I live in Fairbanks and can definetly say that this is one of the best resturants here. I lived in New York City prior to my arrival here. This resturant can stand the test against NY's best. There is live jazz on Friday and Saturday. I am unsure about Sunday. The place is very crowed during this time. I have... more

I asked around town what the best place to eat in Fairbanks was (only in town for one day) and everyone suggested Lavelle's. I went for early dinner and had a great experience. Ordered the lamb dish, with mashed potatoes and veggies- it was so delish. Great drinks. Cute/romantic atmosphere, and fantastic service. My waiter might have been the best... more

My wife and I had dinner at this very fine restaurant following the suggestion of our host in the B and B were we stayed.

The best part about living in Alaska is the... more

Our party of three had a most disappointing experience at Lavelle's in June, 2009. My wife's duck breast was brought to the table at the same time as my duck breast and my granddaughter's pasta dish. The problem: my wife's duck breast was served cold -- not lukewarm but stone cold. It had obviously been frozen and the kitchen staff... more

We have ordered steaks on three different occasions, and they were all three mainly gristle (sp). The other things we've tried are very good. more

We ate at Lavelle's in July, and this restaurant was our first stop after flying all day. All six of us ordered the beer battered halibut with sweet potato fries, and all six of us thought the halibut was well prepared & overall the meal was excellent. more
