Alta CA: A good spot on Mid-Market for a late-night bite
The Mid-Market renaissance continues with this late-night spot kitty-corner from the Twitter offices. This newest entry in Daniel Patterson's growing portfolio certainly has his pedigree - impeccably sourced food and craft cocktails - but, like Twitter, is better in short form.
Alta is a place to start your night with a sip and nibble or to end it with a midnight burger.
The vibe: The space is light and airy, and so is the temperament. Maybe it's the huge windows that look out onto Market Street. Or the wall of spirits, which climbs to the ceiling with rows of booze, books and other knickknacks. In any case, there's plenty to look at and ponder.
The crowd: Surprisingly docile. Yes, Alta is a stone's throw from Twitter.
