Went on a Sunday early evening. Sat right down and really enjoyed the "shave your own cheese off a 20# brick" as a free app. UNIQUE. Waitress was a doll; funny, dry, and personable. Food was S A L T Y. Too bad as we really liked the place. Would definitely go back for a second try though.

Great pub feeling with chefs preparing your meal at the bar. They have a giant cheese wheel at the other bar that you can just go up in chop yourself off a piece of cheddar cheese and munch on it while you wait for your meal.

Served very tasty soups and Alaskan seafood dishes. Crowded and noisy at Saturday lunchtime with nearby market activities probably contributing to crowd, but worth wait for table. Service was quick and businesslike. Recommend for good lunch value in downtown Anchorage.

We stopped in for lunch. We shared a bowl of steamer clams and a plate of fried oysters. I loved the both, but my wife did not care too much for the oysters as she felt they were a bit too crispy. This is a nice little bar type atmosphere with good service, good food and fair prices. They even have a huge chunk of Tillamook cheese on the counter which you are welcome to go grab some when you feel like it. The selection of beers was pretty good as well. This is a great place to stop for lunch.

This is a crowded restaurant with a dive-bar ambiance, my type of place. Prices are very reasonable, given the high quality. We are on an extended RV trip through the US, Canada and Alaska and I make it a point to sample the fish and especially fish and chips wherever we stay. I didn't start out our trip liking halibut but now I am a big fan. We arrived during dinner hour and had to wait a while, grabbing the first available seats at the food preparation counter. This prep bar is a great place to socialize as I struck up conversations, first with an Australian farmer and his wife and then with a Delta stewardess from Nashville on layover. Echoing other reviewers, this is a very good place to sit as you watch the chefs scramble to keep up with the orders, expertly preparing your food as you wait. But you won't wait for long after Rodney, one of the chefs, takes your order. My wife ordered the halibut special with risotto and I ordered halibut fish and chips. I watched the chef prepare a risotto special, placing sautéed vegetables and risotto on the plate, followed by a beautiful piece of halibut and sauce. As I began to salivate, wishing that were my order, Rodney took the plate and placed it before my wife. I was a lucky man as my wife, a putative vegan (heh, heh) shared a good portion of this halibut with me. It was so delicious. My halibut fish and chips arrived, both with large portions covering the plate. I dove in and bingo, again delicious. This halibut and chips was the best I have had so far on our RV voyage. Fish and chips with a good pale ale on tap. Now that's living. Tips were in order for both the waitress and the cook staff.
