This is a pretty big place, obviously for the tourist. But it was very fast and the food was excellent. As well as amazing service. The same shower was spectacular. The reindeer chili was decent, and efficient chips were top-tier. The fries were freaking amazing! If you want some good food with some amazing views of the water in icy straight point I would highly recommend the Cook house

Limited menu I had the halibut and chips and the wife had halibut sandwich. The other couple with us shared the halibut and chips since everything was expensive.

It's in an old building that has all the, umm, charm of an old building.

Good effort to keep Hoonah local.

To us, this was the best meal of our entire cruise to Alaska, including the ones on the ship! This lovely establishment is run by a lively couple - Todd and Srisa. Todd is the fisherman who goes out to catch your crab just an hour or two in advance of your meal. Together, they prepare a wonderful meal of steamed Dungeness Crab that is the freshest ever, accompanied by servings of Thai Fried Rice for everyone in your party. Mix the chunks of crab into the rice and voila' - The best crab fried rice I've ever tasted! Both of them cook and together they come out to present each course. The dessert is a delicious homemade berry cobbler made from wild berries that Sri handpicked herself. Just WOW. C A L L A H E A D ! ! ! Their usual mode of operation seems to serve private small tour groups, but my advice is to call ahead of time to reserve your table (ideally before you board your cruise) and tell them which day you are coming into Icy Point Strait. They'll definitely save a table for you if you give them a heads-up! D I R E C T I O N S : If your cruise ship itinerary says "Icy Point Strait" as a stopover, take the little shuttle bus on the far side of the visitors center for $5 each. Or.. just walk the 1.2 miles over to the nearby town of Hoonah. Hoonah is a tiny little village filled with fishing boats and a minimum of touristy kitsch. HBH is on your way into town. The shuttle bus passes HBH on the way in, and drops you off in front of the harbor marina. Set your sights a couple of blocks back along the shoreline from the harbor and you'll find Hoonah Beach House (HBH). We would love to dine here again!

The crab was just average crab, nothing spectacular but still good. The chili though is very good and I would get that again! The butter though was very good!! It was like it was very rich but light.

You can find local beer and some cocktails. The Halibut sandwich is one of our favorites along with the reindeer chili. The staff are friendly and help us with some of our food and drink choices.

The patio in the back has a fire so you can sit out there and enjoy the scenery.

I came to the Fairweather Dining Room inside Glacier Bay Lodge after completing the day tour boat…read moretrip throughout Glacier Bay National Park. Although I wasn't a guest at the Glacier Bay Lodge, it was actually my AirB&B Host who suggested I make a reservation for dinner first thing in the morning when I arrived at the lodge. And...btw, Glacier Bay Lodge is the departure point for boat trips out on the waters of Glacier Bay. The dock area is located right in the rear of the lodge. I was fortunate enough to grab a 6:15pm reservation, though this was for one of the last weekends of the tourism season, at the end of August. Also, one more thing, lol...to explore Glacier National Park...by boat is the only way it can be navigated. The National Park Services in conjunction with the Glacier Bay Lodge offers one, 8 hour excursion from 8am - 4pm every day throughout the summer season. The website for boat tours is: https://www.visitglacierbay.com/tours/glacier-bay-day-tour/ So, it just efficiently made sense to have dinner here at the Fairweather Dining Room after finishing seeing Glacier Bay. I would also recommend to others out there to take the day boat tour and come here for dinner. Almost everyone on my tour was a familiar face eating inside the dining room afterwards. Another thing, lol, if you're not staying at Glacier Bay Lodge...then there's not many options to eat in the remote town of Gustavus. After dinner, my AirB&B Host was kind enough to pick me up at the lodge and drive me back to my cabin. Some details about this Fairweather Dining Room... - It had a cozy and rustic feel to it. There was a fireplace right nearby within the lodge. - The menu is limited to just a few options including salmon, halibut and fish and chips. There was also ribeye steak and a chicken dish. But, of course, when here on the Glacier Bay waters of the Inside Passage of Alaska...how can you not have seafood? I chose the halibut. According to the menu... "Baked Alaskan Halibut with lemon herb compound-butter, red-skinned garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed carrots and asparagus". As usual, it didn't eat heavy so I had room for dessert...a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream, drizzled caramel syrup and whipped cream (which wasn't even on the menu, but suggested by my server). Lastly, I had a decent view of the boating dock pier though the whole day was dampened by cloudy, foggy and tough conditions outside. Overall, eating here at the Fairweather Dining Room was still a rewarding way to end my visit to Glacier Bay National Park. I really liked the food, service and charming setting.

The donuts are mini and you can order them by picking one or two flavors per dozen which I did (6 chocolate and 6 spiced apple cider). They come to you warm and fresh in a bag and what's cool is there are no artificial colors used at all, so even if you get chocolate, the donut has no color, but has the flavor!
