It felt as if my best friend, who cooks these type of food for me, had invited me to his Abuela’s for dinner. Food was delicious. Tori had many tables but managed to get our orders fast. I will be coming back. Highly recommend

5/5 on taste, service and atmosphere, but the value of what you get vs what you pay for is astounding. $5.50 for a drip coffee which says it includes one free refill, but the cup itself looks like it is about 4 oz.
The small dish pictured was $31 alone or $38 including the chicken andouille sausage. $7 for 5 small thinly sliced pieces of sausage is really high.
Again I loved the food but not worth what it costs. Sorry. If I’ve paid $38 for a breakfast dish I really do not want to be be wondering what I should pick up on the way home to fill me up.

Great atmosphere. Upscale home cooking. For the prices, paired side dishes should come with the entrée. They don’t, except for a bed of grits that come with the delicious oxtail. The brisket was dry and not tender. Very little sauce came with the brisket and scarcely added to the flavor. The blackened salmon was nicely cooked but all the seasoning (blackening) was on one edge of the filet. Fried chicken was good, but all you get is three pieces, nothing else for the price. The yams and mac&cheese were ok (mom’s are better) but was the price justified? I could go there again (very pricey), but I’ll go to mom’s instead.

The restaurant from the outside looks very small. The interior is divided up into several large rooms and there are outside sections in rear of the restaurant that is open air. There are several heating units on the upper walls and portable heating units on the floor. The tables are chairs are easy to move around to accommodate all size parties. There is a full service bar. The prices are moderate. Some of the dishes served were good and other dishes served were fair. The service was very good and the restaurant is very clean.

Beautiful aesthetics, tasty food and great service. I visited with a group and was impressed. They are pricey because I had never paid $6 for a cup of hot tea. The house made hot sauce was tasty and I purchased a bottle as a gift for someone I know who loves hot sauce. Loved the brisket!

We had an amazing experience! We drove up from San Diego after seeing the show on Selena+ Restaurant. Everything exceeded our expectations! Chef Keith was so wonderful, our server Juan was attentive and lovely, and the entire staff was warm and welcoming!

I had the chicken gumbo with the shrimp add on and I loved it! The shrimp was grilled and the rice was super fresh and not dry. It went well with the Pinot Noir.
The servers were also super polite and very attending. I would definitely come back again ❤️

First time coming here. The place was beautiful, open and spacious. The food was delicious, the best chicken & waffles I’ve ever had. You can really taste the quality, good ingredients & love put into the food. Service was great, everyone was helpful, from the hostess, to server & everyone in between.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The food? Delicious! The drinks? Deliciously effective! The atmosphere? A total vibe!
We’re visiting LA and stopped into Alta at a friend’s recommendation. We had the “old dog new trick,” which is their version of an old fashioned. It was initially a bit sweet but once the ice melted in slowly (large cube) it was delicious and mellowing. The deviled eggs were all the rave and so were the black eyed peas fritters. Warning for the spiced challenged… the fritters are a bit on the spicy side and are served with an amazing avacado whip sauce. I cannot tolerate spicy foods (I’m a spicy wimp really) but the flavor… amazing, with hints of corn meal infused, almost like mama’s dressing from the Deep South! The fried chicken was so good and flavorful yet crispy and the yams were fantastic as well. The chicken was a 6 piece order shared by the table and had 2 drums, 2 wings and 2 thighs. We took a slice of sweet potato cheesecake to go. I only wish I knew how amazing it was going to be before ordering it to go because it goes great with fresh coffee. The service was exceptional with very helpful host and wait staff! The music was a chill 90s R&B playlist. Parking is on the street but there is a valet option for $10 plus gratuity. Overall, so glad we came and will definitely return if time permits!

The vibe was pretty cool (decor, ambiance, crowd, and music selection) however the food was overpriced and underwhelming. The portions were small and the flavor just wasn’t there.
I ordered the fried catfish and grits and candied yams. They gave me two small pieces of fried catfish and a small amount of grits. The grits had a good texture, but they were bland and so was the sauce they were covered in. It came with chunks of sausage and two TINY pieces of okra. For the price, I expected much more flavor and a much larger portion. The candied yams were regular, but the sauce was too watery.
The waitress was cool, but nothing to rave about.
The greeter was blah. It almost seemed as if she didn’t enjoy her job. Random wait staff asking how the food was were more enthusiastic than the greeter. For the price, I expected someone warmer.
Valet was friendly.
My friend and I were in agreement that the food was underwhelming and overpriced, but the atmosphere was nice.
