Reservations requiredWhat Our Friends Are Saying The Infatuation: "We know that Southern food is often synonymous with comfort - but here, it goes beyond what’s coming out of the kitchen. From the moment you walk in, you feel it. If there’s a wait, the host will walk around the room to figure out how long it’ll be until you’re seated. If your table wobbles, someone will immediately be sent over to fix it. On the beautiful little back patio, heaters appear the moment the temperature dips. When you ask a server for their favorite dishes, they’ll give you an honest answer - and not just parrot what the chef told them to move that day."Michelin Guide: "This is the kind of homey and comforting spot that anyone would be glad to have in their neighborhood, but would just as happily drive to find. Generous portions make it a favorite for family-style and group dining. The lovely back patio is draped with string lights and vines, fashioning a perfect backdrop for evenings alfresco. The cooking is soulful and comforting, starting with a plate of golden-fried black-eyed pea fritters with a garlicky green herb sauce for dipping. Their fried chicken is decadent, served juicy with a wickedly spicy hot sauce and caramelized sweet potatoes. Buttery coconut cake for dessert is pure, old-fashioned bliss."

First of all, the patio at Alta is undeniably adorable. Second of all, the West African cuisine with a California twist will have. you. drooling. Special care goes into every detail and we love that the plates are meant to be shared. You’ll want to try the braised oxtails, candied yams with spiced pecans and black-eyed pea fritters. Oh, and the mac and cheese looks bomb.
