Good morning, hungry people.
This is Keith Pandolfi, the food and dining writer with The Enquirer. With its new Madison Square development, Madisonville has become something of a dining destination as of late. It’s now home to the Element Eatery food hall, the Placebo cocktail bar and The Summit Hotel, which offers its own in-house restaurant.
But the newest tenant, Alara, is something altogether different: a downtown-caliber, fine-dining restaurant smack-dab in the middle of it all.
I visited Alara, which is owned and operated by Looking Glass Hospitality, last week. While I’d like to say I remained anonymous (an almost impossible task these days), they were on to me the second I walked in. Still, I kept a close eye on the dining room, and almost every dish that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. And every customer was treated just as well as I was.
