I really want to like Altius. The restaurant is beautiful, the view is amazing, the service is good. Everything you want before you order dinner. Unfortunately, the menu is needlessly complicated with ill-pairing sauces and unnecessary ingredients. I'm not interested in how many items a restaurant can list on the menu's descriptions. I'd prefer restaurants which execute great taste while practicing restraint from the pantry and spice rack.
Three additional reasons Altius received a 3* rating from me... which I rarely do since many people consider 3* to be poor.
1. Everything was heavily over salted. One diner in our group sent their meal back for this reason. The rest of us dealt with it.
2. No Italian red wines by the glass, in fact their wines by the glass were all together uninspiring.
3. I want to see Altius up it's game. The restaurant can, and should offer better food to accompany the decor and view.
