The food was great. Took a long time to come out though. I wish our waiter had been more attentive and more present. We had to kind of flag him down at times. I had the crispy pork belly and it was good. I think it needed a little more seasoning but that's my personal opinion. Veggies were cooked prefect. The appetizers were so good. I ordered the dates and they were to die for. The Mac n cheese was so Creamy. The goat cheese and Brussel sprouts had my mouth watering. Very good. My friend had the primavera which was wonderful but the bread it came with had no butter offered with it which was disappointing and the half chicken was slightly dry which was to bad because the flavor was on point.

My wife and I took our kids there on a Thursday night, 3-16-23. The staff was very friendly and we had a great experience. My wife had shrimp pasta, and I had fish and chips. Both meals were amazing, along with the dessert. Great price, and the view is amazing.

There is one problem, though. My wife is pregnant, and we live in Nebraska. Guess who is craving the shrimp pasta now that we are home.

We've been hearing how the Flats is the best place to eat on the peninsula since we moved here; but never had a chance to eat there until recently.
No reservations needed, we happened to go there during live music night (Thursday)! We were worried about our 2yr old running amuck and the noise pushing his terrible toddler destructive path further. Turns out the little man loved watching the performer and sat captivated the whole time! Not to mention he scarfed his kids meal down. He actually finished all his cheeseburger and fries! High reviews from that little dude.

Parking: The entrance was harder for first time goers. Could be the piles of snow or having to slow down coming in from a busy high speed road that made it hard. Either way the sparse parking fills up fast. Maybe they measure their parking lot for the capacity of the dining hall?

Atmosphere: Classy cabin on the Kenai. They capitalized on the view of the vast open river. Or at least the flat area that the river runs through. Upon entry our toddler pointed out local photos of wildlife on the walls. The bar area isn't in your face like other places. The live performer made it a little loud over the restaurant chatter. But he was a talented man that didn't seem overbearing with his music.

Service: We were greeted upon entry and didn't see the sign in on the counter. However, we were still seated quickly. We felt like service was a little slow and she provided a coloring page for the kids but no crayons, even after we asked. The manager/ maybe owner was walking around observing and checking with guests.

Food: Cheeseburger was a win with the toddler. Gumbo was a win with the spouse, although a little peppery. Fowl was cooked perfectly and tasted like like the flavors of Alaska and northern lights.

Excellent food and services. One of the best restaurants in the area. Highly recommend making a reservation for larger parties.

For the prices they charge for these meals they should come with soup or salad and a basket of bread. Every fine restaurant serves these. My husband's meal was maybe a cup of food no salad no bread. $17.00 wow. It was blackened shrimp with gnocchi with was not on the menu, but they made the gnocchi with shrimp and it was blackened. Would have been so much better on fettuccine, he had to order a salad which he had to pay extra for. I had the back yard burger! Fabulous it was the best meal at the table. Fish and chips 3 golf ball sized pieces of fish. And fries!!!!are you kidding! Go to duck inn or main street if you want good fish and chips. You get what you pay for. The jalapeno popper stuffed pork was very tasty.

A good friend proposed here and the staff went far above and beyond to make the event perfect. And to top it all off, the food was absolutely incredible. I had the crab stuffed rockfish and it may have been one of the best things I've ever eaten. The views are stunning, so if you're looking for a nice restaurant on the peninsula for a night out or a special occasion, I highly recommend checking out The Flats Bistro.

For an enjoyable dining experience The Flats Bistro is one of two of my favorite restaurants in the area.
My group of 6 including 3 children appreciate their effort to keep us entertained by live music with coloring for the kids.
The blackened shrimp fettuccini was cooked to perfection.
The sides were shared amongst us and chicken pieces from the child’s menu.
All was delicious.
