Simon and Seafort's Saloon and Grill

Frommer's Review

Simon's, as it's known, is a jolly beef and seafood grill where voices boom off the high ceilings. On sunny summer evenings, the rooms, fitted with brass turn-of-the-20th-century saloon decor, fill with light off Cook Inlet, down below the bluff; the views are magnificent. The food is consistently good. Besides a nightly list of specials, the restaurant boasts of its macadamia nut-stuffed halibut, but most of the cuisine is simpler -- prime rib, for example. Service is warm and professional, and quick enough to allow time for other evening activities. Children are treated well. To enjoy the place on a budget, order a sandwich and soup for lunch in the well-stocked bar; it's open until 11pm every night. Getting a table in the restaurant at a reasonable hour requires advance planning in peak season or on off-season weekends; call a couple of days ahead.
