My wife and I are in Juneau, for a wedding, for the weekend. We are staying at the Westmark Baranof Hotel and decided to eat at the in hotel restaurant, the Capital Cafe. I am usually a bit wary of in hotel cafe type restaurants. They are not usually unique fine dining experience, and the Capital Cafe definitely backed up my instincts. Let's just say, I saw the "Grand Slam Breakfast" as one of the options the menu...not really a good sign.
However, I also saw Eggs Benedict which I love...so I ordered those. They weren't inedible, but I am pretty sure the hollandaise came from a packet and was not made from scratch. Not much flavor or richness and it needed salt. The eggs themselves were actually poached almost perfectly, so the breakfast was not a complete loss. Add a side of extra greasy hash-browns, and lets just say I was underwhelmed.
The waitstaff was friendly, but the restaurant was loud with silverware and plates being bussed and dumped into bins. Not really a relaxing environment, which I would have been able to overlook with great food, so....no joy.
Capital Cafe:
Address - 127 N Franklin St, Juneau, AK 99801
Phone - 907-586-2660
Website - www.westmarkhotels.com/juneau-food.php
Reservations - probably not needed, but you could call ahead to see.
Overall Recommendation: This not the worst hotel restaurant I have been to. It serves an adequate variety of breakfast foods. However, if you are looking for a great dining experience, look elsewhere.
