    Great food and ambiance- I’m gluten and dairy free and the staff is great at accommodating my needs- I love burgers and ate the smash burger over salad- this means the flavor of the burger is really important (no added cheese, sauce etc) the flavor of the Alter House smash burger was out of this world! I also love their creative cocktails and wine list.

    Tricia, We are so pleased to hear you were able to have options even with your dietary restrictions. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the quality of ingredients and the art Chef puts on the plates. Cheers to you!

    We’ve been here a few times and have loved everything every single time. This time, we had Alyssa as our server who was attentive and sweet. Hayden also passed by our table a few times to make sure everything was up to par. The cocktails were fantastic and the food was delicious. Can’t wait to come back.

    This was our first visit to Alter House and it was a great experience. Our server, Alyssa, was upbeat and very welcoming. There was a great selection of craft beers and specialty cocktails. The menu selections were well plentiful and all looked delicious.
