I did not complain loudly because we were out for a nice meal, but upon reflection, I would not return to this restaurant and would not recommend it to anyone. There was no sauce on the pasta and I did not eat it, so I essentially paid $45 for five small shrimp. The shrimp were well prepared but there were only 5 and they were small-not a size I would cook with personally. We ordered the Caesar salad, and we waited until the owner prepared the salads at three other tables-including for a couple who came in after we arrived. They were never moved and we did not eat from them. There were olives and some butter on the table when we were moved and an open bottle of, presumptively, water. We were the only Black couple-or people of color-in the restaurant. My initial assumption was there were no tables in the other room, but after we complained and were moved, I noted there were several tables in that room. Ours was in that room, where my husband's back was just off the door and entrance. The photos show the cozy room with a fireplace but there is a room off. We were initially seated at what I believe was the next to worse table in the restaurant. My husband and I went for the experience of a nice, couples meal.
Sadly, I would not return to this restaurant, and would caution others to ensure they did not get that very same table and/or incur the (literal) cold indifference of the staff. It was a big disappointment, and the service level did not match the expectation of the meal and restaurant. We left without so much as a word uttered from the staff. At some point we were clearly labeled as a "problem" table and the staff all but abandoned us, coming by only to provide the bill as we sat in silence, not wanting to disturb the guests next to us. Our requests were met with arguments and questioning indifference. We endured the entire meal having to wear our coats inside, and feeling uncomfortable speaking too loudly as the couple next to us was so close.Īs the meal wound on, we enjoyed the food and wine, but as tables were vacated, we inquired about moving to a better (and warmer) spot. My chair was effectively a conference chair, compared with the more comfortable (and planned) decor of the rest of the restaurant. It was effectively in the server galley, shared a wall with the very loud kitchen, next to an open door overlooking the port, and was uncomfortably close to the table next to us. It was seemingly more of an afterthought.
Upon arrival, we were seated at unquestionably the worst table in the house. a reservation as we were only visiting Anchorage for a few days. Unfortunately, the layout, the table arrangement, and (lack of) response to our concerns overshadowed our entire experience. It is historical, the food is excellent, and the wine selection is incredible. There is so much to love about this place.
