Altera

The restaurant is beautiful, very cozy good vibes. We felt welcomed by the host/hostess when we first walked in. Service was good, our waiter was new but he did a good job. The 2 star review is mostly for the food. We had the pok pok wings for appetizers and it felt like we were eating rubber. I had the half grilled chicken and I give it a 6/10. The rice that came with it was amazing. My friend had salmon with cauliflower which was amazing, 10/10 highly recommend it. The drinks were great.

A great neighborhood restaurant with a good selection of pastas, pizzas, and other entrees and apps. This is a great date night or dinner with friends.

I just visited Altera with a group of friends during their Restaurant Week special, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance felt new and refreshing, creating a welcoming atmosphere that set the stage for a fantastic courses of meals. They offered a three-course menu special, which we took full advantage of by sharing dishes to try as many items as possible. Their regular menu also looked impressive, and I’m already planning to return to explore it further. We began our meal with some cocktails, and I highly recommend the Black Sazerac, Claudel, and Sun Dream—each one was well-balanced and full of unique flavours, however one cocktail called self care felt more like some energy shot medicine rather than a cocktail. One of the highlights of dining at Altera is

Great vibes, excellent service, and the salmon was phenomenal. We had a Jonny cake too and it was delicious.

Pretty good. A few items needed salt. The server was excellent with the minor exception of correcting me about the origin of pok pok wings (I've been to the eponymous restaurant in Portland, but she claimed a Korean origin). Otherwise, a nice experience, if slightly pricey.
