The Saltry is a must do event if you visit Homer. It's a 45 minute boat ride on the Danny J to a small island called Halibut Cove. Halibut Cove is an artist community with a few galleries and an extensive board walk that goes around the public part of the island.
You take the Danny J boat across at 5pm. Dinner is at 6 and 7:30. Do the 7:30 dinner and walk around the island before dinner (good exercise, work up your appetite). Then, settle in for an awesome dinner.
To make reservations, you need to book the trip through Central Charters at 907-235-7847. You can usual do this a day in advance - but they do have limited (about 25 people) seating.

Best Italian food in town. 50 pizza choices, lots of standard Italian fare, and giant garlic everywhere. The atmosphere is great - casual but lively - and the bar is in the restaurant which adds some pep. The restaurant is a year old and they seem to be hitting their stride. Even the folks at Cups Cafe (the chi-chi place in town) orders pizza here late Saturday night for the staff.

Bunnell Street Gallery is the best contemporary gallery in Homer - maybe in Alaska. It rivals many big city galleries for quality, even though the choices are local artist only. It's run as a non-profit and the gallery head - Asia - is an accomplished artist in her own right. On the first Friday of every month ("first Friday") there is an open gallery with a new exhibit - we went tonight and the place was packed. Definitely worth a visit.

Tonight was our first night in Homer. Since it's the July 4th weekend, it's very busy. So - we trolled around looking for a place and the Fresh Catch Cafe caught our eye. It's one of the obviously new places this summer in the first boardwalk / pier area on the right next to Frosy Bear's Ice Cream. The service was great - two nice young girls - and quick - we had a bowl of chowder within 2 minutes of entering the restaurant. Amy and I both had the pasta with shrimp and halibut - delicious. Simple, quick, relatively inexpensive - and healthy. We'll be back.

Megan Gray - a licensed and certified massage therapist - gives the absolute best massages we've had in Alaska. Megan is a delightful person, can sense your mood immediately, has a great little massage studio, and is incredibly attentive. Amy and I have gotten massages all over the world - Megan is in the top few people we've had work on us.

The Homestead is on par with Cups and Lands End. It's a comfortable, spacious place about eight miles out on East End Road. The owners are delightful and make you feel at home. It's always moderately busy, so reservations are suggested, although they have a nice bar and plenty of walk in space during the week. The food is excellent and changes regularly, although there are a few mainstay dishes. The views are spectacular - try to get a seat facing out over Kachemak Bay.

We love Broadwalk Fish & Chips. Halfway down the Homer Spit on the right, this is the classic deep fried halibut (and other fish) place. It's totally casual, quick, and inexpensive ($40 for two people.) The food is fried, and fried, and fried. Don't forget to start with a clam chowder bread bowl. Yum.

Cosmic Kitchen is the best Tex-Mex in town by a mile. We love the place - super hippy style, delicious healthy food, mellow relaxing atmosphere, and gigantic portions. Get everything smothered - you want all the extra enchilada sauce. Breakfast, lunch, and now dinner is available. If you are in Homer, this is a must eat place.

Reservations a good idea. We stopped by at a little after 6 on 4/2/06. We were seated but the place immediately filled.
The food was delicious. Casual attire. Mostly locals it appeared.

Normally, in Homer you have to pay a lot for a few pieces of food. Captain Patties blew the cover off that one. We had a meal that was superb. Large portions, clean restaurant, table service...wonderful! We ordered Mozzarella sticks, a cheeseburger, crabmeat, and fried oysters. All dishes were were delicious, but the best part was the price...cheaper than the other restaurants that are self-serve.
Pros: Tasty food, great portions and prices
Cons: None
