Really enjoy the vibe here. Good comfort food and a good selection of local beers. Only detraction is the service. The young folks who work here are perfectly nice, but not skilled in food service or in teamwork. To be honest, I liked a slower pace during our short stay in Denali, but felt the staff was largely untrained and under-motivated. But a great vibe and a really nice place.

Modern steakhouse at Denali Square.

Randomly ate here after getting off a Denali shuttle. Got seated right away. Found something on the menu that was unique to me, sounded good and was less expensive. Of course they were out of that so I had to get something more expensive and less interesting. I think it was called rockfish. It was very good, especially the green sauce over it. My wife liked her steak. For dessert we ordered Baked Alaska. They were out of that so we just asked for our check. With a limited menu it’s a shame they were out of 2-thirds of what we ordered. Will eat elsewhere for the rest of our stay at Denali.

Alaskan Salmon Cacio e Pepe was wonderful and fresh and Karsten’s Tomato Caprese soup was chock full of flavor. Our main server Decker was so attentive and helpful as we just arrived and were a bit disorientated, but he settled us down and provided the best possible experience. Oh, and the chocolate cookie dessert is to die for.

Would not recommend. Fannie Q’s, the grizzly burger, or king salmon were better. We had reservations but they didn’t seat us til afterwards. It was an average busy night- there were plenty of servers and open tables but it took over 30 minutes for a server to come to us once seated. Then they were still slow the rest of the night. Watch your portion size- they dramatically varied table to table and we got the small ones. Food was meh. The brisket was just fat but thankfully the server agreed and brought a new piece. Was not the best regardless. Salmon was good but didn’t make up for the overall experience.

The vibe here is amazing, live music inside (not too loud!) and lots of seating options outside. The food was really good as well, we loved the tomato caprese soup, salmon dishes and salad with chicken. The chicken wings were just okay but a nice change from other establishments and easy to share.

Above average prices in a nice setting and showy building with crazy numbers of people, ling waits and good to below average food. . . Pretty much what one would expect from a stop at a Princess Cruises hotel restaurant during high tourist season. Don’t suffer with the fish and chips. Tomatoes soup and chicken salad were pretty good, but not great.

We had a pretty mediocre experience, mostly due to the service. We ordered two appetizers and not only did they forget one they brought the apps out with our dinner. So we were starving by the time our food came out and didn’t really want the appetizers once we had our meals.

We loved this restaurant. The service was wonderful and all of our food was very good. I loved their breakfast buffet for its large variety of choices and they were constantly refilling everything. Our servers were from many countries and we enjoyed meeting and talking with all of them. The restaurant is very clean and airy. I recommend eating there.

A busy place indeed as the resort holds many people and food options are limited. Servers were very personable and fast. Menu is limited and pricey but it gets the job done. $50.00 today for 2 hamburgers and sodas.
