ALTER, is to alter your perception and that’s exactly what Chef Brad Kilgore achieves. Taking all the great aspects of fine-dining and changing people’s minds to a new philosophy. One where you can get fine-dining in a relaxed setting with some rock ‘n’ roll music in the background and at an affordable price point for a 5-course meal.
Located in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami, ALTER welcomes you with its relaxed and intimate warehouse space where waiters in jeans greet you at the door; a bright neon pink light is a center piece in the distance; and the only art displayed in the room is on the intricately plated dishes that guests are savoring one bite at a time.
