Reviews Summary

Red Lantern Steak & Spirits receives praise for its excellent service and the unique atmosphere, with many guests highlighting the attentiveness of the staff and enjoying specialty cocktails like the 'Northern Lights'. While the fish and chips are generally well-regarded, some reviews mention the fish not being cooked to their preference and some dishes being on the salty side. The accuracy of the online menu has also been noted as an issue.

"Seriously, amazing. The pretzel was huge! And soo good. Loved the atmosphere, our server was so nice. The restaurant parking lot was at the back of the hotel, just in case you don't want to walk through the hotel to the restaurant."

Melissa Rodriguez

"Great service and very pleasant and efficient wait staff (however, when we had eye contact, the bartender did look a bit hostile but no matter, we were not seated at the bar).

Now, on to the FOOD….

We ordered the fish and chips, which came in the classic deep golden hue. The batter fried coating on the fish was cooked to perfection. However, the fish inside was not as cooked as I would like and leaned toward a medium versus my preferred well done. The fish was not the pure white flaky I so love.

The fries were golden and delicious. They came in their own cute fry basket that actually looked like a miniature metal deep fry basket.

Malt vinegar and ketchup were our side orders— nothing else was needed.

On the whole the meal did not disappoint and I like that you can choose between two pieces of fish and three. We ordered three and split the meal and that was perfect!

The atmosphere was fun and electric. It was nicely crowded and vibrant with travelers sharing stories of their adventures. It was fun to dine with people at the end of their trips and those at the beginning—-everyone seemed to be traveling with Holland America. I did not meet any local diners.

One weird thing was that the water tasted strongly of chlorine or done other chemical additive—it was tap water so it may just be the way the water tastes in Fairbanks— up to that point, I’d been drinking bottled water. We ordered another beverage instead."

Tara Dunlop

"I was too tired to go find anything else and found the food was actually pretty good. They have a char grill so grilled food has a good char taste to it. I had the steak fritz, I asked for medium but was more med-rare but it was good as the sirloin steak was pretty tender and tasty. Ceasars salad was really good. People next to me had the salmon and fettuccine, can't say how it tasted but they looked good and the peice of salmon was pretty good size. The place it self isn't that exciting and service was OK.

By the way, the menu that is linked ,as of the writing of this review, is quite out of date."
