Description

Alana's Food & Wine

Located just north of campus on N. High St. just past E. Oakland Ave. Serving eclectic cuisine with entrees running $15 to $25. One example of an entree is the Cobb A La Muska With Salami, Peppered Bacon, Slivered Veggies, Hard Boiled Egg, Pecorino Pepato And Cabernet Buttermilk Dressing all for around $8. Open for dinner Tuesday through Sunday. There is no children's menu. A long-standing reputation for serving outstanding meals and finger foods at private functions. Alana's Happy Lucky Wok is ideal for poolside parties and other casual dining events. Dishes can be made for sit-down dining, or handed out in Chinese food containers. You can often catch the wok in action during Sunday brunch at Alana's Food & Wine. A kosher version of the wok is also available upon request. The ambiance of the dining rooms and patio is French brasserie with a flare. They also have a wine shop with a wide selection available for you to to either enjoy with dinner at the restaurant, or to take home and enjoy on your own. The restaurant was founded by Alana Shock who is also a personal chef and previously a Chef tournade at Emeril's in New Orleans and several executive or management level chef positions at other fine dining restaurants.

Nutcase
I have been to Alana's twice - both times the food was excellent. But Alana is a nutcase.

The second visit was with a party of 7. After waiting an hour and a half for our food, we complained quietly in the rear of the restaurant to her directly. Instead of an apology, a discounted round of drinks, or any normal reaction, she flipped and told us the food would be out as soon as she could get it out, and if we didn't like that solution, we could leave(!?) We left.    [13 Nov 2000 11:54:48]

Big City Standards!!
Alana's is not only amazing with the comfortable ambiance and funky atmosphere, the mix of flavors Alana brings to the table is orgasmic each time. This is the best restaurant in Columbus - indeed!
She never fails to amaze me with her unusual and fresh ingrediants, each dish comes with a recommended wine to accompany it. Such class.
The wait can be lengthy at times - but well worth every second. Great for a fancy occasion or for a casual evening - just being there makes you celebrate life!!    [11 Oct 2002 17:38:00]

WOW
We were driving cross country and stopped at Alana's on the recommendation of a local friend. What an amazing experience! Everything was wonderful, but most noteably, it was not just like every other good restaurant in the country - the combination of flavors was truly unique.    [18 Jul 2005 13:09:34]

Questionable
I'm not quite sure what all the fuss is about. This restaurant was quite musty and reminded me of a dinner at poor old Auntie's house. Our food was cold, and the flavors were quite disgusting. Our server was also a complete nutcase!    [07 Oct 2005 14:07:05]
