Simon and Seafort's Restaurant Review

Food was amazing!!! I had the Alaskan Sockeyed Salmon with beans and potatoes and the desert was baked Alaskan I think.

I give both 2 thumbs up.

Wonderful staff and fun environment. If you would like to go for the view I recommend going in the day time. At night its pitch black and you cant see the inlet. GREAT drinks expecially the lemon drops.

Come here every year from Florida, have never been disappointed food and service A-1

Good food and service, some of meals are kind of pricey but they aim to please

Great experience here. Get there early to try to be seated by the windows and watch the sunset while you eat. Attentive service and spectacular food. Must come on your trip.

Wonderful experience for my wedding anniversary, thank you.

The atmosphere is fantastic as well as the food. Many seafood options (which I recommend). The view out the window is stunning especially during a sunset. Service has always been good and drinks are great as well.

Was looking forward to dining at Simon's based on the reviews of great food and view. Set a reservation for 8, with a note requesting a window table. Arrived to a table in the back corner with a view of mirrors and the emergency exit. Now enjoying a meal at 49th State.

The wagyu sirlon was amazing! It was topped some lime peel shavings which gave it a great rest! We were also lucky to be there to partake of halibut cheeks which were tender and delicious! Fantastic experience!

Service took a very long time. I was a bit disappointed since it was a lunch appointment. Food was good.

Very nice and delicious food, good place to go and eat during the holidays

Great service and great food! Had the filet mignon and Alaskan King crab legs, both were excellent!

Simon & Seafort's was a off da hook experience....!
From the hostice to the Bar staff to the food & view....
I give big propa to this place...
Make a reservation....&.Enjoy....

Excellent wait staff! Perfect service! The food is pretty great as well. One of the better restaurants in Anchorage. Save this for one of your meals when the weather is nice. Spectacular coastal views from most tables in both the restaurant and bar. Choose dishes that feature local caught seafood. It is very fresh.

Not 4.5 restaurant. The interior setting and view of the bay was great and we were feeling pretty happy until our server tried to up-sell a club membership. After saying weren't interested, he dropped a brochure on the table and suggested we read it. We never touched it and it remained on the table the whole dinner right where he left it. Classy move S&S.

We had ordered wine at the same time as dinner, but it came halfway through our meal. My prime rib was excellent, and so was our appetizer (halibut cheeks) but my wife's scallops and risotto was terrible (salty and under-cooked). The Baked Alaska was the worst we've ever had. The cake was stale and dry as dirt. For supposedly being a high-end restaurant, it has a long way to go yet.

This is the best restaurant I ve ever been to. It was so busy and the food came out very quickly. Everything was absolutely delicious. The wait staff was incredibly friendly too. Can t wait to go back!

Intimate and elegant seafood restaurant with lovely views of the Bay. The food was quite good.

Hungover or not- Simon's bloodys on Sunday morning are ritual. Best bloodys in Anchorage. The bartenders are all fantastic. Food is always great and french onion soup is a favorite.

Thanks to Louise who suggested it! Wonderful lunch!

Nice bar with an gorgeous view. Excellent food and drinks.

French onion soup or french dip sandwich for lunch is just right and affordable. Anything you get out of the dinner menu is also delocious. Only place me and my wife go for oysters.

Foods really good and it's got a great view over Cook Inlet

Great atmosphere! I had the sea scallops and king crab risotto. My boyfriend had the wagyu steak. The meal was delicious and beautiful. The service was great. I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful view! Delicious food and excellent service!! Highly recommended

Had a very nice dinner with local friends here. My fish was great.

Waitress was fantastic. Amy was attentive and quick. she knew the menu very well and the specials and was able to rattle everything off. Disappointed with the lobster bisque. Nice flavor but only four small little chunks of lobster were in there. Crab sandwich he's nice flavor but nothing spectacular. I've been there for the crab legs and the prime rib and both were outstanding. I should stick with what I like.

The only thing I disliked was how loud the bar was, but it's a bar at happy hour. I ordered from their signature cocktail list, so I didn't get an actual happy hour drink, but it might have been the best cocktail I've ever had. My date and I ordered the steak tips and the brioche burger and both were absolutely delicious. As soon as I have the opportunity, I will be returning!

Always at the top of the list for date nights. great service and the halibut always hits the spot!

I found some really good food here. You don't have to get the expensive dishes in order to have a nice meal. It can be really expensive depending on what you order, so keep an eye out if you care about costs.

My husband and I were craving a good seafood restaurant and settled on Simon and Seaforts. It had a good variety of dishes and they seemed reasonably priced. Double win.
After struggling to locate the restaurant for a good ten mins, of which we drove circling the building it s in, we arrived. So for those choosing this restaurant for the first time... it s inside the hotel to the left of the abandoned building and parking lot. The sign announcing it, is very small, and easily overlooked.
While our server was extremely pleasant and went out of her way to make us feel welcomed, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was strange. They only keep the bar open, with a limited menu, before dinner time. Which is fine, but we wished we had known that... the two items we preselected the night before were not included in the happy hour menu. bummer. They also do not properly staff for this in between time, Our server was visibly in the weeds. It is not her fault but it really does affect your overall experience, when you can tell your server has a million other things to do than refill your water. Again not her fault, she was amazing and really did go above and beyond.
Now for the food. It was delicious! We ordered the spinach and crab dip for an appetizer. So much flavor. And the perfect ratio of bread and dip. Would highly recommend this, and I m thankful our server did for us.
I ordered the fish and chip happy hour entree. For $9 it was a great deal! Just enough to feel comfortably full, but don t expect leftover, this entree comes with two pieces of fish.
My husband ordered the open face crabby melt., I had a small bite and I would definitely order it on our second visit. It was borne creamy and savory and very crabby!
Overall I had a good experience at Simon & Seaforts. While I enjoy the incredibly cheap happy hour food prices, I feel they come with a trade off. The service was not as good as it could have been do to understaffing and I feel that was related to it being an offtime. I would definitely come again, but maybe this time during normal dinner hours.

Good food. But Over-priced. We had the Halibut cheeks which was OK, Salmon was good. The drinks were good too. We enjoyed the table by the window which had a great view of the Inlet. We had a reservation however we were made to wait for another 15-20 mins or so, but I guess they were way too busy that evening.

Concierge at Hilton recommended Simon & Seafort's as the best sea food in Anchorage. Can't say if that is true but it was very good. Excellent service, presentation, and food. Got the berry salad and silver salmon with baked Alaska for dessert. Everything was excellent.

Always A Great Meal, Friendly Staff including the same guy that served us almost 4 years ago.... and We Always Spend Way More Than We Expect To! Be Prepared! $$$$ but Worth A Date Night With The True Love of Your Life! Thanks Simons!

We loved Simon's so much we went 2 nights in a row. The first night, we had reservations and sat in the dining room with a great view. We were greeted with rose petals on the table for our anniversary. Everyone who talked to us wished us a More

Great food, great views, just all around fantastic.

Wonderful menu, great specials, and delicious dessert!

Halibut dishes and the chowder were excellent. Great service and view. Nice ambiance.

The waiter was on his first day, but he could have used additional training. He forgot my coffee and was very slow to non-existent on refills. Overall, food was 4 stars, scene was 5 stars, and service/training was 1 star.

One of our summer favorites when forced to visit los anchorage.

Good food but service makes cannot deserve five stars

Fresh Alaskan seafood, expert service, expensive. While I enjoyed the salmon, I've had just as good at home

Every time I have been here the food has been good and so was the service. Pretty cool place to hang out and good view of the inlet.

Was here for my 15 year wedding anniversary and they took good care of us and the food was on point.

Can't beat the dishes here! And excellent service!!!

Food was beyond excellent. Definitely worth the taste for the price.

Incredible!!! Beautiful view of Cook Inlet, marvelous food and even better service! Highly recommended!

Amazing views of the bay - sunset is the right time to come here! Their normal meals are on the pricey side, but if you come during happy hour the cost is much more moderate.

this has got to be the best happy hour in town. skip the long waits between 3-6 and head straight up the saloon for excellent appetizers at nearly half the price of their regular menu items. the sweet potato fries and the BBQ sauce on the side were to die for. fried calamari was excellent as well, and drinks were very good. service was fantastic and personable.

Thank you for the amazing seafood, service and charm!

Once again, a place that I have worked at in my past. Great place to take a break, or a date. Good food and service make the price worth dining here!

Great food beautifully prepared and reasonably priced. Wonderful views.

I spent a week exploring some of Anchorage's better restaurants and this one ended up being my favorite. They have a very attractive dining room with window seats that overlook the water (by no means do you have to dress fancy though). They serve a menu of the freshest Alaskan seafood with seasonal specials. They elevate everything they serve from the salads to the drinks. There's tons of unique ingredient choices/combinations that show how much thought and skill went into creating the menus. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable as well. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to visit Simon's if you're ever in Anchorage!

Underwhelming when you stand outside but a fascinating interior with incredible views, excellent food & impeccable service.

Great food and great dinning experience. The staff were all very nice also. If you live in Alaska or are here for a night or two make this a must stop place.

Food was great. But when you make a reservation 6 months in advance and the only request you make is cor a table with a view and they try to seat you in a corner with no view you can tell they just dont care.

Went here for my anniversary with my wife. They treated us great, they even had petals put out on the table for us (the little things that count). Every server that came by wishes is a happy anniversary. We came by for happy later and it was also great.

Get the halibut cheeks and you won't be disappointed. Drinks are a bit pricey but delicious! Great view from the bar.

Have been in before and had a great time. This trip however was a total bust. After we were seated we had to wait over 15 minutes to get a drink order in and I had to flag down the server to put it in. My husband's clam chowder was bland and not creamy and his fish and chips soggy and unseasoned. My chicken wings were so dry that I asked for extra sauce and even with that I couldn't eat them. The table next to us also sent there wings back. The house potato chips were nice and crunchy, but if you call them bacon and blue cheese chips I expect them to have more then a few random specks of each on the dish . Highly disappointing, is supposed to be one of the better places in Anchorage.

Service was mediocre. For a place with such HIGH prices you would expect expert service (same as I-hop), better seating (crowded, tight) and excellent food (very small portions, NOT all homemade, SEASONED). First time there and a bit disappointed.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place. I finally went, and it was extremely disappointing. The food was either overly salty, or just bland. The seafood alfredo tasted like bacon bits for some reason. The service was excellent, and we were seated and served in a great time. Overall, I would never go back, the food was extremely over priced for the quality.

Good food. A little overpriced in my opinion but not bad.

Great food with great views of the Alaskan coast. Also the oysters where nice and fresh and service was superb a must try while in Alaska.

You pay to dine here, if you wish to eat you go somewhere else. Staff is attentive and the kitchen adjust to allergies and other request. Food is worth the price in quality, quantity, and dining experience.

Great food and drinks. Good service but gets a bit pricey unless you go during happy hour. Overall I would definitely recommend it and go again.
