Named for Thomas "Alva" Edison, the bared light bulbs say it all. Attracts a chic, hip and interesting crowd, sometimes a la black vinyl. Happening small bar with ceiling fans in the front, and cool, funky and dark in the back, with some comfortable booths. The food is fabulous and so is the wine list, ambiance and service. The California-type menu is unique and tasty, with lots of interesting polentas, combos and flavors, and great presentation. Try the wonderful beet and goat cheese salad or the Alva veal stew.
