Seven Glaciers Restaurant for fine dining with panoramic views
THE FOOD SCENE
Seven Glaciers makes a special occasion of dinner, with an aerial-tram journey from Hotel Alyeska, glacier and ocean views, and Alaskan ingredients. Bore Tide Deli & Bar at the upper tram terminal offers a more casual mountain meal.
Back in Girdwood, Jack Sprat’s seasonal world cuisine suits mixed tastes, including vegans and meat eaters. Chair 5 in the town square is the longstanding pizza-and-bar choice, with food made to order.
Dining follows seasonal operating patterns. Reserve special dinners and check the operator’s dates, kitchen hours and tram arrangements before heading out.
APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE
Sitzmark on Olympic Mountain Loop is the casual ski-day gathering place for drinks, conversation and concerts or events. Chair 5 brings a relaxed restaurant-and-bar alternative in Girdwood’s town square.
For an evening centered on food, choose Jack Sprat’s seasonal world cuisine or plan ahead for Seven Glaciers above Hotel Alyeska. A quiet meal fits Girdwood just as well as a busy bar; let the day’s energy set the pace.
