Base Camp Bistro - Talkeetna

Great food. Great service. And a 5-star review for a restaurant that had only one power failure and was operated without computer and network (our waitress calculated the bill and the tax in her head because she couldn't ring the transaction! The food was amazing! There were four in our party and food included the Beast Burger, Halibut and Chips, Rockfish and Chips, Seafood Chowder and Halibut Quesadilla. The halibut was the best I tasted during our visit to Alaska. The seafood chowder was amazing. The Beastburger was delicious! They come from local breeders. The beer list was fabulous (for IPA lovers, try the 49. State Solstice IPA . My only complaint was that the bistro was not easy to find. Follow the signs of Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge (on Talkeetna Lodge Road, turn off Talkeetna Spur The hunt is worth finding it!

The so-called *beast burger* is not what the other people have posted. $23 tax, do not recommend.

Would give 5 stars, but we had to wait about 40 minutes to get our check when we told the waiter twice, we were ready for it. They were very busy, but there were two tables that sat after us and got their checks and went before us. The food is very good, but we felt as all the tables around us tended.

Excellent food. Great service. All meals and drinks were excellent. I just wish the mountain chain had been out. Still had a nice view!
