About Eagle's Nest

Eagle's Nest is a hidden gem located high above Ketchikan’s Creek Street, nestled behind Cape Fox Lodge. Reaching the restaurant involves a bit of adventure—either a tram ride or a walk down a wooden staircase trail, with the latter often preferred for its scenic views and better experience. Inside, the restaurant surprises with its urban chic atmosphere, resembling a city loft more than a mountain lodge. Large windows and an outdoor deck offer sweeping views over downtown, Creek Street, and even the chance to see whales breaching, making the setting truly special.

The food at Eagle's Nest is thoughtfully prepared and consistently excellent. The Neapolitan-style pizzas are a highlight, featuring beautifully blistered, leopard-spotted crusts and a smoky flavor from the wood-fired oven. The tomato sauce is fresh, bright, and not cooked down into submission. Guests also enjoy artichoke dips and a variety of cocktails, such as Moscow mules, which complement the delicious meals perfectly. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring water is always refilled, and accommodating special requests like half-and-half pizzas. The cook behind the counter appears dedicated, with no smoke breaks observed during the visit, and the food is prepared quickly after ordering.

Eagle's Nest is a place that rewards curiosity, offering a quiet, scenic escape with great views, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether visiting during a cruise port stop or exploring independently, it’s worth the climb and the experience. Despite occasional weather setbacks, the restaurant's unique location, quality cuisine, and stunning vistas make it a memorable destination in Ketchikan.
