This was our first time trying Crush (for the Vegan Chef Challenge), and it definitely won’t be our last! We went for date night, and it was perfect. Making a reservation online was quick and easy. The ambiance was quiet and relaxed, yet it had that uniquely upscale Alaskan feel. Their cocktail and wine menu offered plenty of excellent options, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I especially loved that the vegan specials were presented as a three-course meal—it made the experience feel even more special. I really hope Crush keeps these items on their menu because I’ll be visiting much more often if they do!

Great locally owned restaurant with outstanding food!

It's easily the best restaurant I've been to in Alaska. Everything from the service to the food was on point. The Halibut with the miso cream was the perfect dish. The fish had an amazing sear with a tender interior, elevated by this beautiful miso cream sauce. A must try and I will 100% return!

Love the atmosphere at Crush. The wine selection is fabulous and it’s a creative menu. I wish they had one or two more vegetarian options with real protein. Not many vegan options to speak of. I had the vegetarian wellington. It has a puff pastry, roasted vegetables, and then it is plated with a pesto and a blue cheese cream. It was awesome.

A neat quaint spot that had good wine and GREAT food. I’ll definitely come back but be aware beforehand, their wines are more European than Californian. If you’re a wino, you’ll understand the difference. The food was some of the best I’ve had in Anchorage.
Parking: You can use the large lot across 49th State Brewery. Park on the far side of the lot and it’s a quick walk up an alley. Otherwise, paid street parking is an option if you find it.
The food was FANTASTIC! We were recommended Crush by multiple people and it did not disappoint. The oysters were my favorite dish!

We didn’t have a reservation but walked by and got a table at the bar. Excellent bar drinks and wine selection. Really awesome menu. It was hard to decide what to order. Good ambiance and noise level. Casual yet excellent food. Great service as well!
So disappointing. There are so many options in anchorage. I Trusted Google reviews which let me down for the first time. Salmon was overpriced but I ordered it anyway. It was just ok. Pretty bummed because it was my only chance on this trip to have Alaskan salmon in anchorage. My partner had a burger that was entirely underwhelming. Fries were lukewarm and the texture of the patty was disappointing. There was also an issue with the wine that won’t get into. I I understand there is short season for these folks but I can’t say I’d return if I was ever out this way again

I don’t understand why Crush Wine Bistro never came up in our searches for best restaurants in Anchorage! A local friend told us it was her favorite restaurant so we cancelled another reservation we had made and went to Crush - and thank goodness we did!
Yum!!!! Delish!!
Wonderful original and unique foods!! We had the stuffed dates (yum!!) the potato pancake with smoked mackeral, sour cream and fish roe on top - (double yum!!!) and the deviled egg with fried chicken skin (oh my!! Yum!) The crispy polenta with sautéed vegetables and mushrooms was outstanding. I had a flight of rose wines. He had an old fashioned with birch syrup.
Fantastic evening! Fully recommend!! And what is going on with googles search algorithms?!

If you are visiting Anchorage and need a dinner recommendation, look no farther. A friend recommended Crush Bistro. After a rainy day of sightseeing, this was a delightful place to eat and relax. Has gluten free options. Servers were so helpful. We had the Scallop Pad Thai!! Large portion, delicious. I wanted to keep eating but took home another meal for leftovers. Crush Bistro rocks!!
Dietary restrictions: Good food for gluten free!

Our favorite place to go in Anchorage for a nice meal, although we miss the old location. The new one is also very pleasant and enjoyable. Great staff and amazing food. Always a good time

Sorry-no pictures.
The food was perfect, a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Everything was fresh and served hot.
