The Crow's Nest was our most memorable dining experience on our 2 week trip to Alaska. Atop the Captain Cook Hotel, we had an excellent server, view and overall experience. The oysters were from a SE Alaskan source with an incredible huckleberry mignonette sauce. We had fresh Alaskan Halibut perfectly cooked and a side of incredible mushrooms. For dessert a "banana split" with homemade banana ice cream, bruleed banana, chocolate sauce and strawberries. The wine list was extensive, but we appreciated quality wines by the glass. Sophistication in Alaska! Wonderful!

I was disappointed. This was an anniversary dinner for me and my husband. We used a gift card, so at least we didn’t spend our own money. But I left feeling like it was still a waste of someone’s money. I ordered king crab. $155. It was fishy and too salty. I have had king crab before. This tasted like it was in the freezer too long. My husband ordered King salmon. No complaints except it was small and he was still hungry afterward. I won’t go back. There are a lot better restaurants in Anchorage at a better price and better food. Service was fine.

The Crow's Nest, though typically outside my budget for dinner, was a perfect place for our anniversary. The wait staff were amazing, from beginning to end, and the food was exceptional.

Crows Nest Mother’s Day brunch spread never disappoints! From the food to the spectacular views, this is my favorite place to spend Mother’s Day with my family! Our server Emma was attentive and served with excellence! She made our experience here even better with her warm smile and engaging conversations with us. Thank you Crows Nest manager and staff for all you do to make this a special unforgettable day for all the mothers!
