For a completely unique dining experience, make a reservation at Alter. Helmed by James Beard Award semifinalist chef Bradley Kilgore, the ambitious and artful cuisine is best enjoyed with a five- or seven-course tasting menu. Although the menu is constantly being reinvented, standout dishes include items like the soft egg with sea scallop espuma, truffle pearls and caviar and the shaved cobia with olive “snow,” masago, mustard oil and garlic dashi. The space is minimalist, industrial and intimate, boasting one of the neighborhood’s most charming patio bars with an impressive cocktail program to match.
