    The food was excellent as usual. We arrived early and they accommodated us in the bar area for a cocktail. We were seated on time. The service was a tad slow-the server was working hard but had a lot of tables so it took a while to place our order and be served. Overall the quality of the food outweighed the slowish service.

    What a fantastic discovery! From the outside, you might not realize the culinary treasure that awaits within the Ginger restaurant in Anchorage, but stepping through that front door instantly reveals a true gem. We were met with such a warm greeting from the moment we arrived. Our waitress was absolutely incredible; we asked for her recommendations and even trusted her to choose the appetizers for our party of six. She made excellent choices that everyone thoroughly enjoyed! For my main course, the duck was deliciously prepared, and her suggestion of their homemade ginger ale was fabulous – a must-try. As we savored our meal, we all agreed without hesitation that we would definitely come back again. Ginger is truly a wonderful, hidden neighborhood gem that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend!
