Never disappointed in the food! The tenderloin tips appetizer is so delicious and rich! I always get that. The creme brulee is a devine sweet little cup of heaven. Last time I was here they had sold out of it as well as the osso buco, a lamb shank. I've only herd of great things about this item ut havent had it yet. Next time I will come with a ravenous appetite for the lamb shank. They have a small but good non alcoholic drink menu. For this holiday season they have a special drink menu available. They have open seating at the bar (right side) so I didn't have to wait. They have a 2nd floor as well. I suggest reservations for larger parties.
Great filet mignon! Expensive! Worth it. The food here was amazing. Eveything had God taste, flavor, and texture. The mashed potatoes were great. The steak was cooked perfect and the sauce was tasty. Somehow I had never made it into this place. Go here instead of Simon's (Simon and seaforts). I'll let the images speak
The bar tender Kevin changed everything. He went above and beyond. I will say there deserts are pre made and frozen. Avoid them, but everything else was great. The tenderloin appetizer was overcooked. Avoid that also
The food here was very good and we focused on seafood, namely, the king crab, and a halibut dish, both of which were fresh and delicious. A vegetarian colleague reported that the portobello mushroom parm was excellent. Service was quick and friendly and they have good dessert options too. The place gets very crowded and we reserved an early table to avoid the wait.
Walking into Orso, I immediately felt comfortable. The atmosphere is casual enough to keep things relaxed, but there’s an attention to detail in the décor and service that makes dinner here feel like a special occasion. I ordered the halibut, and honestly, it might be one of the freshest pieces of fish I’ve ever tasted. The flavor was so clean and bright that it almost didn’t need anything extra, though the light seasoning and perfectly cooked finish elevated it to something amazing. You could absolutely tell it hadn’t traveled far—anchored in Alaska’s seafood reputation, it tasted like the ocean in the best possible way. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the pistachio cake. I’m so glad I didn’t skip it because it was a showstopper. Moist, nutty, and subtly sweet, it had the kind of balance where every bite made me want to slow down just to make it last longer. It wasn’t overly heavy either, which made it the perfect end to the meal. The staff were warm and attentive without hovering. They seemed genuinely happy to guide first-time visitors like me through the menu, which added to the positive experience. Overall, Orso gave me exactly what I was hoping for in an Anchorage dinner: excellent local seafood, thoughtful touches, and a dessert I’ll be craving again soon. If you’re visiting, especially if you want to taste halibut at its freshest, this place is a must.
