| - Can't begin to tell you how AMAZING our entire experience was at Alton's. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere said "warm," "clubbish" and "comfortable." Our Bartender "Vail" was outstanding, serving us some of the best drinks we've had in memory. I tried their Dragonberry caiparinia - sweet and spectacular. Followed it with a Mojito - equally stellar. We started with Fried Asparagus and rib-stuffed mushroom appetizers, both of which were very good. As for entrées, where have you ever seen a 48oz prime rib??? We opted to split the 24oz PR as suggested by some folks we had just met at the bar, who come there often (and rightly so!) My wife loves the end cut, I prefer mine medium-rare. The chef was able to satisfy both of us, which is no small feat! Probably the best Prime Rib we've ever had - succulent, flavorful, served bone-in and flawlessly seasoned. The mashed potatoes, although only "warm," were still excellent, and the kale side salad was superb. We topped it off with the Oreo Ice Cream Cake dessert (again, recommended by our barmates) and it was to-die-for. Throughout our time there we struck up conversations with both Vail and our new "friends" which made it seem like we were regulars. DEFINITELY the place to go when you're in this area, simply a great experience, and one we'll be talking about for a long time!
