Thanks , Peg

Came for the salmon and the halibut that did not disappoint, but the highlight of the meal was the double chocolate cake that Peg suggested, that was my belated birthday cake and very similar to the one my wife makes at home. Great!

Oh my!!! Amazing meal... great scenery

If you only have one evening out in Fairbanks this is your restaurant... you can’t miss with either the salmon or halibut. Add the Apple salad with spiced walnuts. Just a fantastic meal.
