    Cornmeal Pancakes
    Brit W.

    This was sitting in my drafts, so some pics are from their old brunch menu. July 2026 - I just tried their revamped menu and loved it! First, the service is community style. While we have a main server, it felt lile the entire staff was available and supportive. The inside decor doesn't look different, but the tableware did change. We ordered the Sashimi, Melon Salad, Sweet Potato and Chicken. I will say the menu seems a bit beyond my taste, but everything was superb! The mix of flavors and seasonings was a pleasant surprise and wasn't heavy at all. It is on the pricier side but felt like an experience, not just a meal. This is worth the experience, at least once

    You can reserve ahead on OpenTable with $ deposit (48hr). There's a lot of free street parking and easy access + restrooms. This place recently reopened and has a focus on north and south African cuisines with a south American influence. Food + drinks: great! They have plenty vegetarian and potentially vegan options. The spices and seasonings on different dishes will definitely catch your interest. We tried the oven sweet potato, the black lentils, and the scallops. Everything was good. Only note/feedback - dark chocolate cake is very dry even with the icecream. Tastes good but could do with more moisture. We also tried their seasonal sweet corn cocktail and a classic limoncelo cocktail. They gave us champagne for anniversary. Service was nice/warm and friendly. Dishes are priced per LA std. It's def worth checking out.

    I visited Alta yesterday. They just reopened with a new menu & newly decorated space. The space is gorgeous. The service feels more elevated than my last visit, too. It was good service before, but a bit more upscale this time. The menu, I believe, is completely redone. I didn't see any dishes that looked familiar. I do think if you loved Alta before you'll be a bit disappointed in this new menu. I was, even though I enjoyed what I tried. I actually came for happy hour at the wine shop and it was closed, so we decided to give the new menu at the restaurant a try. The cocktail menu is strong! We enjoyed everything we tried, especially the "sweet corn" which is their version of a whiskey sour. The food is good. I think I just wanted more items that reminded me of "soul food"? I see the connection though. The succotash with corn pudding. I love both of these and their version is fresh & flavorful. The scallops make it a unique dish. The sweet potato is simple but very good. Both amazing dishes. I see how it's California soul food... But why couldn't the black eyed pea fritters stay on? Or an updated version of the deviled eggs? I just wanted more of those items. I almost think they should rebrand with a new name as well because it's Alta 2.0 and some folks might still expect Alta. All in all, it was a good experience. They're not set up for happy hour so I would only come back for dinner. At the current menu prices, I want to enjoy a full meal, maybe a date night. So noted for myself for future visits. They mentioned the wine shop is opening in July so I'll come back to try that side as well.

    Why this place has a rating of anything less than 4.5 is astonishing to me. We had a reservation for 5 at 11am and honestly when we walked in, it looked empty but turns out most of sitting is away from the bar area and on the other side of the restaurant. We had a warm welcome and our server answered any and all questions we had. The vibe is quintessential to the food they are serving. The playlist is as authentic as it gets and don't be surprised if you see people jamming out to the music as they enjoy the food. We started off with the fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits as a starter for the table. The fried chicken is juicy, very flavorful, and the crispy exterior without a heavy batter is truly top tier. Everyone at the table agreed on how delicious and outstanding the chicken was. The buttermilk biscuits were just as standout. Tender on the inside but a nice crust on the outside. The butter with the sprinkle of Maldon salt was chef kiss. And don't let me sleep on the red pepper hot sauce served with the fried chicken. It was the perfect amount of heat but packed big on flavor. Insane pairing with the fried chicken. The rest of food didn't disappoint either. Everyone's food was delicious. We tried everything. The oxtail and grits. Oh my jeans. Expand them suckers for these. Those grits were creamy and buttery but with a nice texture of grits. The oxtail was tender, smoky and delicious. The shrimp and grits just as delicious. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. Juicy with a hint of smokiness. The sauce was perfect bed for the grits. Fried catfish was crisp on the outside but moist and tender on the inside. Collard greens were traditionally served with a hint of smoked flavor and vinegar. Yall don't sleep on this place. If I lived here, I'd be a regular for sure. Definitely some of the best food I have enjoyed in a very long time.

    The food here is phenomenal! West African themed restaurant. Michelin 2025 award for the best seasonal food served with intention. Chef Corbin has selected every detail on the menu from the wine local from Northern California to the seasonal vegetables offered. The service was wonderful, our server Marylyn and everyone one else were so pleasant and attentive to our needs and request. If you have the chance please pay them a visit, it's worth your while!!!

    I tried this place last night for the first time and the ambiance was amazing and the food was good, but our server really took away from the experience. My friend and I sat for about 15-20 minutes before being acknowledged. Another employee ended up bringing us water, and we had to flag someone down just to get a wine menu. When our server finally came over, she didn't greet us, introduce herself, or apologize for the wait. She simply asked if we had a question about the wine. As we were ordering, I asked her to describe one of the entrées because I'm a visual person and like to know what I'm getting. Instead of explaining the dish, she gave very short, rushed answers and seemed annoyed by basic questions. The entire interaction felt cold and dismissive. What really threw me off was after we placed our order. She questioned whether we were ordering enough food and asked multiple times if that was all we were getting. It felt awkward and unnecessary, especially since we were ordering exactly what we wanted. The food was good and the atmosphere was great, but the service lacked warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism. Hopefully this was just an off night. Not sure if I'll return though.

    Suya chicken
    Glitz L.

    As a local, I was really excited to try Alta Adam and support the neighborhood. The aesthetics and ambiance are absolutely beautiful, and I was hoping to discover a new African-inspired restaurant that I could recommend to friends. I ordered the Limoncello cocktail, which I enjoyed, although I originally wanted the watermelon drink and was told they didn't have the juice prepared for it. For food, I had the BBQ Chicken Suya. The flavor was great and I loved the crispiness of the chicken. However, I was disappointed that the only accompaniment was a charred avocado. There were no side options such as rice, potatoes, or anything else to complement the citrus flavors of the dish. When I asked for hot sauce, I was given what seemed like a mashed broccoli paste with only a slight hint of spice. Unfortunately, a few hours later I experienced significant stomach discomfort and spent the rest of the evening sick. I'm grateful I decided to go home instead of meeting up with friends afterward. At $38 for chicken with no substantial sides, plus $15 valet, the value just wasn't there for me. I really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere is stunning, but the food experience ultimately overshadowed everything else. Service could also use some improvement. The gentleman behind the bar barely acknowledged me and collected guests' cards before the actual server arrived. A warmer, more upbeat approach from the staff would make the experience feel much more welcoming. Overall, the ambiance is beautiful and the concept has potential, but my experience with the food, value, and service left me disappointed.

    Dirty Matcha
    Jynelle Christine S.

    I'm going to assume the reason for the 3.5 stars is the lack of parking because everything else was wonderful! The ambiance is beautiful and I liked that there was lots of natural lighting. The service was great - even though I was a part of a big party (10) and it was quite busy, we were never forgotten and they always checked on us. As for the food and drinks - I really liked the dirty matcha, you can really taste the espresso and earthiness of the matcha. For food, the chicken and waffles were just perfect! I asked for hot sauce on the side which pairs really well with the buttery sweet sauce Overall would definitely come back to this place even if parking is a hassle.

    Had catch Chef in the background

    I've been a huge fan of Chef Keith since the very early days of Alta. I wanted to support him in this remodeling (I love the new look) and menu change. Although, I am so attached to the old menu. I was quite pleased. Chef Keith has a knack for creating food items that are...different. And they just simply taste delicious. I found that to be true with his new menu. I love that foods are designed to be shared so you get to try a lot of different items for a relatively reasonable price. I can't wait until Alta begins serving brunch because I'm coming back for those grits! Lol I love them. They're the best. Kudos to our server, Janaea (sp) Her knowledge and communication made our experience even greater.

    Black eyed pea salad
    Super D.

    My first time at Alta. I always check out the menu beforehand and was disappointed since whatever source I was checking had the old menu. I was really fixed for some collard greens but they were not on the new menu. Like others have mentioned, portion size was surprising. I can see the correlation between some dishes and those prices and portions but black eyed peas are not expensive or hard to source. Either make that portion larger or lower the price point. We had the lamb and it was AMAZING and I didn't blink twice about the cost or potion size. The yam was DIVINE and my friend and I ate the entire thing. Literally sent a clean plate back. lol. Advanced notice you get one yam per order. We also had drinks. I cannot recall hers but I'm sober so I had the Butterfly Pea Tea drink and it was SUBLIME. Everyone was so kind and attentive. The atmosphere was lovely. I'd go back for the yam and to try a few more items.

    Came here 7pm Saturday night it wasn't very busy but would pick up over time. I made a reservation and got sat immediately. There's $10 valet that you can Venmo if you don't want to look for street parking We had a new waitress whenever she was slippin this black male waiter was amazing to back her up Cornbread delicious with and without butter. Maybe even better without honestly. The deviled eggs had too much mustard for me but my date liked it. Food came out extra hot so much so i needed to take the yams out of their container for them to edible comfortably lol. Something as basic as rice & beans was even great too. They even found a way for basic fried potatoes under my black salmon (which was amazing) to stand out. Apetizers not coming out before the entree was a little different and the more packed it got the more it seemed there should've been another waiter for the whole section. The partnership with the "inkind" app gets 20% back instantly. I'll be back asap

    What are the Vegan options?

    Vegan options are the black peas fritters, cornbread and salad without cheese, cauliflower entree, vegan gumbo entree and then a few side options like the veggies and rice and peas. They are definitely options to choose from!

    Where can I find the brunch menu?

    Do yourself a favor and avoid this restaurant. The quality of the food and the service has gone down, post pandemic. Alta Adams was a bright spot when first opened. It's over priced and subpar, currently. The folks that continue to rate this… 

    Is outdoor dining back?

    Yes! They added a parklet to their back patio so now there's over 100 outdoor seats!

    Is the outside dog friendly?

    Very dog friendly!

    Late there any gluten free items?

    Yes! Deviled eggs, black eyed pea fritters, salad, vegan gombo, bbq chicken, shrimp and grits, brisket (except there's soy in the bbq sauce so ask for it on the side), collard greens, red beans and rice, fries, and seasonal veggies... all those… 

    Is there parking?

    Alta provides valet parking. Plus, with a bit of a search you can find street parking. Have fun!

The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great!

Street parking only, which can definitely be challenging depending on the time.

She didn't like that spot and thought the tables farther inside looked much more comfortable and cozy. Since people were sitting at one of those tables, she wanted to wait until they left.

One of my girlfriends ordered a glass of wine, and since she had made the reservation and gone through the trouble of arranging everything, I treated her to the wine and garlic bread. Then, of course, our friend who is ALWAYS late arrived about 30 minutes late! By then, the rest of us had already decided what to order from the Dine LA menu. We wanted to try as many dishes as possible, so we ordered different items and shared everything. When our late friend arrived, we ordered his dishes separately. For the first course, we had Caesar Salad, Bruschetta, and Meatballs. For the second course, we ordered Rigatoni Vodka, Cacio e Pepe, and Margherita Pizza. For dessert, everyone ordered Tiramisu. Overall, I thought the food was good. My favorites were the Bruschetta, Meatballs, Rigatoni Vodka, and Tiramisu. The Cacio e Pepe was not my favorite because I thought they used way too much black pepper, and my other friends agreed. Our group had mixed reactions overall. Except for one person, the other two felt the food didn't quite live up to their expectations and were somewhat disappointed. But everyone's taste is different, so I completely understand. Considering how expensive everything has become these days, I thought the Dine LA price was pretty reasonable. It was $45 per person, and with tax and tip, it came to $60 each. For that price, I thought the amount of food and the overall experience were pretty good. I also really appreciated how friendly and attentive all the staff members were. I usually don't drink alcohol, and especially when I'm driving, I NEVER drink--not even a sip. That has been my personal rule for decades. So I just ordered water, and I loved how the staff kept coming by and refilling my glass whenever it got low. I drink a LOT of water, so I really appreciated their attentiveness. Now, about parking: valet parking is $17. I decided to street-park instead. One of my friends also street-parked, but unfortunately she got a parking ticket and was VERY upset. I had originally found a spot where a sign said a parking permit was required, so I decided not to take the risk and moved my car. Before leaving, I asked a man walking his dog if it was okay to park there. He said he had seen many cars parked there and they had been fine, but I still didn't trust it because the sign clearly said permits were required. I told him, "I don't think that's allowed." He was very nice and suggested going about three blocks farther, where there was plenty of street parking without a permit. I followed his advice and parked there. Unfortunately, my friend who stayed in the permit-only spot ended up getting a ticket. Another friend parked in the parking structure across the street and said it cost $18. Since I had parked farther away and didn't want to walk alone at night, I asked him to drop me off at my car after dinner, and he kindly did. So my parking recommendation is to use the $17 valet or street-park about three blocks away where no permit is required. I definitely would NOT recommend parking in the permit-only spaces unless you want to risk getting a ticket. One of the funniest things about this neighborhood is the restaurant names. The restaurant we went to is called "Met Him At A Bar," and literally right across the street is "Met Her At A Bar." There's also another restaurant called "The Night We Met." I have to say, the names are pretty creative and definitely make this neighborhood more fun! Overall, we had a fun evening together, and for $60 per person including tax and tip, I thought it was a pretty decent Dine LA experience.

    Came out on Mothers day for Breakfast. This place has a nice, chill vibe and mainly outdoors…read moreseating in the back. They have some interesting drinks on the menu, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The food was alright, nothing special or that stood out. Service was quick and they do have high-chairs if needed. They did get quite busy around 10am so if youre thinking of coming here, it might be worth getting a reservation. Overall it was a nice breakfast, but a little out of the way for me and parking was tough (street parking only).

    Well, I honestly have to say I am really disappointed in the service here. I am a single girl who…read morecan't cook so I dine out 24/7 and RARELY leave a review however I feel that if I do maybe something can change for the next guest trying to enjoy an experience. It's really hard to be in a joyful mood when you are not being attended to. I did receive a glass of water at the very beginning, that was nice, after that everything was basically as if I was invisible. They brought my food out fast, I wanted to ask for sauces, more napkins & no one checked in on me. Maybe because I came during dinner time? The bartender is gold -- he was more attentive than the whole staff the entire time. I am sad to say that this truly made my food non exciting and very blah. I've been here before for breakfast and it has been great, bummed that wasn't today. As a single eater, I felt extra lonely. Sincerely, Anonymous foodie x
