debinnh Posted May 3, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hi. We will be in Talkeetna for our anniversary. I would like dinner recommendations. I have heard the Talkeetna lodge has wonderful views and great (expensive?) food. We are staying at the Swiss Inn and I wouldn't mind a good wiener schnitzle. I also read a salmon bake opened up in town last year. We are doing a Salmon bake in Ketchican, so I am not leaning towards this. We are planning on breakfast at the Roadhouse. Lunch at the pizza place. Any ideas? We will have a car, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing husky Posted May 3, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Go to Michelle's for your dinner. Talkeetna Lodge has a nice dinning room but I think the other is better. The dinning room where you are staying is not the place for a special dinner. Have stayed there many times and the food is not bad, but it is oilcloth on the table, and kids doing homework on the other side of the room. It is absolutely clean but not the place I would have a special dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debinnh Posted May 6, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I read about Michelles. It sounded like a brunch kind of place, not dinner. And the service is questionable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskanguide Posted May 7, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2005 debinnh , If it's your anniversary I would say go to the Talkeetna lodge I take my wife there every year for our anniversary . Its cost alot but she is worth it. I would stay away from Michelle's unless you like to hear the boss yelling at employees.:eek: Alaskan Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted May 7, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I too would suggest the Talkeetna Alaska lodge dining. It's the nicest dining for a special occasion and a little formality desired? But also try the Roadhouse's breakfast or lunch too. :) Have a wonderful time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debinnh Posted May 7, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Should I make dinner reservations or can I walk in to Talkeetna Lodge or Michelles? (leaning towards the lodge for the views) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted May 7, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I would make reservations since this is a cruisetour hotel. And forget Michelle's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactuscruiser Posted May 7, 2005 #8 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Didn't eat at Michelle's last year but we did have dinner one night at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge and I'd recommend it highly. And with any luck, you should have fantastic views out the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
