Looking for a meal on a lazy Monday night. My wife and started the same old discussion. What are we having for dinner? We got in the car not knowing exactly where we are going.
We decided to try a new place Alton's.
We were there early so the place wasn't very busy. We were seated immediately and our drink order was taken.
The menu has a very nice variety so it is easy to find something to order.
My wife ordered pop overs $4 that she says were very good. She also ordered a entree size salad. The salad had crab meat- shrimp-avocado-hard boiled egg- tomato-greens and dressing $17. She really enjoyed it, it was right up her alley.
I ordered a NY Strip steak that came with French fries $25. The steak was edible but I wouldn't have called it a NY Strip. It was a steak about 1/3" thick and sliced. The shoes string French fries were frozen fries, I believe coated in corn starch to make them crispy. I hate that type of fry. All natural restaurant cut potatoes are much better. The steak dinner as I said was edible but I felt ripped off at $25. I think $16.98 would have made me feel better.
The place itself is very nice. The bar menu was extensive. The service was excellent. I won't say don't try it. I'm going back to try it again. I won't order fries or the NY Strip.
