We also splurged on a king crab leg and it was great. We ordered the halibut sandwich and really enjoyed it as well, but it would have been even better on a less strong tasting bread. The bun overshadowed the taste of the fish a bit. And the rice was just a bit on the tough side tonight.

Salmon was over cooked for all 3 of us. Red snapper (included with captains platter) was better.

Dinners come with choice of 4 sides but they are all starches (rice, potato, corn, baked beans). No real vegetables. Very expensive for what you get. Seems they cater to tourists and don’t depend on repeat customers. Service was good.

Visit: 7/5/22 7:30 pm Pros: Salmon bake dish is delicious with a lovely spice rub and grill marks. A little overcooked and dry for my liking butI think that's typical here. Chocolate surprise (chocolate cake) dessert was good. Captain's Platter was good value withsalmon, battered shrimp, and battered halibut (pictured). Seafood chowder was good. Corn side had an interesting flavor withhints of pepper. Cornbread was good. Garlic butter rice side was good, al dente rice. Service was decent and our party of5 waited 20 min or so despite them being busy. Cons: Coleslaw was a little too yogurt y. Overall: Food 4/5 some of thebest salmon in Seward and other dishes are pretty good though nothing mind blowing. Service 3.5/5 average to above averagefriendliness and wait times Value 3.5/5 probably one of the better value places in Seward, but it still is Seward.

With limited dining options nearby, our choices were either the on-site restaurant or a half-mile walk to The Salmon Bake. Ultimately, we were glad we chose the lodge’s restaurant, as it turned out to be a better option. We were seated promptly since we arrived early, likely because others were discouraged by the rain. Our server was very friendly and efficient. They had some great local draft beer on tap. I enjoyed a delicious Sockeye salmon sandwich, and the homemade berry cobbler with ice cream was excellent. The atmosphere is a quirky mix of lodge charm and kitsch, which suits the area perfectly. Overall, the food was definitely worth a visit, so be sure to check it out.
