ALBA on 53

I'll start by saying I'm a, Celiac. Anyone who is or knows one knows how frustrating it can be. Freddy, was my server. All I said to him was "I'm a celiac. Can I eat here?" That way I know if they know. He knew. That was fantastic! He made sure to tell me what I could eat and told me he will work with me. Thank you, Freddy. I had the, Double Cut Pork Chop, Brussel sprouts and whipped mashed potatoes. It was absolutely delicious! The pork was so tender and juicy I had to ask if they brine it. Turns out they don't! Freddy understood the temp I wanted on the meat and was very good with my kids. Give, Freddy a star 🌟 he gets my vote. And also the kitchen. It's takes the front and back to make that kind of experience happen for someone like me. Thank you, ALBA. And thank your staff especially, Freddy. Salute!

Alba - Hanover June 2023, opens at 4:PM and on Friday it filled up quickly. I wish they had more for me to eat The menu is small and no special gluten free options or many vegetarian options… I had the beet salad and it was good. Please do not drink the Hanover water it’s bad! Buy a bottle of water! ‘There is seating outside! Thursdays They have entertainment starting at 6:30 PM. There is another night for entertainment starting later! Okay things change - 11/2023 - We have gone to Albas often -this evening there were many very aggressive flies Dive bombing people and drinks at the bar and landing on the napkins! We had napkins on our drinks for protection . I at first moved my drink to dodge flies it spilled on the bar and he never came to clean it up , I used a lot of napkins also because they actually absorbed my pricy drink when I removed them from my glass my Vodka dripped on the bar! Finally, I said to the bartender I was tired of fighting with flies to have a drink, (also concerned because flies create parasites .) and I said I’m leaving and don’t think I should have to pay for this. This tall male bartender rudely said -as he’s picking up the sopping wet napkins- “well you drank some of it.” After all I put up with! The manager finally came over a little sarcastic and offered nothing ! I said the gentleman next to me has been trying to kill the flies all this time! He replied , “I know I thought he got one” and then I realized he was watching this fiasco instead of coming over apologizing and Trying to do something about it. “It’s all about how we are treated, respect costs nothing! They had Bad Attitude and Not good customer relations! Do They need the money bad enough to disrespect older frequent customers! 😏 I’m sure they will get rid of the flies but the “gross” experience and “their negativity” will remain forever !. The other bartenders are always polite and on top of things !
