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 ❤️
Great ambiance and food. The server was attentive and overall the food was really good. The inly complaint is that for both entrees we asked for medium and as you can see from the photo the beef wellington was overcooked so it was a little tough. But the steak above was amazing! Would definitely recommend coming here rather than any of the other steakhouses in philly

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 .

Highly recommend. Went there for birthday dinner. The whole secret, speakeasy style was very unique. Imagine having an amazing dinner in a classy, gothic library, this is the place for you. Get service.

Great dining experience! Waitress was attentive and patient with us. Everything was delicious. I would do without the clover roll next time. It wasn’t anything special. Will be back!!

*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!

Had an absolutely amazing meal here. The entire experience was fun, from ringing the doorbell when we arrived to hanging out at the bar and taking in the ambiance of the small and intimate space.
We had the bone marrow with pork cheek (delicious), tomahawk, Mac and cheese, charred broccoli, and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and the cocktails were amazing. Saw a few tables get a drink that was served table side with the server pouring fire between two cups. We finished with the baked Alaska which was also served flaming!

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.

The steak was great, so was the onion rings. The beef Wellington was not bad, it’s not Ramsay Gordon but still one of the better ones around here.
The sides was superb but bone marrow was lackluster. A bit sweet and salty for my taste.

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.
