We loved our visit to Alpen Rose. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff was super friendly and helpful. And everyone was super attentive to our needs. The food and drinks were really good too. The reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 star was because two of the items we ordered underwhelmed. We ordered shrimp cocktail and grilled octopus for appetizers. The shrimp was amazing, but the Octopus wasn’t that great. There was very little octopus on the plate, and way more potatoes. It was good, but not worth the price. We also ordered Mac and Cheese and grilled asparagus as sides, and both were great! We also ordered the bone in ribeye, which was the 2nd item that underwhelmed. We ordered it medium, and we got at best, medium-well. It still tasted good, but for $78, we expected a steak cooked to our liking. And finally we ordered the baked Alaska which was tremendous, a must eat when visiting.

The service here is outstanding. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and they really cared about your enjoyment of what you ordered. I started off with the beef tartare, and while good, I was disappointed that there was no egg yolk. The tomahawk and mushrooms were cooked to perfection and we enjoyed every bite of those! The bone marrow toast was very sweet, something I wasn’t expecting. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t my thing. They offered to take it off, but we had already eaten half of of so I didn’t feel right sending it back. The manager insisted dessert was on them to make up for it, which was such a nice gesture. We opted for the baked Alaska, which was good on the inside, but the outside tasted like a very strong shot of alcohol, so if you’re like me and do not like alcohol, I’d go for something else. Overall, this place is great and we would go back for the steak!

The best restaurant experience I’ve ever had in my entire life! The most delicious steak I’ve ever eaten, cooked to perfection. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were just as phenomenal as the food. The atmosphere of the restaurant is second to none. Don, our waiter, was an absolute pleasure. We will be returning sooner than later! Easily the #1 restaurant in Philadelphia and better than any steakhouse I’ve visited in NYC.

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday. From the moment we arrived we were treated like we were VIP. Our reservation was for 9:15. We arrived early, so the general manager came out and offered us a seat at the bar in their sister restaurant next door, The Double Knot, while we waited. I was really wowed by the fact that the manager walked us through the connecting kitchen of the restaurants to get to the bar. Everything was incredibly clean and neat. I can appreciate a restaurant that is so transparent. We got 2 cocktails while we waited. The manager came back to get us right around 9:10 and sat us at our table. The GM checked my coat for me. Because it’s such an intimate setting, I didn’t even need to ask for my coat or go anywhere to get it, the waiter knew it was mine and brought it to me before we left.

The Harmony of Flavors would bring Pleasure to Any Palate!!! The Space was Intimate, Warm and Inviting, and they Went Out of Their Way to Ensure that we Enjoyed Our Anniversary.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in downtown Philadelphia, look no further than Alpen Rose. I had the pleasure of dining there yesterday and I can confidently say that it’s one of the best restaurants in the city. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and valued. We had reservations at 10:45pm and were the last ones to leave, yet the staff was more than happy to let us stay as long as we wanted. It was like having the restaurant all to ourselves!

Hands down the most phenomenal experience I’ve had. Amazing drinks (#3 and #112), food (the butterflied filet and rack of lamb were amazing), and dessert. No complaints here, everything was amazing. Our waiter Julio was the man, making great suggestions. The experience was well worth the price!

My husband and I had dinner here on 4/10/23 and LOVED every second of our experience. The restaurant is cozy and charming, and we liked that we could peek into the kitchen, see the chefs working, and enjoy the crackling fire through the window.

Can’t beat the ambience for a romantic night out. Good selection of cocktails, excellent beef Wellington and enjoyed their baked alaskan dessert. Servers were attentive and offered good suggestions that did not disappoint. The door is easy to miss, there is no sign , look for a door with a gold rose. Love the speakeasy vibes and elegant overall feel. Despite a previous reviewer saying its more suited for couples, there was a party of 6 seated comfortably next to us . Definitely make reservations ahead of time since It’s such a small spot with only 12 tables I believe. There is an abundance of parking lots nearby but we liked the one about 400 feet from here next to the Holiday inn hotel. Thanks for a lovely Valentines. Can’t wait to return.

It’s a small boutique place. But outstanding in terms of food and service. The place can feel small and crowded but that’s by choice and design I think. The service and food are truly outstanding. They just have 2 wait staff, 1 serving staff and the manager as the guest interfacing people again by design given their small size and all of them are great. We got the bone marrow toast that everyone gets and it was amazing. For the main course we shared a tomahawk steak and beef Wellington along with asparagus and potato hash with cream as our sides. Everything was great with the potatoes being somewhat sub par than expected. The meat quality was just fantastic. The server also recommended a very good Italian red to me to pair with the food. We were originally reserved for the bar and last minute the manager helped upgrade us to the main dining room which was great and very kind of her. Overall it was an amazing experience. I was not a huge believer in boutique steakhouse restaurants but I think Alpen Rose is certainly an exception. It’s on the pricier side but a great place for special occasions and celebrations.
