Warrior: This was our second visit to Alta. I liked all aspects of the restaurant. The food was consistently good across the board. While I saw no attempt to innovate or elevate, all the dishes were well-prepared and tasty. The wine list was excellent. The patio was beautiful—one of the best in LA. Service was friendly and prompt. All in all, a nice meal.
Peony: I think this is a good restaurant for comforting food. I found the fried chicken juicy and tender. I liked the hot sauce for the chicken; it added flavor without being too spicy, so it’s the right sauce for people like me who can’t eat too spicy. The macaroni and cheese tasted good to me, though I’m not very experienced with how it should taste. I liked the consistency of the grits—not too runny or too firm—although the shrimp was average. Overall, nice meal in a lovely patio. Good service. We had a good time.
