Flying Machine Restaurant

Good food for a hotel bar. The Reuben stands out as the highlight of the meal.

Drink prices are reasonable and selection is great. The combination of solid food, fair pricing, and beautiful views.

Breakfast was expensive, nothing special and disappointing.

Inside the Lakefront Anchorage hotel, this is the best place to eat at hotel. There isn't really much available walking distance from the hotel, so you are basically have the options: Flying Machine, hotel shuttle downtown or get a taxi/Uber/Lyft elsewhere.[

We eat here a couple different times and Seafood Benedict was amazing. It had salmon, shirmp, crab, light hollandaise sauce. The seasoned potatoes were a perfect crisp and seasoned. The other time we ate we had the buffet and that was pretty good too.

Great view of the water and able to watch planes take off and land on the water.

Egg Benedictate delicious! Potatoes are crunchy, I love it! Boyd's customer service is great! We'll definitely come back again and stay at this hotel next time we visit Anchorage!

I don't know what all these advertised menu options are, but I just visited on 22-Sep-2024 where buffet was the only option, and I'm 98% sure I got food poisoning from the milk-bath scrambled eggs. A few hours later, after boarding a cruise in Seward, I started what would be 36 hours of severe GI distress. It was the only suspect food I ate and ruined most of my cruise, and I'm a healthy 47-year old with an iron stomach - the last time I got sick from food poisoning was 25 years ago.

We stayed at the hotel and had drinks and apps on the patio, then returned for dinner in the dining room. The service was atrocious. The servers had entirely too many tables per person. The outside server was at least apologetic and kind while running around. The inside server could have cared less about any of her tables. Zero personality or care shown for customers. We were never given the opportunity to order drinks and even when she was at our table, she was not paying attention to us. The food was fine, definitely not worth the cost. It was our last night in Alaska and not the way we wanted to go out. Would not recommend eating here.

Food quality was amazing and only surpassed by our hard working and very friendly server, Rita! Try the Seafood Benedict and the fruit and yogurt parfait.

I couldn't find this place at first driving in the area and then found it in the Lakefront Lodge. There are so many windows and the view is spectacular, even in snow, ice and overcast conditions. All the staff were very friendly. I ordered the Alaskan seafood benedict with a side of fruit and it was very delicious. Relaxing, enjoyable breakfast. ($4 for hot tea {Lipton} is a bit high is the only drawback.)

Parking: The parking lot is shared with the hotel.

We enjoyed eating here with friends! I had the fish (halibut) and chips which was so delicious. The portion was more than adequate and it was served with delicious tarter sauce and a lemon wedge. The service was also great! We loved looking at the wildlife placed throughout the lobby of the lodge. A really neat place to enjoy as you tour Alaska!

The food was really good! I ordered the sweet and spicy halibut. The halibut and chips was also amazing!
