"Hello, As we are trying to reach out to the large area doing our reviews. We have lived in the area for 23 years and never have heard or been to you restaurant, until we came across your location on OT. We arrived for lunch right 2:30 and greeted by a really charming man named Bryan. Beautiful view, but when presented with the menu because immediately I looked again at my OT app. Bryan told us NOW lunch is only served on weekends, sorry that happened, now I was not able to taste the tortellini, not at 22.00 for lunch when on your menu for 14.00 for lunch. At this point mood changed considerable, guarded you might say. We chose this: Iceberg lettuce topped with bacon, red onion, tomato, caramelized walnuts, and Gorgonzola crumbles finished with our creamy homemade Gorgonzola dressing Now as a great (I think) I know the difference between Iceberg and the bitter white ends of Romaine which we were served with a few green portions of the Romaine. Dressing was tasty but flavor was disturbed by the white ends of the Romaine. Iceberg lettuce would have been great and had the chef told Bryan he had to use Romaine we would have opted not to have the salad. At this point we just threw our experience up to having Pizza, seriously. The Pizza was excellent, nothing on it but sauce and meat, none of those annoying bell peppers or onions, none, thanks for that. We also had an order of the Cheese Bread, very tasty, but took the complimentary bread home, it was horrible, bland no flavor, sort of like something was missing, or like a bland soda bread. That is about it, did suggest to Bryan to make sure you change your lunch menu to not available Mon-Fri. would be our recommendation also please do not take short cuts in ingredients, we all know Romaine is not the same as Iceberg Lettuce, also you realize a wedge salad is not served chopped up....again seriously. Regards, Jim Boynton"

"The food at ALK was outstanding! Our appetizers were wonderful the shrimp tempura was excellent, as was the salad. For the main course, I ordered Beef Wellilngton with a side of mashed potatoes and my husband had two different kinds of sushi. All of these dishes were great! Food is not the issue with this restaurant. The service here did not match the quality of the food, which is unfortunate. We had a 7:30 reservation and arrived at 7:25. There was no table for us so we were seated at a hightop where the manager had been working. Apparently, no wait staff had been assigned to this table because it took 10 15 minutes for a waiter to take our drink order. This happened only after we made inquiries from the welcome desk, which was right next to our table, about who would be serving us. He seemed to be totally oblivious to the fact that no one had taken our order. The most unfortunate part of the evening was that, after clearly placing our order for appitizers to be followed by our main course , all of the food arrived at the table simulaneously. There was, literally, not enough space on the table to place all of the dishes! I asked that the Beef Wellington be returned to the kitchen to be kept warm while I finished my appetizer. When it was brought back to the table the heating lamps had turned the original golden brown pastry shell to a dull gray color which spoiled the impact of the dish. The flavor was, however, excellent and the beef tender and delicious. The main course was followed by an order of cinnamon bread pudding and gelato both of which were wonderful! While the food was outstanding, the quality and level of service was far from acceptable. I would recommend this restaurant for the food with the understanding that you might have some disappointment with the service. One final note, the cocktails here are very expensive about $2 $3 more than we had paid for the same drinks at other restaurants in the area."
