Intimate steakhouse with a speakeasy vibe, known for bone marrow toast
"Most steakhouses fall into one of two camps: traditional, white tableclothed chophouses with tufted leather booths and servers in tuxedos, and sleeker, trendier places with unconventional menu options and TikTokers going live over ribeyes. Alpen Rose, the Schulson steakhouse, sits smack dab in the middle—it offers the top-tier service, quality, and portion sizes of a classic steakhouse, with the broader menu, casual vibes, and better soundtrack of the new school. It’s small, almost cozy, and the smoky, well-seasoned tomahawk is the single best piece of meat in the city. Be sure to get an order of the bone marrow toast and potato pavé, and forget about the chaos awaiting you on 13th Street." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Call ahead for a reservation and you’ll be ushered through a speakeasy-style door into the candlelit dining room of the intimate Alpen Rose, where every seat has a view into the kitchen. At this Central City member of the Schulson Collective restaurant group, all of the steaks benefit from 14 to 120 days of in-house aging, but don’t sleep on creative twists on classic steakhouse appetizers, like their much-requested bone marrow toast." - Annemarie Dooling
"The ultimate dining destination to make a proposal or serious dating commitment, this grand steakhouse from Schulson Collective doesn’t disappoint. Be sure to come hungry — their divine 38 ounce tomahawk ribeye steak, savory lamb rack, beef wellington, and lobster linguine is nothing for the meek." - Eater Staff
"Since 2019, this ultimate special occasion steakhouse continues to impress diners from across the region with its intimate dishes. Romantic-comfort cuisine includes memorable entrees such as the lobster linguine, brick-pressed chicken, and an impeccable dry-aged rib-eye steak." - Eater Staff, Ernest Owens
