Cuisine at Alaska's Boardwalk Lodge
Guests enjoy gourmet fare in our relaxing, rustic dining room.
Executive Chef Eric Schultz draws from a number of culinary styles and methods to create a wide range of delicious and attractive signature offerings that make use of local ingredients in season and elegantly reflect the rugged and aesthetic beauty of Southeast Alaska.
Breakfast is made-to-order.
Hearty and delicious breakfast selections are the key to a great start in the Alaskan wilderness. Enjoy pancakes, homemade cereals, and fresh breads and muffins – often prepared with locally grown, fresh-picked, wild berries. High protein selections include omelets, (try the crab and cheese omelet… Wow!), eggs cooked to order, and a wide selection of breakfast meats and sausages. Beverages include gourmet coffees and teas, hot chocolate, a selection of juices, milk and smoothies.
Lunch
How do you create a sumptuous, moveable feast for guests who are out on boats or sitting on the bank of a river? This is the question that Chef Eric and his staff are continuously working to answer. They have developed a daily lunch buffet from which guests select a wide variety of nutritious and tasty snacks, sandwich items, drinks, fruit, and freshly baked homemade cookies to create a lunch meal that suits their own tastes and convenience preferences. As in all his offerings, Chef Eric is constantly testing and trying new ideas and menu items that will result in pleasant surprises for his guests.
Hors d'oeuvres Reception
The Hors d'oeuvres Reception is from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. To prepare for this daily event, all of our boats and freshwater guides return to the lodge with their guests at 5 p.m. At that time, guests have a chance to freshen up from a long day of fishing or sightseeing while their guides and dock staff unload and prepare fish for freezing, and the culinary staff prepares a selection of hors d'oeuvres and beverages. At this reception, guests often are forced to make a choice between filling up on the delicious appetizers and saving room for dinner. We strongly advise saving room.
Dinner
This is the meal in which Chef Eric and his staff really shine. Here their creativity and expertise show even more dramatically; and your Alaskan dining experience is raised to a whole new level.
One of the first things you may notice when you enter the dining room at the main lodge is the hand-lettered menus at each table. On each menu are the various courses for the meal, often with a personal note of congratulations to the day's most successful angler, or a welcome to the Lodge's new guests. These informal and personalized menus have become so popular with our guests that they often keep them as souvenirs of their trip.
Chef Eric and his staff create the evening's menu each morning. This allows for guest preferences, seasonally available ingredients and the fresh catch of the day to be utilized in creating a menu to fit the ever changing moods of Southeast Alaska. Often times, changes are made at the last minute to take advantage of these gifts from nature (or the chef's fancy!).
Choose from the surf and turf entrees
each evening, or enjoy some of each. Above, a mouthwatering pork tenderloin with orange sauce and fresh string beans.
Below, poached halibut on a bed of rice with snow peas.
Entrees include Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb, filet mignon, New York and t-bone steaks, Seared Salmon with Lemon Cream, Halibut Alyeska with Crab, and Oyster Stuffed Rockfish Fillet, with such accompaniments as braised spinach, garlic mashed potatoes, tender broccoli, roasted new potatoes, artichoke risotto, and pickled sea asparagus.
Finishers include Warm Apple Blueberry Crisp, Grand Marnier Crème Brulee, Bananas Foster on Vanilla Ice Cream, or Lemon Cheesecake with Fresh Raspberries. Two different entree and dessert options are offered each evening. If you can't decide, have some of both.
Will you or a member of your group have a birthday or an anniversary or other special event while at the lodge? Let us know and then plan on great surprises for that person, compliments of Chef Eric and his crew.
We are also happy to accommodate special dietary needs with advance notice.
Beverage Service
During the day, boat coolers are stocked with your choice of soft drinks, bottled water and popular beer brands. Mixed drinks, wine, and beer are available free of charge during the Hors d'oeuvres Reception. House wines and beers are also available free during dinner meals and throughout the evening. Specialty beverages not ordinarily stocked can be obtained by the drink, and guests may bring their own spirits to the lodge if they prefer.
