I cannot comment on the food, as my wife and I never reached that point in the meal. We made reservations and, upon arrival, were seated without incident. At that point, we waited twenty five minutes before getting up and leaving in frusration, as no one waited on us. I must preface this criticism with the fact that I'm very understanding of poor service when a restaurant is crowded or the staff unintentionally forgets a table here or there. This was not the case at Alenge. I've had bad service before, but I cannot recall an incident where no one came to wait on me. Strike that...where no one came to wait on me after they knew I was there.
The food here may be the best in the world; but I highly doubt it. I've been to much nicer restaurants where service was conducted in a more indirect, uptight manner...but they still brought me a glass of water and asked if I'd like a wine recommendation or cocktail within the first half an hour.
Skip this place and head west to Sonoma County, where the staffs are attentive and the food is excellent.
