The Cookery - Seward

I don’t even know how to properly put in words how great this restaurant really is. Upon arrival we were greeted with the friendliest of hostess’s and a great wait staff to follow. Inside was a very warm and inviting dining room. A beautiful beer and wine bar in the center, with an amazing table layout creating a super open dining room. The color scheme was bright and inviting and the walls were decorated with amazing artwork. A great beer and wine list as well as virgin craft cocktails and an absolutely tasty menu that seems to cycle frequently. We started with some mouthwatering shareable appetizers; the mushroom toast and pimento focaccia. Both were definitively home runs and paved the way for what was to come. On to the entrees, we split and devoured the fried chicken, halibut and ribeye steak. All three were masterfully plated and cooked to utter perfection. The halibut glistened, the steak and its jus were so flavorful and the fried chicken was moist, juicy and the crispiest I’ve had. Every plate was visually stunning and the sides paired very well with the proteins really showing off the expertise and talent of the chefs. I think every member of the wait staff checked on our table and the dessert to finish it off was just perfect. Probably one of the best restaurants in the state and it was truly a joy to dine in tonight.

I just traveled from Homer to celebrate my wedding anniversary, and this was by far the best meal and experience I've had in years! The staff was incredibly attentive and wonderful. The food was absolutely perfect—everything tasted incredible! The atmosphere was both romantic and inviting. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone, and we will definitely be returning on our next visit! Service: Dine-in.

You absolutely have to eat here! The service was top-notch. I had dinner, and the price per person was between $50 and $100. The food was exceptional, earning a perfect 5 out of 5, while the service was rated 4. The atmosphere also scored a 5. I highly recommend trying the Spot Shrimp Pil Pil, dessert, Mushroom Toast, and the appetizers.

We only had two nights in Seward that we could get a chance to try this restaurant, after it was recommended numerous times to us. The first night they were totally booked. But the last night, they offered a table they had available for 1-1/2 hrs, which was plenty for us. The restaurant has a rustic look but still felt modern and clean. Even though they were busy, it didn't feel crowded. We felt like we were treated as special guests the entire time. Service was spread out with appetizers and bread they brought for us to taste. I chose a salmon for my dinner, and was rewarded with the most delicious one I'd had in a long time. The entire meal felt like a gourmet chef had made them, and I even asked if they were part of the culinary school in town, but they weren't. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you ever get a chance to go there. Best dinner ever!
