Alpana made for an excellent celebration dinner for my and my fiancée's proposal! The foliage and soft lighting in the evening made for a charming and fairly intimate ambiance, and the food was just delicious — we got the vodka and pesto pastas, as well as an excellent peppermint sundae. We enjoyed the complimentary non-alcoholic "wines" for the celebration too! On top of all that, the prices were impressively reasonable given the quality they provided, adding up to a very rewarding visit.

1st time hear celebrating my best Friend's birthday and yes they Didn't charge us for the dessert but all the server did was put a candle on it and come out and hand it to her no special song or Even say Happy Birthday just lit the candle and put it down in front of her and walked away. Grateful for the dessert but It would have been nice to sing a little Happy Birthday or make it a little special for her since it was a milestone birthday. When I asked about things on the menu the server seemed bothered that I asked...we never been here so I was asking what he suggests. Maybe he had something on his mind but they AUTOMATICALLY ADD 18% gratuity to your bill so I assume that's why he really didn't care. I tipped in addition to that added gratuity but the service on this 1st experience was not warm or welcoming. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing that I would give 5 stars the drinks during happy hour were also very tasty we will be back...and hopefully we will experience better service. The food was spot on...loved it!!
