I can't understand why chefs choose to spoil food by applying very strong flavoured sauces. I ordered the salmon which came with a wasabi sauce. I was not familiar with wasabi sauce so enquired about it from the waitress. She explained that it was quite mild so I ordered the salmon. If this is mild flavour I don't want to... More

After seeing the great reviews on this restaurant, we decided to try it. They were able to seat all 6 of us. The service was great. Food was very good. Very close to the cruise ships.

As a crew member we get to sample food over and over again in each port, and this is by far a hidden gem in this town. With an eclectic atmosphere, friendly staff and GREAT prices for Alaska, this cafes homemade fare is unbeatable. The sandwiches are fresh, hot, and unique, and they serve breakfast to go for those who... More

We partook in a little beverage, whereupon we asked our waitress if she could recommend a restaurant in town for our dinner. The cruise ship food was fine, but when... More

Although we never received the "Famous Basket of Bread" and the service was incredibly slow, the food was excellent as was the atmosphere. The chef was harvesting bits of fresh flowers and herbs for some of our dishes. Prices are in line with most places in Alaska, a bit on the high side for those of us touring from the... More
