This is not an establishment we frequent, however we thought we would go on Friday night. In the past (a few years ago when we last went) we needed a reservation, we made a reservation for 4 people at 6:15 pm. To our surprise there were not very many people dining.
We knew this was going to be an expensive dining experience. I wouldn’t mind paying those high costs if the meal was outstanding, the service over the top and the atmosphere top notch. Which was not the case.
The atmosphere- we were sat under a speaker playing obnoxious loud music. 4 of us larger people put at a small round table, (which had seen better days). We were behind the host stand (near the window) where all the young servers/hostess were “hanging out” munching on goldfish and having a good time. Way too many people on staff for the amount of customers in the restaurant. Our server was fine, older man who was working hard.
I personally found the menu to be confusing. The portions to be small and completely over priced for what you get. I will enclose photos of our meals.
The steaks were fillets, due to them running out of the one we ordered. We asked for medium… They were cooked medium well, but they ate them just fine. The beef tips were delicious, I would prefer my bread not be in the juice, on the side would be less soggy. The risotto was not as good as my previous experience, especially for the cost. The risotto cake under the steak was not a hit either.
The side salad was a nice portion & quality.
We did order cheesecake to go, because we heard it was amazing. Honestly Costco’s taste better.
It will be a long time before we try Lavelles again.

We recently had the pleasure of dining here for Valentine’s Day, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The entire evening was well-organized, fun, and incredibly memorable.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who were clearly passionate about providing top-notch service. Our server was attentive and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening.
For dinner, I had the honey apple halibut, which was cooked to perfection with a delightful balance of sweetness and savory flavors. My husband ordered the risotto, and he couldn’t stop raving about how creamy and flavorful it was. Both dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.
The ambiance was romantic and cozy, with soft lighting and tasteful Valentine’s Day decorations that added a special touch to the evening. It was the perfect setting for a romantic dinner.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate special occasions, enjoy delicious food, and create lasting memories. We left with full hearts and satisfied appetites. Five stars all the way!

The service and staff were excellent but we didn’t enjoy the food unfortunately.
I ordered the specialty ribeye steak, but it was served without any Maillard reaction, meaning the Steak didn’t taste like a steak and it didn’t have a crust at all.
It was similar to a Souse Vide steak that wasn’t properly seared or an Oven prepared steak without searing, similar to reverse searing gone bad.
The fish was cooked good and tasted good, but the apple sauce didn’t feel as it belonged, it didn’t connect with the fish.
The calamrie just didn’t taste good and we couldn’t complete it at all

The food is delicious! And the service is outstanding. I had the Alaskan scallops, raw oysters and the beer battered Halibut. Each dish was prepared perfectly! I look forward to coming back here one day!

I highly recommend Lavelle’s, particularly if you’re staying at the Marriott Spring Hill. The service was great, with our server being very friendly. Even though it was quite busy when we visited, the salad and prime rib were served promptly. I have absolutely no complaints; my experience was thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to returning to Lavelle’s if I ever visit Fairbanks again.

This is one of the most pleasant experiences I had in Fairbanks. I totally ran into this place and it was a great surprise.
Everyone in this place perform their duties with excellence. The food was amazing and so the drinks. Service in general is 10+
I recommend you to stop by even just for a drink.

The atmosphere was warming. We were seated with no reservation. The service was fast, with about 25 percent of the restaurant filled. Now let’s talk food. I ordered the New York 16oz strip. The strip looks more like a 12oz. The flavor was bland. I had to add table salt. I normally don’t eat steak with steak sauce because it takes away from the flavor of the steak, but it’s definitely needed. The table bread is small so if you like community bread be prepared to ask for more. The chicken soup was small. Makes me wonder how much salad I would have gotten instead of soup. They have a large menu to choose from. My experience is only over the $50 New York strip meal.

My husband and I had a fantastic date night here last weekend. It was the first time in a long time we didn’t feel rushed and were able to relax and enjoy the night. Service was impeccable, and the timing of everything was spaced out perfectly. I had the daily pasta special with reindeer and shrimp. It was delicious. To drink, I tried the Tokyo Cherry Limeade and definitely recommend! My husband had a rack of lamb, and while he enjoyed it, he ordered it rare and said it was a little overdone for his taste, but still very good. We shared a calamari appetizer and it was very tender and cooked well. We will definitely return.

Good spot in Fairbanks. It was the only modern/not rugged place we ate while in town. The food was quite good. The bourbon shrimp were delicious. The Caesar salad also good. I had the salmon (Cooper river). It was really good. I would have preferred less salt in the sauce and the salmon less cooked…..more on the rare side, but it was still very good. My friends had the halibut and the beef tips and they both enjoyed them. Service was good too.
