    Food was delicious, waiter was accommodating for our diner with a food allergy and the views from our table were breathtaking. The noise was quiet but we ate at 4pm on a Monday. I imagine it gets noisy as the night goes on and the place fills up.

    We greatly enjoyed our dinner at Rustic Goat. Calamari was crispy, Bruschetta (deconstructed) had a nice balance of rich burrata and sweet peaches/balsamic reduction. The Margherita pizza had bright tasting tomatoes and fresh basil. The Espresso Crusted Tenderloin was perfectly prepared. Service by Jam was lovely; she was highly professional, personable, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

    This was a phenomenal eating experience in Anchorage! We’ve been searching for that unique, flavorful, I would give my right arm for that food experience here. This. IS. IT!!!! We are every single bite of our food, from the appetizer to the dessert. Every course was full of flavor and gorgeously plated. To make our experience even better, Raven was a wonderful server! She was knowledgeable about the menu, very kind, and attentive. She also perfectly timed our courses. We weren’t rushed through any course, and we were given time to enjoy each dish.

    Great service, decent food but not what was described on the menu. Example - Shrimp Scampi, had popcorn shrimp, spaghetti noodles ( not pappardelle, which was described), too many roasted red tomatoes and no wine/garlic sauce and was $31. The same with the Peach Prosciutto Bruschetta, not as described. It was served cold and was a Caprese. My husbands burger and fries was very good. The restaurant needs some elbow grease in the cleaning department - the windows and the chandelier.

    We had a terrific dinner at the Rustic Goat. Great ambiance. We were seated upstairs and our server Hana was outstanding. She made a recommendation for us to try the nachos and we did! They were fantastic! I should also mention she gave us great service. I wish we would’ve found this restaurant before our last night we were in Anchorage as I would’ve come back at least twice. If you only have one restaurant to choose in Anchorage can’t go wrong with the Rustic Goat. Reservations are recommended!

    Really cool restaurant with great views and delicious food. We were a little disappointed in the portion size and cook on the calamari starter (small and rubbery), but the mains and dessert were on point. it is a bit chilly and noisy so plan accordingly and definitely ask for a table with a view on the second floor!

    we had a delightful meal. The food was great. We both ordered salads. Mine the Ceasar and his the one with fruit nuts and fresh veggies. Both salads were fresh and the lettuce was crispy-crunchy. The dressings were perfect. Not heavy or skimpy. His main course was the shellfish with a little kick to the spices/sauce/broth. I chose the mushroom pizza. If you like alfredo sauce you will like this pizza. The pizza had big slices of mushrooms and the cheese was gooey and stringy. Just how I like it. The beer selection is one of the reasons we choose this restaurant. Usually, the menu offers different adventures for the pallet. One of the beers was rich in texture and fruity and the other was chocolately. Yum! Dessert was the little doughnuts covered in sugar accompanied by two dipping sauces. Even the coffee was perfect. The server was friendly and able to answer questions about product choices. I would highly recommend this restaurant and its food. If you prefer not to wait make your reservation on line it's easy and worthit.

    This place has everything going for it and it’s clear they intend to do it right. The only criticism was that our scallops were overcooked. This is a trend we are finding in Alaska, though, that proteins are overdone in general. Please let truly fresh ingredients shine, if that’s what you are offering.

    The Rustic Goat in Anchorage, AK is a must-try spot! Terrific service, pretty building, tight parking. We two shared the smaller portion* of Drunken Clams & Sausage** (Manila clams, reindeer sausage, Andouille sausage, fingerling potatoes, Mama Lil's peppers, red pepper flakes, white wine cream sauce) and the smaller portion of Rustic Goat Nachos*** (Cuban pulled pork, candied jalapeños, mozzarella, caramelized onions, tomatoes, cilantro, spicy chipotle crema) and were just the right amount of full after devouring every last bite. Absolutely amazing depth of flavor in both dishes. The Drunken Clams & Sausage was served with a flat-bread--a more traditional bread would've been nice to soak up the delicious white wine cream sauce, but less healthy for us! *Larger portion serves 3-4 people! **GF version available! ***GF!
