moderately well-lit, two level restaurant right at the Harbor, can watch all the sea vessels coming and going. Even got to see an otter float around on its back.

Located within the Best Western Hotel. Touts itself as among Alaska's best, but falls short.

Decor: casual maritime.

Don't come too close to closing time (10pm); was basically ignored by 2 waitstaff while at the hostess' post. Was noticed finally when another waitress went to attend to someone else's bill. After that tho, service was exemplary.

The calamari was okay, not rubbery nor was the breading too heavy or oily, the clams were also good, tasted fresh, not sandy or gritty, but altogether very bland.

The restaurant is really a local favorite, known for their seafood and pasta, but I don't think those dishes were the basis for their reputation.

Breakfast was passably good. Cost: $15 for hotel guests, and as was often mentioned, it's $25 otherwise. Doesn't seem worth it. Pretty standard fare: scrambled eggs, toast, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, bacon, sausage, cold cuts of turkey and ham and various juices. The friendly waitress was not enough to make this a Good Value.

Kudos to the restaurant tho for posting all their comment cards, for smack in the middle was one clearly printed "Tourist Ripoff".

Recommended for the traveler who just wants a bite to eat before going to bed, for the weary who doesn't want to forage for food in a new town, and also for those waiting to go on a Stan Stephens cruise; their office is out the back door just to the left.

Would I eat here again: yes, I'd give it another try. Perhaps this just wasn't a wow kind of day, but the place really is quoted by the locals as a place they go for some fine dining.
