Kinley's Restaurant and Bar

I took my 9 year old daughter out to celebrate her accomplishment for music.
We were seated in the bar area - while we were waiting for our food the conversation at the bar increased in volume and several individuals used the F-word along with other curse words.
The waiter spent a profuse amount of time at a table next to us while we waited to ask for bread or our check. My daughter didn’t enjoy the food and wanted to leave your restaurant so much that she refused to order dessert.

In the past this has been one of our favorite spots for birthdays and special events. However, after this last visit we will probably stop coming here. My daughter expressed how sad she was that our favorite place was now uncomfortable.

Our server was not friendly, gave us our check before we had a chance to order dessert and the halibut on the halibut sandwich was dry.

It was the first time we had been there. The food was wonderful and so was the attention we received from the staff. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks

I went for a light meal with a good friend to catch up. We had the BEST French onion soup and salad. The menu has many other dishes that look great but this is the best soup in town and it is always so quiet and private for good conversation.

The food was tasty and the staff was attentive. The only problem was that it was so loud we couldn't hear each other talking and felt like we had to shout to visit. That's the second time I've gone for dinner and couldn't hear the other person talking. I wouldn't go back for dinner again. I've been there at different times of the day and it's been better.

Food was average, server never asked about food. Very loud and over priced

Very Good food and service the whole time. We would definitely come back again and recommend it.

Ordered Halibut cheeks, an unusual menu item and delicious if well prepared. The entree arrived having been badly prepared in a tempura style batter which was not crisp but instead soggy and tasteless. The waiter never asked if we enjoyed our meal - probably with good reason.

Amazing food as always. Special for the night was amazing! Service was fantastic and very thorough. With the gift cards at Costco it really makes Kinley’s one of the best deals in town!!

This could possibly be the best food in Anchorage. A little noisy, however, wonderful food!!!!

Excellent!

Our server was pretty dull. We were brought the wrong food. Belonged to the table 2 ahead of us. Salad/app brought out @ same time? Food was anazing. Service was sub par.

Was disappointed this time, prior meals had been good, this time the noise level was very bad, and the service was off.

Kinley's Restaurant and Bar is a fantastic value. It serves some of the best fine dining fare in the city at a great value. The quality of food is almost a steal if you can get by at lunch, but the dinner menu is not to be missed. They consistently serve up the best Alaskan beers and have within the last year or two added delicious cocktails to their amazing repertoire. Their cellar includes numerous great wines and a host of some of the best beers from around the world. Whether you are looking for food or drink, you are not going to go wrong with Kinley's.

Good service, great food, on time. good for business lunches, except for noise level can get high.

Great waitress, very attentive staff. Never had to ask for water....very good food. Love to have lunch or dinner at this place. Highly recommend.

My daughter was home for a visit and we elected to dine at Kinley’s before she had to leave. She had her favorite, the halibut cheeks and I had the scallop special. Both were superb and I look forward to another visit. We also had the fresh oysters and these were excellent, coupled wit the salads we ordered. Service was very good, as usual. We had an excellent evening.

We decided on dining “tapas” style since many of the appetizers looked so good! We asked specifically for how we wanted our meal to be coursed out, it didn’t happen that way. The food was pretty good, except for the oysters, which, because we did not have our meal courses correctly, came out last after our hot apps

We had a great time!

I enjoy long-time professional servers & bartenders who obviously like the food industry & give great service...the best in the business tend to go where they are proud to serve the fare, and Kinley's is a great example of this. Our family favs are the tenderloin burger & halibut BLT at lunch, & ahi tuna tacos, lobster ravioli, & halibut cheeks at dinner.

We frequent Kinley’s fairly often and always enjoy good service and tasty food. The last time we were there we were a bit disappointed with our scallops and halibut cheeks as they were under seasoned. Otherwise everything as usual was lovely. Maybe just a touch more of salt please.

I went for the halibut. I am from out of town and was there for a dinner with local friends in about 2012. I had then what was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I’ve been there twice since when visiting Anchorage, including last week. It just hasn’t been quite as remarkable as the first time. May give it another chance. It is definitely a better value than other restaurants that offer fresh fish from Alaska waters.

We got seated immediately. Kyle was a great waiter. Food was yummy. Loved the whole experience.

Second time to Kinley's and it was fabulous!!! We are locals and like to treat ourselves to places that offer a unique atmosphere without being ridiculously over the top. Kinley's hits the spot with a vibrant atmosphere and décor mixed with a phenomenal menu and wine list! Great people, amazing food, and perfect for special occasions!!

Servers were trying to hurry us up, like trying to take my plate long before I finished my meal.

Great food and great service. Do yourself a favor and try this place out.

The food was amazing. The restaurant was so loud we could not hear each other in the dining area. That would be my only criticism.

Service and food

Expanded bar area, chic decor, great menu, and fun beverages. Convenient midtown location. Parking is fine, but can be encroached on from nearby busy pizza joint and rock climbing gym.

Food was great. We had out of town vendors visitng . Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

The service was fantastic. I had the red salmon special and it was not only delicious but the presentation was beautiful. The menu also suggests wine pairings with each dish. Great menu selections and daily specials.

The blueberry sorbet served with fresh blueberries was delicious

All around outstanding. Food, service, ambiance. My wife's birthday celebration dinner.
Everyone was professional, courteous, friendly.

We visit Kinley's from time to time, and each time we visit it seems to have improved just a little bit from the last time. Our server was quietly attentive and very helpful. The food was excellent, the wine and drinks delightful, and the ambience very pleasant. Even the window blinds were set so that we saw very little of the car park, but much more of the trees and grass across the road.
My wife is obliged to limit her gluten intake to almost nothing, and there were good gluten-free options available. She enjoyed her starter and main course and was delighted by the dessert. My duck may have been a little undercooked, but that needs to be balanced against the stuffing it contained and having it survive cooking. Overall, it was excellent.
We will definitely revisit Kinley's. In a vibrant and high-quality Anchorage restaurant community, Kinley's is one of the better places to dine.

The Filets were done perfectly. The service could not have been better. The bar does an honest pour. We love this place Lunch or Dinner

Great meal with respectable wine options. Next time I will remember to save room for dessert!

Portions seem small

Amazing food, vast drink menu and very friendly and helpful servers! Meals are reasonably priced and they happily accommodated some of our vegan group members among us. Great dining space for groups and also accomodating for kids. Overall a really good find for us for dining in Anchorage. Highly recommend!

Always great here!

Excellent food and service!
