Simon and Seafort's Restaurant Review

Plenty good as always. Crab and artichoke dip is great. Steaks were good.

Great food, friendly service. Ambiance is a little stale.

A local favorite for seafood, I enjoyed my meal at S&S. I didn't like how we were made to walk through the service area of the open kitchen to get to our table though. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and it was awesome.

Excellent seafood and bar menu. Great food happy hour and decent brunch.

Ist time eating here and had a wonderful experience. Wait staff very attentive, food was excellent. We did make reservations. Ask for a seat with a view, so worth it.

2nd visit was in the afternoon on a weekday and was not as wonderful. No one this time asked if we wanted to hang our coats. Had a great view and great food but waitress lacked communication and wait staff tends to take things away without asking. (Happened on 1st visit also) Took our silverware and we had to ask for more. Would come again, just in the evening.

Greatest happy hour!! Delicious and reasonable and nice view

For several decades now, Simon's has been a top restaurant and lounge downtown. Consistently good...with a great view!

Great last stop after making the "First Friday" rounds. Tasty bar menu, with half off Happy Hour appetizers. Scrumptious sweet potato fries, creamy crab artichoke spread, baked brie, topped off with refreshing cocktails and Brandy Ice for dessert. Beautiful Cook Inlet views under the midnight sun can't be beat!

Good food and good service. A little pricey but expected.

Best view of the Inlet, and the food is always good.

Wonderful team dinner
We came here for a team dinner early last Wednesday. We were there by 5:15 PM - Service was prompt and our table was ready.

Great place to visited with friends or family.Great atmosphere. I come here with my friend last weekend. We had spend great time at this place. Food was amazing as well as drinks also.Staff was nice and cooperative. Highly recommended for healthy food.5 stars

On a sunny day the bar has the best view in Anchorage !!

Surprisingly, they have the best kid's menu at $8 in ANC - my young daughter loved her salmon.

Service is terrible, usually the waitress checks in on you ever so often. Here she came twice. Also, my food was cold. Would of been great but, just the terrible service forced the two-star rating. Won't be coming back. EVER

Great happy hour, very good food, great drinks, and awesome service!

Great place! Great food! Great views! Great views! Did I say great View! Full bar! Love this place! A little pricey but Worth it!

Was expecting more. Food was ok but menu and food we're just fair.

The only good part about my visit was the service. The food was terrible, I had seared halibut that was terribly over cooked as well as over priced. The portions are like something you would find in a true high end gastro pub, without the quality. My business partner had crab legs or so he thought, the price of his entree was over 64 dollars, he received a half of a crab leg. Would strongly suggest going else where. In my opinion the only thing this place has to offer is a view, if that is what you are after go to 49th state brewing.

Hands down our favorite place in Anchorage a must stop for us ever time we're up.

Everything was perfect. They had set a table with a beautiful view for my husband's birthday, and lived up to their reputation for amazing food and drinks. Will be back!

Food was good especially scallops, however the king crab did not seam to be fresh. It came out cold and soggy.
Quite speedy for the quality of food. Decent wine selection.

Great service and delicious. You have to try their stuffed halibut.

Smoked salmon bisque was good, clam chowder not so much. $12.00 and $10.00 respectively. Very small servings. Have had better for half the cost. Price is too high for the quality of the food. Service was slow.

We ate in the bar. Food was good, but expensive. Would like to see a lighter fare and less expensive bar menu added.

Wow! Wow, wow wow.... always good, predictable! Comfort. Just, wow!

We enjoyed brunch here at Simon and Seaforts. Our service was great. The raspberry white chocolate chip muffins that were brought to our table were amazing.
The traditional Benedict was a good choice. Very good. Hollandaise sauce could have had a bit more flavor but it was still a good choice.
The clam chowder was spectacular!! I highly recommend it. The crab artichoke wasn t my favorite but we will definitely be going again to try their dinner menu.

Decent service and great food and drinks. But the view... the view is what truly makes me come back time and time again. Just wish there was a way to add an outdoor patio facing the water.

Great views from the bar! Had drinks and enjoyed our time at the restaurant during and after happy hour. We didn t eat there, but it looked like typical seafood fare with rich sauces and sides.

A bit disappointed. It is not cheap and apparently tough to get a reservation. We were put in the very back corner...was way too hot in there! Had to walk thru ate a where the wait staff was picking up the dishes to be served. I had Alaskan King Crab legs for a pretty pricey amount. The sides were warm...bordering cold when delivered to the table. My friend had the colassal crab leg and had the same issues with his side's. What a disappointment.

Portions were very small. We had brunch and ordered the Alaskan Rockfish and Alaskan Silver Salmon. The salmon was great but very tiny. I thought the rockfish's seasoning was simple and too salty. I thought the dishes were overpriced but I guess you're paying for the view.

Fresh, delicious meal. Noisy restaurant....we could not talk. Sunset so bright, that we could not see. Good waiter. Celebrating my sister's birthday, & the end of our cruise, so a special day. In short, good meal, but lacking in ambiance.

Stuffed halibut and the wife got the seafood alfredo. Both very good dishes !

Recommend by the locals. The food was delicious and so tasty.

8:30 Reservations arranged thru Open table. Arrived on time. Told there was a 5 minute wait. Seated at 8:55pm. Cocktail glass cracked. 9:45pm still waiting for our dinner. Not happy!!!

Best halibut dish I have ever had. I spent about 8 days in Alaska and ate fish almost every day because Alaska has great fish so I should take advantage of it. Even after having really good dishes everywhere I went I still could not believe how delicious the halibut was at Simon & Seafort's. The service was impeccable--the waitress was friendly, attentive and helpful with making decisions without being intrusive and stifling. It is a nice mix of upperclass seafood dining, but for a reasonable price. Add in that you have a spectacular view of the ocean and you get a must visit restaurant that I cannot recommend more highly.

Our Anniversary is Special there and Love it very much Thx you for the Hospitality on our Anniversary See your next yr. 2029

A great nostalgic restaurant overlooking the water. Fresh, delicious appetizers, seafood and prime rib. Crab legs, King Salmon, Halibut , Prime Rib and Baked Alaska for desert were delicious and prepared perfectly. Waiter was friendly, fantastic and helpful with the menu. Truly enjoyed the flavourful cuisine of Anchorage.

High class, costly restaurant in Anchorage, Alaska, Hanging off the bluff in downtown

Fresh seafood and excellent selection of wine.

Get the baked Alaskan for dessert. Chocolate cake with blueberry ice cream and merengue on top. You will not regret.

Awesome! The crab and artichoke dip is to die for!! We also had 1/2 a spinach salad, and macadamia crusted brie which were also excellent! The view is amazing!

Definitely should be preferred simon & seafort tercihs! King crab, calamari roast, smoked salmon soup, and sweet potatoes should be preferred.

This used to be my favorite place to go with friends and anyone who wanted to go out. Now I am wondering what happened to my favorite restaurant? It seems like the services isn't that great anymore and every time we go we would go all out. The last 2 times my prime rib was over cooked(ordered med rare) my server said "I am sorry you didn't like it". I would have loved it if it wasn't over cooked. We though maybe they had a bad day and wanted to try again. This time our food came out 2 minutes after our salad did and our drinks we empty most of the night. We said we wanted dessert and he came with the check. We waited for about 8 minutes then said we wanted dessert and we felt like we were just bothering them by being there. I wish it were like my favorite restaurant again. But I don't think it is anymore.

I was trusting previous reviews :/.This place has a nice view, ambiance: looks sophisticate, but it was very noisy, waitress was good. We were looking for Real & tasty seafood, sadly none of the three main dishes rated. We pay u$s30+ each for a sort of sophisticated watery fish soup, bad seafood pasta not even al dente sort of sticky, and Halibut with pure, buttery sauce and mushroom, ...not worth it. May be try the steak, good luck.

Bit pricey but food is good, service is great, atmosphere is pleasant.

Great place for happy hour. The bar over looks the inlet with fantastic views. The food is also really good. It is a little bit steep on the price, but the experience over all is worth it.

Some the best Prime Rib I've ever had. King Crab legs were delicious too.

Best king crab legs ever!! Truly fresh. Excellent service, great view.

Good food, good service, great time. Received special treatment and free dessert for my surprise birthday party!!

Waiter was great, atmosphere was great, drinks were great but prime rip was a little cold, asparagus was a little under cooked and potatoes could have been a little more flavorful. For me and my friend who I was her for her birthday... said her food could had been better temped too. I was expecting a little something more special for here birthday and I had high hopes for the place food wise. Maybe it just wasn t the best night. Hopefully better experience if we try again.

Terrific place! You must try the clam chowder! Great service as always!

Food is delicious. Nothing unexpected from a Restaurants Unlimited establishment

Very classy and nice restaurant. However it is very pricy and there are a ton of people around dinner time. Decently fast service but for the price I expected a little bit nicer. Overall the food was excellent and it had an incredible view but the service was average.

Recommended by multiple locals to give their crab legs a try, and totally worth it! Loved the ambience, great view, and awesome menu!

I had a flight to catch, they don't serve the whole menu all day. I sat in the bar area and they were nice enough to let me order from the full menu. The view was very nice and the staff very attentive.

Little spendy but well worth it. Food is top notch and the view is the best in all of anchorage

Probably the best views of any restaurant in Anchorage. The halibut was in season while I was there and was probably the best I've ever had. I asked to have it a bit raw on the inside and they served it perfectly. The tomatoe & pea risotto was excellent as well. Bartender served up local info, great beer and cocktails. The bar itself is something to behold.

Love the bar, nice views, great food and Cocktails!

Atmosphere was awesome and they really made our 25th Anniversary special!

So good everything was cooked to perfection and the dessert was AMAZING! If I am in Alaska again I'm going back! Alaskan King Crab to die for!

I was hesitant to get the king crab. The cost is pricey but the meal is worth it. I didn't think I would fill up on a pound and a half of king crab but I did. Our guy tonight was Barry. He made our night very special. It was a limited menu. I do wish the crab came with a salad or another item aside from potatoes. Also, if you have never had key lime pie now is the time to try it. We will definitely be back for more than just our anniversary.

$$$$when they say it they mean it..took a very very long time to get our order, then our food..loved spinach salad not so much on my steak..I do not need someone to cut my steak up for me?

We went here for a date night last night after months of wanting to go there. We had heard many great things about this place and ended up being very disappointed. We were very disappointed with our food. First off, even though we had made reservations, we did not get a window seat we asked for and the hostess said there were no seats available. For appetizers we ordered the smoked salmon spread. It was not very appetizing at all, and we both love smoked salmon. It ended up being taken off of our bill. Also ordered the Caesar salad which had way too much dressing with old salad. For dinner we ordered the ribs with Cole slaw, sweet potato fries, and Mac and cheese. They gave us obviously burned fries so we had to ask for new ones, which never came. The Cole slaw looked and tasted horrible. Even the Mac and cheese was terrible. The ribs weren't very appetizing at all either. We asked for less sauce, and it was so sweet and had too much sauce on. We Also ordered the filet mignon that comes with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We had received the wrong order from the waiter, and then when I got my order, it was over cooked and very over seasoned and dry, it tasted like cheap beef jerkey. The potatoes were way too salty and so was the asparagus. We didn't even eat the steak or potatoes, and the waiter didn't even bother to ask what was wrong with it. Very disappointed with the $45 steak that is supposedly one of Simon and seafort's specialties. When commenting to the waiter about our experience, he talked to his manager and they offered to buy back the steak from us and offered free dessert on the house, which we both declined. He also told us to write a review online. Having already paid for our dinner and wanting to leave, we did not want to accept their offer of buying back the steak. Overall, we were very disappointed with the quality of food and the service. We would not recommend going here, we paid too much for terrible food. And we will not be trying the restaurant again.

This restaurant was disappointing. The food is great and all, but there is better food in Anchorage for less money. What bothered me most was that this place advertises itself as a fancy, fine-dining restaurant, but it's like eating in a huge, open ballroom. There's nothing date night about this restaurant. It's loud, way too bright, and the tables are very close together. If you come here, come here for the food if you have lots of money to blow. If you want a romantic date, there are better places with better food for cheaper.

My oldest treated me to a night out- it was a great atmosphere and I will be sure to return! Great food. Great service

This review is exclusively for take out: clam chowder. I can t speak for the dine in experience.

All we ordered was clam chowder soup, and it was good, but for the price, prepare to be disappointed. It was the size of a single ladle; enough for only a few spoonfuls.

Highly recommend this place. There is amazing view and tasty food. Perfect service as well :)

Amazing amazing amazing. Made a reservation for our wedding anniversary, not only were we seated right away, but at the table there was a happy anniversary card and little bits of ribbon. Everything from the cocktails to dessert was mouthwatering and to die for, and for being a fancy restaurant the prices were really very good. I highly recommend and we will he going again

Making reservations here doesn't really matter you will still have to wait like 40ish minutes before getting seated. Food to price is not worth it, its not top quality so the portions should be larger or at least better quality to justify the price. I don't go here unless its someone else's pick, this place is just a tourists trap. Waiters are nice, but service is slow here. For 2 people about 4 hours, if you get dinner and dessert.
