Don’t write off Spenard! We had a wonderful Valentines dinner! Crab stuffed ravioli and burrata bruschetta! Wa fantastic. Great service and lots of options to choose from. Too full for dessert but heard the couple at the next able “this is the best tiramisu I have ever had” and others were ordering. Oakley was great server! We shared a dinner and appetizer and had a wine and beer.

While I had heard about this place I had not yet visited. On my birthday the restaurant we originally intended had an hour wait and someone suggested we come here instead. I was very glad we did. The service was very good and attentive I had the chowder flight, which I recommend. Portion sizes were great. Everything tasted fantastic . At the end of the meal, our waiter brought me an ice cream sandwich on the house.

Omg! What an amazing find. This place is outstanding. The food was wonderful, and the service was above and beyond. My husband and I fell in love with this place. From the super friendly host to the server and busser, everything was fantastic. This is only top of our favorites. Definitely check this place out.

We were visiting anchorage and decided to try this place. The fish and onion rings were nice and fresh. The taste was good. Sadly, the blackened fish tacos I ordered were extremely disappointing. They lacked flavor and were honestly hard to finish because of how bland they were. Overall the experience was a bit ruined because of that. The ambience and service were very nice.

Plain rice with veggie, mango, avocado and salmon with spicy mayo for $31 food tastes too plain to me. So much rice underneath that I can’t eat because they just not go together with the stuff on top I’m sorry. Maybe need more spicymayo? Maybe if you eat healthy food you might like it. The restaurant really nice and clean.

Excellent chowder.We got the flight of chowder which was excellent. A great start to the meal. We ordered halibut and fries, and fresh halibut with a pesto pasta. The halibut was excellent. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was good. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I will go again if in the area.

Fantastic experience! We ordered the Halibut bites, Burrata bruschetta, Fried goat cheese & brie bites, and Chowder flight for starters. They were all incredible. Then we got the scallops carbonara and butter poached Halibut. Everything was incredible! Our server was attentive and had great recommendations. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Man, my first meal in Anchorage was perfect! I had the Brisket Burger med rare and ended dumping the bun and just mashing the perfectly cooked patty. My wife had the Caesar salad and she said the dressing was the best she can remember having. Couple of beers, excellent chowder flight and now I’m ready for bed. HIGHLY recommend this place

If you are looking for a nice place with lovely atmosphere stop looking you found it.
We arrived with no reservation so we had to wait about 20 min. We eventually were seated at a booth. It took a minute for our server to arrive but once she did Anna was very attentive and provided us some suggestions.
We ordered: halibut bites, bone marrow, stuffed mushrooms, chowder flight and waygu burger.
Halibut bites were 10/10 so good. Flavorful but super light! The chowder flight was quite good. The base of each claim chowder is bacon based. Not sure if this matters. There are only 4 chowders on the menu and the flight consist of 3 I think the flight should just be all 4 and price it either the same or up it to $10. I had never had bone marrow and always wanted to try it so yep ordered it. To be honest it was different than I expected. I was thinking it would be creamy but it was more gelatinous. It was flavorful but I feel it was steep price for what I received. Would not order again.
My friend said the burger was perfection and wouldn’t change a thing and the mushrooms were a lovely flavorful delight to eat.
Thoughts…to have “chowder” in the name of the establishment you would think you would have more than four chowders. Maybe the head chef can put a spin on the whole chowder and thing and maybe add a Caribbean Chowder (Caribbean spices throughout) or a specialty chowder of the month because again 4 chowders just doesn’t seem like enough choices.
If you like pasta they have a lot on the menu. I would definitely say give them a try because again this review is based on my experience and food palate.
My bill for the marrow (27), halibut (24), and flight (9) was $60

My only gripe was no full bar. My wife and I did enjoy a nice bottle of wine though. Cynthia was our server and she was outstanding. The food, amazing. Probably the best fish and chips ever. Fries, double fried and perfect. We tried the chowder sampler, minus the Manhattan one. The three we tried were all so good. It was hard to pick a favorite. Can’t go wrong here.
