During the day, the Marx Bros. Cafe exhibits minimal activity, but once the dinner hour approaches, a crescendo of activity commences as locals and travelers from afar, converge upon the little house for an evening of exquisite dining. The 46-seat restaurant serves an average of 60 dinners each night. Welcomed at the door by partner Van Hale, one is immediately impressed with the comfortably elegant atmosphere provided by the originally preserved town site house and the tastefully selected furnishings and table settings.

"...The Marx Bros. is the best restaurant in Alaska," reported two restaurant reviewers in the Anchorage Daily News. From the outside, the quaint small house located on the scenic bluff overlooking the Cook Inlet in downtown Anchorage, would not appear to be the location of a business that "has probably done more for advancing Alaska's culinary appreciation than any other single restaurant" (Diversion Magazine).

"The little house on Third Avenue - consistently offers the freshest, most innovative, exciting dishes to be had in the State..." (Anchorage Daily News). No wonder Pacific Northwest Magazine's readers picked the Marx Bros. Cafe as their favorite restaurant in 1991.
