Dining at the Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge

As part of your stay at the remote Fox Island, you'll enjoy innovative meals infused with seasonal ingredients found around the Pacific Northwest, served with exceptional service and stunning views of Resurrection Bay.

Comfortable and memorable fine dining means you experience the food and meet the chefs themselves. Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge is about the peaceful serenity of Fox Island, the lush greenery of the surrounding forest and the wide-open Alaska skies above.

Dining on Fox Island is unique, personal, fresh and exciting. Between meals, you can relax in the comfortable lodge, or kick back on the deck enjoying the view and scouting for wildlife. Sip on a glass of wine, try an appetizer and chat with your companions or fellow guests—there’s plenty to do (and not do) on Fox Island.

We are very excited to have Chef Landon Schoenefeld for the 2018 season at Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge. 

Seeking adventure only to be found in Alaska, Chef Landon Schoenefeld joined Kenai Fjords Wilderness lodge to fulfill a desire to work with fresh local seafood, and be immersed in nature. 

Chef Landon has over 17 years of experience in the Twin Cities where he has had the opportunity to work and learn from some of the best chefs. Eventually, he opened his own restaurant HauteDish in 2010 where he was nominated one of Food and Wine Magazine's Best New Chefs for 2011 and 2012. 
 
In 2015 he opened his second restaurant, Nighthawks, a diner serving upscale takes on the classics. Then in the fall of 2015 they added Birdie, a chef's table annex to Nighthawks that serves vegetable centric multi-course tasting menus to a limited amount of guests. Landon’s restaurants have been featured in Food and Wine, Bon Appetit, Savuer, The New York Times, as well as many other local publications. 

Recently, Landon has changed gears and is focused on traveling and seeing the world, which had him jump at the chance to spend the summer in Alaska. He worked in Denali back in 2004 and never could shake the beauty of Alaska from his mind and Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge is a perfect fit! 

Executive Chef Jason Kuehl, based in Seward, facilitates the culinary cuisine for Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge—preparing pastries, ordering fine Alaska seafood and coordinating delivery to the remote island lodge.
