Simon and Seafort's Restaurant Review

Appetizers! Signature cocktails! Entrees! Service! Spectacular Views! All 5 star
I had the smoked salmon bisque...Amazing.

Good food, but the highlight for me was how nice and chipper the waiter I had when I was there back on 2/10/20 in the evening. What a good guy.

Such a great place to eat and view such a beautiful landscape. The staff was just the best. The food was so good I had to take a knee.

I went to happy hour for the first time, but it was reasonable and very delicious.

Ordered the oyster appetizer and 12 oz. peppercorn prime rib.

The oysters were fantastic, but the prime rib was one of the worst I've ever had. It had no taste whatsoever except for the overwhelming pepper flavor. One bite would be completely bland, and the next bite tasted like I was eating a spoonful of pepper.

The service was average. Nothing to write home about, but not something that hurt my experience. The views of the water we're awesome. I wish I could have sat there (sat at the bar instead).

Finally, for the price it made it all the more disappointing. For $75 with tip, I am expecting more than an awful steak.

Great food and good drinks. The service was ok as our waitress brought us the wrong drinks twice but all in all a great place.

Recommended with confidence. An Anchorage favorite that never disappoints! Excellent offerings; personable, professional, and welcoming staff.

Wonderful Easter Dinner! The place was full but service was excellent and the food was great. Highly recommend the cappuccino & cheesecake for dessert - yum!

Quaint, Spacious, Fine Dining with Great Service in Anchorage, Alaska. Highly Recommend Brunch, Lunch, Evening Dining!

The food was amazing. I had the clams for the appetizer and the halibut cheeks and mashed potatoes for the entree. Our waiter was very friendly and did a great job. The atmosphere was great as well. Totally recommend to anyone who's looking for some delicious, fresh seafood.

It was a delicious meal with even better service. We had the first king salmon of the season and it was spectacular, as well as the halibut cheeks. We will definitely go there again!

We traveled 2800 miles on vacation and I was so looking forward to have an Alaskan king crab. well do not go here because it is absolutely terrible

Great food nice for a small group or date would recommend anytime

Mooo.... meat was not thoroughly cooked on my burger... kept mooing at me.... it was bad... hopefully it was a one time mistake... btw i do have pictures to prove I am not just making stuff up.

My go to place for all things tasty and happy hour in the bar is great. Gorgeous views of the inlet.

Slightly upscale setting in an office building, and food was well presented if not inspiring.

Top notch dining, amazing views, excellent service.

Awesome view on the bay, delicious food, very good service!

Excellent service, outstanding views, and TERRIFIC food. Only down side was the portion size of the scallops, there were only six (6) small scallops and for the price of the plate there should have been a dozen that size, or nine medium or 6 large!!!

This place is delicious! We love the Sunday brunch. Recommend making reservations beforehand.

Very classy place.
I've made it here once for a work party and had a wide variety of food - all great. Plus free for me

cocktails at simons, get there early get a table by the window. drinks and food a bit pricey, but if you order the fresh fish or crab legs you'll not be disappointed. Chowder is tasty too. The dip and bread appetizers are just that...dip and bread, soaks up alcohol okay, but not very tasty.

The service was very slow...
I ordered a caesar salad, it was so drenched and soggy with dressing that I couldn't eat it! I used to love this place, but it has really gone downhill.

Beautiful views and great atmosphere. Lovely place to have a nice dinner and watch the sun set over the coast.

Don't get the Alaskan sushi roll. Each piece is too big for one bite and the texture is to mushy and creamy with not much flavor. The salmon bisque was good. Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant.

My wife made reservations and she asked for a sea view because it was our 25th anniversary . As soon we arrived the hostess wished us a happy anniversary. When we got to our table it was covered in rose petals. Our waiter, Jason, also wished us a happy anniversary .The food was incredible and everything tasted perfect. Some have said the food is over priced but we found it to be within reason for the environment, atmosphere, and quality of food. And did I mention the service was prefect? Jason was on top of his game. We also received a complimentary dessert. I would highly recommend Simon & Seaforts to anyone visiting the Anchorage area!

Nice restaurant with a great water view in Anchorage (within walking distance of all of the downtown hotels). I highly recommend the crab dip and the ceviche. Very friendly service.

Best find of the entire trip. Would definitely return. The halibut cheeks were awesome!

We went to dinner here with family and it had great views of the water and their food was delicious. Our server was great. We would recommend reservations for dinner as they get pretty crowded but we would definitely go back.

The food here was first class! Appetizers and entrees all included fresh, well prepared seafood seasoned to perfection. There were many dishes on the menu for land lovers and they all sounded delicious, but our party was there for the seafood. The only part of the meal that was less than amazing was the dessert. It was also well made and beautifully presented. It just wasn't creative. The menu consisted of a few common sweets that are easy to enjoy, but also easy to forget.

I went to Simon s for the first time a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it! Everyone at the table got something different and we kept tasting each other s food because every meal was so delicious! I will definitely be back here!

Great place for seafood or steak if you are ready to drop $50 on a plate. Drinks are good but expensive as well. They serve King Crab in the greatest way, you even get butter with a candle below it to keep warm. Good luck with parking, it is downtown so find a place to park and pay. One of my favorites when I have lots of cash.

Both dinners were from the specials and both delicious. My husband had copper red king salmon with blueberry reduction ,potatoes and asparagus. My dinner was seared halibut with king crab over pea and lemon risotto. Spinach salads dressed perfectly as well.worth the price for the food and the view

Just a spectacular dining experience. We were promptly seated and our server was ever present. The Halibut cheeks were tremendous and the Salmon special was incredible. I cant reccommend this restaurant enough. If I had one night to eat in Anchorage, this would be the only option.

We got awesome service. The food is pricey. I am a complete foodie, for me the taste 8/10. The steaks are something that I can pretty much myself at home. Overall experience was good. I'd go back just because the service was good!

Unattentive waitress. Gamey tasting Burger. Not impressed for the prices.

The food is amazing. I recommend the clams and steak salad. Not 5 star because our server was not very attentive.

I am from Iowa on vacation and love beef. This restaurant has an excellent Ribeye! The wife loved the King Crab Legs. Excellent food!

Had a terrific meal here. The blackened rockfish was excellent. One of us had the blackened ribeye, which was also delicious. Highly recommend.

Awesome food. Had the wagyu sirloin and it was pretty good. Tried the blackened halibut from my friend and will get that next time.

This is my favorite brunch place in Anchorage and I really shouldn't tell anyone. It's got the best Inlet view and excellent food and service. What's best for me is that you can always get a table.

Little pricey, but the food was good and it has a beautiful view.

Overall excellence. Nice surprise to find this place in downtown Anchorage. The seafood specials here were to notch. Started with the Alaskan Oysters from Simpson Bay which were quite possibly the best I've ever eaten. They also had king salmon this night which was prepared to a perfect rare over a bed of pesto and potatoes. They also had the halibut cheeks in a nice asiago crust. This place is a definite treat.

As you can probably tell by the empty plates- the food was delicious!

As can be seen by most other reviews this is usually a five star establishment and we have had five star food and service here previously. Last night, my family birthday celebration was not the case. Three out of four of us had no problems with food. My wife went home hungry with her undercooked replacement dinner in a box! On top of that, service which is usually top notch was notably slow as most of the diners seated after us were finishing their meals before ours arrived!

My wife s steak, ordered medium with no seasoning, came mostly well done so we sent it back. The replacement was not fast tracked as promised as we had finished eating our dinners before it arrived. When it finally arrived it was seared rare and heavily salted so she couldn t eat it.

When we sent the first one back our waiter returned with a pictorial doneness chart and tried to convince us (translated, argued with us) that the first one was prepared properly. Who wants to argue with your waiter when the food isn t prepared to your liking? (Especially at these prices!)

All in all my birthday dinner was a bust. My recommendation: still a nice restaurant but get the ($$$$) seafood not the steak and if your waiter is slow call them on it immediately (or ask for Josh). The manager was very accommodating but the damage was done.

Great dinner. The seafood is on point. They had the halibut cheeks on special. It was great. My business compatriot had the crab. The chowder was very good as well. Definately worth a stop if you're up in Anchorage.

Went on the recommendation of a friend and the halibut cheeks were fabulous! If you get nothing but the halibut cheeks and finish it with the baked alaska you'll be able to go home happy.

Food is fantastic. Service is friendly and accommodating.

Got to watch the sun set while enjoying my birthday dinner tonight. The staff was very polite and the food was fabulous

The place is nice with good food, service and drinks. I felt the fish Items were little dry. Else everything was great.

The ambience, the view, the food, and the staff were impeccable! Easy 5 Stars!

I have no idea what I ate here, because my friend ordered for me before I arrived to restaurant. But wss super delicious. Living here in Anchorage over 2 years, this wss first time I visited. Looking forward to take my husband here to enjoy the meal together.
Thank you.

Went there w friends first time for brunch... was upset they didn't honor the buffet menu order from the regular breakfast menu food with good reasonable price

Excellent meal and incredibly beautiful inlet views. Service superior and prices are reasonable for an 'upscale 'business; Cioppino, halibut and the appetizers are a highlight for us.

The food was just okay. DO NOT ORDER THE CALAMARI. The batter was not flavorful and did not stay on. Also the bottom of the plate was covered in grease. I had said something to the waitress, but she just didn t say anything back. I found this place overpriced and overhyped.

Fantastic food! Ask for what's fresh, as it may not be on the menu. Awesome views!

Super classy. Very expensive. Worth it if you can afford it.

Had Norton Bay King Crab legs, wife the Cooper river asking salmon. Delicious!

Great experience during happy hour on a busy Saturday afternoon.

Tried quite a few of their appetizers and their entree etoifole? The dish with seafood and cheesy grits. Yum.

Rotating beer is only $3.

Service was solid given how busy they were.

The view is nice.

The exterior could be more impressive with better signage. Oh well.

I love sitting by the windows ,enjoying conversations and the beautiful scenery

Great view. Friendly bar tenders. Halibut cheeks!

You're in Anchorage and want the best King Crab? Go here!

My wife and I ordered the halibut and it was so good. The service was very good. The desert was very good. All and all, it was very excellent.

Great good great views, friendly staff, and decent prices.

Only had drinks but great drink menu and awesome views and atmosphere
