“ Excellent steakhouse with a speakeasy vibe. To enter, locate the little rose logo and ring the doorbell. The matradee will greet you through a little window and you'll be escorted into this less than 15 table, cozy establishment. Low lighting with the bookshelf as the main eye catcher, we were seated at an intimate table for 2. For our appetizers, we chose the carpaccio, bone marrow toast, and raw oysters. The carpaccio was great on their perfectly baked sourdough. Personally, a little different than what I'm use to with the sauce vierge. It had a tangy kick to it. This was a pretty savory dish. Next was the oysters (sourced from Jersey). These oysters were superb. Not a brine-y at all and pretty sweet. It paired well with their house sauces. We even went for a second round at the end of our meal. Cannot recommend these enough! And lastly, the bone marrow, recommended by our server was also a favorite. Melt in your mouth sensation on a savory slice of toast. Another definite recommendation. For our mains, we chose the filet and ribeye with a side of Brussels sprouts. Perfectly cooked and very flavorful. Paired with their Cabernet, each bite was excellent. I would say, the ribeye was a tad chewy, maybe we got a slightly fatty cut. And the filet was a tad gamey, but over we enjoyed our meal. The filet was seasoned perfectly too. Overall, Alpen Rose is a place for an intimate date. I really appreciate how it holds a special spot in the neighborhood, giving city goers a way to relax, escape, and enjoy a great experience with excellent service. Speaking of which, our server Dana was extremely professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Definitely an S rank performance by her. With its cozy and quiet atmosphere, I can definitely see myself returning when I want either a quiet spot to myself or a special date spot for me and my partner. ”

“ When I say this deserved EVERY SINGLE STAR and more, I mean it. My husband surprised me with reservations for my 40th birthday. I was so excited because I know they're hard to come by and I had been stalking the Alpen Rose socials for years. Upon arriving at the restaurant, we rang the doorbell. A host peeked their head out and warmly greeted us before whisking us into the restaurant and to our seats. The ambience reminded me of my grandmothers home, with built in shelves housing a library of books, brick walls, and gold framed art on the walls. The lighting is cozy romantic. The vibes seem like theyd be pretentious but are instead comforting and warm like a hug from a long lost relative. We started with cocktails, a Hugo spritz for me and a smoked old fashioned for him. My drink wasn't prepared the way I traditionally have it, but it wasn't on the menu and it was still good, so I was pleased. We ordered the clover bread, which was a warm crusty clover shaped "loaf" bread served with a honey butter. It was equal parts sweet and savory. We followed this with the Caesar salad, which was simple but delicious with what seemed like a homemade Caesar dressing. The bone marrow toast was next, with succulent and flavorful beef cheeks over buttery golden toast. We spread the bone marrow on top for a melt in our mouth experience. We split the ribeye with the brussels sprouts and potato pave since we indulged so much beforehand, and planned for dessert. The ribeye was perfectly cooked and served with roasted garlic. The potato was exactly as I imagined it would be, somehow both crispy and soft. For dessert we went all the way and tried the pineapple upside down baked Alaska and the pie, which was an apple pie with browned butter crust. We both agreed we couldn't select a favorite. The baked Alaska had so many flavors and textures, with a chewy pineapple "crust", a cherry sorbet center, and the traditional meringue. The pie was a rustic apple delight served warm with vanilla ice cream. I have been bragging to everyone about how wonderful this experience was and I cannot wait to come back! ”

“ A cozy, romantic, intimate spot for date night or special occasions! Appetizers and sides were the stars of the show. Main course (ribeye and grilled chicken) were delicious, but not any more spectacular than most other spots. The bread, caesar salad, and octopus apps were incredible! Mashed potatoes were creamy and the salsa verde on the asparagus was so delicious and added depth of flavor. If I were to go back, I'd get one main protein to share and instead go crazy with the apps. Service was excellent! Definitely a splurge meal. ”

“ Food was fantastic. Service was amazing. If you're looking for a romantic vibe, I'd highly recommend it here! Bone marrow toast: 9/10. So tasty, but on the greasier side Caesar salad: 8/10. Classic Tomahawk steak: 9/10 Branzino: 8/10. Seasoned well Asparagus: 7/10. Paired well with the entrees. Nothing wrong with it! Grasshopper drink: 7.5/10. Tasted like an upscale shamrock shake, I loved it! ”

“ We were recommended by friends to come try this restaurant and we're so glad we listened to them. Absolutely amazing! 1000000000000000/10 restaurant Before you enter the restaurant, you ring the doorbell and they slide a window and you tell them that you have a reservation. Oh making reservations is a must and apparently it's really hard to get one so plan ahead! There's many parking garages around the area that are like a minute walk to the restaurant. I recommend using the app SpotHero for parking. We started off waiting for our table to open up so we went to the bar and started out with Prosecco. Once we got seated, we also ordered the no.3 cocktail and red wine. No.3 is probably my absolute favorite cocktail I've ever had. For appetizers, we ordered the octopus and bone marrow toast. Both were delicious but that bone marrow toast is out of this world. I'm definitely coming back for that and ordering 2-3 of those. For sides, we ordered the potato pave and asparagus and both were amazing too. Main course: dry aged duck and dry aged porterhouse. Both of them were absolutely fire. Cooked to perfection. Came here for my wife's birthday so we had to get dessert as well so we ordered the pineapple baked Alaska and wow, amazing. They literally light that whole dessert up. Amazing experience. Service was awesome. The manager takes your jacket for them to store and they were all so attentive. Our server Lauren B. and the manager were so nice, provided us with amazing service. Restaurant is very tiny but very intimate romantic type place and we loved it. Nice little bar area. Beautiful decor around and it's very nice and clean. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back for more! ”

“ Amazing dining experience. Our sever was fantastic. Food was amazing and drinks were great. This is a perfect date spot and I highly recommend. ”

“ What a fun experience at Alpen Rose! I thought it was very unique that you had to ring the doorbell to enter - very cute & whimsical! The interior was quite small, creating a more exclusive and intimate experience. For appetizers we ordered the octopus and oysters rockefeller. The oysters were my personal fav! For my entree I order the bone-in NY strip, potato pavé, mac and cheese, and roasted brussel sprouts. Each of the sides were wonderful, especially the potato pavé. My steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. However I didn't care for the pickled onions that were served with the steak. For dessert we had the apple pie and OMG was it delicious! And absolutely HUGE! Enough for the 2 of us to share & take home leftovers! Overall the experience was incredible and I'm glad I got the opportunity to snag a reservation! ”

“ FINALLY got the chance to try out the famous Alpen Rose and we were VERY pleased with our meal! My friends and I made our reservation about a month in advance so if you're looking to try this spot out be sure to make a reservation in advance! When we arrived our table wasn't ready yet so we were ushered through the back of the resturant through a secret door connecting to Double Knot where we had a drink while we were waiting. Their espresso martinis are lovely! We got seated about 10 minutes after in a corner booth. The ambience of Alpen rose is very upscale and sexy! They have beautiful adorned chandeliers and dark wood surrounding the dining room. The resturant is quite small which allows for a comforting feeling when dining here! My friend Liz ordered an old fashion which was presented with a fun presentation of smoke. My friend John ordered a zero proof cocktail which he enjoyed and I ordered a glass of red wine recommend by our lovely waitress Tessa! It was a perfect pairing with the steaks we went with! For our appetizers we decided to go with the heirloom tomato salad, beef tartare, clover rolls and oysters Rockefeller! The tomato salad was so fresh and served over stracciatella cheese. Beef tartare was to die for! Great flavor and one of the best I've had in the city by far. My fave apps were by far the beef tartare and the oysters Rockefeller! Because our table wasn't ready upon arrival the kitchen sent us a shrimp cocktail on the house which was so nice! The cocktail sauce was made with fresh horseradish and was delicious! For our entrees we decided to share two mains and some sides! We ordered the beef Wellington and the tomahawk steak. Both were phenomenal! We ordered four sides to share for the table: creamed spinach, potato pave, mac & cheese and the onion rings. I LOVED the Mac and cheese. But also really enjoyed the creamed spinach and onion rings! I fell in love with the sauce served with the onion rings and beef Wellington as well! Be sure to check this spot out for your next friend get together, date night or a treat yourself kind of night! You won't be disappointed! ”

“ Food-Very good. Except the bronzino, although perfectly cooked the pesto? topping was a bit salty. Tomahawk, pomme purée, mushroom, bone marrow toast were all fantastic Service-excellent! Ambiance-lovely. Mature, speakeasy vibe. We loved it! ”

“ The location is hidden other than a rose on the door and a doorbell. There is one awkward seating right by the door that we initially got sat at (loud + sun shines on you every time they open the door), but they were quick to move us when we asked to switch spots. Staff was very attentive and polite, and they wrote a hand written card in celebration as well handed with the bill which was sweet. Bone Marrow Toast - one of their highly recommended items that was definitely very good Beef Tartare was amazing! probably my favorite item I tried that was not expected Creamed spinach - nice and rich, enjoyable Tomahawk steak - nice large piece that is fun to get. It was a little tougher than I expected but still enjoyable Baked Alaska - great for celebrations or experience a little flair with the fire, not amazing but decent Ambiance is dark lit lighting with a library wall. The pictures on the wall and the nonmatching tableware (cups, plates, etc.) make it feel very homey. It was designed to serve nonmatching sets as homage to a family member that collected and served tableware that was not from a set. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 ”
