Such a treat to eat here! I had the seafood gemelli with GF rotini pasta. I double checked with waiter that they would use separate pasta water and a separate strainer for my pasta and they were happy to accommodate. The beef tip and polenta appetizer was fantastic and can be made GF without the fried leaks that typically go on top. Limoncello pannacotta for dessert was so yummy too! No reaction :)

The server was very helpful and knowledgeable about the GF options. I felt safe and didn’t have a reaction, however I just thought my dish was okay. I had the prosciutto wrapped halibut. It was under seasoned and room temperature.

Numerous options and excellent food and cocktail menu. Had grilled chicken parmesan and the seafood deviled eggs. Also unique and delicious creme brûlée with risotto on the bottom. See pics. Returned in 2023 and had prosciutto wrapped halibut. It was fantastic.

Great upscale dining in Anchorage. My friends and I ate here on our last night of an approximate two week trip to AK. Everything was amazing. I appreciate that the waiter was honest about portion sizes. I considered ordering a salad to start then have the filet for my entree. The waiter let me know that the filet dish was going to be plenty of food. He was right. It was rich and flavorful. The steak was perfectly cooked to my desired medium rare. The price wasn’t as high as I would have expected so I feel my dinner was a bargain! You should visit here if you’re in the area and want great food at a great price.

This place is my go-to for Celiac friendly food! The gluten free menu has lots of options including pasta (which is amazing!) and desert!! The staff is super attentive and very knowledgeable about what is gluten free and what can be made gluten free. The food is super fresh and very creative. My husband and I dine here quite often and I've never gotten sick. All Celiacs can eat here worry free! LOVE this place!!
