"GO TO ALBA for the food, for the drink, for the people We LOVE Alba and have never had anything but stellar service and immaculate, delicious food and drink. Saturday night, June 30, we had an hour before meeting our son downtown, so finally got to sit in the bar. Garrett (later learned he was the GM) made us our first cocktail, the Mother Nature, which we loved so much the first time we had it on the restaurant side that our waiter without us asking gave us the recipe! They were brilliant along with the pork belly rillettes... it was a delicacy! Garrett spent time chatting and explaining cocktails and liqueurs and shared three generous pours of different types that we had never tried so much fun! For our final drink, Steve ordered the Bing Crosby phenom and Garrett made me a special Manhattan with some type of chile liquor and it was so different and delicious. The hour we spent was a total experience good conversation in just the right dose and we learned about and got to try liquor that we would be hesitant to purchase but now know what we like! We're pretty adventurous cooks and diners, but Alba has offered some beautiful and delicious starters and entrees that have allowed us to taste and enjoy many different combinations and ingredients. I highly recommend visiting Alba SOON! Thanks Garrett and Alba!"
