Pricey, but excellent food.
Bridget Coolick
Really friendly and attentive staff. Although the restaurant does get busy during rush hours, it was never a long wait. The food was very good and the view was inspiring.
David Haberkorn
Fabulous food - and the view is world class. Try the Duck, perfectly done crispy skin with a wonderful sauce. Save room for the Bananas Foster!

Paul Baughman
Nice place with good food and great view.
Deborah Kocsis
Casual food and excellent views on the outdoor balcony. Can be windy up there. Good service and good selection of craft brews. Road signs on the way up are hilarious. A good place to recover after the Tundra Wilderness Tour.

One of the most beautiful restaurants in the interior. Great atmosphere, wonderful 5 star food and great customer service. Waiter was great, didn't even need to write things down, friendly staff gave my son a little gift and made his day! Will definitely be going back and I would recommend to everyone!

The hostess needs to learn about the hospitality industry. Despite a call ahead 5 hours before our 7:30 reservation, we arrived at 7:25 and the table wasn't ready. The restaurant was 1/3 full. The service at the table was very good, especially busing used plates and glasses. The server was very engaging and attentive. Food was outstanding.

Derek Blankenship
Food was great, view was excellent. I enjoyed the dinner service. Hiked up to the lodge from the bottom of the mountain, would not recommend doing that. The place is beautiful.
Bill Hawkins
Nice people ,overpriced food , not worthy of price charged, even for Alasks. If your going to charge outlandish prices make the food outlandish good.
Han Wang
Most restaurants on google map are overrated however this one is underrated... besides the fantastic view, the food is really really good. We ordered the 2 way duck and pork belly, both are very delicious. The service is ok not the best, but the food is beyond expectation.
Bobbie Reddick
Very good food and service.
Tamara Mitchell
Food is amazing. Would be 5 stars except hostess not friendly any of the times we are here. All of them act like they do not care you are here. Servers, Chad and Jacob were awesome. Food is creative, fresh and delicious. Their "new old fashioned" cocktail is a must for bourbon aficionados. As I say, a smile is free, give it that way. Would have been 5 stars if we had re river one at greeting. Appreciate your customers, without them you would not have a job.
Becky Dobbs

Christine Ross

Ashutosh Prasad
On the pricey side but great food and amazing views make up for it. The service is excellent and there is indoor as well as outdoor seating (weather dependent). The drinks were great as well.
Kim Mills
We actually didn't eat there we just looked at the hilarious signs and view
Tamara S
Upscale, fine-dining, but definitely some of the best food--and definitely the best views--you'll have in your life. The burgers on the lounge menu will change your life and they do roasted brussel sprouts that'll get you hooked. Like the rest of Glitter Gulch, the hotel is only open from mid-May to mid-September, but whether you're driving through during the summer or visiting Denali on vacation, sitting down to eat some amazing food on the side of a cliff overlooking to Alaska Range is not something you want to miss.

Nice view and the food was good, but service was haphazard. We ordered two cocktails (a rosemary Blueberry and the other was a Denali 100), and waiter couldn't tell them apart. We asked for a spare plate to split a salad... it arrived after we had finished the salad and the original salad plate was gone. We asked to hold mushrooms from the gnocchi, and they didn't honor the request. The background music was sort of a beach oldies... nothing to match the views and the atmosphere.
Jack Marshall
Good food but not cheap anywhere in alasky
Kimberly Gilhousen
Got the fish and chips. Could tell that the Cod was very fresh but unfortunately it was CAKED in batter. Some bites were only Batter, no fish. Batter was also slightly soggy. Coleslaw tasted delicious as well, however it had a lot of sauce on it. Husband got the pork Verde and he said it was "on point." Excellent customer service and views were spectacular, however the tempura batter on the fish brought my overall rating down.
