Simple Perfection: Beef the Way It’s Meant to Be
Primal
Dining at Stalk is a sensory journey—a deep, instinctual connection to the power and pleasure of fine dining.
This primal connection to food, drink, and atmosphere sets Stalk apart, creating a dining experience that is as bold and instinctual as it is refined and elegant.

At the heart of the menu is USDA prime beef. Whether dry aged or wet aged, our stakes are minimally seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter to let the premium quality shine.
These steaks are bold yet refined, offering a classic fine-dining experience elevated by their tenderness and rich flavor. Locally sourced seafood expands the menu, bringing Alaska’s best scallops, oysters, salmon, and halibut to the table—crafted with the same commitment to quality and care.
Complementing the main dishes is a selection of thoughtful sides, house-made sauces, and flavored butters, crafted to enhance every bite and celebrate seasonal ingredients.
-
Cole Curtner leads the way with a beverage program that mirrors the intentionality and care of our food.
At the heart of his craft is the Zero Program, offering artfully crafted mocktails and non-alcoholic beverages that deliver bold, sophisticated flavors for every guest to enjoy.
-
The sensory experience continues with a sommelier-curated wine cellar, boasting 900 bottles and Alaska’s finest champagne selection. Guests can also enjoy local craft beers on draft, including Odd Man Rush.

It’s this people-centered approach—team and guests alike—that defines who we are:
A community brought together by a love of hospitality, exceptional standards, and meaningful connections.
