Went to ALBA for the first time last night for a pre holiday dinner with a good friend and our waiter ALEX made the whole experience MAGICAL from beginning to end, He made everything so special, made excellent suggestions, explained everything in detail and even went out of his way to see that everything was served to perfection, Everyone who came to our table that night were doubly fantastic as well, Ask for ALEX tell him HRH sent you;)) Eat well!
Great place for drinks in a beautifully decorated lounge/bar setting. The overall vibe is wonderful and worth a visit.
My recommendation is to avoid the hostess at all cost. She gives a negative feeling to the entire experience. Sad for such a great restaurant with fantastic food. Everything we ate was delicious, fresh and delightful! When we entered the restaurant we had a reservation. There were two tables taken inside, and two tables taken outside on the terrace, as it was a 5:30 pm reservation. When we left at 7:00pm maybe a quarter of the restaurant was full. When we entered the restaurant It was raining and we had requested a seat outside, but since the restaurant wasn’t full we chatted with the hostess about sitting inside. she then told us she couldn’t seat us inside because she had other reservations. She was dismissive and wasn’t friendly at all.
