Altura Bistro,

4240 Old Seward Highway, Anchorage, AK 99503

"Altura Bistro (Anchorage) This is my first review and first time eating at Altura. I would describe it as a seafood and steakhouse . You get free bread and butter. Which were yummy , the bread was warm, soft and fluffy and the butter was whipped with black salt. The service was excellent. The servers were attentive and the food came fast and perfectly timed. Such as we finished the bread , the app came , we finished the app, the entrees came . We ordered .... Drinks : wine based cocktails. It was a good drink and squeeze the lime in the drink and it's better appetizer : pork belly . Pork belly has crispy ends and juicy inside. It was on top of a bed of cabbages that had vinegary dressing. Entree: chicken confit . I liked the ravioli and the chicken was cooked perfectly with crispy skin. It was saltier than I liked. New York steak . Cooked perfectly to medium rare and delicious . It came with potatoes. Dessert: creme brulee . It comes with a garlic crumble but it tastes like chocolate which was nice ! Overall a 4.5/5 rating . Would come back again"

"Great service, amazing food. We had the seasonal gnocchi for an appetizer, Alaskan black cod and scallops for dinner and the clafoutis for dessert. All were absolutely amazing! 100% recommend!"

"One of my favorite places for a nice night out. The staff are amazing, the food is *fantastic*, and the wine selection is wonderful! It's never too noisy during a weekend dinner, and the crab was too die for!"

"Come for amazing food! Gina was awesome. So knowledgeable and fun! We enjoyed the fresh oysters, Butternut Squash Salad, Prawn Bisque, King Crab Mac and Cheese and Weathervane Scallops. The Sesame Meringue Tart was a perfect ending! Thanks for a great dining experience in Alaska!"

"We found this place by accident on our last night in Anchorage and it was the best meal we had our entire trip. When other reviewers say this is a hidden gem, they aren't kidding. Don't let the strip mall deter you. We started with fresh oysters in a foamy mignonette, and they were fantastic. Then we ate the most delicious brussels sprouts that I think we've ever tasted - so crispy with Asian flavors of miso and soy with cilantro on top. We each ordered fish as our entree. I had black cod and my husband ordered halibut. Both dishes were so good that we shared them. Save room for dessert, if you can. We ended the meal with their dark chocolate torte and ice cream. Their wine list is also quite extensive. Their servers are informative and friendly and they all help each other. Once we returned from our vacation, I knew I had to write a review of Altura. If we return to Anchorage, it will be the first place where I make reservations."
