This place was a joke...I am giving it one star b/c the food was decent. My children were with me and they seemed irritated that we were there. We had to ask three times for bread, no one offered us drinks, and our waitress was less than helpful. Then, after politely complaining to the manager, he basically told me I should have went to Chili's! Can you believe it! Do not go with your family! You will not be treated very fairly. We will not be back!
I think it's one of the best restaurants in Anchorage. The food is really amazing, very worth of price. The ingridients are very fresh and simple, but the way of preparing the food is very unusual. Great presentation! You should try calamari steak - it is second to none in this town! Good-sized portions unlike the majority of high-end restaurants' portions.
The staff is very attentive and polite.
So, if you are tired of casualty of Alaskan restaurants and feel like something classy and unique, Kinley's is the place to go!
Sat for 30 minutes and never got waited on. No water, no service. When we left the staff seemed unaffected about what happened. Not going back.
