One of the few choices in Unalaska Dutch but what a choice. Both Seafood and Beef are excellent everyday lunch is order or buffet with Excellent choices. Fantastic wait staff. The hotel is kind of the only choice in town, but if you are interested in going to the frontier this is it. Best thing is you will not go hungry and thankfully there are no fast food joints
This is a fairly pricey place with good, but not great, food. It's probably the best restaurant in Dutch Harbor Unalaska, but it still has limitations. The $34 Ribeye I ordered was well cooked and OK, but not a great piece of meat, and the veggies were pretty standard. The dessert (a cobbler) was good. The atmosphere was upscale corporate but the view was good, the service prompt and friendly. This is the place to get a full sit down meal ... but keep your expectations moderate.
What a pleasant surprise after a day of exploring Unalaska to enjoy expertly mixed cocktails at the elegant Chart Room bar and then adjourn to a table in this grand dining room for gourmet fine dining. Not only excellent meat and seafood options....I had a Kale Risotto that rocked. Hats off to the chef, bartender, and waitstaff!
My reasoning behind a generous 4 star rating for the Chart Room in Dutch Harbor is the ambiance, views, and the relaxed fine dining. Their food is negotiable, other than an excellent Sunday brunch, well worth the $35. They had all sorts of seafood, breakfast items, salads, meats, and desserts. Their service was friendly and helpful, and the place was neat and had a classy appeal to it. I would definitely come back for a future stop in Dutch Harbor.
The food is of low quality and not well-prepared. Prices are excessively high. The seafood buffet, which used to be the best in Alaska, is now just filled with deep-fried and heavily processed fish. You'd be better off going to the restaurant across the street, where they have made some positive changes.
