Alpen Rose

It's a small boutique place. But outstanding in terms of food and service. The place can feel small and crowded but that's by choice and design I think. The service and food are truly outstanding. They just have 2 wait staff, 1 serving staff and the manager as the guest interfacing people again by design given their small size and all of them are great. We got the bone marrow toast that everyone gets and it was amazing. For the main course we shared a tomahawk steak and beef Wellington along with asparagus and potato hash with cream as our sides. Everything was great with the potatoes being somewhat sub par than expected. The meat quality was just fantastic. The server also recommended a very good Italian red to me to pair with the food. We were originally reserved for the bar and last minute the manager helped upgrade us to the main dining room which was great and very kind of her. Overall it was an amazing experience. I was not a huge believer in boutique steakhouse restaurants but I think Alpen Rose is certainly an exception. It's on the pricier side but a great place for special occasions and celebrations.

Can't beat the ambience for a romantic night out. Good selection of cocktails, excellent beef Wellington and enjoyed their baked alaskan dessert. Servers were attentive and offered good suggestions that did not disappoint. The door is easy to miss, there is no sign , look for a door with a gold rose. Love the speakeasy vibes and elegant overall feel. Despite a previous reviewer saying its more suited for couples, there was a party of 6 seated comfortably next to us . Definitely make reservations ahead of time since It's such a small spot with only 12 tables I believe. There is an abundance of parking lots nearby but we liked the one about 400 feet from here next to the Holiday inn hotel. Thanks for a lovely Valentines. Can't wait to return.

This restaurant was absolutely stunning! My boyfriend reserved a table for us for our anniversary, knowing that I am a steak loving girl. The entry to the restaurant was hilariously mysterious and incredibly low-key. Everything about our time here was an experience. Super romantic and intimate. Food was PHENOMENAL! Finding a great steak in the Philadelphia area can sometimes feel impossible for me. However, the cut, sauce, and cooking was literal perfection! Chefs. Kiss. Thank you so much for a wonderful anniversary. We really did have a splendid time here ❤️

Came here with my friends to celebrate my hubby and friend’s birthday. It was our first time here. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I love the bone marrow toast and Maine scallops. It was full of flavors. It’s a must try. The beef Wellington was cooked perfect but I prefer the tomahawk ribeye with the pickled shallots and roasted garlic. The baked Alaska was a bit was ok. I did enjoy the presentation of the dessert but not so much the dessert itself. We definitely enjoy the food and will be back to check out other items on the menu. The only downside was finding parking in center city can be quite a challenge.

An amazing, intimate experience from the Schulson collection. Awesome assortment of cocktails, the dinner menu is awesome. If you want a steak, this is a different experience than the traditional one. But the best aspect of Alpen Rose is the staff. Everyone is reading your mind and if you have the pleasure of having Julio for your evening, you won't have a better experience.

*A beautiful boutique steakhouse in Philadelphia* (yes it’s small but don’t let that fool you) For those that are new to the restaurant, look for a rose on the exterior wall and then don’t forget to ring the doorbell (yes, it’s a thing!). The wait staff was so thoughtful and kind (we just got engaged and brought us some bubbles to celebrate). They even shared their sister restaurant’s spicy Asian sauce (great for seafood) and their house steakhouse. We got the gulf shrimp appetizer (large and flavorful), four pieces total. For our main, we split the porterhouse and got grilled asparagus (smokey, topped with Parmesan) and the beer-battered onion rings (these ARE amazing. A must-get!). To finish, the bakes Alaska was served table side in flambé fashion. While the meat we had wasn’t perfect, the manager and staff were fantastic and made our evening so special. We’ll be back!

The food was phenomenal! We had the bone marrow toast, octopus, and oysters to start. We had the tomahawk steak, duck and Bronzino for our entrees with Mac & cheese, fries, and mushrooms as sides. Everything was great. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere was cute! You press a doorbell to enter, cute porcelain plates, books lining the walls- very Alice in wonderland vibes

We started with the bone marrow toast, and the bread ( forgot to picture ). They were both great. The 8 Oz filet and porterhouse came out cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. Mac & Cheese was ridiculous . Love it here. Highly recommend .
