Alter (CLOSED)

Chef Brad Kilgore took his previous fine-dining experience and channeled it into the delicious, refined American cuisine you’ll find at Wynwood’s Alter. The stark, modern design complements the progressive menu, featuring the Kilgore’s much-raved-about soft egg with sea scallop espuma, chive, truffle pearls and Gruyère, as well as the slow-braised brisket, served with parsley-cream corn. First-time diners will benefit from Alter’s prix-fixe menu of five ($79) or seven courses ($95). While voracious eaters will want to splurge on the full chef’s experience, where $165 gets you nearly every single gourmet ingredient and add-on on the menu—from truffles to caviar to uni.
