I have been to Altons 5 or 6 times and I must say that this is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The menu is small but done extremely well. Each time I go I try to get a different item. Everything I've tried has been perfect.
The lamb shank, filet and scallops are the top 3 things I've tried. However the ribs are amazing also.
I've never been there when a huge crowd has been present which is surprising but one of the things I also love about this place. The Sunday brunch is a very busy time, and it is also wonderful.
I highly recommend you try this restaurant. It can get pricey however I've always felt that it's worth the money.
