This review is for the Alpenglow Restaurant inside the Grande Denali Lodge we did not stay at the lodge.

The setting is magnificent, the views amazing and the decor very inviting. We sat at the bar and enjoy expertly made craft cocktails as we admired the views, then made our way to a window-side table in the main dining room. Service is what you'd expect at a $$$$ restaurant attentive, amenable, but not intrusive. My black cod entree was superb, as I recall. I only took a star off the review because my partner was disappointed in the salmon he ordered. Said it tasted like frozen salmon you would get in the lower 48. Trust me, we had a lot to compare it with as we had salmon almost every other meal during our 9-day Alaskan trip. Even what we ordered in Anchorage brew pubs was much better. Still, if you are up this was I encourage you to try the Alpenglow at least once.
