   Loved the shrimp and grits! The biscuits were also good, but the butter didn't really have much flavor. They need to use honey butter or some kind of sweet butter

   If you want southern cooking at its best, this is the place to visit. Imagine if your favorite southern aunt opened a Michelin-starred restaurant, that's what Alta Adams is. The service is friendly and professional, and the flavors will blow your mind.

   The food was delicious but it took an awfully long time to get to our table. Things were forgotten or wrong. Amends were made (things taken off the bill) And will go back because the food was so good, but hope for a different waitering outcome.

   Recommend you stay with the 'soul food' selections as this is where they excel. I had the biscuits and gravy and eggs - very good. My wife had soft scrambled eggs with potatoes - cold, all potato, and one egg scrambled; but definitely not soft. And all that after waiting an hour for the main dishes to come out. They must have had a couple of people not come to work today because the seating was slow and so was the service. Disappointing this time around.

    Restaurant was overbooked and customers with reservations had to wait an hour plus to be seated. Check in process was extremely disorganized and host was clueless...unable to provide crowd waiting to be seated with any sort of timeline or even an apology. Many people with eight o’clock reservations just left frustrated by the process. Those that stayed were not offered any explanation or courtesy while they waited.

    Great food and vibe. Very friendly service although a little slow. I loved the menu selections which had lots of vegetarian options, but the prices are def too high. Especially it's not exactly a high rent area.

    I am apprehensive to recommend Alta, because I feel like very soon I won't be able to get a reservation. (LOL) Each experience I've had here has been amazing. Most recently I showed up without a reservation, and had to sit at the bar, and learned about several different drinks because I saw them being made ( i also discovered a new fave). I absolutely love Alta! Try the Black eyed pea fritters, the greens, the little gems salad... Try it all.... you won't be disappointed!

    The food we enjoyed was WONDERFUL and we'll definitely be back to try more. We had the soft-scrambled eggs with mushrooms, leeks, and fried potatoes. The eggs were creamy, cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The only thing stopping this from being a five-star review was the service. The staff seemed to be stretched thin, almost as if they were down a server. It took awhile before someone came to the table to offer water or drinks and an ordered cocktail came to the table with incorrect ingredients. Our server, while personable and friendly, seemed new and a bit inexperienced and being understaffed didn't help him out. All in all, a great experience that we'll look forward to trying soon.

    Waited an hour to be seated - with a reservation - and then was seated in the cafe next door. Food was brought out all at the same time less than ten minutes after we sat down. No one was apologetic or even offered to comp anything. The food was excellent but I’ll never go back.

    Even with a reservation you will most likely have to wait. We, along with 3 other parties, had to wait 30 additional minutes to be seated.

    Great food as usual....woohoo... We were happy we had reservations because the place was full. The only negative we have is that the staff and valet were not equipped to handle a large crowd. It was awkward at the check in which left us standing unsure of who if anyone was seating us.... After we were seated, we had to summon a server who was not assigned to our table to take our order. She kindly took great care of us even though it was not her table. Thinking the staff should wear some type of distinguishing uniform as the host had on athletic wear and a cap and someone asked if we had our drinks who had on a red jogging suit and cap.. We would not have thought either of these individuals were associated with the restaurant.

    A wonderful experience. Spectacular in every sense. Chef came over to check in with us during the meal, and we couldn't stop filling our mouths to properly tell him how great the experience was. No restaurant in LA feels as good as this one.

    Held my birthday brunch there with the fam and it was a beautiful experience from the ambience to the food and the location. It was my first time dining there and the memories made will be forever cherished. Thank you for bringing such a fine dining experience to my neighborhood with cultures and tastes I recognize! I definitely will be back! Thanks for accommodating us!

    Food was on point. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp and grits and collard greens salad. I haven’t had collard greens prepared this way before. The greens were thinly sliced with some thinly sliced carrots, radishes and topped with peanuts. Was a treat to go today and Chef Carla Hall added her own dishes to the menu like chicken pot pie over a cornbread biscuit. She came out to talk to the patrons and advised us what to get. We had a full table of delicious dishes. Our waiter was great and friendly. Minus a star for the hostess that didn’t really smile and looked like we were nothing her. Maybe she was having a bad day but as the first face you see when entering a restaurant, she didn’t look happy to see us.

    Celebrating a friend’s birthday. Had a blast! Began with happy hour where the bartender selected our beverages which were all great than had a wonderful dining experience. Everything we had was delicious. Collard greens, shrimp and grits, bbq cauliflower, cornbread, and red beans and rice. The food was so tasty there was no room left for dessert.
