At Beak Restaurant, we are committed to promoting meaningful community engagement and providing a taste of the Southeast Alaskan lifestyle. We specialize in high-quality local seafood with excellent service. We celebrate and cultivate the local economy by creating sustainable year-round jobs in Sitka and by serving Alaskan-sourced food. Our restaurant is deeply committed to providing a meaningful experience to our guests. We want to make a personal connection with everyone who walks through our doors. Our meals are meant to nourish and delight, and our atmosphere will contribute to a sense of home. Beak Restaurant is pioneering the unconventional ‘Gratuity Free’ model of compensation, which means that all menu prices will include service, and there will be no tipping. This model ensures a consistent living wage for our full-time employees, though it also benefits the guest. Even though prices will initially appear higher to the guest, they will more accurately represent the final price of the meal, resulting in more honest prices.

Gooseneck barnacles, about to be cooked! We boil them for 4 min, in water as salty as the sea, with bay leaf, peppercorn, and lemon juice. After that, a brief shock in the ice bath, and then they are ready to eat!

Get them while they last!!

It’s Culinary Arts Month! We’re celebrating the people behind your favorite sustainable seafood dishes—like Chef Renée Trafton, owner of Beak Restaurant in Sitka, Alaska. At Beak, Chef Trafton’s menu focuses primarily on seafood caught by small boat fishermen in the waters of Alaska’s Inland Passage.

Like many culinary experts, Chef Trafton’s philosophy revolves around practicing sustainability, fostering community, and showcasing quality local ingredients.
