Kincaid Grill

I would give this restaurant and chef a Michelin star. The pairing and composition of flavors and textures in most of the dishes is nothing less than genius. The flavors are rich, complex but balanced to perfection. Every bite felt like heaven. The use of high quality fresh ingredients in all dishes is evident. For appetizers we ordered the Gorgonzola fondue, seafood fusion soup cauliflower crème soup and poached pear salad, for the main we ordered the Alaskan halibut and Alaskan black cod which was brilliant. All the portions are generous, the prices for the appetizers soups salads and deserts are surprisingly low vs their superb quality. The ambience and vibe in the restaurant are friendly and welcoming. Our waitress Kimberley was professional energetic and knowledgeable, accurately explaining every dish. Wonderful remarkable experience!

The non descript front is deceptive to what’s inside. When we arrived we wondered if it was open as it didn’t look like much from the outside. However once through the two doors, the ambiance shifts to a cozy interior. Service was impeccable and professional. We started with the Cesar pear salads followed by the scallops and salmon.

It doesn't look like a high end restaurant from the outside. They have special menu for the day that is not listed on the menu. Reservation is needed but if there's available table, they will take you in. Their complimentary breads were amazing.

slight confusion with dish but customer service was so good- we didn’t care at all. crazy how all of these unsuspecting buildings have some fantastic food once you get in to door. we had salmon special and halibut.

Great food and service. I highly recommend the gumbo! Best in Alaska. My friends and I had our 1920s dinner party here and had a fabulous experience!

If you’re looking for something, a little bit more personal and intimate? Look No-further this place is the spot! 🙌 A heartfelt thank you to Kincaid Grill for an exceptional dining experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless, making for the perfect night out. Making reservations was a breeze, thanks to Julie, who ensured everything was taken care of with her excellent communication and follow-ups. Our server, Aaron, was outstanding—attentive, professional, and thoughtful, making sure our every need was met. The extraordinary dishes were a true testament to the restaurant’s dedication to fine dining. You made my husband’s birthday celebration truly special, and we are so grateful. We can’t wait to return!

Kincaid Grill offers a refined dining experience with a menu that’s creative, well-executed in parts, and slightly uneven in others. We started with the Pork Belly Appetizer, which was a standout. The texture was spot-on. Crisp exterior, tender interior, and the combination of hot honey glaze, crispy polenta, frisée & fennel, and pickled red onion created a perfectly balanced bite. This dish set the tone for what we hoped would be an exceptional meal. The Seafood Fusion dish was bold and beautifully composed with king crab and lemongrass-infused coconut milk bringing vibrant, aromatic depth. The only out-of-place element was the shrimp-mushroom wonton, which felt like an odd fit with the rest of the flavors. The Roasted Alaskan Oysters, though technically from the Pacific Northwest, were large, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Another highlight was the Black Cod, glazed with miso and paired with sesame-ginger scallion. It was silky, rich, and expertly cooked, easily one of the top dishes of the evening. Unfortunately, not everything hit the mark. The Alaskan Halibut was underwhelming, bland and lacking acidity or punch, especially compared to the more dynamic dishes on the table. The Gumbo also failed to impress; it felt flat and one-note. On the dessert front, the Crème Brûlée was standard fare, nothing wrong with it, just nothing special. The Cookies & Cream Semifreddo, however, was a fun and satisfying end to the meal, with a creamy, nostalgic sweetness that elevated it above the typical dessert offerings. All in all, Kincaid Grill delivers a thoughtful menu with a few standout dishes that are well worth trying. While not every plate was a hit, the highs were truly memorable and show the kitchen’s potential when everything clicks.

Service was phenomenal. I didn’t tell the server about my fish being watery/mushy, but that’s because it was at the end of the meal. Otherwise the food was great, homemade bread, and good drinks. Atmosphere was a little too fancy for what it is. More casual would of made it better.

The outside is deceiving--it looks like a strip mall but inside is cozy. There could be some work on timing and efficiencies, they lacked and thus the service was slow. To start the host should provide the drink menu from the start, this saves the servers a trip. There should also be a dedicated bread/water person. Too much time didily-dalling. As for the food : The oysters, beets and the black cod were outstanding. The halibut was very overcooked and the risotto it sat on was bland and boring. Needed acid and salt and at least 4min less cooked. Dryer than dry chicken and inedible. Consider having a small, elite bar menu like high end whisky/scotch and after drinks like amaro. Keep the class of few selections, but add variety.

What an absolutely amazing place to eat! Every time we're up in Anchorage, stopping by Kincaid Grill is a must for us. This restaurant perfectly captures everything you want in a fine dining experience -- exceptional food, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere -- but without those intimidating fine dining prices. It really feels like you're getting top-quality food without breaking the bank. The staff here are some of the friendliest and most welcoming people you'll meet. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with genuine warmth and professionalism. We had the pleasure of sitting at the Chef's Table, which is a really special experience. It's a quiet, intimate room right inside the kitchen, so you get a unique behind-the-scenes vibe while enjoying your meal. It's perfect for a date night or a small family gathering when you want something a bit more private. The food is consistently excellent every single time we visit. The menu has a great variety, and the portions are generous -- definitely not those tiny plates you sometimes get at other places. Whether it's seafood, steak, or one of their seasonal specials, everything is prepared with care and bursting with flavor. You can tell the chefs put a lot of pride into their work. If you're visiting Anchorage or even if you're local, do yourself a favor and make a reservation here. It's the kind of place you want to bring your whole family to share a memorable meal. Kincaid Grill has quickly become one of our favorite spots, and we look forward to every visit. Highly recommend!

We are visiting and we're lucky to be able to snag a reservation. Kim on the phone was very helpful and accommodating. This place is located on strip mall with plenty of parking. It is cozy am since with friendly staff to check your coat. We were sat in the main dining room and went for the wine pairing for the 5 course meal for valentines. The food was all delicious! The bisque was creamy but not too rich with the scallop cooked to perfection. The fish was crunchy on the outside and very tender inside. It was amazing! The duck was cooked perfectly medium rare and it was crispy on the outside and very tasty. The goat cheese fritter was really good! The filet mignon was also perfectly cooked. I'm not usually a fan of raspberries but I finished my dessert! Overall, everything we had was delicious! We did miss having bread... we saw some tables get it but we were never offered. The wine pairings went perfectly with each meal. The portion sizes were bigger than what we expected for a tasting 5 course meal. I would highly recommend this place if you are in town.

Service, as always, was divine. I love this team!!! They always feel like friends. Historically, every time I have dined at Kincaid the food has also been top notch. We may have caught them on an off night. We went for the NYE prix fix menu. We had high hopes because the online menu looked amazing. The crab bisque appeared to be tomato based, which would be unusual for a bisque--but the consistency and texture was on point. What we were lacking was any sort of big crab flavor. There was an arincini ball for some much needed texture, but the lemon oil added no brightness or acidity. Overall--puréed veggie soup. I was excited for the scallops because one of my favorite scallop dishes ever is at Kincaid. The scallops were cooked perfectly. They always are! However, a sweet scallop on top of a sweet spaghetti squash puree, sweet red peppers, and sweet balsalmic jam? Sweet and soft. There was a kalamata crumble but it didn't impart flavor. I skipped all the accoutrements and ate the scallops. I'm not a fish person, so the cod on the white cheddar risotto was going to be a pass for me--but my husband said the fish was perfectly cooked. That was his favorite course of the night. He was wishing for some acidity to brighten up the buttery cod. The filet was, again, perfectly cooked. However, it came on a celery root puree without much flavor, and had a 1/4 inch disc of white truffle butter on top. That might have been okay had the steak been warm enough to eventually melt the butter, but that was definitely not the case. We both ended up with these unappetizing piles of scraped aside butter and celery root on the plates that we were picking around. The chocolate bourbon soufflé was good--super sweet. I love a dessert and I couldn't finish it. It was also screaming for something sour, like a tart raspberry drizzle, to cut some of that sweetness. All in all.....the entire meal was soft and sweet. My future visits will be for the menu staples.

Got to enjoy some Alaskan fine dining over at Kincaid Grill with my family. Probably the best Alaskan Halibut I've ever had along with the Clams as well as that creamy Mushroom Bisque. Honestly I would give this a 20 out of 10. Kimberly was amazing and she made sure we were in good hands last night. Definitely will be coming back the next time I'm back in Anchorage!!!

We had the pleasure to dine at the Kincaid Grill for their 2024 New Year's Eve Chef's Special Eine Pairing Menu, and it was an unforgettable experience. The special menu was thoughtfully curated, and each course was outstanding. The King Crab Bisque started the meal on a high note with its rich, saffron-fennel rouille and roasted garlic arancini, balanced perfectly by a touch of lemon oil. Paired with Duckhorn Goldeneye Brut Rosé, this dish set the stage for the evening beautifully. Next came the Alaskan Kodiak Scallops, served with roasted red pepper soubise and a creative spaghetti squash accompaniment. The kalamata olive crumble and balsamic onion jam added a delightful complexity, and the Adelsheim Vineyard Staking Claim Chardonnay was a brilliant pairing. The Black Cod was a standout dish, with its flaky, buttery texture complemented by a luscious white cheddar chive risotto and a bright apple cider honey gastrique. The Racines Wine Pinot Noir elevated this dish even further. For the main course, the Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection, served alongside fondant potato, charred baby cauliflower, and a decadent roasted shallot demi-glace. The Rombauer Vineyards Merlot brought out the best flavors in this rich, satisfying dish. To finish, the Chocolate Bourbon Soufflé was the perfect sweet ending. Its velvety vanilla crème anglaise was a heavenly accompaniment, making this the best soufflé I have had in a long time. The wine pairings throughout the evening were spot-on, enhancing the flavors of each dish. The service was exceptional, attentive and professional without being intrusive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right amount of festive flair for a New Year's Eve celebration. Overall, Kincaid Grill delivered a truly memorable dining experience. We can't wait to return for more. Highly recommended! ****** Wir hatten das Vergnügen, Silvesterfeier 2024 im Kincaid Grill zu speisen, und es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Das spezielle Menü wurde sorgfältig zusammengestellt und jeder Gang war spitze. Die Königskrabbensuppe mit ihrer reichhaltigen Safran-Fenchel-Rouille und den gerösteten Knoblauch-Arancini, perfekt abgerundet durch einen Hauch Zitronenöl, war der Auftakt der Mahlzeit. Zusammen mit Duckhorn Portfolio Goldeneye Brut Rosé bereitete dieses Gericht den Abend wunderbar vor. Als nächstes kamen die Jakobsmuscheln aus Alaska, serviert mit Soubise aus gerösteten roten Paprikaschoten und einer kreativen Beilage aus Spaghettikürbis. Die Kalamata-Oliven-Streusel und die Balsamic Zwiebelmarmelade fügten eine herrliche Komplexität hinzu, und der Adelsheim Vineyard Staking Claim Chardonnay war eine hervorragende Kombination. Der Black Cod war ein herausragendes Gericht, mit seiner flockigen, butterigen Textur, ergänzt durch ein köstliches Risotto aus weißem Cheddar und Schnittlauch und eine helle Gastrique aus Apfelwein und Honig. Der Racines Wine Pinot Noir verlieh diesem Gericht noch mehr Glanz. Als Hauptgericht wurde das Filet Mignon perfekt zubereitet und zusammen mit Fondant-Kartoffeln, leicht verkohltem Baby-Blumenkohl und einer dekadenten Demi-Glace aus gerösteten Schalotten serviert. Der Rombauer Vineyards Merlot brachte die besten Aromen dieses reichhaltigen, sättigenden Gerichts zur Geltung. Zum Abschluss war das Chocolate Bourbon Soufflé der perfekte süsse Abschluss. Die samtige Vanille-Crème Anglaise war eine himmlische Beilage. Die Weinbegleitung im Laufe des Abends war genau richtig und unterstrich die Aromen jedes Gerichts. Der Service war aussergewöhnlich, aufmerksam und professionell, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Die Atmosphäre war warm und einladend, mit genau dem richtigen Mass an festlichem Flair für eine Silvesterabend. Insgesamt bot Kincaid Grill ein wirklich unvergessliches kulinarisches Erlebnis. Wir können es kaum erwarten, wiederzukommen. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Do yourself a favor and enjoy a QUALITY meal while visiting Alaska. I plan to return if we get a chance b4 headed back to NC. The service and food was phenomenal. My favorite restaurant outside Las Vegas world class quality.

It is located in a small, strip mall not far from the airport. I was greeted quickly and politely by the hostess and I chose to sit at the bar and eat as I was dining alone. My server was spot on and gave great recommendations! I highly recommend the Halibut. If you don't see it on the menu ask...it doesn't disappoint!! It comes with fennel-soubise on a bed of potato-chive croquette and asparagus. It has a garlic-pecan crib that was so delicious and it was cooked perfectly-delicious!! I finished my meal with some creme brulee that was out of this world. I hope to make it back to Anchorage and if I do this will be visited again!! It's a fabulous place to take someone for an impressive dinner!!

What a professional place. Servers describe special salads, soups, and entrees. Very professional. Timing with all the food was perfect. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone wanting to experience a fine dining session.

Absolutely loved Kincaid grill when I went there for a fancy date a couple months ago! The outside of the building (end of a strip mall) is very unassuming but once you're inside, (make sure you have a reservation!) it's a beautiful set up with neat, tablecloth covered tables, perfect lighting and a clean atmosphere. We were seated and helped right away. An older gentleman was our server and he knew his stuff! They have a lot up menu with all the wines. I didn't know what to fully expect. I myself had a steak with potatoes and carrots. The steak (filet mignon) was incredibly delicious, cooked to perfection! The carrots were the perfect sweetness and full of flavor. The potatoes were amazing! I didn't even need to use butter for them, I'm not sure what the chefs did but whatever they did...they provided a top tier decadent meal that night. The wine menu is lit up and they have many many wines to choose from. Definitely will go back but...it is pretty expensive. We'll probably come back for our one year haha

The food, the service and the ambiance were all great. We had a lovely dinner there and plan to return.

First off, this was the fanciest restaurant my friend and I went to in Alaska. The decorum and atmosphere fits the type of food served, which also fits the price. But since this was in Anchorage, I figured I'd give it a shot with it's seafood dish. I ended up ordering the shrimp and grits, but o substituted the scallops for the shrimp because although I love shrimp, I love me some well done scallops. Let me start out by saying that the scallops were delicious! They were cooked well and melded with the dish well. The price is pretty expensive, as you could probably assume. Is the price justified? I guess that depends on the value you put on the food. For me, being on vacation mode, I was a little more spendy than the average person. If I lived here, I probably wouldn't frequent this place as much. Overall, a great place for special occasions or fine dining!

Excellent meal. Attentive staff. Aware and knowledgeable about allergen concerns. Perfect little hole in the wall restaurant.

The food was special. And I do not use that word lightly. Strong flavors well prepared and presented, with large portions and very very tasty! The wine and beer selection was good, and frankly, I am too tired to go on with a more detailed review. So you'll just have to believe me. It's a great place with great food. Don't miss it.

Casual fine dining. Very comfortable setting. Nice decor but not at all stuffy. Very well curated wine list, knowledgeable staff. Appetizers were creative and well prepared, oysters, poke, calamari. Entrees are generous portions that are imaginatively combined. Fish was fresh and well prepared. Beef was top notch. Really enjoyed the meal and the experience.

We called last minute and were lucky enough to snag a reservation. The food was amazing! I really just wanted the Seafood Fusion Soup And the waiter suggested a double order to serve as a meal. I'm so glad he did, the flavors are incredible in this soup and every bite delicious! My husband had the Black Cod meal and it was excellent also.

Soup: The House Gumbo was rich and spicy, and The Seafood Fusion was outstanding. Entrees: The AK SEAFOOD CIOPPINO very good with lots of seafood; The Ribeye special was more than plentiful and more than enough for two meals; and The Halibut special was the best I have had for years. Dessert: The Crème Brûlée was the best I've ever had. Our server was Jessica. She knew her menu and explained all options completely. Jessica has a vibrant friendly personality and makes all the guests feel welcome. I would highly recommend the Kincaid Grill as a must when visiting Anchorage.

My first 5 star restaurant in Anchorage. Super nice staff and not pretentious at all. It's a little bit of an odd set up when you walk in. I found a fave wine and the food was fantastic, really really good. They are a little stingy on their bread but all in all an excellent restaurant.

I can't believe this is my first review here. This place is a hidden (unless you're local) GEM. It's small, quaint, and top notch service. You have to make a reservation. The waitress was very knowledgeable about all of the menu items and very attentive. We started with the fondue appetizer and can I just say YES JESUS! Do not miss this piece of heaven. Bubbling hot cheesy goodness with roasted garlic, fig spread, candied walnuts, and crostini. It's a party in your mouth you dream about! We then ordered the cod which is FANTASTIC. The shrimp and Gouda grits, was very good, not my favorite but the other ladies loved it. Preference thing. Then the ribeye, I would say very good but not the best in town. I would still order again though! Topped it off with crème brûlée, rhubarb coffee cake and pot de crème. All wonderful. It's such a great experience, don't miss a chance to spoil yourself!

My husband and I visited this restaurant for our wedding anniversary. The food was exceptional, and the ambiance was lovely. The service was incredible. Every single person that serves in that restaurant smiles, and the wine is good. I highly recommend this place.

FYI they're closed the week of Thanksgiving! We wanted to go here on my husband's B-Day but they closed that week so made a reservation for the first Friday on December! We've eaten here before and it's such a consistantly Great Awesome dining experience! We began with butter and the choice of a bread rosemary or seven grain, we picked the seven grain. Richard asked for a wine menu and we were presented with a iPad. Very cool we wanted to stick with the wine we started our evening with a Pinot Noir and the iPad gave you choices by the variétal. So you click on the bottle and a decriptor tells you the flavor notes. We narrowed it down to 2 Pinots out of Oregon ans asked our waiter for his choice, he chose the Shea Wine Cellars! It was excellent! We then were presented with an amazing Butternut Squash Bisque with roasted pumpkin seeds and duck fat that was quickly devoured! Next was scallops with a mashed potato, olives what green olives, it works who knew, atop green beans so good and seared perfectly! Next cod in a glazed miso ... by now you get our theme was seafood! Delicate and the miso glaze adds the Umami. Dessert the waiter suggested a bread pudding with bananas but we opted for Pot de Creme. Very pleased with the entire meal start to finish! Just know it's beer and wine only and tonight was a vino kind of night! So cheers and have a night out to remember! Kincaid is always great consistantly!

We were able to get a table when the restaurant had two large groups. Service was a bit slow but we did not care. They got us in and the food as always was amazing! The special soup that night was to die for, as it always is, and the entrees impressed!

Dined in for the first time last night and was blown away by how great the experience and food were across the board. Our server, Ian, was very kind and helpful with the menu and did an amazing job of describing each special and plate we inquired about. The Gorgonzola Fondue was to die for, and the special soup and salad were impressive too. I was also pleased to see they carry my favorite moscato by Vietti -- do yourself a favor and get yourself a bottle from Crush or La Bodega. The dining room is reminiscent of small restaurants I've visited on the east coast, with beautiful ambient lighting and clean, white linens. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and my partner's fried chicken was crispy to perfection. Dessert was no less impressive, and I can strongly recommend the Pot De Crème. We will definitely be back to try more from Kincaid Grill. Do yourself the favor and make a reservation sooner than later!

Where to start we have dinned here several times. Each time with amazing customer service. Always above & beyond to make sure you feel special. All the wait staff is super friendly. All the food we've tried off the menu or as a special has always been amazing. This trip I highly recommend the halibut special. You will not be disappointed. You should make reservations to make sure you get a table at the time you want. This is not a super large restaurant but very quaint. They are very popular for special occasions & just in general.

Kincaids was in a plain small corner strip mall near the airport; the building was kind of plain. The entrance was plain. The furniture was functional; completely unassuming. But. The service and food was EXCELLENT. Top drawer!

So I have to say that this isn't a review for a single dining experience, but rather for many. My wife and I will be dining their this evening with our daughter and son in law, and my wife will be back there again tomorrow with coworkers, needless to say it is our go to place. Between us and our friends, I am quite certain that we have enjoyed everything that is regularly on the menu and frequently partake in one of the Chef Drew's specials and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every forkful of every dish immensely! The gorgonzola fondue is our go to appetizer and frequently we will share a salad as we know we are not going to be able to resist a little overeating during the evening. Oft times the soup just sounds too good to forgo, so I have to have that as well before moving onto the entrees. Like I said everything is superb, the fish is always perfect as well as one of their steaks, my favorite is the filet though. Shrimp and grits outstanding and my wife can't get enough of the seafood cioppino, although she craves it with pasta, which is no where on the menu. Usually by meals end, if we can't pass on some delicious sounding dessert, we have to order it to go and have it with coffee the following morning. Apart from the food, the staff is top notch, we have our favorite server, Jessica, but we have received outstanding service from everyone from coat check to bussers and bartenders. I have already written a lengthy amount so I will wrap it up, less to say that I could go on about how great the service is just as long. This is definitely Anchorage's best by far fine dining establishment.

Excellent service, well matched wines, and meals well prepared. A relaxing atmosphere.

Impeccable service and first rate food. Not noisy. Nice atmosphere where you can dine and have a conversation with your companions. We had the prime NY strip. The BEST. Perfectly cooked. The salads are so very fresh and delicious! We will be going again.

Absolute delight. The gumbo was spectacular--and I say this as someone who once had the good fortune to live in The Big Easy. From my entrée I had the shrimp and grits, but substituted scallops for shrimp at the recommendation of the Chef. Simply amazing. Easily the best restaurant during our stay here in Anchorage.

Best Team, atmosphere, and food. Very fair-priced and beautiful presentation. Great wine list!

Every thing went well! Food service and ambiance! Server has been there 19 years and incredibly knowledgeable and a comedian to boot.

The food here is amazing! The seafood fusion soup is chef's kiss!!! I cannot get enough of it! If I could take a pot of it home, I would! Oysters are fresh every time and every dish I order each time I go delivers on taste and cooked to perfection! The service I've received here is always on point! They are more than happy to share suggestions. The restaurant is cozy and intimate and you forget you're in a restaurant in a mini strip mall on the opposite end of a ice cream and burger joint! Definitely a recommendation for all of my friends that haven't been. It's a fave spot for me.

Wow! What an experience! Going during the week is the way to go. We were able to reserve a great table, and it was an effortless process. The restaurant is smallish and cozy. You'd never think something so lovely could be tucked away inside a shopping/office plaza like that. The ambiance and lighting was soothing like a spa, without being so dark you can't comfortably eat or experience it all. The waitstaff was extremely genial and attentive. The level of personalization offered to each guests' table was so refreshing to see. The entirety of the staff seem to communicate and work together exceptionally well. And we love being able to see into the kitchen, is both having culinary backgrounds. It's like a silent beehive of hardworking staff. Our meals were outstanding. Our waitress introduced us to the specials and mentioned how she herself worked with the chef in her own ventures because his food was that great. This was wonderful to hear and definitely encouraged our food choices. We ordered the tomato basil soup and beet and brussell salad. Everything was so rich in flavor and handcrafted in taste. For our entrees we ordered the Mahi Mahi with Dry Aged Duroc Porkchop. My Mahi was insanely fresh, moist and cooked to perfection. The accompanying gnocchi with puréed kale was out of this world. They were so buttery and soft. The asparagus was perfectly tender and lightly seasoned. And don't get me started on the red pepper and sausage combo. Everything paired just so well together. My husband's porkchop was delicately cooked and seared with the best flavors. His was accompanied by bacon braised cabbage and spaetzle. Again, incredible combinations that were well thought out. We had the malazadas for dessert. To be donuts, they were such a light way to end the meal. Perfectly sized to share with the right amount of citrus curd to cut the fat. Definitely one of my favorite sweet and sour desserts! This is such a great place for any occasion!

I love going to Kincaid Grill for special events or romantic dinners. It's on the pricy side but the food is so fresh and you can tell that everything is made from scratch. We will be coming back soon!

Kincaid is by far my favorite upscale restaurant that I have tried so far in Anchorage and in general. It's small, with only about maybe 15-20 tables tops and pretty much every table is occupied by a couple with maybe a few tables with 3-5 people occupying it. When you enter the nice hostess's offer to check your coat for you before showing you to your seat. I do recommend you call and make a reservation. We made ours a short 36 hours in advance and had no issues. We also were more than thirty minutes late due to the extremely icy road conditions and we experienced no drama due to that. They were extremely understanding. The menu at this place is so diverse and I believe truly has something for anyone, even those that sometimes struggle to find something to eat at nicer places (like me!). The food was absolutely amazing. My favorite being the Gorgonzola Fondue Appetizer. I would order that and eat it as a meal alone, it's that good. The portions here are a really good size too, it's not one of those fancy restaurants where you're gonna leave and wind up hungry an hour later. I was stuffed after leaving here! Service was great and the wines they chose for me and my date were on point. Staff was very knowledgeable about the menu items and appeared to have actually tried each dish themselves if not most of them which is always nice when you're at a restaurant where you're paying more for everything. Kincaid is a mandatory stop if you are considering it, do it. You won't be disappointed.

Never disappointed by Kincaid grill. We had the turnip soup special to start, and it was delicious. I wish it was a permanent fixture here. Would come back for it alone. The steak we got after was perfect as well. Favorite restaurant in Anchorage.

Nicest restaurant in Alaska. Service is great, food is amazing. Great gourmet choices. Not recommended for children.

Such an amazing experience!! I truly believe this is best restaurant in entire freakin Anchorage!!! Like many other reviewers said everything is perfect - from the welcoming to the nice setting of tables, relaxing music, great service and let's not forget the good food - we had steak and file mignon and as dessert the Chocolate Soufflé and Creme Brûlée. I recently moved from Europe to Anchorage and been testing many restaurants to see if I can find some European flavor in here and Kindcaid Grill definitely marked all the checkpoints. Thumbs up to the Chef and to the Team!!

Quaint location great for 2 and small groups (4-6). This service is staffed to deliver well timed , beautifully plated dishes. The staff is well versed in the menu. They can follow the taste of your palate through each course. Whether it's a date night, adult gathering, or a special occasion this spot will be memorable.

This restaurant may be in an unassuming strip mall, but that is seemingly a trend in Anchorage with all the exceptional places I have dined at here. This is a truly white table cloth restaurant with exceptional service. It is one of the higher end restaurants in Anchorage. It is a very romantic setting with low lighting, and lots of candles. The chef puts out a creative and delicious seasonal menu incorporating local ingredients when possible, and they also release a weekly pre fixe tasting menu. The restaurant is only beer, and wine service. But, they have an extremely extensive wine list, and also offer wine pairing suggestions. For the pre fixe menu you can also have wine paired with your meal for an additional cost. When we dined here my husband ordered off menu, and I chose the pre fixe menu option. Off menu we started with the pork belly tostadas served on pancakes, my husband ordered a braised short rib for his entree, and for dessert a flour less chocolate cake. The tasting menu is $65 and included 5 course. The menu started off with oysters, and a turnip cream soup then for main courses I was served Kodiak scallops, and lamb chops. The meal was finished with a green tea creme brulee. The food was excellent! Every course was beautifully prepared and presented. The flavors all melded together well, and the meal was extremely impressive. The pork belly appetizer was extremely creative, and had a lot of awesome flavor. My husband was raving about the braised short rib. It was a very tender, and large chunk of beef, and you could tell it had been prepared well. I thought my pre fixe menu was of excellent value for what I was served. My favorite were the turnip cream soup and the Kodiak scallops. The scallops melted in your mouth, and the beet maple puree that they served the scallops with was to die for. I do not even really care for mushrooms, and I was loving the confit king oyster mushrooms. The meal here was absolutely excellent, and so was the service. Even though it may be in a strip mall--it is a very high brow restaurant. I prefer a more casual high end meal setting, but that is a matter of preference. You cannot deny that what they serve is of excellent quality, and creativity. I cannot wait to return to dine again, and sample a different pre fixe menu!

Kincaid Grill is a gem in Anchorage! Visiting from out of state, we were happy to have a recommendation from a local friend. As soon as I opened the door, the ambiance was perfect. Filtered lighting, gentle music, and crisp white tablecloths gave me a good vibe. Our waitress, Kim, explained the dinner specials with such a depth of knowledge that I was truly excited for the meal to come. She gave us perfect wine recommendations based on our tastes. While waiting for our order someone came around with an array of fresh breads, we both chose the rosemary, it was divine. We ordered the Gorgonzola fondue to start, ahhhmazing, and probably enough to serve four. For mains, I had the king salmon special, with the best gnocchi I've ever tasted and fiddle ferns. My dining companion had the scallops, they were seared to perfection, and a risotto that was bliss. To finish, a little port and a large crème brûlée w raspberry coulis and fresh berries. A little off the beaten path of downtown Anchorage, Kincaid Grill will surprise and delight!

First time here service was impeccable food was delicious and they treated great! From the delicious soup to the savory main dishes, and then the dessert was amazing!

Food was mediocre at best. Service was great. Have no idea why this place has 4 1/2 stars. Anyone who knows seafood will see this place has no clue.

Love this place. It's very close from home, and although only bar seating is open without a reservation, I find it really easy to book a table for the same evening through Open Table. Have done it a couple times... same night. Easy. Food is always exceptional, the ambiance is very calm and quiet with a touch of finesse. Wine selection is great and the staff is always prepared with recommendations and menu knowledge.

It's a small Anchorage GEM definitely check I would try anything on special the chef ones up with.

I really don't have anything negative to say about my visit here. This place was referred to me by my boss so I had to try it. Located in a strip mall I realized this restaurant isn't real big, this is why I had to sit at the bar, they have limited tables and they must fill up fast. I ordered the fried chicken. Boneless breast with the wingette attached. It was delicious. Served on a bed of spinach...with a dallop of mashed potatoes. Caesar salad was pretty good also. I'd hit this place again in a minute!

Still a popular fine dining restaurant. Very busy when we dined there making service slow. Great menu and wonderful evening specials.

Amazing seafood and great service. We had a reservation for dinner on a Friday evening and were not disappointed. The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. Dessert was spot on. Ian, our waiter, was attentive and managed to serve several tables at once while making us all feel like we were his only guests. I would love to return to Kincaid Grill on our next trip to Anchorage.

Was told this place was the best in Anchorage so was excited to try it with the family. Had reservations right at opening time. We were sat down immediately and then we played the waiting game. The service from our waiter was slow but professional. It took awhile for our initial contact from him and slow on drink refills. However it was fast enough that I didn't feel it would effect his gratuity. Bread service I thought was strange. They brought a large basket of two different kinds of bread over and we were asked which one we wanted. I expected them to give a whole loaf which would have amounted to about 6-8 slices which is kind of industry standard but instead they selected one slice of bread per person and that's all we got. Food protein portions here are very large for a "fancy" restaurant. We ordered lamb lollipops for an appetizer expecting small bite sized pieces of lamb on the end of skewers and instead got three well cooked lamb chops. No complaints there! They were good. We ordered a shredded Brussels sprout, arugula, and beet salad. It smelled like forest vegetation vs like a vegetable garden which was off putting to the wife but I found interesting. Wife didn't like it, I think it was due to the large amount of ?parsley in it? I liked. Best part was this deep fried cheese in the salad, the breading they use is awesome and they fried it perfectly. For the entree the wife ordered scallops which she liked. The kid got crab cakes with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I ordered duck two ways with duck fat fingerlings and Brussels sprouts. For my kids dish I was disappointed in the quality. My 3 yr old will eat anything and everything except for some starches like potatoes and rice. He wolfed down all the asparagus instantly (expected), had to be encouraged to eat the potatoes (expected), and only took a bite of the crab cakes (not expected). I ate a small piece of the crab cake. It had the same breading as the earlier mentioned cheese but it tasted super fishy as if they used really old crab. Thumbs down if not even my three year old Hoover vacuum disguised as a little boy wouldn't even touch it. For my entree the duck came out and was slightly overcooked(ordered med rare and got med well). I got a duck breast and duck leg (large portions)and they were both delicious. The duck fat fingerlings were luxurious with that duck fat however they had no seasoning/salt. There was a sauce underneath that provided the flavor for the fingerlings which was nice. The Brussels sprouts were well cooked but needed seasoning. On my plate was three blackberries. Halfway through my dish I started in on them and flipped one over to find the whole bottom side covered in a white mold (see photo). I brought it to the waiters attention who offered to have it remade which I accepted. At the end of the meal they did not comp me the dish which probably should have been done. Sorry Kincaid grill, but if quality is your forte and you serve your patrons moldy food you should at least comp that dish to your customer to make it right. If it was just the moldy fruit I'd probably give it another try, but combined with the old crab cakes, and slow service I think I'll done elsewhere next time I vacation in Anchorage.
