Best food I had in Alaska! I originally went to try a baked Alaska, which was incredibly delicious with a sweet rhubarb sauce, and fell in love with their baked halibut and house smoked Turkey Pot pie. We went there twice for these three dishes and I highly recomend them to anyone dining here. This restaurant is an essential stop for anyone visiting the Denali National Park, or simply passing through. The service and ambiance was also wonderful. The waiter we got was fun to be around and happily answered all our questions about working in Alaska. For the ambiance, it is bustling and packed around dinner time, but they had the perfect amount of seating, so we only ever waited around fifteen minutes. On the exterior, they have a small garden where they grow the rhubarb and other plants. I repeat: visit this restaurant if you can. It's worth the Thirty minutes from Denali or anywhere else within an hour radius.

I had dinner here and was genuinely impressed — the food and service were both excellent. I had the salmon tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They also have a nice selection of baked goods, coffee, and an espresso machine. I stopped in a few times for an espresso after dinner during my trip — great quality and consistently good. If you’re visiting Denali, this is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They also offer items to-go and have a front desk that can help you book local activities, which was super convenient. Highly recommend stopping in!

We had a great breakfast here (good selection of veg options) and the latte was so good! We had Avacado sandwich which was filling and well made with Sourdough bread and microgreens on top. We also ordered side of sourdough bread and rhubarb jam - it was good too! It has a Togo menu separate from dining menu. Scones were the only other thing which was without eggs/gelatin. And they were out of Matcha tea.
