Frommer's Review

The dining room of the fine dining section overlooks the Chena River near the airport from a series of tiered levels, each with well-separated tables. The menu includes a nice range of simple to more ambitious selections; highlights include the appetizer of spicy crab-stuffed mushrooms with a thick, chowderlike sauce; the salmon Caesar salad; and a lunch of halibut and chips. Portions are quite large. Sunday brunch is big and delicious. Service, in my experience, is not always perfect, however, and the entire restaurant is a bit dated. The deck is open for dining in summers from 11am to 10pm, with an inexpensive but limited bar menu offered from 2:30pm to 5pm. It's a pleasant choice on a sunny day, less so in cool or rainy weather, when it remains in operation behind plastic.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
