About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
We are a great neighborhood secret on the south end of town offering a variety of fresh fun food from our open display kitchen. We have a hardwood oven for great appetizers and flatbreads while fresh Alaskan seafood and produce arrive daily. Be sure to check out our daily specials highlighting Chef Travis' creative inspirations. And of course, make sure to save room for our fantastic home-made desserts. We are proud recipients of the "Wine Spectators" Award of excellence 28 years in a row and feature a 250+ bottle wine list. Our speciality, though, is our hospitality. It truly brings us joy to welcome guests to our restaurant and help them have the best experience we can offer.

    Superb in every way! Our favorite place to enjoy a special dinner out. Stand-outs include the spot prawns, rack of lamb, a beautiful glass of wine, attentive friendly service. Classy, but never “stuffy”. Bravo!

    Southside Bistro continued it's legacy of "Never Disappoints". All of the staff involved in our special evening provided excellent customer service. Appetizers , Drink , Entree and Dessert were all delicious and prepared well. Look forward to the next visit.

    As always, one of Anchorage’s finest restaurants, both in terms of innovative food preparations, and knowledgeable staff to serve them. It is our “go to“ restaurant which we dearly love.

    We had a lovely experience. The server read the table well and didn't rush us as we wanted to catch up with friends. She suggested good alternatives and good pairings. The dinner was cooked to perfection. We love dining here.

    The waitress was not as attentive as I would have expected. My order was incorrect, I ordered filet but received a New York steak that was tough and tasteless. My wife's king salmon was excellent, top shelf. The desert was very good but again the waitress neglected to bring me the coffee I ordered with dessert. Fortunately I was for my wife's birthday so that she was satisfied was all that did matter to me. This was below average from my previous visits. I expected better in the fine dining area of the restaurant over the bar area.
