Southside Bistro - Anchorage

Had a wonderful dining experience with Southside. Food was well prepared and presented. Our server was great.

This is the best restaurant in Anchorage! Really appreciate quality food in a great atmosphere. Especially like that there is no loud music blowing at you! You can actually have a conversation with your table mates without screaming at them.

As foodies traveling from Chicago, we are tough customers. Found this restaurant on Open Table and selected it because it was dubbed a neighborhood gem. We could not have been more pleased. Do not be put off by the location, tucked into a generic-appearing strip mall. This place truly IS a gem, and it 's no surprise it 's been around for nearly 30 years. Every dish we had was wonderful, beautifully plated, and thoughtfully prepared. The wood fired cauliflower appetizer delighted with the slightly spicy tahini sauce, brightened by fresh mint. The Kodiak scallops were some of the best I 've ever had- large and perfectly prepared, atop a sweet corn pumpkin polenta that left me wanting to super-clean my plate using my finger. Wow. We shared the dark chocolate terrine for dessert- plenty for two and equally dazzling. I 'll add that we do not eat gluten, and dined like royalty here with no problem and no adjustments needed on the dishes we easily selected. Our server was friendly and attentive and she clearly enjoyed how much we were loving our experience. The chef even came out to introduce himself when he learned of faraway travelers who had found his lovely establishment. SO glad we opted to get out of downtown Anchorage for the evening to experience this fabulous meal!

They always treat us like we own the place. We always get our table.
