We have had a family tradition of going to Fletcher‘s for Thanksgiving dinner. I fondly recall our first experience several years ago when we simply could not believe how wonderful a choice we had made with excellent service, excellent food and even leftovers to take home!
Sadly, and regrettably, that is no longer the case.
We had made reservations to go to Fletcher’s for this Thanksgiving and we made those reservations about a month ago. When we arrived, my wife was told by the person greeting her that she wiould see if our table was ready. My wife had gotten there before we had and we showed up about 10 minutes later. The woman had never come back to my wife to tell her whether or not the table was ready and when, she finally saw the woman and asked her about the table, the woman looked at her, having just spoken to her by name 10 minutes earlier and said “What is your name again??”
She asked my wife again if she had just shown up for her reservation, and my wife reminded her that she was going to check to see whether the table is ready or not. I imagine she was embarrassed because she disappeared into the restaurant and came back and sheepishly told us we had a table. We sat down and the server attended to us promptly and asked us what we would like to drink. My wife ordered the Thanksgiving dinner and thank God I ordered something else as did my sister. When my wife’s Thanksgiving dinner arrived, we could clearly see that what was previously deliciously prepared turkey meat was now cheaply prepared pressed meat, as if they were serving cold cuts. The green beans were undone and even the sweet potatoes were barely sweet. When my wife complains about the quality of the food to the server, he admitted that he was embarrassed to serve it because he knew it was of a poor quality, and furthermore told us which desserts to avoid as they were simply not well prepared! Neither my wife, nor my sister could finish their meals as they were unpalatable. I ordered the cioppino, and it was actually quite good, but that was the only bright star in our experience. I can assure you that we will never go back to Fletcher’s and I would advise others to do the same. We certainly will never have Thanksgiving dinner at Fletcher’s again!

The waiter showed us to our table and served us water. The burger and fries were yummy. You can swap the fries for salad and soups for additional $2 more which looks good too. There's also a vegetarian option for the burger in which a Beyond meat patty will be used. It's usually crowded during dinner in summer time.

Excellent lunch and dinner options. Outstanding wine list, awesome cocktails and cool bartenders. Business brings me to Anchorage and Hotel Captain Cook. More often than not, I dine at Fletcher’s. From pizza to their delicious halibut, I have enjoyed just about everything on their menu. A favorite with locals and visitors. If you are arriving later in the evening, call ahead, and make a reservation.

Although the restaurant was extremely busy, they did their best to get us seated as soon as possible and once noticed we hadn’t gotten drinks yet, the gentleman seating people came and actually served us as well. Seems like a very supportive and helpful staff. The grilled salmon was very tender, perfectly seasoned, and fell apart off the fork. The fingerling potato’s weren’t crunchy, but cooked to perfection. The fettuccini primavera was cooked perfectly el dente, I got it without mushrooms which I highly recommend as I don’t feel like mushrooms would mix well. It was a very light delicious pasta. The deserts were incredible I wanted to try them all but we settled on the crème brûlée and the strawberry lemon tiramisu. The crème brûlée had a perfectly golden caramelized top and was perfectly vanilla and creamy. You could see the vanilla bean in the dish. The strawberry lemon tiramisui feel like is named inappropriately as it is not a tiramisu, have no coffee and the lady fingers aren’t moist but it was overall very good as a starberry lemon cake but I just think it’s marketed wrong. Would definitely come here again.

Unfortunately disappointed. First dinner was the infamous Alaska Halibut F&C. The fries were good and crispy. The fish was without flavor except for the deep fried batter. Server was friendly, but for a not very busy time, it took 20 min for him to return to my table, at which point I'd given up on dessert.
Second visit was to get that previously desired dessert - blueberry cobbler, which looked amazing on the menu. Ordered it to-go and host said about 5 minutes. Which while I realized 5 minutes was optimistic, I was greatly disappointed when it came out 30 minutes later. Rushing back to the room (on the other side of the hotel) to enjoy the cobbler while it was still hot & ice cream still cold, was greatly disappointed to be met with the fragrance of charcoal when I opened the box. The small pie shaped wedge of cobbler was burnt to a crisp - only the compote on top was edible. Needless to say, I will need to enact the 2 strikes you're out on this eatery. Which is disappointing for me as I've heard others had good experiences.
