Where's the Only Restaurant in Alaska by a Michelin Starred Chef?

That's a trick question.Michelin, who issues the most coveted fine dining ratings, only evaluates restaurants in three US cities: New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.Not Alaska.

But there is still one place you can dine in Alaska at a restaurant by America's most acclaimed Michelin starred chef.

Chef Thomas Keller is the only American chef to have been awarded simultaneous top, three star Michelin ratings for two different restaurants.At time of writing, he has not one, not two, but three Michelin starred restaurants in the U.S., with a combined total of 7 stars:his landmark Napa restaurant The French Laundry (3 stars), nearby Bouchon (1 star) and New York's hit restaurant, Per Se (3 stars).

Reservations book up months in advance to Chef Keller's restaurants on land, and like most Michelin-starred dining, the prices correspond to the stratospheric culinary experience.

We know people who've booked a Seabourn cruise just for The Grill, and for good reason.It's a new restaurant concept for Chef Keller.The Grill is an updated iteration of a mid-century American steakhouse, with brilliantly polished rich wood, the sexy curves of leather banquettes, muted chimes of sparkling crystal, extraordinary custom cocktails, a wine list that celebrates both Old and New World vintages, and a menu of Chef Keller's interpretations of classic, French-inspired American cuisine, from cuts of meat to the same 'Roast Chicken for Two' perfected at The French Laundry, Lobster Thermidor and even ice cream sundaes.He's even resurrected the almost-lost, charming practice of tableside preparations of exquisite Caesar Salad and the sundaes.

When Vanessa Lee of Cruise & Travel Lifestyles magazine and I dined on the Seabourn Quest at The Grill, we had the pleasure of meeting the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group's ambassador Chef Michael Sandoval tableside, and our wonderful conversation with him gave us real insights into the Chef Keller culinary philosophy and story.A highlight of our journey!

The best part? Everywhere on every continent Seabourn sails, The Grill is there.Even Alaska.

So you can wonder at the breathtaking landscapes, magnificent wildlife, rustic charm and one-of-a-kind lifestyle of America's Last Frontier by day… and indulge in the phenomenal cuisine of 'The Best Chef in America' on board in the evening.

I think that's the very definition of good living, Seabourn-style.
