Awesome fish and chips! The fish was cooked perfectly and the tarter sauce was excellent. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and... dog friendly patio! Read more
This was an "end of season", visit. They should be open all winter. This restaurant is loved by the locals and our experience is... that the coffee is very good roasted at Captains Coffee in Homer. The pizza was made to order with our desire to go light onthe Mozzarella and more parmesian. It was perfect and very good! Read more
We took the Discovery tour, which gives you 2 hours in Seldovia, and while most of the other people seemed to just go straight... across the street to the bar, we went a little further afield. Turn left as you exit the ramp, and you'll find Jack and Aiva'sjust across from the post office. Upon entering the restaurant, you're immediately greeted by a friendly gentleman who Ibelieve is one of the proprietors (but not the eponymous Jack; that's actually the young son of the owners), who is there totake care of you. They have several indoor tables of good size (we were easily able to fit our menagerie of four adults and twosmall children around one of them), and they also have a deck overlooking the waterfront, which was an ideal place for ourtoddler to explore while waiting for food. The indoor tables have a lovely beach aesthetic, with glass tops revealing a sanddiorama with shell and pearl designs. I have included a picture for your perusal. The store is also lined with artwork from alocal artist, which is unique and lovely for those of a more artistic bent. But, of course, we are here for food and drink. The restaurant got fairly busy, but there was very little wait; service was efficient and friendly, and you'll have plenty oftime to enjoy a meal and get back to the boat if you head there immediately. I'm assuming that this place will become much morepopular. At time of writing it has only been open for a couple years and seems to be in the hidden gem category. Coffee wasexcellent, and frankly far better than I was expecting. I've had far worse in coffee shops. My blended mocha and my wife's hotmocha were both full of great flavor (and caffeine, because as parents of small children, that's essential right now) and reallyset the stage for the meal to come. The menu, included here, is relatively brief, but I really don't think it needs to be anymore extensive. My wife ordered a Build Your Own Burger with their house made salmon burger (not gl Read more
Delicious lunch stop, friendly staff and perfect views. Loved the decor. The salmon burger was cooked perfectly and very... filling! Read more
Ate breakfast here each day of our three day stay in wonderful Seldovia. The food was delicious and served in large portion. I... had a scramble one day, french toast the next and biscuits and gravy our last day. Also the best coffee shop in town. All theirbread products are made fresh on site. Friendly staff and owner.

Inlet views and tasty brews. A family joint that provides an excellent brew list and deck dining that makes the ferry trip worth... it. Bonus points if owner Jack decides to check on his customers. He?s a vicarious 5-year old whose namesake adorns this hiddengem. While his grandparents may be on the mortgage, he?s the face of this business. If you?re in Homer, take a half day andvisit this charming all-American town and meet the gracious residents that are quick with a wave as they drive past or welcomeyou into their shop or restaurant.
