⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely outstanding! Every dish was packed with incredible flavor and beautifully presented — truly top-notch from start to finish. We especially love the monthly fresh sheet; it keeps things exciting and lets us try something new every visit. The creativity and quality never disappoint. Exceptional food, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere — this place is a gem!

They went above and beyond for us. I made a reservation online with OpenTable, and in the reservation it allowed me to choose that it was our anniversary and had a spot for a note. I said we were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary and didn’t think much more about it, but they took it seriously! To our surprise when we got there we had a lovely table by the fireplace, with a nice tablecloth, flowers, and a card with included a free dessert for us to share. Our waiter gave us extra attention and it was a great night. We definitely will be going back and greatly appreciate their efforts to make our evening special.

The food is great! It’s why I will continue going back. Some of the best in Alaska and worth the drive if you live in the valley.
Service has lacked the last couple times I’ve been here. They seem to constantly have servers new to their field. The second to last time I went with a friend from work we waited 10 minutes before a group of oil workers came in and were sat beside us. They were acknowledged first, got served their meals before we got appetizers. They were waited on by the same person helping us. We expected some sort of acknowledgement for the mixup. Nothing.
Kind of trivial: its also very cold if you get seated by the windows. But the fires are very nice!

Went here with the fam for dinner. Caught the jake Paul vs Mike tyson fight. The events here my relative says are great. I felt like jt was a well done event however by the time I got my food we were very busy with the event itself. Sounds great but for 30$+ for my food I was actually really sad. I got the tempura scalops and shrimp which was breaded with like cornbatter or something weird that wasnt cooked all the way through -_-. Got like 5 big pieces but I was so hungry. The stuffed mushrooms were delicious.. everyone’s else’s food looked perfect. My French onion was pretty good too, not the best but not bad by any means but good.

My boyfriend and I had the best time there last night. We were there celebrating 17 years of being together and they went out of their way to make it a very special evening for us. Even left a little happy anniversary note! The service and our waitress ( I wish I could remember her name, I’m so sorry!) Was incredible. She never let our glasses go empty and was cheerful and had a great personality.
The food was so tasty and perfectly cooked. They gave us a beautiful table by the fireplace with lots of views to enjoy our date and meal.
Thank you all for making this a memorable night out for us!

We ordered the Thanksgiving take and bake this year from settlers bay and it’s so so delicious and made our Thanksgiving so much more memorable we picked up Tuesday and baked it the same day (we did an early Thanksgiving this year) very minimal prepping. Was able to spend so much more time with the family and still got the home cooked meal vibes + the portions were very big we still have leftovers!! Will be making it a tradition from here on out(: wish I snapped pictures but unfortunately camera did not eat first.

Wow. Awesome view. Great food and great service.
Bar has an awesome whiskey list and local beers on tap.
Everything we had was great!
Little o. The high price end, but worth it.
About an hour from Anchorage off the highway in Wasilla.

This place is amazing. Their attention to detail is what sets them apart. The food is delicious, and the bacon butter is to die for. The list of mocktails is great for those who want a drink without drinking.
