Stayed in the resort to go fishing. So after a day on the water going to Timbers was a great way to relax with great selection of beers on tap and some good wines. The dinners we enjoyed were wonderfully prepared and delicious. The chili Salmon, the halibut, and their steaks were all done to perfection. I can't forget the local oysters were incredibly good. The staff were all friendly and professional and made the meals that much more enjoyable.

Very good food, excellent wine, but a little over priced. Husband ordered a whiskey and got a sip...maybe like 1 finger, maybe. Service was excellent and ambience was outstanding.

Soup arrived cold, but they were prompt to heat it and return to our table. Only two tables occupied so would have expected more attention from server but overall a very enjoyable meal in a wonderful setting.

Restaurant was convenient since we stayed in the same hotel. We just ate a different menu item each night. Food were all delicious - salmon, chicken, steak and house salad. The grape tomatoes were so sweet and juicy. I can’t believe they can get them that fresh at this location in Alaska late in the fall season. Service was excellent. I loved the idea of hiring students with some from other parts of the world. They were friendly, polite and appreciative for the opportunity to visit the US. And the views from this place is spectacular.
