    Our experience at Alto was truly unforgettable. The setting alone was exceptional. We watched the sun melt into a deep red horizon, followed by the soft glow of city lights and the breathtaking rise of a red moon. It felt like a magical evening, at the city's highest point! The tapas were great, with the brisket stealing the show, and the berry tart desserts were the perfect finishing touch to a beautiful evening. The service made the experience even more special. From start to finish, Tshepo and Thembi were incredible. A heartfelt thank‑you to the Alto team for an experience that will stay with me and the team for a long time.
