As always, everything was amazing. The ribeyes were cooked to perfection and the cocktails were outstanding. We celebrated my husbands birthday and had the pastry chef make a birthday cake for him. It was delicious. The service was flawless- attentive to our every need. The Crow's Nest never disappoints.

Very nice place for an upscale dinner. We were down here for my wife’s work and it was a delicious break from a days worth of dog sledding and adventure. Staff were very nice, and our waitress in particular was a lot of fun. Highly recommend the fried olives. And the dessert was fun but I would get something different next time.

Another wonderful experience at the Crow's Nest celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary. A beautiful view, delicious food and fantastic service. Our server, Chelsea, was especially helpful answering questions about the current menu and wine steward inquiry. Service was on point and not rushed. At the end of the meal, you are left with the feeling special attention was given to have the perfect evening! If you have a special occasion, this is the place to enjoy it!

I came here with my family for a nice meal while traveling. We picked it because it has beautiful views of the mountains and the Crow's Nest did not disappoint. The panoramas were breathtaking! From the wine to the entrees. I will admit I wasn't crazy about the desserts we ordered. It seemed like the chef was trying too hard, but I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

What an amazing dining experience! Our server, Ryan, at Crow’s Nest, really made our night with his friendliness and passion for his job.We had fried olive and foie gras s’more for appetizers. The olive with goat cheese was like the perfect combination!For my entree, I had the pork chop, and I was so impressed by how it tasted. The sauce that came with the pork was excellent. Also, unlike regular pork dishes, I was really surprised by how tender the meat was! I would say this pork chop is the best one in town.We had other entrees like 28-day dry-aged New York, ribeye, and A5 wagyu macaroni; each dish carving its own memorable imprint on our evening and elevating our dining experience to a symphony of flavors.For dessert, we had bananas foster and cafe Diablo, and they were all a BLAST. The bananas were covered with brown sugar and were so delicious combined with vanilla ice cream.Highly recommended for its service and food, it’s a perfect spot for dating and family gatherings.

My recent dining experience at Crow's Nest, situated within Captain Cook's hotel, left me with mixed feelings. As a hotel guest, I decided to make a last-minute reservation, and despite being advised of a 45-minute wait for a table, upon arrival, I was informed that there were no tables available. It wasn't until I requested to speak with the manager that miraculously, a booth for six suddenly became available, despite smaller tables being unoccupied throughout my visit.While the initial hiccup with seating left me somewhat disheartened, the waiter's friendly demeanor helped alleviate some of the frustration. However, my disappointment resurfaced when I found the broccoli side dish to be excessively salted (and I do like my salt!). Although the waiter offered to replace it, I declined, yet no alternative or adjustment to the bill was provided.On the brighter side, the steak I ordered was truly delightful, perfectly cooked to my liking. The potatoes, albeit slightly overseasoned, were still enjoyable compared to the unfortunate fate of the broccoli. As for the soup, it lacked the desired flavor punch, but the addition of pickled cauliflower provided a much-needed burst of tanginess.In summary, while the overall dining experience at Crow's Nest had its ups and downs, with notable highlights like the savory steak and the stunning view, it was marred by inconsistencies in service and seasoning. There's potential for improvement, particularly in ensuring a smoother reservation process and addressing customer feedback promptly.

I'm inexperienced with fancy dining, but I had to check out the Crow's Nest with how much I see about it. I was very pleased. Chelsea, my waitress, was very sweet and informative. I got the swordfish entrée and the black forest for dessert. It was all very flavorful. I will admit, I wish there was more to the swordfish as I wasn't quite full after. I suppose the dessert helped with that.I also shared a picture of the amuse bouche as that's to help your palette. Just an olive paste, it seemed. I wish they provided more bread as they kept giving me one roll at a time.The cocktails were lovely. I got the sunburned mush, which is vodka, orange juice, and raspberries; and the Denali Coffee cocktail.All in all, I recommend.
It was great. The whole experience at Crow's Nest is always wonderful, the food is always amazing and the service is incredible. Our food last night was to die for and our waitress was friendly and relatable and always one step ahead- she always seemed to know what we needed before we did.

Wonderful experience. We had the waygu, i think it was on a seasonal menu (to die for). Also got the crab legs and ribeye, both were sooo good. Finished off with the black forest for dessert. Yum!

Great evening in a beautiful setting! We asked to be seated where we could see the sunset...and were given the perfect table! Our server, Chelsey was great! She was knowledgeable, attentive, helpful, personable and delightful! The food was awesome! Oysters, soup, steak, and dessert were all perfectly prepared and delicious! A wonderful dining experience!

Crows nest is still a classic dining experience. Ryan and the chef did special service for our son's birthday. It was great. Made it fun. The view is always magnificent. It's our favorite for finer dining. Slow paced. Give you time.

Awesome! Views are fantastic, staff is world class (Chelsea is our favorite server of all of human history) and everything on the menu is mouth-watering. We will keep coming back.
