"Excellent food, atmosphere, and service at a very reasonable price! Dining at this place was a pleasant surprise.. Never expected such a delicious, fresh food at a remote/less-reachable/seasonal place like Denali.
Many thanks to Nobi (hope I am recalling her name right), for great hospitality and service. She earns 5 stars."

"Wonderful surprise here after leaving a horrible establishment that we walked into right outside Danali Park. So close to the park, everyone should come here instead. Prices reasonable for Alaska. Service and food was hands down spectacular. I had the salmon and capers linguine. My wife had the shrimp linguine with artichokes. One of our boys got the cheeseburger. The other got the chicken alfredo. I really liked the salmon Linguini and my wife really enjoyed her artichoke and shrimp dish. You got to get the wedge blue cheese salad with the entrees that's included. Gabrielle was our server. She was super punctual and courteous. Shasha also served us and was great! Shame are portions were so big cuz the desert looked great too. One of our neighboring tablesl got some nachos that were Alaska sized. They has a special for a tomahawk prime rib that I saw another neighbor table order, it was huge! Wish we had more time at Denali, so we could also eat here again!"
