Delicious meal and great atmosphere. It was a perfect setting for a romantic date night. The steak I had was perfectly cooked. My wife ordered the Gnocchi and it did not disappoint! I highly recommend this restaurant - amazing food and exceptional experience. Thank you for the great evening.
Great vibe, perfect service, slightly above average food. Went for an anniversary trip that just happened to coincide with restaurant week. We both had the heirloom tomato salad. We love heirloom tomatoes and expected this to be the star of the plate, but it was only a small slice. The farro overpowered the heirloom tomatoes and cheese, sadly. I had duck breast which was cooked perfectly but had soggy skin. The potatoes were also undercooked. My wife had gnocchi which she loved. They were fresh and soft. The desserts were perfect!
A huge part of me thinks that I did not order the right items here, because according to the popular dishes mentioned in others' reviews and the structure of Alba's menu, their meat dishes are the highlights. My partner got the gnocchi and the sunchoke & potato bisque. She said the gnocchi was overcooked and therefore too soft, resembling mashed potatoes more than gnocchi. Having Brussel sprouts in gnocchi was also a combination that we had never seen before. My seasonal vegetables and Brussel sprouts were both amazing, and I managed to finish both of them. The so-called "small plates" were not small at all LOL because the vegetables themselves pretty much made me full. For the farmhouse burger, the ground beef tasted like it did not have any seasoning, so the sauce compensated for the lack of taste. According to my partner, the sunchoke & potato bisque was excellent. Finally, we were debating between the rum crème brûlée and the clafoutis, and went with clafoutis after our server reco
