We had a great experience here. Sarah, or server, was fast an friendly and we lived the view. The martini was great, as was the wine and beer options. Loved the green salad with cheese. Great flavors! The gnocchi was very tasty and a bit “crispy”, and my seafood pasta was very good. The portions were not huge, but they were satisfying. We had no room for dessert even though it was free with my wife’s birthday dinner! VictorB

Located within the Aleskya Hotel, Forte is the nicest dining option within the property. The service yesterday during lunch and today for breakfast was excellent, the restaurant decor and views of the mountain are beautiful, and most importantly, we had one of the best burgers ever during our visit. We couldn't recommend a meal at Forte highly enough. The breakfast buffet was solid as well.

We really enjoyed our meals. Our waitress did a great job explaining the menu and add on options. My husband had the pistachio pesto gnocchi and added chicken as his protein (if you do not add a protein this will be a smaller portion meal). I enjoyed the king crab tagliolini, opted to have the peppers served on the side and not mixed in. Both dishes were amazing. These are not over size American portions. It’s a restaurant that intends on its guests to add on an appetizer or dessert. The tiramisu is Devine. We would absolutely eat here next time we stay at Alyeska. Enjoy!

We stayed in the hotel a couple of times during winter season. We visited this restaurant multiple times, for breakfast, lunch, dinner and room delivery. Mixed feedback for this restaurant. Overall, the food is good quality and sourced from local places. I liked rigatoni pasta and halibut salad the best. Deserts are all too sweet. Id not recommend avocado toast as it’s just a piece of toast with a really really thin layer of avocado - and $22 for it! It was understaffed and you can see the waiter was stressed out trying to serve all tables even though only a few of them were taken. One of the days we called for room delivery and got sent to voicemail for 20 mins. Front desk told us they were just busy and we should keep trying. When we didn’t get a response so we arrived in the restaurant and it turned out the manager and room service stuff weren’t there (9am) while the restaurant is open from 7am. I wish the front desk was informed and let us know when we inquired the details, so we wouldn’t waste time. The issue was fixed easily as we went to the other places in the area serving breakfast. This year, the room service was fast.

We're staying at Alyeska and got room service which comes from Forte, this was the best meal we had since we've been here which says a lot since we've been to every restaurant at Alyeska but this one. We had the Cesar Salad, Margherita Pizza, Steak, and Rissotto. It was our New Years Eve dinner with our kids in our room which had decor we put up and a Christmas tree in the Executive Club Level King Room. It was perfect. We will try to eat in person at the restaurant soon!

A nice, quiet spot for lunch. Service was pretty quick and the food was very well prepared. I would highly recommend the Vegan Kale Caesar, which had Chickpea “croutons” that were delicious. The Margherita Pizza was another favorite, with a crust that had an amazing texture and fresh cheese.

This is a restaurant which is open to all in the Alyeska resort. We had a really really nice time here. The ambience was so on point with the views of the mountains. The service was impeccable and the food tasted really good. We went in without checking the Google ratings and we are thankful for that. The halibut was great, so was the mushroom pizza. I highly recommend this place.

We were very happy with our decision to eat here. Lunch was still being served at 3pm which meant lunch prices! The winter squash with wild rice salad was really flavorful. Hubby was happy with his open face meatball sandwich. Beautiful window view of the mountains, quiet at this time of day.
