Alpine Grille — Restaurant in Town of Hope

The ambiance and decor are great for the style of restaurant it is, it reminds me of my families restaurant from years ago. The staff were also very nice, and the food is priced fairly (it was around $40 for dinner for two people, and coming from NYC that's cheap), but the quality of the food wasn't good enough to justify 5 stars (I'd give 3.5 if that were an option.) I had chicken piccata which was extremely salty, I was looking for that refreshing salty sourness you get from lemon, butter, and capers, but the amount of salt added to the dish on top of the already salty capers just overpowered everything else.

As far as everything else that I ate, the pasta was tasty, the steamed vegetables were so so, the fries were okay, and the piece of steak I tried was also so so. I'm a huge fan of places that can get a good sear on the outside of a steak (just a nice even brown color) and serve that alone with no steak sauce required and it's delicious.

This lovely establishment will forever be in my heart 💕 After experiencing the worst service from Logan’s bar and grill and lemon tree brewery, stumbling upon this restaurant was a blessing. Never have I experienced such a level of service, kindness and speed while dining out. THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL!!! Our party of 8 was silent when we started eating, and were loud women! The pork schnitzel needs to be a regular menu item because baby let me tell you it was unlike any pork chop I’ve ever had. French onion soup?, fire. New York strip steak with Jack Daniel’s bbq sauce?, fire. The mashed potatoes 🥲 To die for! Thank you Chad and chefs for giving us a meal worth remembering!!!!!

Last but not least, SHOUT OUT TO OUR WAITRESS PAM, we love you!! I gave a 25% tip for the first time in my life. Please go here, don’t...

Highly recommend Alpine if you’re passing through the area! It’s a bit on the pricey size, looking at $25 per person without an appetizer, but it really comes down to what your order. The place is clean, but very hard to get a reservation. I recommend a few days in advance especially in the winter. Highly recommend the garlic scallion steamed clams, they are one of the bests appetizers I’ve eaten in my life. Overall, service was nice and fast! Going once with friends we forgot to split the check, but the waitress was more than willing to help sort things out. Personally preference, but I really love when places start you with a glass of water so that was an excellent touch.

It you haven’t yet, try this place out!
