About
When seeking a fine dining spot with views like those from an eagle’s nest, look no further than Seven Glaciers Restaurant!
As part of the Alyeska Resort, this eatery sits at 2,300 feet above sea level atop Mt. Alyeska in Girdwood. Known for its 4-course prix fixe chef’s tasting menu, award-winning wine list, and full bar, Seven Glaciers Restaurant offers world-class cuisine in a one-of-a-kind setting.
The restaurant takes its name from seven glaciers visible from its vantage point: Crow, Raven, Eagle, Clear, Goat, Milk, and Alyeska Glacier. On a clear day, you can spot most of them from your table.
Seven Glaciers specializes in Alaska Contemporary cuisine, showcasing local seafood, wild game, and seasonally foraged produce. This commitment to fresh, regional ingredients keeps the menu evolving with the seasons and gives you a true taste of the state.
Additionally, Seven Glaciers holds the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award, one of only three restaurants in Alaska to earn that distinction. In 2023, Wine Enthusiast named it one of America's 100 Best Wine Restaurants.
Because it’s associated with the resort, it makes it easy to plan a dinner around your adventurous sightseeing. For example, after a day skiing or a summer hike, board the Aerial Tram for a thrilling ride to the mountaintop restaurant.
Make sure to check the eatery’s seasonal schedule well in advance of your vacation. It observes spring closure from April 26 through June 12, and a fall closure from September 26 through December 11 for seasonal tram maintenance.
For a dining experience that’s on top of the world, make a reservation at Seven Glaciers Restaurant.
Vibe
While cliché, it’s true: there’s not a bad seat regarding the view in the dining rooms. Seven-foot windows frame the surrounding peaks and glaciers, while white linen tables dot the various rooms.
The decor is contemporary yet warm, while the vaulted ceiling with wood beams connects diners to Alaska’s rugged nature. A glass-and-steel wine tower wall anchors the dining room, while warm tones echo the colors of alpenglow and glacial ice. The effect is elegant yet relaxed, letting guests settle in and take their time.
Aside from the tables, the bar invites diners to arrive early for a drink with the mountains as the backdrop.
These amenities create an ambiance and vibe that fits an Alaska vacation perfectly.
Seven Glaciers Restaurant: Menu & Drinks
Diners often center their evening around the seasonally-inspired four-course prix fixe chef's tasting menu. No matter what time of year you visit, rest assured that you’ll dine on the best of what Alaska has to offer.
Seafood tends to steal the show, like the fresh Alaska halibut, prepared with care and paired with seasonal accompaniments.

Rounding things out, the seasonally foraged produce and vegetable-forward courses, supplied by growers such as Arctic Organics, add color and brightness to your meal.
