I regret to inform you that this restaurant was closing down over the weekend when we visited. The property, including the building and land, was being sold to developers. It's a pity because we have been dining here for 25 years and have only positive things to say about the food and service.

The evening was well-organized with a great selection of dishes and a pleasant atmosphere.

A wait for one a halve hour before the main course to arrive is to long. The food is ok but nothing special. I got one bottle of wine on the house for waiting that long. That was good a nice gesture. But sorry I can't recommend the restaurant and I would not visit the restaurant any more. My home cooking is far better. The staff is very nice I feel sorry for them because they can't help the slow kitchen. A table for 10 people is something the kitchen can'tdeal with.

I haven't got the time energy or inclination to go through one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever endured Unless you like being either ignored or otherwise having the managers being rude from start to dismal end and have several hours to wait for your order once they eventually take it, I would advise everyone to give the Alpine a very wide berth
