Alba has fantastic food. Their bartenders and unmatched. They make you feel at home and remember faces. If your looking for a nice night out the roof deck or the high tops at the bar are great. read more

Not that impressed. We arrived for dinner to finish up a balance on an old gift card. The main dining room looks tired. Chairs are scuffed and torn. Brussel sprouts were so bland, I make them better at home. Overall, we left feeling underwhelmed. On a positive note, our waitress was kind and attentive read more

Alba rooftop review only! Gonna keep this short and sweet. We came here for a quick bite and a drink and we're seated promptly, huge seating area upstairs and our waiter was super nice! We ordered the tuna tartare and a few cocktails. The tartare was delicious and honestly great for two people to split for a little some thin' some thin'. One of the cocktails was reminiscent of a tiki cocktail and was delicious, the other tasted a little...less than delicious. Overall good food and a nice atmosphere but thank god we got out right before the thunderstorms read more

Took my girlfriend here right before I planned on proposing to her. Hostess was rude as soon as we walked in. Waiter was rude as well. I couldn't understand what was happening so I asked my fiance if I had something on my face or if we were underdressed. We weren't. Food came out with a different server and our waiter showed up before we had a chance to pick up our utensils asking if everything was ok. I said, "looks ok". My $50 medium rare steak was uncooked in the middle. The sides were overpriced and I make better brussel sprouts at home. Waiter never came back to check on us. I tried to make this a special night. If it had been we would have come back a couple of times a year. Never again. read more

Alba is definitely one of my favorite local spots in Quincy. Besides having the nicest rooftop bar within a 5 mile radius, they also serve pretty great appetizers and the service is consistent. Here's some from my must try list. Guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds: Raw Bar and Tuna tartar - Always fresh and delicious Caesar salad - It comes with these white anchovies that just makes this delectable and not your usual Caesar. Fries - If you ask them nicely, they can usually serve it as truffle fries as opposed to the regular variation off their menu Salmon with crab entree - Fairly new to their menu. Cooked to perfection and very tasty. Other bonuses: they have the $25 for 3 courses deal Mondays-Wednesday, an awesome wine list and free valet parking. I will be back! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Alba. The staff - Debra, Michael, Alessi, Aldi, literally everyone who works there is absolutely great. They go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful experience. I have been in now 3x in the last week with my 9yr old and they made him feel so special. The Bolognese is as delicious today as it was 13yrs ago. The grilled octopus, chicken wings, tuna tartare are equally worth a visit. The roof deck is perfect now for the summer nights!!! read more

Alba Restaurant - New American Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

The food is always excellent at Alba restaurants. We were a party of 6 and all very happy with our cocktails and dinners. The service was excellent. They even have valet parking in Quincy. I highly recommend Alba in Quincy and Hanover. read more

Leo, the owner, sees to it that the menu, food preparation and wait staff are top notch. It's a two hour drive for us from Connecticut but we make a weekend out of it and have dinner there every time we go to Boston. The pork chops are tender, moist and flavorful and the steak and fish entrees are just as scrumptious and leave you perfectly satisfied. I needed a moment alone with the oysters; they were fresh and delightful. The drinks are excellent and the desserts are among the best we've ever had. During the summer months, the roof dining is available (our cigar-smoking friend was able to enjoy a drink and his cigar after the meal). The atmosphere is haut couture inside a renovated bank building with floor to ceiling windows, tiered seating and art deco soft lighting. Just beautiful! Definitely need reservations. We taxi over from the Marriott Quincy. Can't wait to go back! read more

Alba has one the best staff around. Very professional and attentive. Ambience has a very relaxed feel. Food was decent. Prime rib was well seasoned, exactly the way I want it. (Medium rare ) Seafood (cod and mussles in cream sauce) was good. Appetizer, (steak tar tar ) was ok, nothing to rave about. Great wine selections. (Only thing is, half of a wine bottle is a full small bottle which to me is not even close to a full half) After finishing our dinner, -we asked for the dessert menu, our waitress asked us if this was a special occasion which my gf stated (it's our Anniversary) What a beautiful ending with dessert coming to us with a candle. read more

I want to start off by saying Alyssa is a fantastic server. She was attentive, kind, and truly cared about keeping her guests safe during the reopening of the state after covid. We have been to Alba many times over the past few years and have always loved this restaurant. Unfortunately, I will no longer be dining here due to carelessness regarding sanitation and safety during covid-19. Many associates had both their nose and mouth exposed while handling food and drinks and while speaking to guests. While I understand that working in a mask is difficult, I also manage a restaurant and take sanitation and safety very seriously - especially during covid-19. If you are all concerned about covid-19. Do not eat here. read more

Awesome meal last night at Alba Quincy with friends. Always top notch service and great food. Every dish is made to order and modifications are encouraged. The top notch service is seamless as all of the staff work as a team. No staff member passes a table without checking in. If you have not stopped in you must check it out. They always accommodate walk-ins when space is available but reservations are recommended! They have worked very hard through Covid to keep all of their customers and staff safe and healthy! read more

Nice restaurant. Nicely decorated. Dark, not enough lighting in the joint. Can't read the menu with the poor lighting. Not to mention the wording on the menu was very small. Had to bring up the menu on our phones from their website to actually read their menu. The noise level was so loud you could not talk to each other in your party let alone place your order comprehensively. With this I would have rated 3 stars but because of the great service from our waitress and the food being excellent, I will rate 4 stars. The waitress, Emily, was awesome. Especially when she seemed to be the only one working. Restaurant was full and she was attentive, friendly, polite and professional. We ordered the fish and chips and ribeye. For appetizers, we order the grilled octopus and calamari. All were cooked perfectly and delicious. The chocolate cake for 2 was amazing. The cake alone could have been 5 stars. Will definitely return to try out the other items on the menu and order another piece of the chocolate cake for dessert. read more

The steak was good but nothing out of this world. On the menu it has sides for the steak so I thought it was going to come on the plate as add ons. Well the side came on their own plate instead on the plate with the stake. On top of that I thought the mushrooms were going to be cooked with the steak and added on to it like most places. Well the gave me a bowl with tons of mushrooms. The place is nice but I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Excellent food, great friendly staff. Unbelievable roof deck, too bad they dont open one in north shore. ...

Very nice restaurant. I managed to share quite a few dishes which I'll share here. The clam chowder had big chunks of potatoes and a mild flavor. The crab cakes were very tasty! At $14, the tuna and avocado tartar was a good value (and really good!). It's has siracha sauce, so expect a little kick. (avoid if you hate spice) For dinner I had the boneless rib eye special ($42). I ordered it medium rare because this isn't Applebees. It was, in fact, very medium rare, but I enjoyed the steak very much. I enjoyed the outside especially due to the crust. Overall the service was excellent. This place is really good if, say, your brother-in-law is paying because you walk his dog every day. Otherwise, I enjoyed the food but it is rather pricey. Certainly a treat for most people. read more

Alba Restaurant - Tuna Tartare at Alba - New American Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I wasn't expecting to find a world class restaurant of this caliber in downtown Quincy. Walking through the front door immediately transports you into a European bistro equal to any you would find in larger cities. The service is impeccable. Shout out to our server David who treated our party of six like royalty. The menu, mostly steak and seafood, is expansive. The dishes are prepared and plated elegantly. For a special treat try the "chocolate cake for two" for dessert - an understatement as a "slice" satisfied all of us with some left over. Seven layers of heaven. read more

Great food , great service. Menu ok , very expensive, all sides are extra . Easy to spend $60 a head without cocktails. Not my first go to place in Quincy , a few similar restaurants with better prices ! read more

This is my go-to restaurant when my fussy mother is in town. The food is to die for they have wonderful servers too. You won't be disappointed here for sure. read more

The food was good (80 out of 100). Food delivery was slow but we had a big group of people who enjoyed spending time together so this was not an issue. Service was pleasant. My only major complaint was the acoustics. The high ceilings with no accoustic tile made it very hard to hear, even for the youngest of us. Hard of hearing beware!!! read more

Eh. I used to be a devoted customer but changes to the menu and a reduction in service quality has made my most recent visit my last. We were a party of 11 on a Saturday, but the bar area where we sat wasn't busy at all. The server was new but did his best and the complaints really aren't about him. With a large party, and in my past experience here, there would usually be 2 people taking care of the table but it was just him and the guy filling the water so the night was drawn out. Also, no one ever told us valet closes at a certain time so imagine our surprise when we had to track someone down who had to find the keys etc. As for the food, there are now more a la cartes. One of us ordered the filet mignon with 2 sides. That alone was $62. I mean come on. Also, fwiw, the waiter said it would take a while to cook this so was it ok to butterfly it. A $44 filet mignon? Butterflied? Interesting. My friend said yes. I would've said forget it and ordered a salad which is hard to screw up. Two other burgers, which should be simple enough and for $16-$18 should be cooked right, came out wrong. Now while it was quiet in the bar, and we were there from 6:30-11:00pm so it's not like we missed the rush, the roof deck was banging. I suspect Quincy has redirected its focus to alcohol sales and Hanover is now the great food location because we've been there and the food and service there is how Quincy used to be. I guess it's good for the roof deck or if you want to grab a drink and an app at the bar--their calamari has yet to disappoint, but for a group sit down dinner that is going to run you $700+? Nahh. Not any more. read more

My wife, and I, celebrated a much anticipated occasion on Monday, 20Feb2023, so we chose Alba Restaurant. We have eaten there a number of times and always received great food and good service. The food was great (as expected), but what really made the evening fantastic and truly memorable was the service of our waitress, Emily. She greeted us with a genuine happy-to-see-you smile, and joined in our celebration, which only added to our enjoyment. She was attendant and informative on each dish we considered so much that I trusted her with the selection of my dessert. She knocked it out of the park by choosing creme brulee. Emily's sweet disposition made for a great night. We will definitely request her agency in our future visits. read more

If you're looking for a cool place to have an early dinner or lunch the rooftop on Alba is a great place to be. Great place for casual hangouts or get-togethers with friends. The menu is a little limited but that does make it easier to make a decision on what you'd like to order. The burger I ordered came out exactly how I wanted and the fries were super addictive. Will be coming back more often. read more

Was back in 2023 Thanksgiving and dining was a head scratcher. Family member and I had a 5pm reservation. Now you would be under the impression that being Thanksgiving there would be lots and lots of white and dark meat turkey. Nope! Location opened at one and turkey was GONE by kickoff of the late NFL game. WTF? Waitress informed me that in 2022, location had ordered too much turkey and in 2023 location decided to cut back on their order. Really? I would under stand if the entrees ran out, but HELLO IT'S THANKSGIVING! I'm sure if there was still leftovers in 2023, there are many a not so well off individuals and families in the Quincy MA area would not mind having some turkey. Location even decided no Prime Rib in the 2023 menu. So we ordered for the filet mignon and a salad. But wait, when the staff cleared the table off for two since we were sitting at a table for 4, staff took away salad forks. HELLO,WE JUST SAT DOWN AND ALREADY YOU'RE TAKING AWAY SALAD FORKS? And no bread while waiting for salad? Salad and entrees arrived and all was fine then. But then came desert. Oh, everything was fine for the desert, but staff must have been in a hurry to clean tables. Only one round of coffee offered and no second cup offered? Hmmm. Wonder if this was management instructions. One cup, leave customer their check and when giving change or credit card back, that's it, there out! Food is always good, but service reminds me of the MBTA Green Line. Up one minute. Down the next and then all need to board shuttle buses! read more

John, the bartender at Alba (shaved head, cross tattoo on his wrist), is simply put the best in the business. The food here is good not great but John, the bartender, is the full meal deal. Nothing fancy, just fast balls down the middle. Zips around with devastating purpose, leaving no glass unfilled or food order not placed. Fantastic to watch him work. read more

Hell no way to much money for the half cooked meal. Everything is separate and highly priced. Bad customer service and the expect extra money even with the bad food customer service and the place is not clean. All the utensils are dirty along with the floors read more

Was the grilled octopus one of the best dishes I've ever had? Yes Did we order it twice? YES! Seriously phenomenal. My cousin had a white sangria that was delicious. I was a little disappointed with our server hence dropping a star. He was curt and uninterested. But the food was so good that I'm still giving this 4 stars read more

Im genuinely SHOCKED that this place does not do takeout or delivery of any form?? I mean are we kidding, in this day and age in the hospitality industry to not offer any form or deliver and not even PICK UP! Disclaimer** I adore the food here, but am genuinely disappointed that this place does not seem able to throw their food in a box so that I may pick it up? Not a lot of work required there, seriously I will get in my car and drive to you... but no?? Please guys, let's make takeout a possibility!! read more

I was pleasantly surprised on their food, consider it as high end dining in Quincy Center. The food were fresh and the oysters, we got a dozen. It wasn't cheap but it was worth it. We were first seated on the patio but it got too loud so we went back to the main dining room. We will be back when our bank fills up a little. read more

One of the best steak house in MA. Great ambiance and wonderful service. Do check out their roof top for the brunch.

One of the go-to fine dining establishments in Quincy. Great staff, and food never disappoint. A bit pricey, but not unreasonable.

My husband and I went specifically to the roof deck.- cannot speak to what happens in the main restaurant. Drink were good. Here's where my review takes a turn: We ordered a nearly 69 dollar ribeye medium rare. Came out well done without the mashed potatoes the menu said they were supposed to come with. Ordered the burger medium rare- it was cremated beyond well done. Burger also came with a long black hair. Brought this to the attention of our waitress and she asked "what do you want to do?" Felt awkward at that point- because I thought us mentioning what we ordered being different and missing things it was supposed to come with was clear...and we just said "it's fine" because we have never had something like this happen. The waitress sent over her manager to check on us, who never identified herself as the manager. We just said "fine" when she asked. But we couldn't eat 1/4 of our plates it was so terrible. I was so frustrated at the end that I asked for the manager. The woman who came around and didn't tell us she was the manager prior came back. We told her what was unsatisfactory about the experience- she looked at the rib-eye (which was super gray) and had the audacity to say "that's medium rare." Super awkward and uncomfortable experience. She ended up taking things away and taking it off our bill but that was even a surprise because she just left our table abruptly. But honestly- being argued with that we don't know what medium rare is by a manager is absolute crap. Go there for drinks not for food. Food at Burger King out of the trash is better. Customer service at the DMV is better. Also- shout out to Idle Hour for turning our night around. read more

$15 for a watered-down old fashioned with shaved ice in a tiny plastic cup. Needless to say, we continued our night elsewhere.

Best place ever !!!!!!!!!!! Good food excellent service !!!!!!!!!!!! Live shelling and the meat !!! All done very nice and fresh !!!! read more

Work dinner, so not from here. Found this gem on Yelp. I didn't take enough pictures, but food was fantastic. James was a very attentive server and brought out our drinks promptly (important). The beers were ice cold, also important. We had 5 different entrees, but my favorite things were the Lobster Bisque and the Mac and cheese. The steak that was ordered at the table was raved about and perfectly cooked medium rare. Thank you for a great dinner! Cheers read more

Incredibly average food that took upwards of 45 minutes to serve. We had ordered a simple burger and a panini (which was more just a grilled bread sandwich). Our server chose to give us a small glass of a cocktail rather than actually apologize for any delay. The burger arrived cooked to order, but otherwise very bland and devoid of seasoning. Would not generally recommend this dining experience. read more
