Each dish is perfectly cooked and full of flavor. However, what really distinguishes Alta Eats from other restaurants in our area—and even those in the lower 48—is the bread. It's freshly baked and served with house-made butter, both the cinnamon variety and the traditional chive option. Absolutely divine!

We eat meat on rare occasions and decided to make this one of those special occasions. The rack of lamb was the best I have ever experienced. Crusted and pan seared, the flavorand texture was layered with a subtle hint of smoke. The beef Wellington was perfectly prepared rare and tender with all thecomponents this rich decadent dish perfectly balanced. A party in your mouth if ever there was one!!! Then the apple pie in puffpastry and salted caramel and cream anglaise. Again the perfect balance that just left us wanting more! They also do theseincredible Rostie pre-fix dinner specials to go (you can find details on their Facebook page . We order these for dinner atleast once a week. The Rosties are super tasty and a great value for what you get (generous portions which is greatlyappreciated by our hungry family! . Have been meaning to try this hidden gem for years and I’m annoyed with myself for waitingthis long. We will be back soon to make up for lost time! Thank you Altaeats for a memorable meal!

Our server comped the drinks and dessert to make up for it. The beef tartare is chopped, not ground, and the texture played wellwith the capers and cornichon. The panzanella salad with sliced stone fruit and burrata tasted light but was filling. The lambchops were soft and flavorful. The seared scallops’ sweetness was enhanced by the onion and garlic sauce. My favorite was thebeef Wellington. Though the crust was not crispy, the fillet mignon was tender and delicious with the mushroom duxelles. Theapple turnover was a sweet treat at the end of the meal. This dinner was perfect except for the poor ventilation. Our clothessmelled of food and smoke on the way home.
