Alpana offers a "magical" ambiance with exquisite cuisine and an extensive wine list curated by master sommelier Alpana Singh. Guests rave about the attentive service, especially from standout servers like Sarah and John. The butter chicken meatballs and squid ink pasta are "best they ever had." Ideal for brunch or dinner, it remains a "go-to spot" for many.

    Ambience and service were very good. However, food is a bit overrated. Appetizers were underwhelming. Their pasta is 10/10 though!

    The food was absolutely amazing. Hamachi crudo, truffle honey feta, salmon, and venison appetizers/dishes were just spectacular in every aspect.

    This restaurant has gone a long way. When I first attended in its early history, I didn't think the food was that good. It is now the food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. It also has pleasant decor. I highly recommend Alpana
