BELIEVE THE HYPE! I attempted to make a reservation here about a month in advance for my boyfriend's birthday and I had no luck...I quickly learned that trying to get into Alpen Rose was possibly harder than getting into an Ivy League school, but I opted to be put on a waiting list and to receive notifications via “RESY” if any reservations were canceled and it was sort of like the universe had my back because we had the first snow storm of the season on my boyfriend's birthday and there were a few cancelations so I was able to secure a table at the exact time we hoped for!!! This is truly a VIP experience from start to finish. No signage outside of the restaurant ... you must ring a bell and tell whomever opens the sliding wood panel on the door your name and should you have a reservation you're let right in, and should you not have one, you're unfortunately turned away as the restaurant only has 12 tables and 4 bar seats, all of which require reservations. Service is top notch from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. And when you walk in you're blown away by the literal and figurative warmth of the restaurant as it's like you're transported back in time into what would be the perfect ambiance for a romantic dinner in a romance novel ... woodwork and chandeliers for days ... cozy plush leather seating ... fire burning grill in the kitchen ... literally the perfect ambiance! We ordered a few cocktails which were made to order and absolutely delicious! I went with the Number 30 and the Number 35 and recommend both. My boyfriend went with their Old Fashioned which he said was one of the best he's had. Bone Marrow Toast, Prawns and Hot Rolls were what we ordered for appetizers and the Dry Aged Strip and Dry Aged Ribeye with Creamed Spinach and the Potato Pancake Stack (that's not the real l name but can't remember what it was actually called lol) was what we ordered for entrees and can I just say that our tastebuds were honestly being seduced because this was some of the most special food we've had in a really long while ... like 5 star special! OMG! And our server who was top notch ended our dinner with surprise Raspberry Sorbet and Mini Pumpkin Pies with candles in them for my boyfriend's birthday! Absolutely 100% worth the hype and every penny! We will be back! Even if we have to make the reservation now for June 2026

Appetizers: I highly recommend the bone marrow and oysters. Bone marrow is a personal favorite anywhere I go, but the oysters were fresh and delicious. For the main meal, I got the porterhouse was disappointed, the filet side was dry, and the NY strip side had no flavor or seasoning. However, my friend ordered the ribeye which I sampled a few bites and it was perfection. Dessert: I ordered the Pineapple Upside Down Alaska, and was not appeased, I recommend to get the Ice Cream Sundae if going as a group. The ambience inside the restaurant was phenomenal. Alpen Rose has a beautiful interior design and noise level was relatively low making it easy to talk to company.

Went for a birthday dinner and had an amazing experience. Service was absolutely top notch. We ordered the Parker house rolls and wedge salad to start, as well as two cocktails which were a good value for the quality. For our main we shared the porterhouse and it was PHENOMENAL. The pickled shallots and garlic confit were a lovely touch. I also really enjoyed the house steak sauce and fermented chili sauce they provided. We also ordered the onion rings, asparagus, and pave potato. My only note is our fault in that we over-ordered and should have gone with just two sides. Truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The ambiance of the restaurant is unmatched. A really unique, cozy space. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a milestone or special occasion.

My experience at the Alpen Rose went over all my expectations. The food here was absolutely amazing. The service in the staff were great. I mean I cannot talk better. The bone marrow was one of the best I’ve ever had just done so well I think the T-bone was great. I think it could’ve been better, but there’s always improvement to be made the beef. Wellington was amazing really done. Well I would have to say the service was absolutely amazing very kind, but not overly pushy and had a great recommendations. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Yummy meal and great atmostphere. Highly recommended! Alpen Rose has been on my list for a while and glad we did it! Food: VERY tasty steak. It was the first time I had beef wellington so I had no point of reference but the meat was super tender and cooked perfect. Other dishes was good as well. Husband's steak was cooked well as well. Drinks: Cocktails and wine was great! Service and atmosphere: great service. We look forward to coming back and trying more. Recommendation: definitely split the beef wellington and another main dish. Almost each table ordered it and I could see why!
