Charter's Restaurant

ELK LAKE / CORDOVA BAY. If you ask a local for a restaurant-with-a-view recommendation, McMorran's Beach House is likely to be mentioned near the top of the list. The setting is perfect for sea-gazing, whether you're inside the dining room or out on the patio. Whet your appetite with cheese fondue for two, or deep fried Fanny Bay oysters. Satisfy your craving for seafood with the "Sea Harvest Bake," a combination of shrimp, halibut, salmon, scallops and crab claws in white wine cream sauce. Try the Asian inspired soy-marinated salmon with lime leaves, pink peppercorns and ginger, topped with a luscious brandy-cream fraiche sauce. Steaks, pastas and meal-sized salads are also popular. At lunch, an abbreviated dinner menu is available, along with sandwiches and burgers.
