   My fiancé and I LOVE Alma Fonda Fina, so of course we had to try Alteño! And just like Alma Fonda Fina, we LOVED Alteño. The story behind Alteño is so meaningful and it you can really feel that throughout the restaurant. From the decor to the food. We order the scallop, carne Apache, cornbread, stuffed mushroom, al pastor and the roasted chicken. All that was the perfect amount of food for two people! The flavors are amazing and cooked and prepared to perfection. HIGHLY recommend!

   We had the best time here. The food was amazing! Our server took time and care to explain every dish we were considering. At one point my napkin fell from my lap, by the time I picked up off the floor our server was already handing me a new one. We left satisfied and excited to return soon!

   Phenomenal, truly. I was dancin’ in my seat with every bite. Our server was impeccable (Kevin, if I remember correctly)! Passionate, knowledgeable, thoughtful, but not overbearing. My husband and I don’t drink alcohol anymore and they surprised us with NA bubbles in champagne flutes. A small but very sweet gesture that sets a restaurant apart. And let me tell you - that sweet potato!!! It’s one of those dishes where you close your eyes to savor every ounce of it. Just, wow. Can’t wait to return!!

   Wow! The food was great. Some highlights for us were the bluefin tuna dish, the cornbread and the striped bass. Our waiter, Kevin, was phenomenal as well. So passionate about the dishes and our experience. It was truly the cherry on top. Overall we highly recommend and will be back!!

   We enjoyed the hibiscus margarita, the kanpachi and uni crudo (wow), the blue crab stuffed mushroom, the cornbread, chile relleno and roasted chicken. Every dish had a few extra layers and accompaniments to make it exceptional. Megan was a superb ambassador for Alteño. So many other dishes we would like to try. The only frustration was with Open Table’s notification system.

   Food is top notch. Very pushy waitress. Seated for 5 minutes and told our table was timed so we better order even though we were waiting for friends to join. Plates were cleared before dishes were finished…

    Everything was great! Server seemed nervous, and interrupted conversation unnecessarily each time she came to the table. Marking the table was a little clunky. Share plates and silverware were cleared after one course but not re-marked in time for the next course leaving us without plates and forks. Food was delicious!
