both were solid choices; fresh, satisfying, and better than your average "safe" menu items. The cocktail selection was also strong, but the smoked old fashioned was way too sweet. It needed to be toned down on the sugar to let the bourbon and smoke shine through. Overall: great food, great drinks selection, and a good bar atmosphere.. just be prepared for a slower start on service during peak nights.
