Best sky box dining anywhere! I love this place. Great friendly service and tasty food with little extras make it special.
Closed for summer break!
Great place to eat when they're open, though :)
Hidden gem on UAA campus. You have to enter the Alaska Airlines Center and ascend the elevator to find the place. Actually reminds me of the type of restaurants often found at Disney Resorts: Clean, well-appointed, with attentive service and fantastic views, but pretty standard food. Yet I have no complaints regarding the food. Anchorage, in general, is a burger-fries-pizza kind of place. Read the menu carefully herr and you can find hidden gems. For example, I ordered a cup of the creamy wild rice and mushroom soup amd it blew my socks off. But remember the views! The dining room overlooks the stadium's basketball court or, in nice weather, you can choose outdoor dining with panoramas of the Chugach mountains. Awesome either way and totally unlike anywhere else in the city. Lastly, you can ignore student reviews that complain about meal points and compare the Varsity to other student eateries. They are talking to a different audience.
Miss the bread pudding, seafood chowder, and Kenai Smoked Chicken Pot Pie. Menu has taken a slight step downward (less selection) from when they first opened. Still a very nice atmosphere. Good service.
Nice atmosphere. Had a short amount of time to eat, but the food service was quick. I chose the French dip after seeing the reviews here. Was not disappointed. Food is a little expensive for a lunch, but the food quality, location, and atmosphere made it not as much of a focus. I would eat here again.
