Absolutely delicious! In memory of Anthony Bourdain, we were looking for something different and found something very special at Alta. We loved it. Every dish was a treat. There were four of us and we shared family style. One of our party is particularly fussy and hard to please and had never had traditional Scandinavian food. They were completely satisfied with and smiling after every bite. I never thought pickled herring, not my first choice in food, could taste so good. When we go back it will be the first thing I order. And I'll order the exceptional meatballs with fries. I'm not sure why this restaurant is not packed with people waiting for a table. Could be the under stated signage or the Melrose location and parking. We found parking across the street in a lot for $10. Over all, very much worth the trouble for an amazingly pallet pleasing evening.

Good food, slow service, only one waitress. Unexpected 16% service charge ( besides tip) not advertised on the menu or by our waitress.

The food was very authentic traditional Swedish with great portions. The service was not to par. There were 2 people in our group that are Swedish and they joked that the service was like we were in Sweden yet we are in the U.S. They seemed to be understaffed with only 3 people (2 chefs and 1 waitress). The chef/owner was delivering the food to the tables. The waitress brought us a bottle of wine and didn't pour any in the glasses. Maybe an off day for the restaurant.

What a fantastic place! There were four of us and we shared everything - it was all spectacular. The pickled herring toast was some of the best quality fish we had ever eaten and the cod (celeriac puree!), perfect steelhead trout (looks and tastes somewhat like salmon) over cauliflower risotto, seafood casserole (tasty fennel saffron seafood stew), and tender veal meatballs with pickles and lingonberry jam - all delicious. We also had a great Austrian white wine to go with it all. One of the best meals any of us have eaten in LA - hope this place gets the attention it deserves and stays open! Only small downside - the waitress was weird and kind of judgy of our orders - they need someone who will sell how special this food is. Clean, delicate flavors - not going to knock you over the head, but all the better for it.

I will never go back to this restaurant. The food was fine, average. But the service was poor. She had literally two tables in the entire place. The three of us and a table of Ye people and their two kids. She would disappear, she forgot our toast, she didn’t know anything about the menu items. Completely ditsy. And then, to add insult to injury the restaurant that has just about no customers has the gall to add a 16% service fee in addition to a tip that they expect. 16% plus the customary 15% or more for tip. You have got to be kidding me. Even Kali, Republique, and Nomad (very good popular restaurants) don’t charge even a third of that for their service fees. I will not be surprised at all when this place goes out of business. I will tell everyone I know to avoid this place because of the 16% fee. That is outrageous.
