A total gem in an area of overpriced and very average fare. The Cole's offer creative combinations that would get attention in any big city let alone the middle of Denali. The other reviews about what you pay are irrelevant as it is VERY reasonable compared to other offerings in the area (think "Salmon Bake") and you actually get incredible... more

We spent 10 nights eating all over Alaska and this was by far the best. However, it is very slow since it is a scratch restaurant and apparently only 1 cook. It is about 15 minutes south of the Denal park entrance but worth the drive if you are in the area. They don't take reservations so get there early... more

The food at 229 Parks is superb. Fresh, original, beautifully presented. Good wine list too. If you're anywhere close by, don't miss this place. more

We ate at this restaurant in July last year. Our group of six had a variety of items. The rabbit and salmon entrees were over cooked. The salads and dessert were excellent. more

Amazing!

We had two dinners here during our recent trip to Alaska. Everything is very fresh, well presented, and creatively put together. From amazing tamales to a distinctly unique take on a cheeseburger to amazing homemade ice cream, this was probably the best restaurant we encountered in Alaska during our stay. The restaurant's commitment to sustainability and locally sourced ingredients is... more

A must!

We were there in August and this is by far the best restaurant in the Denali area (and better than most in the U.S. too) The menu was a little intimidating, but the food was exquisite; so fresh and flavorful. The staff were very friendly and the facilities clean and nicely decorated. Highly recommended! more

This is a fantastic restaurant! It is a little south of the Denali area and worth every mile to get there. The food and menu are great! The service was great as well. They are known for their farm fresh veggies and herbs and unique menu. I had halibut and my husband had rabbit. It is more pricey than some... more

We stayed at Denali Cabins at mile 229. Another traveler said that 229 Parks had been recommended to them. They have two menus; on the restaurant menu, entrees are upwards of $30 but the tavern menu has selections priced below that. Both are served in the same large and spacious dining room. The food was excellent and the presentation was... more

We ate at 229 Parks in June, 2008. It was excellent; one of the top 5 meals I've ever had - the food was fresh and perfectly prepared. Halibut, tamales, fruit tart, etc. Our waiter was a lot of fun and made some great recommendations. Also has a nice Alaskan beer selection. We considered eating there every night, but figured... more

We were lucky to get seats for dinner at the bar and it turned out to be delightful. Great service, wine and food. And maybe the best salad either of us have ever eaten. The greens were so fresh and the other ingredients were outstanding in quality. The wine list was interesting, too. This restaurant is about 14 miles south... more
