Yvette NewellSeptember 11, 2016I had the crab stuffed rock fish with cauliflower puree that was out of this world. My husband had their chicken parmesan and he said it was very good. Nice wine list and totally excellent service.Upvoted Aug 20
Laura HeavrinMarch 17, 2013You have got to sit in Stephanie's station. Best waitress ever!! Fun, sweet and very knowledgable about the food choices. Made us want every thing she described.

We go here when the Brewhouse is over crowded. Happy hour on appetizers is pretty good and gets better out of tourist season when prices drop. All about the tenderloin tips and polenta fries.Upvoted Aug 20
Timothy McNeelyJuly 5, 2013Orso has one of the most amazing gluten free menus and wine list I have seen in Alaska. It is well worth a trip here. I'd fly back just for dinner!
Veda MorettiApril 24, 2012Alaskan crusted halibut is to die for. Have it, or regret it every day of your life!
Ed DennisNovember 27, 2016The crusted halibut was soooo good. We tried several appetizers and they all made the grade.
Jenni PierceJanuary 17, 2015Calamari & salmon chowder all the way! I've not had a bad meal here...ever!- Julie McPeekJune 11, 2014Walnut crusted halibut over polenta. If I were a rich woman I would fly here once a month just to have this!!
Kavita ArumugamMarch 3, 2013Excellent food! Slightly overpriced. Meal for 2 is easily going to be over $100 without any drinks included.
Lindsay SheldonJune 26, 2013The happy hour blueberry martini for 5.00 is amazing half priced apps too!!
Jason BuisDecember 11, 2011Kayla is a great bartender. You must try the salmon clam chowder! Have an Oatmeal Stout.
Christopher LewisNovember 10, 2011Really good food and wine but when I asked for a Red Bull cocktail got rejected other than that it's epic!
Sophie ShafterMarch 28, 2011I'm not a huge calamari fan, but this place has some of the best calamari steaks I've had.
Chicken parm was excellent, use OpenTable app to get a reservation
Ellen JenkinsOctober 24, 2012Great place for a quick lunch, and not to pricy for such a nice place. 4*

Michael SmithJanuary 3, 2015What happened to Orso? Plates are smaller, more expensive and bread and hummus is no longer complimentary. Food was overall still good but price and even atmosphere have taken a turn for the worst.
