Crush Bistro & Cellar

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Crush’s owners Robert de Lucia and Scott Anaya created Crush in order to share their love of wine, food, and conversation with Anchorage. Their vision was to give Anchorage a place where people can experiment with a variety of wines, provide a fun place to either hang out for a reasonably priced meal, or sit down to a vintage $1,000 bottle.

Sharing wine is about the conversation; the richness of each glass reminds us of travel, meals, and family. Wine should not have any mystique. It should be accessible to everyone so that we all can enjoy it. Rob and Scott invite you to come down to Crush and spark a conversation with them about the wines that fuel their passion and keep the sparkle in their eyes!

Muse

Monday, February 1st, 2010

The museum’s Muse restaurant is the hot new hangout for foodies and the after-work set.

For those who remember the former museum café fondly, Muse has kept longtime lunch favorites, such as a smoked salmon BLT, Van’s Caesar salad and the seasonal halibut burger. New offerings include paninis and fresh-cut sweet potato fries. On Saturdays and Sundays, sample new brunch items, such as eggs Benedict with king crab. Eat inside, or on the outdoor patio.

Muse’s evening menu an “amuse” menu, a term derived from amuse bouche, which means “tongue teasers.” Palate pleasers often include selections such as Ahi nachos; tea-smoked duck spring rolls with plum sauce; and venison brochettes with a raspberry-citrus demiglace.

Muse uses fresh ingredients from the Pacific Northwest prepared with Asian and European flair to create imaginative and elegant cuisine. For nearly a decade, Frommer’s Alaska travel guide has lauded the Anchorage Museum’s café for offering “some of the best lunches to be had downtown.”

The Marx Bros.Café has operated the museum’s restaurant and catering since 1999 and operates a second restaurant in downtown Anchorage. The company continues exclusive catering of museum events. Established in 1978, Marx Bros.’ downtown location was one of just three Alaska restaurants to earn the AAA Four Diamond Award in 2008.

Museum members receive a 10 percent discount at Muse.

Ginger

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Ginger features Pacific Rim Cuisine and classic Asian specialties in Alaska. Our food is hand crafted by creative professionals from the freshest ingredients. When in season, we serve fresh Alaska seafood.

From the Turnagain Times: Dining out is an opportunity to enjoy each other’s company over a delicious meal. I think Ginger is a romantic restaurant and a good choice for the Valentine season. It offers a Pacific Rim menu that serves an excellent Panang Beef and a respectable Pad Thai. It has a lovely ambiance with great service. You can try one of their flavored Hana Sakes. Fuji Apple is my favorite, but you can also order Lychee or Raspberry. The Sake is served in a small or large carafe with matching cups. You can pour Sake for your love, right in the heart of downtown Anchorage.

Come see us!
