tablehopperAugust 3, 2014The cracked wheat porridge is quickly becoming a cult classic, don't miss it, even if it sounds boring.
Mark DregerFebruary 15, 2014Burger was amazing – perfect seasoning and the sesame bun. You won't regret it.
Tom🐳 LimongelloJanuary 22, 2015Try the pork trotter, cheeseburger, or onion soup. Leave room for the sundae.
Simple but super tasteful American dishes and great cocktails!
The service is definitely hit or miss.Coupled with average favorite dishes and you leave wondering, "Why?" That and it's not a strong menu, few standout items, but rounded full menu it is not.
John QuintanaJune 7, 2014Try the hard boiled eggs and let the bartenders make something spectacular for you.
Stay late for the snow ball fight with Aaron (usually just before closing). Winner gets shots.
Brad TDecember 18, 2013Great food. Black cod was awesome. Service still has some kinks tho. Lil slow.
They hide some really good warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert here.
MLOMarch 26, 2014Pay with Cover. Fast, easy, and removed any awkwardness of who's picking up the tab.
Vivian WangAugust 16, 2015Good pig trotters and cocktails. The beef stroganoff was a bit dry. Overall good food but pricey.
CoverMay 8, 2014Pay with Cover to skip waiting for the check and easily split the bill with your friends.
Pete SchirmerFebruary 5, 2014if you're curious about the Curious George- please allow me to ruin it for you: it tastes like pickled egg
Pueblo Viejo TequilaMarch 28, 2016The Easter colors reflect in a Margarita mixed with Pueblo Viejo. Get yours here at Alta CA!
