Awesome service and food for our anniversary! Tried the Brussels sprouts and pork belly apps, coconut curry, seasonal gnocchi, scallops, wagyu steak, and I can’t remember what was ordered for dessert (chocolate mousse cake and bread pudding maybe). Had a great experience and will def be returning!

Wow, best dinner ever. We shared multiple dishes (bone marrow, heirloom tomato salad, prawn bisque, seasonal gnocchi and the filet) all were impeccable (I should have worn elastic pants). Service was wonderful, great pace or food and I didn’t feel rushed.

Got the burger take out and was expecting something special. It was just 🫤 tbh. 5/10. Meat was kinda dry. Smash burger blows it out the water by a mile

Altura tricked me into thinking I loved Brussels sprouts. I had never had them before and had Alturas and they were incredible. Since then I order Brussels sprouts elsewhere and they are never nearly as good. Every single thing on both the lunch and dinner menu is amazing. Service is always great. One of my favorites for sure

Altura Bistro delivers a thoughtful, elevated dining experience that’s well worth a visit. While not every dish hit the mark, the highlights were memorable and the service was exceptional enough to make this a solid 5-star experience.

We started with the Hamachi Collars, which were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked within, fantastic opener. The Elk Tartare was another standout with its rich balance and refined texture. But the true surprise was the Sweet Prawn Bisque, which struck a superb harmony of flavor, fat, and mouthfeel, hands down a solid choice.

The Poached Pear, gently done in white wine, had a lovely texture and made for a delicate interlude. We paired our meal with Louis Jadot Pouilly-Fuissé, a crisp Burgundy white that complemented the seafood and game beautifully.

As for entrees, the King Salmon and Alaskan Halibut fell a bit flat, the halibut was slightly overcooked with a soggy crust, and the salmon lacked the punch we were hoping for. The Panna Cotta was solid but nothing particularly memorable.

That said, the attentive and welcoming service, along with the standout appetizers and wine pairing, more than made up for the mixed entrees. I’d happily return to explore more of the menu, Altura clearly has the talent and creativity to impress.

Red King Crab Leg is excellent, especially when served together with the Sweet Prawn Bisque. We ordered one cocktail because we had to drive back to the hotel. It was so nice of them to split it into two glasses. The house made (free) bread was good too, especially with their special butter cream. One of the best dinner I’ve had in a while. Ohhh and don’t forget about the dessert Pear. It’s not too sweet (the cream, shortbread, and the wine-poached piece of pear), which makes it the perfect dessert for me.

The food was good. There is still room for improvement. But overall experience is great. I highly recommend the bone marrow appetizer. The bread 🍞 is also on point.

10/10 food and service, dine in or takeout. Love their lunch specials and burgers. Must try the bone marrow appetizer. Definitely the best food in Anchorage.

So happy to have found this place. The food was delicious but the service was spectacular. Thank you for the great experience.

I ordered takeout for the “back alley smash burger”, after seeing the home made buns I knew it had to be worth the $17 price tag. And boy oh boy, was it ever! This place is far from the “bearded burger joint/new age stereotype”. Their burger and chips are amazing, all homemade ingredients. I highly HIGHLY recommend you to try out Altruro Bistro, don’t let the pricing scare you away from what the menu has to offer, it’s worth every last penny!!!

Service was great but food was sub par. There were 4 people in our party and every person was repelled by how oversalted every dish was! The food also took a long time to come out. Tell the cook to lay off the salt please!!
