Nullagvik - Kotzebue

Nullagvik was our first meal out in Kotzebue last year and again this year. Last year was good, but still impacted by supply chain issues...this year is even better. The menu a surprisingly number of options. Most are traditional americana selections with a sprinkling of local such as reindeer stew and delicious salmon. Reservations are required, although we have walked in and still be served. I do recommend adhering to the policy to ensure a pleasant experience. Like most places they struggle with staffing, especially during peak hours (yes, that happens in Kotzebue, also). There is rarely a wait beyond the reservation time. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating. The dining room overlooks the water from a couple of angles. Sometimes, you can even catch a glimpse of seals at play. It 's definitely the only nice sit down restaurant in the village. If you are expecting a cocktail or wine with your dinner, well, that won 't happen in Kotzebue unless you have dinner at home. There are no alcohol sales in any restaurant or in stores, other than the one liquor store. FYI: you purchase a license to purchase alcohol.

The hotel and restaurant far exceeded our expectations. Good food, great service, and a spectacular view. Highly recommend the hotel for its service and a very nice, clean room. We had travel issues due to weather and they were incredibly helpful to someone far from home (Ohio). The restaurant offered a nice sit down dinner with a view difficult to match. The Arctic Ocean with its mountains across the bay were spectacular. We had three dinners. I had a bacon cheeseburger, reindeer and gravy, and a Denali burger. Each was very good. And it was nice sitting for dinner after a long day. Great job to its staff.

I've had the most delicious food here this past week. The first night I had the beef curry soup with berry cobbler for desert, the next night I had the chocolate cake, a delicious dark chocolate. The service was great, waitstaff are always very pleasant and attentive. I love the ambiance and the views from the window is nothing short of spectacular.

Great view, nice seating. Had reindeer and gravy and spouse hamburger. Both very good and a variety of food choices. Waitress did a great job managing about ten different groups of people. Can't beat the view. Get a table by the window. Lots of activity along Shore drive.

What can I say a hotel restaurant in a tiny little village north of the arctic circle. Food was ok service was fine. Can 't charge to your room and still use old fashioned carbon paper for processing CC 's. Cash is best.
