We stopped in while enjoying the spring carnival in Girdwood . They were extremely busy,but we were seated right away. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food was good,we especially enjoyed the fries. A good place to eat when you are in the area.
Came here for an early dinner and it wasn't crowded, so was seated right away. The large windows provided a great view of the mountain while you eat. Since it was summer time, they were using the lifts and mountain for the bike park. It was a slow time, so was able to seat ourselves and order at the bar. Once it's ready, they'll bring your food to the table. Ordered a few drinks while looking at the menu. Bar service was very friendly and prompt. For the meal, ordered the Sitz Burger and Buddha Bowl. Food came out fresh in about 15 minute. Food was pretty impressive for a bar and grill. Both were perfectly put together, well-plated, and tasted great. Great place to come for lunch in Alyeska. It was nice viewing the mountain over good food and drinks.
We were super hungry and stopped in here on a whim since the place we had planned to go was closed. We ordered fried cauliflower bites, wings, a burger, bison chili and a couple of orders of grilled cheese & tomato bisque. Everyone loved their meal and was very happy we stopped here. We played pool after dinner and had fun watching the ski slopes from the warm dining area. It was a great vibe, reasonable prices and good food. Definitely a win win win.
I wonder how many people have stepped through these doors. Since inception. I know I have countless time since 1970. Does any one remeber World Cup 1973. It was amazing. I remember as a 13 year old cars parked all tge way to merchant both sides when daylong was only parking lot. Jonathan 2024 slush cup and tug awar 10min. Best I've ever seen. And the sunny skies. woo-hoo
I’ve lived in Anchorage for five years and had no idea this place even existed! Apparently, bands come here to play and take over the place at night. I wasn’t sure if it was just for resort guests or if locals could come too, so I asked—and turns out, I could! It’s $10 per person. I was absolutely blown away when I went upstairs—the architecture, paintings, and black lights at night bring the space to life. They even have an outdoor area with fire pits lit up. This is such a hidden gem for local Alaskans! Sometimes, it’s hard to find great bands and live music in the area, so driving an hour down to Girdwood is totally worth it. The staff was awesome, the beer was great, and the sound and acoustics were on point. All in all, an amazing experience—I highly recommend it!
amazing service, great pitchers of beer, but the worst sticky toffee pudding of my life. dry, dense, no ice cream, cold, and disgusting. the grilled cheese was great! the fries are amazing, fire and ice is good, the winter warmers are lovely, and the staff are the sweetest ever!
After skiing for a few hours, we absolutely had to stop by Sitzmark! I think this was the fastest service I've ever received at a resort, we ordered and our food came out within 5 minutes. The waitresses were very sweet and quick to accommodate. Prices are average for Alaska ($7-$20). We thought the decor was very cool and added positive vibes to the indoor area. You have to give Sitzmark a try!
