    Alpana is a lovely, one-of-a-kind space with outstanding food and attentive, friendly service. We had an exceptional meal which included the polenta with mushrooms, crispy brussels sprouts with saba (so good!), hearty mushroom ravioli and perfectly cooked salmon--and of courser, an excellent bottle of wine. Everything is so good yet the ambience is anything but pretentious - it's a bit like being at the best dinner party ever (that just happens to be in a stylish restaurant).

    This is my second time dining here and both experiences have been exceptional. The food is amazing; good selection and consistently delicious, the wait staff are very knowledgeable and clearly enjoy working there and of course the wine selection is second to none. I look forward to my next visit to try something new from the menu!

    From the decor, ambiance, service down to their menu selections, Alpana brought an amazing experience that will surely entice your senses. We truly enjoyed everything here. I personally loved the French Onion soup and the quiche, also not to forget the endless pour of mimosas. I also had the chance to taste their braised beef Benedict and it was phenomenal. We will visit Alpana again and try more dishes.

    Food was outstanding but they were short staffed and our server had a HUGE attitude! The manager made up for her missteps but it was already too late when our server was rude on several occasions. I know the restaurant business can be stressful but if you can’t take I find a new profession. This place is way too nice to have rude waiters!

    Alpana nailed it. No surprise there. Great food and attention to detail. It is very impressive to see her in the trenches, making sure things run like a well-oiled machine. We will be back on our next visit to Chicago.
