Food was Very good a bit pricey

(Translated by Google) Gorgeous place. Especially interesting is the idea with the windows on the water where the seaplanes land. (Original) Шикарное место. Особенно интересна задумка с окнами на воду куда приземляются гидропланы.

Jana Weaver

Great service, good food, and fun watching the sea planes and and take off on the lake.

Peggy Strahler

Fabulous!!! Great food a must see place on the water with float planes and loaded with history and mounts galore inside!

Yuriy Maslovskiy

The longest wait I ever experienced at a restaurant. Came in with a group of 7 people at 7:30p, waited 40 minutes for a table, then 1.5 hours for food. Food wasn't that great besides mac and cheese. Stuffed halibut, fillet mignon, scallops, prime rib, all were sub par. They complemented us with desserts, which was a nice touch but the wait was extremely long.

horrible food had breakfast and it took a while. ordered biscuits and gravy. biscuits were premade loaf style and they toasted it. it was stale. the eggs benedict came with scambled eggs and not poached eggs and over salted. the english muffin came toasted but saturated with greese. hollandaise sauce clumped and not fresh

Jordan Couture

Fine dining falling flat. Menu is priced at fine dining prices but the food just does not live up to the cost.

I loved it here! The food was great and the servers were soo sweet and very thoughtful, really loved the view of the lake as well, it's a little pricey but worth it

Brian G

Great atmosphere, and drinks were EXTREMELY strong, and mind you, I am not complaining... I had 2 drinks, the house old fashioned and and special cosmo.. Recommended if your looking to catch a quick buzz after a busy day!

Mark Boodee

Boys the server was #1. The King Crab and shrimp omelette was great!

Definitly dressy very high end 70$ a plate.

Mel Levangie

Delicious food ♡ friendly staff, Awsome view of the lake =)

The food at this establishment was awesome, so were the drinks. I single plate of nachos can feed a group of four, so be prepared.

Terry Terry

They had a wonderful club sandwich and the restaurant had a splendid view of the aerodrome!

scott zhou

Great breakfast!

王衠

Perfect lake view! Food is good, and price is acceptable.

Michaela Schuegner

Great view on a lake which serves as a waterplane airport. Nice outside patio. Great selection on beer. Waitstaff is very friendly and comes from all over the world. I had halibut which was delicious. Live music in the evenings

Timothy Rhoden

Food was mediocre. The price ridiculous. Staff was friendly and the waterfront view spectacular.

Michael Owens

Great food and amazing staff

Walbert Schulpen

Great place to watch the float planes in summer.

Camille Lowery

Rose McCormack

We come here for the best Berry cobbler. It’s my 10-year old girl’s favorite place in Anchorage.

Gabriel Prout

Views are nice, overlooking the world's busiest sea plane base. Food is hit or miss depending on what you get. (The burgers look like a solid choice). Service is friendly and attentive. Would come again and try a burger.

Dustin Brentlinger

Very good food with excellent service. The menu is pretty basic.

Kim Uttley

Good breakfast and fun to watch planes take off right outside while you eat. Then after you can walk out onto the pier for a better view.

Jim Parker

Very good food

Bob Brogan

Great views of the lake and great food. Try the Halibut

Greg Olah

Great views watching seaplanes take off and land. Drinks are bout average priced, but done well.

It's not called the flying machine anymore. Now it's the Loose Moose. It's average, but the view is great on a nice day outside!

Dave Clark

I was with a guest and ordered the Iditarod breakfast. He ordered a meal and something to go. 28 minutes later, a waiter came by, dropped two plastic bags and left. Everything was packaged to go. My eggs were not as ordered. The waiter ignored attempts to speak to him to fix the order. While waiting to pay, waiters were going to the supervisor asking what table was where, bringing food that was rejected by tables and showing customers a receipt and asking if it was theirs. The bacon, eggs and potatoes were ok, I couldn't eat the pancakes as they got cold by the time I got to where I was going. I had seen similar reposts from others and was trying to be hopeful. Next trip, eating elsewhere.

Grant Hartwig

Cool place to go in the summer. I am giving it a 4 because of the awesome views. The staff can be slow and the food is more of a 3 but that being said I still take people here in the summer cause of the float planes and awesome patio.

Randy Freese

Alaska feel. Great food and close to airport.

Elizabeth

Very very slow service. Mediocre food. Overpriced.

Dani Knight

We loved our meals and was happy to have found it. When you're on vacation, it's always difficult to find good local gems.

William Holland

Got the goldminers sandwich. Was actually quite good but not $15 good.

Jared Last

Nice outdoor setting

Josh Bowman

Definitely the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Ordered nachos for 15$ and they came out as a tiny plateo chips with maybe 2 oz of cheese on top. We asked the manager about it and she offered to give us 15 percent off. They were super rude and defensive about their very sub par food. Never eat here.

Mike Lehmann

Awesome breakfast. I can't say enough about how good the breakfast was here. My wife and I were in the hotel it is attached to and ended up going here every morning for breakfast. Sourdough pancakes are amazing.

phyllis griffin

This was such a great meal! The food was fantastic! The wine pairing was unparalleled. Thank you for providing a wonderful dining experience

Giacomo Bossa

Nice way, good service, good food and good distance from the airport. They will be very friendly with luggage.

Mike Carroll

Great breakfast and service was very good. Dinner was just so so.

Bobby and Sally Bobby and Sally

We stayed at the hotel this restaurant is in so that made it super convenient. The food and service were very good and the views from the restaurant were awesome

David Snuttjer

The location is very good as it overlooks the bay where water planes land and take off. But the prices are very high, service is slow, and the food is mediocre.

Rich E

Bottom line up front, under staffed, slow, poor food, and not a good value for the price of you are looking for breakfast. Only nice thing I can say about it for breakfast is that it has a nice view. It went downhill from the moment we sat down. 10 minutes sitting at the table before we could order drinks. At 9 AM on a Saturday (a peak morning for a hotel) they were already out of diet soda. Ordered the Captain's Plate with French Toast, choice of meat, 2 eggs, and fruit cup. For $17, it came out with 2 eggs, a really small fruit cup, a single slice of French toast (seriously, how much does a slice of bread dipped in egg cost that one would think a single slice is all that one needs), and bacon strips that were so over cooked that they crumbled like dust when you picked them up. We asked for new bacon and what came out was not completely burned, but was basically greasy jerky and still not good bacon. As for service, staff seemed annoyed when asked for anything. Overall, there are better breakfast options in town, with more food, lower prices, and nicer staff.

Casey Steil

Beautiful view, fast and caring service, delicious food. Highly recommend.

Rob Nelson

Breakfast was delicious, exactly what I ordered and came quickly. They still had Iditarod souvenir shop open as well.

Fabian Bryant

The crab and scallop Mac and cheese was amazing

lionel antunes

Menu looks great, and so is the view. The food sucks - omelet is dry, bfast potatoes over loaded with cumin. At least the fruit is fresh and sour dough toast nicely buttered. Service was very slow, about an hour to get lukewarm food. Would not come back if I lived here.

Ben Aufforth

Loved the food quiet place with a nice view

Robert Johnson

Service was great food was okay

Kathy McDaniel

Nice view of Lake Hood, plus a very good American breakfast of scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, sour dough toast and jam, fresh fruit, herbal tea and honey. Since I spent one night at the Lodge...breakfast was included! Great waitperson and nice ambiance.

Chad Paalman

Great service & wonderful food! Cool view too of the seaplanes!

Pepe

It's good

lisa stephens

I have received the best of service here. Maybe a little on the expensive side and could use a little bit more salt & pepper but I think that is a personal preference more than anything else. The food was made perfectly. Temperature ingredients and style. I enjoyed myself I sat there and watch the planes flying in and out on the water and had excellent for new service. I highly recommend eating here to anyone who is in town. Local should come as well.

Tailor Made Pizza

Poor service and food

Perrin Larton

Good dinner. Be careful of your seating...if it's sunny it's quite bright.

Mako 3 Ley

Rico pero caro, recomiendo los tacos de camarón.

Romy Seiders

My favorite place to go in the summer. I love watching the float planes take off and land, and love meeting visitors from around the world in the lounge. If you haven't been here I highly recommend it. There's an outdoor seating area as well. Great food, great drinks, and a great atmosphere.

John Farese

Great food...apps...bartender was friendly...entertainment was good

Rick Peshel

Great food, awesome service and amazing view of the lake! Why not five stars? Loud! My lady and I come here all the time for the food, but do not try having an important conversation. Loud atmosphere will find you hollering across the table. That said, if you looking for food and a view, one of the best places in town.

Page Kirkpatrick

Cool place to watch the hybrid planes land and take off, but it's very expensive to eat there.

Rob Johnson

Service was great, food was some good to some fair.

Liam Duyvelaar

Not gonna lie, food is great, interior is beautiful, they have a great view of a lake and the planes docked/parked there. Not to mention the service was great, friendly servers! I recommend the Captain's Breakfast!

Bryan Chaisone

Nice place, bit food was subpar.

Momzilla71 Heisler

We went here to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. We had heard that they has good steaks and it aas a nice evening so we thought we would sit out side on the patio overlooking Lake Hood. We were not informed that the menu for outside was much more casual. If you wanted a steak or something other than your basic burger you needed to be seated inside. We tipped our server 5 dollars for the inconvenience and went inside. The service was pretty quick. We ordered the calamari app and the ribeye steaks mes rare. The calamari was tasteless by itself and very rubbery. The dipping sauce made it taste better but it was still impossible to chew. So sad. Our steaks were dropped off at our table by a random server who quickly departed. Upon cutting into our steaks they were bordering on well done. My husband's was slightly less done but still a far cry from mid rare. By the time we got someone's attentiin(ojr waiter never checked in with us) my husband had eaten half of his steak. I was finally able to retyrn mune and was assured that the replacement would be "right out." My husband had been dinished with his meal for a good 10 minutes before I received mine. It was cooked correctly but lacked any flavor and tenderness that you would expect. The company was exceptional so not a total loss of an evening. Our waiter generously and unexpectantly comped our meal. Over all I would say go for a casual dinner and sit on the deck. There are much better places to get a steak in town.

Griffin Hagle

The strength of this place is its view. It’s a beautiful spot to watch floatplanes on Lake Hood. On food quality alone, it earns a three-star rating, with prices on the higher side for very ordinary fare.
