Chef Keith Corbin is the head of all things culinary at Alta Adams. The opening of Alta Adams marks the return of the chef, a Los Angeles native, to his hometown.
The cuisine at the restaurant, such as this skillet fried chicken for $22, is deeply rooted in Corbin’s background. The vibrant dishes showcase the chef’s unique interpretation of West African-California soul food and also incorporates the Southern flavors he grew up eating and preparing by his grandmother’s side.

A snack available on the menu are deviled eggs, which cost $6.

Adams Coffee Shop, Alta Group’s first independent coffee shop, is located adjacent to Alta Adams.
The concept took inspiration from the role the coffee shop plays in American culture as a meeting place for all. In a similar vein, Adams Coffee Shop is meant to be a casual spot for locals to gather throughout the day.
The coffee shop serves drip coffee, espresso beverages and cold-pressed juices as well as housemade pastries.
Adams Coffee Shop also offers an all-day menu of American-style eats such as a grilled meatloaf sandwich with Monterey Jack cheese and mushrooms for $9.
