Olivia’s Bistro - SKAGWAY

The best meal I’ve had in three weeks in Alaska! The salmon gnocchi was superb. Desserts are house made. Well worth walking an extra two or thee blocks to get to. I’m in Skagway another day I’ll be back for lunch tomorrow. I was there for dinner. Cruise passengers are mostly back on their ships by dinner in Skagway, so there were few other patrons for dinner. This made my experience even better. The wait staff was super and genuinely friendly. I felt I had new friends in Skagway, who happen to be great cooks, by the time I left. Highly recommended! One mildly confusing thing: the restaurant seems to be called both “Olivia’s” and “Alaska House.” They are one and the same.

Absolutely delicious, very fresh, great flavor combinations, wonderful wait staff fresh caught shrimp (like today) and a good price. Definitely recommend going to this restaurant.

Authentic Alaskan bistro deservedly recognised for the quality of its seafood, and for tasty meats such as Caribou. Excellent Alaskan craft beers and a good wine list.

This restaurant had been recommended to us by one of the shuttle bus drivers so we were looking forward to a really good experience. Our server was preoccupied during our entire visit, sitting and chatting with a friend at another table. Our appetizers arrived at the same time as our main course. The food was not hot to begin with so while we were eating our chowder, our main course was sitting there getting cooler. At no time did our server come and ask us if we needed anything or if our food was good. In other words not what one would normally expect during dinner. It was a shame really because the food was tasty, just not served at the proper temperature nor in the proper sequence. Very disappointed.

Adorable low key restaurant with lovely food and great service. The smoked salmon dip was splendid. We felt lucky to get a table after the lunch rush.
