Planner Spotlight: Rising Tide Communications
few storefronts, and even more options a short drive away. For the foodies who search out new flavors, Sitka boasts multiple chefs who create mouthwatering food fusions using local ingredients. If perfectly grilled steak or gourmet pizza is more your style, there are restaurants ready to satisfy your appetite.
To create inspirational receptions, our chefs and bartenders love to work with planners to create signature drinks and appetizers, and local musicians can add a special musical flair to your event. At the end of the day, head downtown for libations and networking. If you are in the mood for a hand-shaken martini, a signature cocktail, or over 20 beers on tap, you will find what you are craving steps away from your meeting venue. Cozy up with a small group in one of Sitka’ s small wine bar and dining venues, and be sure to check the local entertainment calendar for live entertainment and the best place for karaoke and dancing.
Planner Spotlight: Rising Tide Communications
When Rising Tide Communications came to town to host a group of culinary media professionals and chefs, Sitka’ s local food scene embraced them with open arms. While restaurant-hopping in Sitka, the group sampled local cuisine from a variety of our downtown restaurants. They even bought fresh seafood, including local delicacies like spot prawns and salmon, directly from the fisherman who caught them. Attendees met with harvesters who taught them how to sustainably collect ingredients from Sitka’ s waters and temperate rainforest. From sea asparagus, to beach greens, to berries, they tasted everything Sitka’ s natural environment had to offer. The group also visited downtown shops like our local salt company, which sources water straight from Sitka Sound to create unique flake salt that’ s flavored with spruce and blueberries found in the Tongass National Forest.
