I'm in Alaska for work every month and typically don't review or even go to hotel bars. Generally it's disappointing. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the Ptarmigan Bar and Grill which is located inside the Sheraton Hotel. It had a great ambience and pleasant service. I had a couple Old Fashioned's that actually had some alcohol in them. However, the surprise was the Alaskan Rockfish Tacos, which I had pan seared rather than deep fried. They tasted great! There was plenty of perfectly cooked rockfish along with a fresh slaw topped with a mango salsa, street corn, and a chipotle aioli. There are other items on the menu that look tasty as well. Though there's nothing new that they're doing, everything tasted great When I find myself at the Sheraton again, I won't hesitate to eat at the Ptarmigan.

The food was good! The service was quick and the servers are friendly. Chill bar inside of the Sheraton hotel, chill music, and comfortable chairs to relax in. Has a lounge feel to it

I ordered the caribou burger medium rare with crispy Applewood smoked bacon and a small side salad. It was absolutely delicious- moist, not too greasy and flavorful. I would order it again. So now I've added caribou to my list of other burgers - elk, camel, and bison. Bon Appétit!

I usually don't eat at my hotels but it was so cold I decided to give it a try. I was greeted quick and by a kind nice lady. I sat in Cindy's section let me tell you this woman oozes hospitality. She is kind caring and super attentive didn't have to ask for one thing she went above and beyond! she is a real winner for this place. The food was short of amazing the chowder had lots of seafood thick creamy sauce and no need for anything added. The sandwich was sooo huge I had to cut it in half had such great flavor the chicken is juicy and full of flavor with a nice crunch on the bread yet soft in the middle and lightly toasted. If you are in the area or staying here be sure to drop in for a bite and leave happy guaranteed!

Prices are very high for a windowless, ground-floor bar/eatery. The food was good, but not knock-your-socks-off good. The beef medallions were tiny for the money.Parking: Off-season parking is more than adequate but likely to be full in tourist season. Parking lot had not been plowed 2 days after a heavy snowfall.

I'm in Anchorage, from Homer, for business and went to have a drink at the bar. Amazing! Very attentive and welcoming. The bartender Erica was very much on her game and a true pleasure to see how professional she is at the same time being a true conversation starter and closer. I own a restaurant and can honestly say, I'm impressed and will recommend anyone I know to go, have a fabulous drink, good conversation, and leave with a smile on your face.Thank you Erica, best working trip EVER!

Lucy recommended this amazing White King Salmon and it was amazing! It paired great with hollandaise sauce!

The Mixed Game Burger was great, and so was our server Lucy. Good spot to stop in the Sheraton

Avoid eating here! Doordash will be quicker and better quality! The food and service in the Ptarmigan Lounge were just awful. We ate at the restaurant the first night we arrived in Anchorage. We'd been tired after traveling all day. It took 40 minutes for my husband's cocktail to arrive after he ordered it. It took over an hour and 15 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "stew" in the picture with a grilled cheese. It was more of a vegetable soup that tasted burnt, and the grilled cheese was toasted on only one side. Our server ignored us after she took our order. We had to talk to the host to find out if our food was coming. They blamed the delay on room service. Don't waste your time at this restaurant.

Bar and Grill located in the Sheraton Anchorage. Small Menu, good food. If it is busy be prepared to wait. The White King Salmon was outstanding.

Ptamarmigan Restaurant, in the Sheraton, Anchorage, Alaska. If I could give the service a zero review I would. The server was terrible! She disappeared more often than we saw her. We had to ask constantly for everything. We waited for the bill for at least a half hour. The food was barely warm, mostly room temperature, for as long as it took for it finally to come out. There were only 2 other diners. Automatically added to the bill was a 20% tip. She deserved a 2% tip at best!! TERRIBLE!!! TERRIBLE!!!! JUST TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!

Oof! I wish I could say good things, but it's hard to find any. The day we went it was extremely understaffed, a new chef, and service was slooow. When they say smoked salmon, it was liquid smoked to the hilt. Drinks came 25 minutes after we ordered them, even water. All in all, this will not be a place I recommend or go to again. This is more of a bar than a restaurant.

Very slow service and the food was very ordinary. I’d suggest in staffing was the issue this evening.

After seeing the Ptarmigan Bar & Grill during an event held at Sheraton Hotel and Spa and being served probably one of the best dinners, I've ever had in the event I knew I needed to give it a try. They had just put out the new menu for 2023 and I was impressed. We started with the buffalo shrimp, beautiful plating and perfectly cooked. We also had the Seafood chowder defiantly the best I've had! As for the entrees I had a Mixed Game Smash burger, and my partner had the fish tacos. The presentation was great the taste was amazing! The fish tacos were so big the tortilla was just enough to hold the filet, but the filets were much bigger than we expected! The cocktails were good, services were prompt and professional.10/10 Would highly suggest. Defiantly a new regular to this unique, beautiful and flavorful restaurant!
