Alpen Rose
About This Spot
Stepping into Alpen Rose feels like crossing a threshold from the bustling streets of Philadelphia into a warm, alpine retreat. The soft glow of ambient lighting and rustic wooden accents craft an intimate, chalet-like setting where time seems to slow just enough to appreciate each thoughtful detail. Whether nestled into a cozy booth or seated near the open kitchen, the pace encourages lingering conversations and quiet moments of connection.
Here, the art of the steakhouse is reimagined with care and a touch of spirited charm. The menu invites exploration beyond the familiar, teasing the palate with offerings that range from richly indulgent beef Wellington to bone marrow toast that’s as unpretentious as it is memorable. Each plate arrives with an understated elegance, pairing classic comfort with unexpected accents—a forkful of creamed spinach or a side of beer-battered onion rings that feel both nostalgic and fresh.
The drinks follow suit, crafted to complement without overpowering, with cocktails that merge familiar flavors and seasonal nuances. There’s a quiet joy in savoring a well-balanced drink while soaking in the cozy atmosphere, where the hum of conversations blends with attentive, unobtrusive service.
Alpen Rose isn’t just a dinner destination; it’s the kind of place that marks occasions quietly and truly—whether a first anniversary, a birthday celebration, or a rare evening to just enjoy good company and thoughtfully prepared food. It’s where the details matter, from the perfectly tender cuts of meat to the subtle touches in the sides and desserts that invite second helpings.

My wife and I recently went back to Alpen Rose for our 1st anniversary dinner and we had an amazing night. The service, food, and drinks were all phenomenal. We were lucky to sit at a booth with a view of the entire restaurant and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend the bone marrow toast and the beef wellington! Alpen rose is great for any occasion but they went above and beyond to make our night even more special. Thank you!

Went for a birthday dinner and had an amazing experience. Service was absolutely top notch. We ordered the Parker house rolls and wedge salad to start, as well as two cocktails which were a good value for the quality. For our main we shared the porterhouse and it was PHENOMENAL. The pickled shallots and garlic confit were a lovely touch. I also really enjoyed the house steak sauce and fermented chili sauce they provided. We also ordered the onion rings, asparagus, and pave potato. My only note is our fault in that we over-ordered and should have gone with just two sides. Truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The ambiance of the restaurant is unmatched. A really unique, cozy space. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a milestone or special occasion.

The cozy restaurant is a fun escape that transports you to an Alpine chalet. Book ahead for this popular eatery. The feurzagenbowle tastes like Christmas! The schnitzel and gravy hit the spot. The salmon and the creamy dipping sauce was a great pairing with the potato pancakes.

Yummy meal and great atmostphere. Highly recommended! Alpen Rose has been on my list for a while and glad we did it! Food: VERY tasty steak. It was the first time I had beef wellington so I had no point of reference but the meat was super tender and cooked perfect. Other dishes was good as well. Husband's steak was cooked well as well. Drinks: Cocktails and wine was great! Service and atmosphere: great service. We look forward to coming back and trying more. Recommendation: definitely split the beef wellington and another main dish. Almost each table ordered it and I could see why!

BELIEVE THE HYPE! I attempted to make a reservation here about a month in advance for my boyfriend's birthday and I had no luck...I quickly learned that trying to get into Alpen Rose was possibly harder than getting into an Ivy League school, but I opted to be put on a waiting list and to receive notifications via “RESY” if any reservations were canceled and it was sort of like the universe had my back because we had the first snow storm of the season on my boyfriend's birthday and there were a few cancelations so I was able to secure a table at the exact time we hoped for!!! This is truly a VIP experience from start to finish. No signage outside of the restaurant ... you must ring a bell and tell whomever opens the sliding wood panel on the door your name and should you have a reservation you're let right in, and should you not have one, you're unfortunately turned away as the restaurant only has 12 tables and 4 bar seats, all of which require reservations. Service is top notch from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. And when you walk in you're blown away by the literal and figurative warmth of the restaurant as it's like you're transported back in time into what would be the perfect ambiance for a romantic dinner in a romance novel ... woodwork and chandeliers for days ... cozy plush leather seating ... fire burning grill in the kitchen ... literally the perfect ambiance! We ordered a few cocktails which were made to order and absolutely delicious! I went with the Number 30 and the Number 35 and recommend both. My boyfriend went with their Old Fashioned which he said was one of the best he's had. Bone Marrow Toast, Prawns and Hot Rolls were what we ordered for appetizers and the Dry Aged Strip and Dry Aged Ribeye with Creamed Spinach and the Potato Pancake Stack (that's not the real l name but can't remember what it was actually called lol) was what we ordered for entrees and can I just say that our tastebuds were honestly being seduced because this was some of the most special food we've had in a really long while ... like 5 star special! OMG! And our server who was top notch ended our dinner with surprise Raspberry Sorbet and Mini Pumpkin Pies with candles in them for my boyfriend's birthday! Absolutely 100% worth the hype and every penny! We will be back! Even if we have to make the reservation now for June 2026

My experience at the Alpen Rose went over all my expectations. The food here was absolutely amazing. The service in the staff were great. I mean I cannot talk better. The bone marrow was one of the best I’ve ever had just done so well I think the T-bone was great. I think it could’ve been better, but there’s always improvement to be made the beef. Wellington was amazing really done. Well I would have to say the service was absolutely amazing very kind, but not overly pushy and had a great recommendations. I would definitely recommend coming here.

We had a reservation last night to celebrate us getting married that day. We are completely happy that we chose to do so. From the cocktails to the amazing food we were thoroughly impressed. We split the Tomahawk steak which was perfectly cooked! All the apps and sides were equally delicious and done exceptionally. The ambience is exactly what we were hoping for! Was not disappointed in the slightest! Highly recommend this place!
