Super nice restaurant! Difficult to find because it looked like an abandoned spot where the restaurant was located…but it totally fit with the exclusive atmosphere! Super delicious Beef Wellington and Cesar Salad!

AltaEats offers a culinary journey with highs and lows. This was my second visit to AltaEats. The first time was a 5 out 5. This visit offered inconsistency in both food and service. The salads (burrata and caesar) at AltaEats were a standout, offering fresh and flavorful combinations. Make sure to the delicious bacon-wrapped dates; a delightful blend of sweet and savory. The rib eye was okay. It didn't quite live up to our expectations. The bread & butter and pot de creme were both delicious. We fought over the lest bits of the desert. The service was a mixed. One waitress, notably wearing a provocative necklace, left much to be desired in terms of friendliness and professionalism. On the other hand, the second waitress provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience AltaEats offers a culinary adventure with standout dishes and a mix of service experiences. Your experiences may vary. They did for me.

Wonderful neighborhood gem! Stuffed dates, sautéed scallops and duck breast along with phenomenal wine pairings and attentive yet subtle service made for a great date night. We love the team at AltaEats!!

Beef Wellington was delicious! Scallops were very good, wish there were more than 3 on a plate. Rice and sauce with the scallops were very flavorful. Both the Apple Tart and the Chocolate Pot de Crème desserts were wonderful! Very pleasant service from everyone. Really nice place to eat. Very much a community feeling here. Loved it!

First and foremost the high reviews of this establishment are very over-exaggerated. The restaurant is very small and the tables are lumped together and it's very tight. Seems like you are inches away from the couple seated next to you.The food is just average at best. What made our experience less than acceptable was the fact that the wine list is subpar and very limited and the service was terrible. Our server came by the table like an order taker at a fast food restaurant multiple times despite us telling him that this was our first time he didn't make any recommendations for food or wine and was just trying to write down the order and get it sent to the kitchen. It's a shame because this place seems like it could have tremendous potential if the managers would just wake up, get some real wine, and some experienced servers that know how to treat patrons. My wife and I will never return to this establishment again.

A wonderful local small restaurant with tentative service and very good food! From the fantastic bread & delicious olives to start to the wonderful Salmon and Scallops. The $ 15 corkage fee was very inexpensive. Everything was very nice and we would recommend this to everyone. Enjoy!

It was all so tasty. I could eat their Caesar salad every day! The beef Wellington was off the chart delicious as well as the NY. The bread and butter mmmmm. We did the pick a bottle of mystery wine and ended up with a decent cab - fun! Service was impeccable but in the best not stuffy way. It wasn't our first time there but definitely the best. Now I want more salad ? Oh and your happy Birthday message on my to go box - so sweet. Thank you ?

We enjoyed a fantastic meal with excellent wine pairing at a reasonable price point. The owner and staff were very friendly greeting our party and making sure our experience was satisfying. The ambiance was comfortable with our party having no difficulty hearing one another as we conversed. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to dining there again.

A well used space, not to large not to small. Great service coupled with a plethora of flavorful food.
