We ordered a Salmon Dish and a Seafood Lovers Dish. They were both very good and tasty. The service there was astounding and applaudible! They treated us how guests should be treated in that type of atmosphere. The view was also beautiful. It was about $24+ each entree. The amount we paid for the bill was well worth the food... More

We were looking for a great economical bay view restaurant and found it. Our waiter was one of the friendliest we ever met. She was very accommodating in letting us change the menu item to what we wanted and even suggested a cheaper option. For the view and higher class atmosphere this was definetly a great pick. More

New owners are doing a great job here. Definitely try one of their signature cocktails, and don't miss the lemon ricotta cheesecake! The menu has a nice variety: steak, seafood and burgers, but also some unique offerings such as a poblano goat cheese appetizer and pork carnitas. The bar has a good selection of beers on tap from Alaskan breweries.... More

We thought it was going to be a micro-brewrey pub because of the stainless steel vats in the window, so needless to say, we were very under dressed! It is probably the nicest restaurant in all of Seward though. Great food and service, but you do pay for it! More

So, for one of our four nights, we ate here. Not as popular as Ray's, and not as good, either. But not horrible. More

We visited the Chinook Waterfront Restaurant in Seward, AK after a day cruise to Kenai Fjord. We both had the Halibut sandwich which were delicious, followed by caramelized apple pie with ice cream which was REALLY good. The restaurant in on the harbor so we were able to watch the moon rise from behind the mountain and over the harbor-... More

Went for dinner and had no wait. We were seated by the windows with a great view of the small boat harbor! The place was clean (no trace of sticky tables mentioned in previous review), service was prompt. I had seared halibut, my husband had steak & king crab legs. The halibut & steak were excellent, the crab legs were... More

This is the very definition of a "View Restaurant" - even on a cool rainy day with the mountains mostly obscured, the view of the harbor was outstanding. We watched some commericial fishermen prepare their nets on the back of their boat our entire meal (late leisurely lunch) and it was great entertainment. The food however was just OK. It... More

To be honest, I expected more from this restaurant. The food was fairly highly priced, but I thought ok, I'm going to get some great seafood. Wrong. Worst crab cakes I ever had. I would've rated lower, but I think I just happened to pick the wrong thing off their menu, that's why I gave them 3 stars. More
