The Deck at Lake Hood - Anchorage, Alaska

Bethany Munden

We ordered a mojito and a virgin mojito, but both drinks contained dead, moldy mint leaves. The pesto penne pasta was overly oozy oily at the bottom and tasted mediocre. It was extremely hot outside, and the restaurant lacked umbrellas for the tables. Next to our table was a slop bucket filled with fruit slices, which attracted numerous mosquitoes. When we went to check out, two other tables moved inside and jumped ahead of us in line. The view of the lake was beautiful. If I were to return, I would only order a beer and bring my own umbrella for the table.

The Mother's Day brunch was ran very poorly. You were given one hour to eat buffet style, yet seated a half hour into your hour. Food was amazing though.

The deck is one of the most gorgeous places to eat in Anchorage. Amazing food with beautiful views of the floatplanes landing and taking off. The staff is wonderful and helpful also!

I had the halibut and chips along with the Denali Brewing red. The food and drink was great and I loved watching the seaplanes coming and going. Definitely a unique, must do experience.

Where even to begin? It was seat yourself, so we did. We looked at the menus on the table and had made our choices. When a server finally came over to get a drink order, he said we had the wrong menu---the deck was a limited menu not the same as inside. So he took our drink order and we looked over the new menus. Made our choices. He came back with drinks. We ordered. Over 20 minutes later he came back and said they were out of what 3 of 4 of us had asked for. He had to go find menus. Brought back them back and we quickly reordered. About two minutes later, a different person brought out the 4th person's food and what the original server thought we might have wanted as a substitute (it wasn't). They took EVERYTHING back. Another ten minutes passes and they bring 2 meals. We wait five minutes, grad a different person and ask for the other meals. Finally everyone has food.

The bisque was cold and had a film like old pudding on the top. The two taco dishes were completely different levels of spicy.

Took forever to get the check. Once it came, they misplaced a credit card. Luckily found it so no harm, no foul.

We will not be returning for many reasons ?

The food and atmosphere were amazing. We had appetizers and drinks, and we enjoyed them a lot. The service was non-existent for a while, and we ended up getting our own refills on water. Watching the planes was a lot of fun.

Food was absolutely terrible. The $10 “Bavarian Pretzel” was tiny, dry and obviously microwaved, the Caesar salad was drenched in dressing, the turkey club creepy and cold and the fries were also dry and probably microwaved.

While it is a very beautiful place to eat, the staff was slow to respond in every way. They have many dishes on the menu. I ordered the hot and sour halibut which was so deep in sauce it was all you could taste. For the price of each plate, up in the mid $20s, one would think that real silverware would come with the food. They serve these dishes with flimsy plastic ware. If you want very good food, go elsewhere. We were dissatisfied!
