The Crow’s Nest is our go to place for special occasions and this did not disappoint. We had requested a specific table and was seated at that table swiftly. Our server, Gail, was friendly yet professional and the supporting staff was amazing. We will continue to recommend for special occasions

Want a delicious, quiet meal with a fantastic view? Go early! We always enjoy the Crow's Nest, and find the noise level wonderfully quiet when you go early. It's worth it to have a great meal AND have a conversation. Service is great, and the view is the best in Anchorage.

I believe that the Criw's Nest Restaurant is over rated by others. I thought the receptionist was not friendly in greeting me upon arrival. The view was fantastic overlooking Anchorage and this was the highlight of the visit. The food quality was disappointing. I had the venison and it was tough and over cooked. The food was not very warm and it took some time to be served after ordering. Two meals and two drinks with gratuity was $232.00! Ther are better quality restaurants, price points and value elsewhere in Anchorage. Don't get caught up in the hype. I won't be returning.

Ask for the ocean side view, near the bar. The view is the best from this side. If you can- Request to be served by David L. He is hands down one of the best servers ever and so attentive, nice, and gives attention to detail.

We always love the risotto. It changes often and is as good as what you can get in Milan. The cocktails are made to perfection. Always balanced and consistent every time. I love the Old Fashioned Date and the Huckleberry sour. Excellent wine list too. It is the premier place to go in Anchorage.

Checked in a little early, was able to get seated right away. Servant was friendly and attentive. Food quality was OK. Feels like I could have gotten the same angus steak at Texas Roadhouse for less than $50. The experience was great since we do not dine this way frequently.
