Comfort eats such as steak & seafood in a rustic eatery with outdoor seating & mountain views.

Lots of windows to check out absolutely amazing view! We came here in July. Love the staff, they work soooo hard. They are amazing. They are from all over the world. Food was fresh. Everything thing was good! Drinks were all good. Afterwards there is an outdoor balcony with telescopes to view far away mountains. Worth every penny!

Good selection of dishes, including some healthy options. Service was very good and the overall meal was flavorful, even if a few things didn’t match the menu exactly. Our black barley was swapped for quinoa in the salmon dish and no shaved squashwas on the plate. The Tundra salad was missing a few advertised veggies (watermelon radish and carrots). The salmon was slightly overcooked despite our request for medium, so we’ll try medium rare next time. My husband wasn’t a fan of the cold ricotta on the warm pasta, but that might come down to personal taste. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but I guess that’s expected in Alaska. But the view alone makes it worth it.

Aapenglow has an amazing view of Denali NP with a wrap around patio area. The restaurant has a limited menu for dinner, but some tasty choices. The prices are rather high, but it is probably a better restaurant choice for adults only vs families with young kids. There is a small kids menu, however. The food was pretty tasty…highly recommend the focaccia bread. The salmon chowder was too rich for my taste, but still delicious. The salmon main dish was delightful. Service is prompt and very friendly. The atmosphere was the best part in a high ceiling lodge environment.

Alpenglow Restaurant, located adjacent to the Grand Denali Lodge, offers a delightfully upscale dining experience with its charming ambiance, impeccable service, and creative cuisine.
**Ambiance: 5/5**
With a breath taking view of the Alaska Range, and rustic wooden furnishings, The Alpenglow is truly a gem.
**Service: 5/5**
The staff provides exceptional service, from warm greetings to knowledgeable menu recommendations. Their genuine hospitality enhances the dining experience.
**Food: 5/5**
The menu features fresh, locally influenced dishes. For an appetizer the Reindeer and Melon Flatbread was light, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. The Pork Shanks were hearty and tasted great with the reindeer sausage. The Shrimp and Grits were the best shrimp and grits I have ever had! The grits were incredibly creamy and the shrimp tasted fresh and was seasoned to perfection. Desserts like the Coffee Cake Bread Pudding are the perfect end to the meal.
**Value: 5/5**
While on the pricier side, the quality of food, service, and ambiance justifies the cost.
**Overall: 5/5**
The Alpenglow is a must-visit if you find yourself in the area, offering an enchanting dining experience that delights and leaves a lasting impression.

The service, food, and views are awesome. Not much more to say than that. Would dine here again if we weren’t just staying one night at the Grande Denali.

High quality menu here with an amazing view. Service can be a bit patchy but what’s coming out of the kitchen is very solid. Recommend.

Go early to get the best views by the windows. It’s expensive, but wonderful food. Attentive service. Friendly.

To those who love to see alaska for all its beauty from moutain view, this place is spectacular. But if you wish to enjoy the fresh delights of foods that alaska has to offer, I highly recommend not coming here unless you come to just enjoy a bit of soup and appetizer.
I came to the resteraunt when they opened and even reserved a table for me and one other friend in advance so we could fully enjoy all that the resteraunt had to offer. We ended up staying for three hours for the two of us to have soup, appetizer, dinner, and dessert. And to any local, they would know, it doesn’t take 45 minutes to cook a salmon.
Sadly, the only thing enjoyable was our hostess being so kind and caring to us, soup, and appetizer. To end up paying a bit over $100 a person and get sub-par meals is very disappointing.
For this, I will not return and stay to my passion to keep to local mom and pop places. For you can taste the love and passion they put into their dishes, and not bury it in kosher salt.

The food was good, but the portion size was really small for $46 for the Halibut. The appetizer was delicious. I really wanted to try the salmon, but they had already reserved every bit of salmon that they had to the cruise ship that came in. There were several customers that were wanting the salmon, but they were told no also. The service was not very good. I understand they were alittle busy, but please take care of one customer to a certain degree before moving on to another. We always had to ask other workers besides our waiter for assistance. He went to every table around us, but us to assist. If I come back to Alaska, I will not revisit this restaurant and will not recommend it to anyone.

3 stars at best. Took quite a while to get my cocktail which I ordered immediately, but it came after my dinner arrived. Had to return our appetizer (Arancini) since it was still cold in the middle. Potato chips were kinda burnt. Halibut was good. Pasta with shrimp was good too (4 year old ate it). No issues with our server but $90 for all that? Not sure I’d return.
***They did give us 2 scoops of strawberry ice cream before leaving and took the appetizer off the bill***
