My wife and I always enjoy dining at Alpana. We love the cozy date-night vibe, fun and quirky decor (yes, female portraits!). The service is always really great -- I'm vegan, and I particularly love the vegetarian menu and how many dishes work for my preferences. Delicious cocktails, exceptional wine, and creative, satisfying food. Also a great value considering the neighborhood. Fun to see Aplana herself at the bar when we walked in. Love this place!
