The Cookery

Had a lovely dinner here with good service. A bit overpriced for its quality, which is expected of Seward. The oysters and spot shrimps were super fresh and delicious. The cream cheese ice cream was good as well. The (free) amuse bouche was very underwhelming. Not a fan of the shrimp n grits—shrimps and sauce were great, but the combination of grits and nuts did not work for me. Also tried the strawberry nojito, which will be a skip for me. If I go again, I’d order exclusively from the appetizers/seafood list and the fresh sheet Note that this place is extremely popular and does not take reservations. Tried to go right when they open and leave your name on the waitlist

This place is the top restaurant in Alaska! The menu is so balanced, tasty and not heavy for your stomach. You can see that the chef spend time to build the menu, spend time on every dish presentation. It has interesting positions, and my top is fish (both types), oysters and the deserts. This is the first place, where I got back twice during the trip. I think they are always fully occupied and there is no option to reserve a table in advance. I would highly recommend to come 10-15 minutes before they are opening and you will have a high chance to get a table without a wait

Well worth the price and wait time. About $40 per person and 30 minute wait time. Their dishes are packed with seafood. Every single menu we ordered had so much seafood that it was so flavorful and protein rich. The salmon dip is a must-try, where the salmon dip and the cucumber combination is extraordinary.

Best restaurant in Seward by far. Enjoyed every dish we had. Went back for two nights! High quality ingredients, good preparation, unique and interesting recipes. Our server, Brandon, was friendly, efficient and attentive -couldn’t ask for better service. Nice contemporary space with a classy, relaxed vibe. A much-needed reprieve from the old-timey diner/grungy woodsy vibe at other restaurants in town. Prices are in line with other sit-down restaurants in town, but with much better food and ambience. Note that they don’t do online/advance reservations. That has its downsides, but it does allow for a much wider range of people to try their cooking. So factor in wait times if you don’t arrive by 5/5:30 PM. Their system for walk-up reservations was very efficient; you could track how many par

This was our favorite meal during our Alaska trip. The oysters were very fresh and naturally sweet, and the seafood dishes were all well-prepared. They have a fresh catch menu. The halibut we had was also nicely cooked and paired with sauces/other ingredients that were more thoughtful than other places. Overall, a very good dining experience and much better than some of the popular spots we tried in Anchorage like Glacier Brewhouse and Kincaid Grill.
