I came today to celebrate my birthday and I was not pleased with the service I received. The waitress unfortunately ruin the experience. We were served our appetizer at 7:49 and ordered entrees at 8:00pm. During the wait the waiter never came back to let us know any updates on the food, never offered us additional water which we had for the entire time. At this point the ice melted and was warm. She never asked us would we like refills on our drinks in between time. We finally received our food at 8:55 and unfortunately we no longer were hungry. We didn’t speak to management regarding the services he offered to take money off which was not what we were looking for. We just wanted to let management know that the service was horrible. Food was amazing atmosphere was nice just wished the service were better.

While Altana has nice views and great cocktails. The service is a bit slow, granted we were there on a Saturday evening. It took awhile to get our first round of cocktails but they were very good! Food took even longer and when it arrived my husband’s ribs were dry and over cooked. My filet was also over cooked, ordered medium rare and received well done. It also tasted like someone accidentally spilled a lot of black pepper on it and then tried to cover it up with the sauce. While our server was polite, he was few and far between when we needed him. Considering how expensive it was definitely not worth what we paid. Might be back for cocktails only. Very disappointed in the food. With such a small menu they should have perfected the few main entrees they do have but a las still far off from “perfecting” the dishes.

Went here with no reservation. Luckily, we got there before the rush and were able to get a table. Beautiful place. Atmosphere was nice. Service was prompt. I had a bourbon bramble to drink, which was good. The wife and I shared the salmon tacos for an appetizer. They were good but I think a little over priced. My wife had the southwest chicken salad. It was visually appealing and looked very well proportionate with the ingredients. My wife said the flavor was good, the dressing had a slight bit of heat. (Expected with a southwest chicken). She did comment that it could have used a bit more lettuce. I had the Altana burger with fries. The fries were curly fries. Seasoned and cooked nicely. The burger looked delicious, however the balsamic caramelized onions were way too sweet. To the point where I couldn’t eat any more of it. Chocolate creme brulee for dessert was tasty. It wasn’t overly sweet. Probably should have passed on that because of the sweetness of the burger but I do love me some dessert. I would eat here again but definitely wouldn’t get the burger.

I love the rooftop lounge!
I first went there in 2021 with a friend for dinner. We both had the lobster roll and it was delicious! I’m from New England and am a bit finicky about my seafood, and was happily surprised at how good the lobster roll was.
I went again yesterday for my birthday. Although it was cool and a bit windy, I really wanted to eat on the rooftop and watch the sunset. We were the only ones up there, and it was perfect. The sunset was gorgeous and it was worth being a little cool.
We started with the charcuterie board which was just the right size for the tow of us. Lovely selection of meats, cheeses and fresh fruit.
I had one of the signature cocktails, the bourbon bramble. It was so good.
For dinner, I had the pork tenderloin, which was served on a bed of kale with baby Brussels sprouts, butternut squash and bacon. It was amazing! The pork was so tender that you could cut it with a butter knife. The veggies were cooked perfectly and were very flavorful. My husband had the crab stuffed Cod which had a cream based sauce, and he said it was excellent.
I also want to compliment our wait staff. Even though we were the only diners on the rooftop, the service was excellent. Josh, our waiter was covering a lot of ground but we never felt ignored. I know it must have been extra work with just us up there, but everyone was wonderful.
I did see the indoor dining room and it is lovely – very warm and inviting. I know I will be going back soon to eat indoors, and to have the crab stuffed Cod and another of Altana’s signature cocktails.

We have visited Altana on many occasions and the food and drink are always absolutely delicious. We have never been disappointed. Also, the host, especially on our most recent visits has been such a gentleman and it shows he truly cares about his job. The only complaint I have is that they pretty consistently start trying to get you to leave around an hour before close. We like a late dinner, around 8pm (this week we were trying to catch the 8:15 sunset) and pretty much every time, we’ve been warned about an hour before close (9pm) that they are “about to close.” We never intend to stay past close but we do like to enjoy a drink and a chat after dinner. I totally respect the staff and would always leave well before close. They are not super pushy but the warning makes you feel like you need to down your drink and run. If you eat earlier, I’m sure you will have no issues whatsoever. Excellent food and customer service on the front end. Bartenders make the most perfect drinks.

Took my wife on Valentine’s Day. First impression was wow! The restaurant is beautiful. Nice ambiance with light jazz softly playing in the background. The main dining room is on the 2nd floor of the building and there was a rooftop lounge, which was closed for dining, but open for viewing the city (I’m guessing it’s seasonal). Nice views of the square, the Marriott tower, the Trinity Lutheran Steeple. We didn’t expect it to be too busy as we made reservations for 4:45pm. When we arrived there was only a small party of Galentine ladies and a few couples. We ordered our food before 5:00pm and at 5:00 it started to fill up. Our appetizer came out about 20 minutes after we ordered. However, we noticed that some couples that came after us had already received their food before we got our appetizer (pretzel bites which were very dark, luke warm and dry). The portion was very small, so we asked for more rolls. The rolls were good, but lukewarm. At 6:00 we noticed that the galentines girls and a few of the couples that were there before us still hadn’t had their food, so we weren’t too hopeful. I waved our waiter over and asked what was going on. He said that there was an issue with the ticket machine and that the tickets weren’t coming out for 40 minutes and then they all came out at one time. He never thought to share that there was a delay… I noticed that most of the food that was coming out was the burger and fries (you’d think it wouldn’t take that long to cook a burger and drop some fries). About an hour and a half after we arrived we finally received our food ( I also ordered the burger and my wife ordered the Chilean sea bass), and my umami fries were luke warm and overcooked. They did bring out a nice big bowl of fresh (overcooked) fries to “make it right”. The burger was pretty good. Both meals were on the “large plate” section of the menu, but the plate was the only thing that was large. My wife did enjoy her meal. After filling up on bread, we opted not to have dessert (even tho the espresso cheesecake was calling my name). The gentleman next to us was very upset about his experience and declared that, though he had dined at the restaurant before, he would never return after this experience. The waiter apologized and said that all the kitchen staff were new. The prices weren’t terrible and the restaurant has potential. Giving the benefit of the doubt, the combination of ticket issues, new staff and a busy holiday probably made it a less than great first impression. We are open to coming back maybe over the summer when the rooftop lounge is open and give it another go.

We love trying new flavors and different styles of restaurants. Was not disappointed, it was amazing, This restaurant is hidden on the third floor of a downtown building. CHILEAN SEABASS Delicious fish and lobster sauce, lots of fresh veggies and seems to have a few salami garnishes. IBERICO PORK TENDERLOIN’s meat is tender， and their sauces are very different. Even the salad dressing I can’t stop, really delicious. The waiters Dylan and Mariah were very friendly and attentive. We will be back.
