Reviews For The Reluctant Fisherman Bar & Restaurant

Thai is a great place. I wish there was a 6 star rating because they would definitely get that from me. It’s close to everything, the accommodations are fantastic, the staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed or wanted. The bar and restaurant staff, food, and service is 2nd to none. No concierge needed here, the staff just knows and does!

Hotel room was excellent for the price, the bar/grill attached is excellent quality, well built. The atmosphere was phenomenal. Bar was well stocked. Food was awesome and service was above and beyond expectations. If Jake is working he is awesome and works hard to satisfy. 5/5 stars for service to Jake and 5/5 for price/quality of food to the cook. Loved my experience. Will highly recommend this bar/restaurant to anyone. Thank you Jake for such an awesome experience and for cutting me off alcohol when I asked you too. You are phenomenal and deserve the tips. Thank you again.

Delicious food with an incredible view. Everyone is so kind and working very hard to take care of more tables than they should have to. Suggestion to owners to hire a couple more waiters. Thank you for a great dinner!

I've been coming to Cordova since the mid 1990's. This Hotel has an outstanding waterfront. harbor front location with excellent views. The rooms are newer updated and quite comfortable. Fresh local sea food is always available in the restaurant. Good service, food selections with good craft beers on draft.

The restaurant overlooks the harbor, awesome view. The decor is charming and the food is delicious. My husband and I both had the rockfish and chips. The french fries here are nice and crispy, my husband likes the Cajun fries as they are a bit spicy. Lots of Alaska beers on tap too.

Great service, traveled with a large group and was very accommodating to our needs. Opened up just for us for breakfast and lunch on no notice so we could feed 30 people. Can’t speak highly enough.
