    My wife and I always enjoy dining at Alpana. We love the cozy date-night vibe, fun and quirky decor (yes, female portraits!). The service is always really great -- I'm vegan, and I particularly love the vegetarian menu and how many dishes work for my preferences. Delicious cocktails, exceptional wine, and creative, satisfying food. Also a great value considering the neighborhood. Fun to see Aplana herself at the bar when we walked in. Love this place!

    Loved every dish we had. We had the braised octopus and butter chicken meatballs which were delicious. The braised short ribs, sea bass, and squid ink pasta were also great! Would highly recommend
