The Alden

I went to the Alden yesterday to meet some friends for lunch and we had the most amazing time. We have eaten at the Alden since it’s opening and the food is ALWAYS good!! They recently added Lunch 2 days a week with a well curated lunch menu with something for everyone( from Vegetarians to meat eaters). I had the Lobster Roll which would have satisfied any Maine resident it was fresh and ALL lobster meat no fillets. The wedge salad was delicious and because my friends and I are rarely off during the week we treated ourselves and I got a Hemingway Cocktail which was out of this world. Do yourself a favor next time you are going to lunch with friends or Perhaps taking a client out, go the Alden it is well worth it. I will definitely be back for lunch again!!

If you haven’t had a chance to experience this restaurant you should. Food: well balanced. Flavorful. Artistic. The menu changes quite frequently, which (imo) is decadent. We ordered 2 apps, 3 different entrees, 1 dessert and several alchy bevs. Apps: We ordered the Autumn Salad and Green Egg and Lamb Belly. Salad was a great mixture between savory and sweet. I’m usually not a fan of fruit in my salad but they did a good job of making sure the sweetness wasn’t too overwhelming and I enjoyed it. The green egg dish was basically a unique twist on a carbonara pasta. The past was made in house and it was perfectly al dente. The egg was a nice touch. Lamb was tender and well seasoned. The cheese, fresh mint and fresh basil was the chefs kiss. Loved that all the produce served with both dishes was locally sourced. Entrees: We ordered the Jerk Fla Red Snapper, Scallops Tom kha, and Chantel Wagyu. I believe all ingredients, including the meat, were locally sourced. The scallops were a wonderful balance between savory, creamy, spicy and a slight bit of bitterness. I personally ordered the scallops and I’m happy with my choice. The Wagyu was excellent. It was tender and so well balanced with fresh peppers and sauce. I’m not a steak person but this dish was my second favorite. The snapper was good and wasn’t over cooked. Flavor was light and the texture heavier. It was giving comfort food. You honestly can’t wrong with any dish. Dessert: Apple cobbler. It was a deconstructed apple cobbler. It was so beautiful I didn’t want to eat it lol. But I did and it was delicious! Drinks: we ordered wine, the thc drink, espresso, and a port wine. 10/10. Service: We had the pleasure of being served by Ross. He was lovely, friendly, and he has quite a talent at explaining the food. He was the chefs kiss to our entire dining experience.

Amazing! The food was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared. I loved the unique combination of ingredients like bitter melon, pickled cherries, and other staples of Asian cuisine. The presentation was beautiful, and the service was friendly and attentive. The chef even came out to check on us. This place is definitely so good, and I can’t wait to come back. I'm thrilled to have such a great spot so close to home! And we ordered more than this, but I forgot to take pictures.

I made a reservation for Chef’s Counter with the tasting menu for my partner’s birthday. It was such a fun experience. Ross was our main waiter and was amazing and warm. We had a myriad of people speak to us and check in on us which was so nice. The food was great! My favorite was a mushroom pasta dish followed by the Thai custard dessert. I was slightly disappointed in the Wagyu dish - I expected melt in your mouth tender and it was a bit on the tougher side. The chef came over at the end and wished my partner a happy birthday. They even brought out this pineapple sorbet with a candle, which was amazing, and a handwritten card. It is definitely an upscale place but the vibe is very unassuming. Nice without being stuffy. Overall it was such a fun experience and the food was great so 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing atmosphere and presentation. The food was an excellent experience of many different flavors combined in a unique way. Very delicious and one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Service was exceptional and friendly. Can’t wait to be back!

Came here with my family on one of my birthdays. The dishes were very creative and tasted good. The service was awesome. They checked on us a good handful of times. They even wrote me a hand written card for my birthday! I’ll never forget my experience there.

We LOVE this restaurant!! We cannot recommend it enough. The food is inventive and different but so good. Presentation is meticulous. The staff is all friendly and very knowledgeable. We feel it’s surprising we don’t hear more about this restaurant because it is just SO amazing. Better than many Atlanta restaurants and still so affordable and conveniently located. Cannot recommend it enough!!

I had an amazing experience at the Alden. I chose to do the 5 course tasting menu and my palate was in heaven. The way they mix flavors, colors & textures is truly special. I spent a little chunk of change but it was worth it. I even learned a few things and went to Whole Foods to try some new cheeses. Truly an experience.
