Food was amazing as were the servers, owner who was on the premises. We had a sampling of various small plates, starters, entrees and incredible pasta - so flavorful and unique as one doesn't often get authentic swiss/italian/german style dishes done so masterfully. The raclette was the real deal, their own baked breads made me think I was back in Europe again, delicious wines that obviously are curated to enhance the dishes, fun cocktail list, and to top it off an amazing chocolate fondue that our party of 4 shared - it was hard to stop eating everything was so delicious. Definitely worth an evening and for the price of what one pays these days in restaurants - Alpina has a very high value to cost ratio in my book!

The Chequit restaurant experience was excellent -- Both the service and food! Attentive, friendly staff and all our dishes were truly delicious and a good value for the quality and serving size. We enjoyed a generous perfectly prepared hamburger (I was offered a GF bun) which came with hand cut fries, pasta w/clams, crustless cheesecake (shareable) and Pinot Grigio, bread and butter. (One of us is GF -- unfortunately the menu does not indicate they are GF friendly, so we had hesitated coming sooner.)
