Scallops were undercooked, halibut overcooked, no bread served with salads or meals and prices high for what you get.

Very good food and service in a beautiful lodge setting with a view of Denali if it’s out ( odds are small). The small plates are plenty for a light meal. My husband had the pork shank small plate with cabbage slaw. I had the raspberry balsamic salmon. Both were very good. We had the berry crisp for dessert. The blueberries in it were oddly chewy, which happens at times with frozen fruit. Service was great by Kat! We were celebrating a special occasion and were given an excellent table. What a great meal and memory

Excellent service, the best we had received from any of the Princess Lodges. The food though was very mediocre. We had the salmon and halibut dinners which were very dry, not moist at all. The vegetables accompanying were crunchy as close to raw texture. It is pricey to eat here, but remember you are in a tourist area. Don’t mind paying the price but we should enjoy what we are eating. Again I want to end this with our server was excellent.

End of the season so they’re starting to run low on some items. The wine list is one of them. It’s understandable but worth noting. Otherwise a nice wine list. We’ve eaten here now for dinner and breakfast. For dinner we started with giant shrimp cocktail, 5 pieces, and very good and priced fairly. For the main course, halibut which was great. Very good desserts.

They offer this place as a high end restaurant but the food was terrible and highly overpriced!!! Not at the level expected for a Princess lodge. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Nice atmosphere and excellent service. Grace took great care of us and it was fun chatting with her about her home state of Kentucky. The food was decent. The shrimp cocktail was really tasty and the goat cheese risotto was very good. My halibut was a bit overcooked. The meal was over $200 for both of us but there aren’t many choices here at the Princess Mt. McKinley Wilderness Lodge. We enjoyed the meal!
