    This restaurant is very overpriced and the food was not good. Pasta was tasteless and this morning there was hair in my waffle. We ate here because we were on a land excursion with a cruise line and you are more or less trapped there on top of a mountain with no others food choice. They should be ashamed charging $30+ for a basic breakfast buffet. Everyone I spoke to that ate there said the same thing. It was overpriced and the food was tasteless.

    Nice evening dinner after full day of hiking. Food was good, service was friendly and prompt. Ambiance was fantastic as we could see the mountains from our window table.

    Restaurant was convenient since we stayed in the same hotel. We just ate a different menu item each night. Food were all delicious - salmon, chicken, steak and house salad. The grape tomatoes were so sweet and juicy. I can’t believe they can get them that fresh at this location in Alaska late in the fall season. Service was excellent. I loved the idea of hiring students with some from other parts of the world. They were friendly, polite and appreciative for the opportunity to visit the US. And the views from this place is spectacular.

    We all had the Brussels sprouts which were flavorful and hot. We also all had the salmon. It tasted very good but was dry. The many vegetables that adorned the plate, edema, crispy kale, cauliflower purée, quinoa and carrot were of varying degrees of temperature from cold to somewhat warm. The large horse carrot appeared to be uncooked. The coffee and chocolate torte were delicious.

    The food and service were good, especially considering we were in the middle of Denali. The portions were on the smaller side though. The view was spectacular. It would have been nice to have a choice of better desserts.

    Food was overrated and expensive. We spent >$150 for two salmon dinners and shared a dessert (no drinks). Multiple people from our group sent vegetables back because they were so undercooked, you could’t cut them (both carrots and asparagus). Salmon was overcooked, couscous was passable. Save your money and get pizza.

    Service was poor only because they were grossly understaffed. Server explained it so it was not on him but the restaurant. Didn’t get bread until main course was served. Food didn’t have much taste to it. My wife’s was suppose to have carrots but there were none. For $100 it was the worse I’ve had.
