Solid steak house! Reservations were made and our table was ready and reserved for our arrival. Immediately seated. Im not sure I've had such a great experience in any restaurant. The hostess even laid our napkins over our laps! ALL staff gave amazing service! Very welcoming and thanked us for our visit. Caesar salad was fresh crisp and dressed well - good portion! Served with In house croutons with a Parmesan crostini an awesome addition. Filet mignon had perfect flavor not overly seasoned perfect sear. Broccolini grilled perfect great flavor and loved seeing the garlic chips on top. Banana foster crème brûlée we ordered to-go so will need to update the review but looks promising. Dim lighting, intimate setting but is be well suited for groups. Any special occasion would send me this direction. I will be returning this was an experience I'll never forget.

People often ask why I leave reviews, and it's experiences like this that remind me why I do it--and how much I love it! Finding the perfect restaurant in Alaska has been a challenge. To me, the best restaurants are 50% amazing food and drinks and 50% atmosphere--a place so calm and relaxing it feels like the world stops when you're on a date. Until last night, I hadn't found one that checked both boxes, though Crush and Whiskey & Ramen come close. That changed when I went to Stock Steakhouse for the first time. My date suggested it, and I quickly realized word-of-mouth is why this place keeps growing. They opened seven months ago, first operating a day or two a week, and have since expanded into a fully booked restaurant. Now, every table is filled, and I imagine reservations are tough on weekends or holidays. Their website is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and lets you learn about Chef Aaron and make a reservation through a simple online form. At 11 AM, I booked a 7 PM dinner reservation, which can be tricky--for example, Whiskey & Ramen doesn't allow same-day reservations. I wasn't sure if it would go through, but within 30 minutes, Stock personally called to welcome me, ask about the occasion, and confirm the time. When I arrived at 7:30 PM, it was peak dinner rush, and several couples were waiting. If you don't have a reservation, you'll be lucky to grab a bar seat. I recommend planning ahead. The host greeted me warmly, and though my date hadn't arrived yet, I said I'd wait. Within minutes, Chef Aaron himself greeted me and made sure I was taken care of--where else does a chef do that? I'm a bit old-fashioned and classy, so when I saw an old-fashioned reserved sign at my table, it hit the spot. The wine menu was diverse, featuring a great selection of grapes and regions. They also had a cocktail menu and other options, but this is the kind of place where you hope your date enjoys red wine--the atmosphere is all about sharing a decanter. They offer bottles from $50 to several hundred dollars, plus wine by the glass for variety. The service was impeccable--patient, attentive, and let us enjoy the evening at a relaxed pace. We started with the goat cheese and pepper jelly appetizer, which was fantastic. The portion was generous, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. When you layer the goat cheese, bread, pepper jelly, arugula, and apple, you get the perfect bite--especially paired with a nice red wine. One thing to note--Stock's website does not list prices, which always makes me a little wary. It could mean anything from a $60 steak to $125+. I prefer transparency but was willing to take the risk. We ordered a filet mignon and lobster mac & cheese, which was listed at market price. I estimated $30-$50. While waiting, the waiter kept our wine glasses full and checked in regularly. Chef Aaron even stopped by again. These small but meaningful touches, along with calm lighting, cozy atmosphere, and great music, make Stock stand out from other high-end restaurants in Anchorage. When the steak arrived, it was cooked to perfection--soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. Hands down, the best steak I've had in Alaska! I've yet to try Double Musky in Girdwood, which I hear is another top contender, but for now, Stock holds the trophy for me. The lobster mac & cheese was also outstanding--light, flavorful, and felt handcrafted rather than mass-produced. It far exceeded the version at 49th State Brewing. Just when I thought the meal couldn't get better, the waiter asked, "Would you like a crème brûlée with two spoons?" How do you say no to that? Even though I'm not a big dessert person, the crème brûlée was incredible. A beautifully torched top with caramelized bananas cracked open to reveal a rich, creamy inside--absolutely heavenly. At the start of this review, I said the best restaurants are 50% food and 50% atmosphere--Stock delivers on both. Not once did I feel like we were just another table to be rushed out. Every moment--from the reservation process to the personal service, ambiance, food, and drinks--made this an exceptional experience. I highly recommend Stock as a top-tier date night spot for special occasions. That said, be prepared--this is not a cheap dinner. A conservative meal runs $200-$300, and if you add multiple wine bottles, you can easily hit $500+. But if you're looking for the perfect date night in Anchorage, Stock Steakhouse is worth every penny.

Another great experience at Stalk Steakhouse! we've never tried their goat cheese with pepper jelly appetizer before -- it was incredible and will definitely be a must-order from now on ...it came with toast and apples. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, and the macaroni and cheese had that perfect crunchy topping that makes it next-level delicious. And of course, ended the meal with their banana Foster... to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend Stalk Steakhouse for anyone looking for a consistently wonderful meal, huge wine selection and great service!

First let me say my server/Bartender was great. I Had really high hopes for this place. However I cannot in good conscious recommend it. As a person who has owned several restaurants, one of the 1st things you learn in the Kitchen is "Taste the food" In all seriousness I've had better Steak and Mashed potatoes at freaking Golden Coral. If you do decide to throw your money into a fireplace and eat here there is a couple things you need to know. 1. Be sure to ask for Salt and Pepper and bring any other seasoning you my like on your meal, because place doesn't season a damn thing unless you call Butter a seasoning. 2. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES get the mushroom demiglace not only do you only get 5 small pieces of crimini mushrooms, but the demiglace is over reduced, bitter and possibly scorched. OH AND ITS FREAKING $30 LITERALLY ALMOST HALF THE COST OF THE ENTIRE STEAK. 3. Don't get the whipped potatoes, its probably good they are served with a spoon because if you tried to eat them with a fork, you will not get any in your mouth...They are that runny. 4. If you like your steak Medium order it Rare, if you like it Mediium Rare, order it Blue The carrots were the ONLY quality part of my meal

This is an honest vegetarian review! I know, weird for a vegetarian to eat at a steakhouse- but I had been hearing great things and of course wouldn't miss an opportunity to try bananas foster crème brûlée! For an appetizer, I got the whipped goat cheese and pepper jelly with arugula. It was quite fantastic! The arugula was dressed beautifully and all flavors complimented one another well. We got the lavender berry lemonade and the Mai tai, which were gorgeous and very very tasty! For the main course, I didn't order an entree, but instead got a few sides to try. The whipped potatoes were so creamy and savory, and the rolls were wonderfully salted and buttery. The Mac and cheese was quite good, but I would have liked a thicker sauce! The risotto was a true letdown out of everything- very very flavorless (and the most expensive of the sides we got!) to a point it couldn't even be saved with salt and pepper. The dessert was so so good, just as I had hoped! The bananas foster crème brûlée had an outstanding creaminess and was not overwhelmingly sweet, and the flavor was very rich and delightful! The olive oil orange had an artistic presentation and the homemade whipped cream was to die for! We of course didn't finish everything, and our server boxed it all up for us and even wrote what was inside each takeout box on the outside! The service was really fantastic, and we never once felt neglected. Very attentive, helpful, informative, and professional! I'd overall say that even as a steakhouse, it provided a really tasty vegetarian meal for those of you veggies who have been interested in trying it but are hesitant!

My husband and I visited Stalk for his birthday. The food, ambiance, and service were all immaculate. Highly recommended the rolls!
