A prologue

Since nineteen eighty-eight, we've set the table for first dates and fortieth anniversaries  with the same devotion to flavor, and the same glass of something remarkable.

Chapter I · The Craft

Cooked with
two hands
and thirty-seven years.

A kitchen led by Chef Nancy Alip, plating a menu written by the seasons and the boats. Continental technique. Alaskan pantry. Danish heart.

Chapter IV · The Room

The room is
a gallery.

Our walls are hung with contemporary work from Alaska's most-loved painters, potters and sculptors — curated in partnership with Georgia Blue & Blue Hollomon Gallery, just across the parking lot.

Every piece on the wall is for sale. Ask your server — we'll arrange an introduction.
