Restaurants near Utica Park

Long time patrons and Alfonso's is always a great place to take someone out for an impressive dinner. The menu is loaded with gourmet dishes and you can't go wrong with any of them. If you're feeling less fancy, treat yourself to the best pizza in town!

Great atmosphere,service was excellent. At our waiters recommendation we ordered several items: 1-Dirty Tots which were amazing and not at all what we expected. The description on the menu did not do them justice but the waiter did! 2- Baked scallops appetizer is the Coquille St. Jacques at Windward passage with smaller pieces of scallop instead of large chunks, which was fine with me. The cream sauce had a touch more flavor then WPs and the presentation was the same except there was rock salt( I think) which resembled ice on the plate of a piping hot appetizer-intetesting touch! 3- The Rose- reminiscent of a cocktail from M with the large ground ice cube with a rose in the middle. Delicious! My son ordered the Beef Wellington which he devoured. The presentation was lovely. For dessert he had the special which was strawberry chiffon cake-Amazing!! We ordered the seafood tower which was a little disappointing for the amount vs. price but the seafood was fresh and fabulous! Our steaks were great but nothing to write home about necessarily. I am a Jeff Ruby girl and this steak did not sway me to jump ship. The two negatives were we were seated at a table which backed up to a large table where our chairs were back to back. That being said, we did bring an extra person but that could have been easily remedied by switching us to the opposite table that had a 2 person reservation or any number of other open tables. The entire dinner we could feel the frustration of the waiter for that table who had to walk around to reach the other side of the table. My husband felt very cramped and uncomfortable as if he was in the way. As he put it, if I’m eating a $700 dinner, I don’t like to feel like I’m in the way and constantly being leaned over. The last negative was we had to pay $15 for bread. I don’t know why, but that really bothered me. The Parker rolls were good but I feel could have easily been gratis.

Despite arriving 3 minutes before the scheduled time and not 15 as usual, they were friendly, the service was spectacular, they kept in mind the reason for my dinner (anniversary with my wife) and the incredibly good food. Would I go again? Of course it's the answer.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience. The staff was fun and made the event special. The food was awesome!! We had the Love Clutch, Shrimp, Butter Cake, and Brownie. So good!!! The shrimp are awesome to say the least. Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day special.

We had the best Server, I apologize I can’t recall her name. But she was super attentive, patient and gave my kids Lobster necklaces! We will definitely be back!
