These are the same owners that own the Moose's Tooth. They have some of the same pizzas, but they also have entree style dinners (and a cheap movie theater)!

I've been to Japan and this is one of the most authentic sushi places in Alaska.

Don't waste your time at ANY of the other shops in town. this place is the best (if you can catch them when they're open LOL)! They're local, they make everything fresh daily, and they're family owned. They will ruin donuts for you. You will only want to buy them from these guys for the rest of your life.

Good God Almighty! Make a stop here. Just be warned: it's a small place and it fills up fast. They also close at some weird random time (and I forget what it is, so make sure to Google it).

Upscale and unique food options. Great date night idea. Might put you into debt with their prices, though.

Paul and Shawna will forever continue to argue about this one. Paul likes it, but thinks they're over-priced. Shawna doesn't like it and gets social anxiety from the massive amount of people stuffed into the restaurant. She does NOT think it's worth putting it on the to-do list.

Shawna's favorite restaurant. We go there only for the most special of the date nights. They offer French/Continental style food, and boy are they expensive! Be prepared to drop somewhere around 2 bills.

Everything Else

You don't even have to hike up the mountain to see a beautiful view of the city. If you want to, though, it's about a 2-4 hour hike.

It's like a zoo, but better! They only have Alaskan animals here, and they work on rehabilitating them. Definitely worth the money.. and the drive!
