Best WLM Reviews
Beautiful aesthetics, tasty food and great service. I visited with a group and was impressed. They are pricey because I had never paid $6 for a cup of hot tea. The house made hot sauce was tasty and I purchased a bottle as a gift for someone I know who loves hot sauce. Loved the brisket!
First time coming here. The place was beautiful, open and spacious. The food was delicious, the best chicken & waffles I’ve ever had. You can really taste the quality, good ingredients & love put into the food. Service was great, everyone was helpful, from the hostess, to server & everyone in between.
Wonderful soul food in a friendly relaxed environment. Special nod to the front of house staff including the hostess and our server Cash. They kindly seated us right away even though we arrived 30 minutes ahead of our reservation, and repeatedly checked in on us throughout the meal to see if we needed anything. This is so refreshing to have a service-oriented restaurant. Their unforgettable dishes include the black eyed pea fritters, and the shrimp & grits. We particularly loved the house hot sauce, which we separately purchased a bottle of for $10. What a gem of a neighborhood restaurant!
Ah. Not great but not terrible. I've heard mixed reviews over the years and now that I've visited, I have mixed feelings. This review is for dinner. I hear brunch is good. I would like to return and try brunch and the signature cocktails, they all sounded good.
Service was great, appreciate our server's humor and recommendations. Cute decor, nice space. Outside terrace is cute, few tables are wobbly. Never understood why restaurants don't put levelers under the table legs.
THE FOOD: overall, good attempts, but missed the mark. Lovely presentation. Overpriced for taste and portion size. Unfortunately, nothing was so good it makes want to run back.
Blackened Salmon - the best thing we tried, delicious and creative. Although the medium-rare was very much medium, still was good. The salmon piece was on the small side. The potatoes were perfect and the little curry sauce drizzle and the bottom was everything.
Oxtails - So good. I don't care for oxtails at all, but these were definitely a highlight, cooked and seasoned well without being salty and sloppy. Would like of there was something creative done to the brown rice it odd served with, or at least more gravy to enjoy the plain rice.
Collard Greens - no. Absolutely not. Missing all the things. Rather have had them sautéed with garlic.
Cornbread loaf - was just a cornbread loaf. Wish it came warmer, the butter was nice.
Black eyed peas Fritters - good with the serving sauce. The sauce was really good. Fritters were creative and a good shareable appetizer.
Fried Chicken - did not live up to its hype. It's just basic fried chicken and expensive baby size pieces and No breast meat option. Cooked well, sure. Nice crisp, sure. But lacked seasoning to make it stand. It's just looked sad. The hot sauce was really good...and needed on the chicken.
Chocolate Banana Bread - oh man, so much promise, but super dry.
Myself and 3 other friends had the most amazing dinner at Alta last night, I've been looking forward to trying this restaurant for ages (we live in Canada) so we made sure to make a reservation for our trip to Los Angeles. We had the fried chicken which was one of the best we'd ever had, partly thanks to the unbelievable in house hot sauce served with it. We ended up putting it on the Oxtail, the Gumbo, and the collard greens as well!
The banana creme brulee was also one of the best desserts I've ever had ????
We ordered 5 dishes including salad, dessert, and the mains in the picture. All of them were delicious and more than enough for 3 women. I liked the unique fusion taste, especially in fried chicken, pork chops and pies for dessert. The atmosphere was lively with many guests and ethnic music. I would come back for a little bit nicer occasion, as the price was a bit too much for a casual dinner without any drinks.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The food? Delicious! The drinks? Deliciously effective! The atmosphere? A total vibe!
We’re visiting LA and stopped into Alta at a friend’s recommendation. We had the “old dog new trick,” which is their version of an old fashioned. It was initially a bit sweet but once the ice melted in slowly (large cube) it was delicious and mellowing. The deviled eggs were all the rave and so were the black eyed peas fritters. Warning for the spiced challenged… the fritters are a bit on the spicy side and are served with an amazing avacado whip sauce. I cannot tolerate spicy foods (I’m a spicy wimp really) but the flavor… amazing, with hints of corn meal infused, almost like mama’s dressing from the Deep South! The fried chicken was so good and flavorful yet crispy and the yams were fantastic as well. The chicken was a 6 piece order shared by the table and had 2 drums, 2 wings and 2 thighs. We took a slice of sweet potato cheesecake to go. I only wish I knew how amazing it was going to be before ordering it to go because it goes great with fresh coffee. The service was exceptional with very helpful host and wait staff! The music was a chill 90s R&B playlist. Parking is on the street but there is a valet option for $10 plus gratuity. Overall, so glad we came and will definitely return if time permits!
I love the atmosphere, food/drinks, service and hospitality at Alta. I go at least 2 times a month and highly recommend it. I like that they list Black and women owned on the menu. The drink and food menu changes every couple of months and the starters are a treat too. I usually start with cornbread and honey butter and the deviled eggs. For entrees, I like the blackened salmon, wood-grilled 12oz ribeye, and chicken and shrimp gumbo. For dessert I like 7 up cake more than the banana pudding crème brûlée
