Celebrated my mom's 65th birthday here. I let the restaurant know ahead of time and when they sat us, they wished her a happy birthday and thanked her for spending it at their restaurant. Off to a great start! Great care was taken by our server to ensure that everything was perfect. She was super helpful and provided great information to all our questions. The food was amazing, presented beautifully and service was flawless. A beautiful dessert was presented to my mom with no questioning whether she wanted something - of course there was a birthday candle! I was just amazed at how smooth the whole thing went; they really take care of everything. Price was right too.
When booking we didn't realize that this was up the mountain on a tram. We had a drink at the seven glacier bar with the bar staff explaining the glaciers that we could see and then our table had what must be one of the best views I have had for dinner over the mountains and the glaciers.
We selected the chef menu of 5 courses with wine pairing and the food and wine were what I would see in a Michelin, the scallop bisque was unique and as Kelly our server said that was his high bar and it was. The wines were good quality that matched the food. Kelly was very informative and he and his staff are to be commended.
The only downside was after course 2 it slowed and took 2h 15 min for the meal. We booked Thursday at 7pm and a lot or tour buses arrive Thursday and I did see one tour booked for 8pm for dinner at 7 Glaciers. We didn't get any explanation why the food was late except apologizes that it was late. If staff could be specific that would help
I would definitely go again but maybe a 6pm to avoid the tours
The service was outstanding. The food was incredible. I requested a window table because it was our anniversary and they accommodated us with a table with an awesome few of 5 different glaciers. One of the best tables in the restaurant. We will never forget this anniversary!!
Seven Glaciers is midway up Mt Aleyeska. Tram ride up is free with reservations to restaurant. It's an upscale place therefore on the expensive side but it was worth it. We had seafood bouillabaisse, Waygu steak, halibut, king crab legs, & sockeye salmon. Dessert was a baked Aleyeska. All delicious. Service was great. And of course the views - spectacular.
Reservations is a must as we tried calling with no luck and even popped in (it was on our way driving back to Anchorage from Coopers Landing) only to be told they were fully booked days before we booked online.
Glad we were able to enjoy it.
This was the perfect spot to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! The table we were at was equal parts cozy/intimate and spacious (we were at a corner table near the window, perfectly sized for two and far enough away from other tables that we didn't feel cramped). View was spectacular, obviously! Our server, Kelly, was absolutely wonderful--knew his stuff, was attentive, and had a sense of humor that meshed very well with our own. The food and drinks were to-die-for, dessert was beautiful (and equally tasty), everything came out at perfect timing, and it was all around probably the best dining experience I've had. As a lifelong Alaskan, I can't believe it's taken me 28 years to experience Seven Glaciers, but my husband and I will absolutely be back in the future!
The views where amazing. We tried to push back our reservation and where told they where fully booked. We where seated right away and waiting 20 minutes with no one approaching us before we went and asked for manager. We where then given a waiter right away but at a place this nice and expensive that shouldn't happen. Once we "found " our waiter he was very nice but obviously had too many tables. I would skip the dining experience next time and just take team up for the views.
We arrived as participants in a Royal Caribbean cruise, so it was a special occasion for us. Our 4 middle & high school'ers sat apart from us and were treated with the same fine care and courtesy as we adults were. The food was extraordinary, as was the service and atmosphere. Loved the view. Please thank your wonderful chef and our servers - Joli and Todd - for taking such good care of us. A bit pricey, but we all agreed the experience was worth it. We'd be back in a second if we lived nearby. A real treat!
Poor check in: at 8.12 pm told that we r early and our table is not ready so Please wait (arrogance). Then messed up kids meal with 25 mts delay to get kids meal while adults finished their meal & hungry child waiting unnoticed by staff. Me & my wife had to share our cutlery which was also unnoticed. We did not complain. All this was unnoticed & no apologies for ruining our dinner. Only reason people come here is for view, I GUESS.
Food was good but not great. The server was not attentive and disappeared for long stretches of time. The pace of the meal was much too slow. Beignets were more like cinnamon donuts from Dunkin Donuts than a real beignet. Still, you can't beat the view!! We would return but would hope for better service.
They pride themselves on their service and made sure to have is say everything we wanted and they would pace everything, which is fine. Then they brought everything together with cocktails after food came and I had to ask for things several times. They were also insistent about how the chef thinks should be prepared-also fine. Then everything was not how they insisted everything should be prepared. It was all well done anyway.
None of this would be a crime but this restaurant was phenomenally expensive. Like a place you go after a major life event.
I would stay away.
Outstanding food and very unique - one of my all time favorite restaurants. Have been here four times now (always when we visit Alyeska) and each time the food and service has been exceptional. Have done the chefs tasting menu several times - always great especially with the wine pairings which are always on point. Highly recommend! And don't miss the scallop bisque!
Extremely over-rated. Food was acceptable but in no way worth the pricing. They were finally able to find and bring my third choice of wine as first two not available. Tram ride ascending was filled with dogs and descending filled with sweaty hikers. Service was reasonable. As the saying goes, it will be a rather cold day in he-- before I ever return to this establishment. I have had better food, wine and service in Anchorage at several different restaurants.
Overall I was a little disappointed with my experience. This is a destination restaurant, you come here for the experience and on that level it was a great. The service was outstanding, the food had good presentation, but was not at the level I would expect. The Prawns were a joke, baby shrimp. Very disappointing. I understand it is an upscale destination restaurant but you should still give quality food an emphasis. The bisque was also not acceptable.
