    Chop House Alaska - Scallops with polenta and subbed veggies for spinach

    This restaurant is light-years ahead of its predecessor, when it was only a hotel buffet. Most of…read moreour experiences have been good. But do NOT order the shrimp and scallop pasta. Even though I specifically asked for al dente, and also stressed to the waitress I'd rather the pasta is undercooked than overcooked, it came out like the typical American restaurant pasta mush that dissolves in your mouth. You should be able to bite into pasta, not feel it dissolve on your tongue - besides the fact overcooked pasta has a higher glycemic index, which contributes to overeating and weight gain, and is therefore less healthy. Additionally, it was not "topped" with sauce, but rather it looked like pasta soup. And there shouldn't be so much cheese in pasta sauce that it forms strings when you raise your fork to your mouth. Way too much Parmesan cheese, so it masked the other flavors that should have been there. Since the sauce flavor was ok (but not spectacular since the primary overwhelming flavor was the Parmesan) we boxed the rest of the sauce after I attempted to finish my overcooked and texture deficient pasta. A couple nights later we cooked a full pound of pasta (correctly) at home and were able to eat four servings with the leftover sauce! So there was enough sauce in one dish for the equivalent of five people! That's just ridiculous. So our recommendation: 1) cook the pasta correctly, 2) reduce the cheese in the sauce, 3) reduce the sauce to 20% of what you currently serve - you can serve five times as many people with the same amount of sauce, and actually drop the price of this dish to something more reasonable, and you'll still come out ahead. That's our two cents from having dined in three dozen countries, all fifty states, and having even taken cooking lessons in Italy.

    Wow, a friend wanted to go here and after see the reviews I was less than excited especially after…read morelooking at the prices. What an incredible surprise. I don't know how I could give this place higher praise after the incredibly tasty meal we were served. We started with the Calamari and also the Empanadas for the table. I've had Empanadas at least 40-50 different times and locations all over the world No joke these were the tastiest ones I have ever had. I crispy initial bite followed by a soft warm/hot filling that was packed with goodness The green sauce was so good I forgot to try the whiter sauce. I would literally come back just for these as they were out of the world delicious. The calamari was tasty and prepared well not over cooked or undercooked. The chef prepared them well but my focus was on the Empanadas so I hardly ate any Calamari. Then came the entrees and I was blown away at the Seafood Linguini. The scallops & , shrimp-were perfectly cooked in a rich and creamy sauce that was Devine. It struck the perfect balance of a delicious garlic, buttery goodness with the cream. Just the right amount of sauce that every bite was covered in sauce but somehow it packed a punch of flavor in every bite. I wish tomorrow wasn't my last day in Wasilla before heading home because I could come to this place everyday I was so good. Now for the final treat, the view. Nestled on a hill overlooking this beautiful lake with mountains in the background I'm struggling to paint a picture worthy of that view. When I first arrived I thought to myself this place must survive purely on the views given the bad reviews. Not at all, even though I would put this view as my top 2-3 ever at a restaurant ( Compared to a Michelin restaurant in Cannes France overlooking the Ocean, a restaurant at the top of a mountain in Keystone Colorado, and this place all breathtaking. Having said that, I actually think the food was better than the view if that's possible. Next time I make it back to Alaska, this place will be my first stop for certain. I sure hope when I make it back in a year or two it's performing at this level because this was an experience I won't soon forget. If you're on the fence based on reviews, do yourself a favor and at least try the Empanadas or Seafood Linguini. These are unforgettable!

This sandwich was good. Mayonnaise and mustard ratio was perfect. They were also very quick and slapping sandwiches together.

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.
