At an elevation of 8650 this no frills rustic mountain restaurant is located in Cuchara Village. Inside, license plates decorate the walls and there are tables & chairs for seating. Note, parking is limited. Service was great... very friendly. We arrived for lunch on a weekday during the holiday season & there was no wait. I had the Alpine Burger & substituted a side salad for fries. Burgers are 1/2 pound grass fed beef patties. My burger came with melted Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, onions, lettuce, tomato & pickles. Not only was my burger big, it was cooked perfectly & delicious. The grilled mushrooms & melted cheese were yummy too. The side salad was plain but good, it also was a big portion, however it was served on a too small of a plate, making it difficult to mix the salad dressing in. This was a great meal & I'm looking forward to returning again.

Like any busy local diner, timing can vary depending on the rush, but overall it's a dependable stop if you're in Trinidad and looking for a no-frills meal with a local feel.

After seeing the ad for Alys' in the local paper for years, we finally tried it and loved it! Fantastic food, charming ambiance and super friendly folks. They have a limited menu and extensive wine list, but everything was delicious! To fully appreciate the experience, you have to shed your expectations of a traditional fine dining experience. This is more like going to your favorite Aunt's house for dinner who happens to be a gourmet cook and talented wine collector. The place is literally a residential building. Walk in the front door of the house into a front room that houses a awesome (and great priced) wine collection, then you are seated in a modest but comfortable dining room. We were handed a wine list before a menu and then after the wine was poured, the server verbally shared the few entre options (no prices). I had the NY strip, my wife ordered the grilled tuna, and both were outstanding. No appetizers offered, but your meal comes with a choice of soup or salad. Nice dessert options. The vibe is definitely more private dinner party than commercial enterprise. The bill was startingly modest. Reservations are required, and Alys treats everyone like a personal guest whether you know her well or just met her. Enjoy!

This was truly one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Shortly after we walked in we were…read morewelcomed and offered the choice of sitting indoors or on the patio, we chose the patio. Our server (unfortunately I don't remember his name) asked if we wanted a wine list but we decided against it (my grandmother ended up getting the cab later, one of the smoothest wines she has ever had and it was only 6 dollars). He brought out our antipasto which was a tomato pesto (forgot the name unfortunately), sheep cheese, and Chinese 5 seasoned pork with fresh bread, truly delicious. Our appetizer choices were house salad or New England clam chowder, my grandmother got the salad I got the clam chowder, I have to admit I was a little skeptical when it came out, I prefer a thicker clam chowder, but this was truly one of the best clam chowders I have ever had, and I am from a costal state. My grandmother loved her salad. It is an entirely verbal menu, he gave us 7ish (maybe 8 lol) different options, I went with the Duck confit with a blackberry currant glaze, jasmine rice, and brown beech mushroom and green bean. My grandmother had the teriyaki pork loin chop on jasmine rice paired with the beech mushroom and green beans. I have been to France, Italy, Germany, the UK, Gordon Ramseys Hell's Kitchen, and other Michelin restaurants. When I say this is truly the best piece of poultry I have ever consumed, I mean it. It was tender but not mushy, the rice was cooked perfectly and the glaze brought just enough sweetness and tartness to balance the fat from the duck. It was one of the only meals I have ever consumed and absolutely loved every aspect of. I don't even like mushrooms and I ate every single one. My grandmother loved her food, she has been having some slight stomach issues and she said it felt very good to her body. The loin was evidently pulled just before 145, allowing it to rest and remain extra, extraordinarily juicy and tender, the teriyaki sauce was sweet but not too sweet, it had just the perfect amount of tang as well as notes of ginger I believe. For desert we had the crème brûlée which was extraordinary, one of the best I have ever had. I talked with the head chef (he went to a culinary school in Scottsdale Arizona), and he was a very kind man who brought out our crème brûlée personally to us. If you are hearing all of this and thinking "man this is out of my price range" it is priced at $40 dollars for the antipasto, the soup/salad, and the entree, which is absolutely ludicrous for this quality of food, they could easily charge 60-80 a plate. I highly recommend you give this place a try.

To complete the meal, we ordered a caramel cheesecake to share. It was very light and fluffy and very tasty. It could have used a little more caramel sauce.

Made the trip out with a couple of my no good grown kids. Looks like they just added on a new dining room area. Later on a weekend night, not busy, we were seated right away...and then I felt like the waitresses must have been fighting about who would wait on us because more than five minutes later, was just about at the point where I was thinking about hitting the road, when someone finally came up and waited on our table. Not like the waitresses weren't waiting on other people, it's just no one was waiting on us. Anyway after that, the service was pretty good except at the end where it took awhile to get the check. Food was good. I got the chicken fried steak and it was pretty good. Breading didn't crack away from the steak, the sides were good, and the gravy was really good. Salad was simple but also really good. Others got the pub steak, and I think one of the burritos. All said the food was good. We all got some bread pudding to go which was really good later on. Other than the service blip, it was all good. Another place I would return to.
