Flying Machine Restaurant

Nicely styled restaurant inside the Lakefront Hotel. The menu was kind of basic though, and there are those Dennys style tables- much too simple for a place sitting on the water with a great view. Service was excellent though. Ana P. was our server and tended to us as if we were the only ones there. I had the Prime Rib and one of Alaska's many fine beers! Thank you Ana!

Service was quick and enjoyed my scramble and coffee. Although cloudy and rainy, I enjoyed the nice view of Lake Hood/Spenard. They have a side coffee shop where you can order your favorite latte or specialty coffee as well.

Great Breakfast! Food was excellent, service was solid, and prices were reasonable by Alaska standards.

Food? Excellent. The best Chicken Fried Steak Ever! Service? Prompt, courteous, and friendly. Location/Ambiance? Excellent view of Lake Spenard planes. DOGS IN RESTAURANT???? THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NO GO FOR ME! Why would you allow any NON-SERVICE dogs into ANY eating establishment? "Hey waiter...is this Canine Fur in my country gravy?" A little to country for me.

The restaurant has some great views of the lakes surrounding the hotel and staff is very friendly and helpful with the menu. For this visit we have one of their traditional Alaskan breakfasts, featuring reindeer meats and pancakes and it did not disappointed. You definitely will want to seat by the window as the views to my opinion enhance your breakfast experience. If you’re getting of the plane this is a great place to grab some breakfast since it’s only about 5 minutes form the airport.

Views are nice, overlooking the world's busiest sea plane base. Food is hit or miss depending on what you get. The burgers look like a solid choice. Service is friendly and attentive. Would come again and try a burger.

I have received the best of service here. Maybe a little on the expensive side and could use a little bit more salt & pepper but I think that is a personal preference more than anything else. The food was made perfectly. Temperature ingredients and style. I enjoyed myself I sat there and watch the planes flying in and out on the water and had excellent for new service. I highly recommend eating here to anyone who is in town. Local should come as well.

The house salads were really fresh and the blue cheese dressing was quite tasty We really enjoyed the halibut fish & chips and one basket was enough to share. Super friendly service! Got to watch the float planes come and go.

Ordered the crab stuffed halibut and was told it was fresh. It was probably the worst halibut I'd ever had it tasted very dried out and lack of flavor. I would almost guarantee it was cooked frozen and then reheated in a microwave. I'm not giving this review 1 star mainly because management was very great and gave us a refund which was respectable. Also on a good note the breakfast is actually pretty good.

Its over priced.....I got the salmon stuffed crab and wasn't all that. The vegetables were undercooked as well. Really crunchy...but fpr nearly a 50.00 dinner plus an old fashioned well....last time for.me. it wasn't worth that much seriously go somewhere else. A big portion though desent sized but still, the drink was really strong and good too. Why I'm giving a 4 star.
