"The watermelon salad was uniquely delightful, unlike anything I've ever tasted before. The sea scallop dish quickly became one of my favorites, which is impressive since I'm generally not fond of scallops. The carbonara was enjoyable but could easily be swapped for another option. The red snapper was delicious and had a good portion size. However, I was quite disappointed with the rack of lamb; it appeared to need more cooking and was a bit too rare, which unfortunately made me feel unwell afterward. This affected my enjoyment of the last two desserts—the lemon olive cake and the lunar chocolate. Overall, I believe the menu could benefit from better curation. My main concerns were the undercooked lamb and the generous portion sizes that made it challenging to fully appreciate the experience. I enjoyed my time at the Alden, but I think the waitstaff could use additional training regarding the dishes. If I return, I’ll likely opt for the à la carte menu instead."

"This restaurant only offers takeout. The description on Google Maps is misleading; they have constructed a wall that blocks access to the seating area and restrooms. Essentially, it's a dual storefront, but there’s only one entrance. As a result, during busy times, you might find yourself waiting outside for your order or even to place it. Given that it’s solely a takeout option, the prices are on the high side. I recommend taking your business elsewhere."

"Cafe Sababa Mediterranean Grill is exceptional. The restaurant is spotless, and the Mediterranean dishes are freshly prepared to order. It’s not upscale, but you’ll be glad you decided to eat here. I tried the Chicken Souvlaki, which was fantastic. For my side, I chose the fries—they were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Though they resemble standard ballpark fries, they’re much better—more like Burger King fries rather than McDonald’s. Truly excellent. The ambiance is a little worn, but it feels like a cozy, inviting hidden gem. It’s not dirty, just a bit outdated, which actually adds to its charm. I will definitely be back!"

"Having visited here a few times now I can say they are consistent with their delicious dishes and customer service. This is a restaurant serving Asian food that also brews their own beer in the back. The food is fantastic, the bowls are filled with ingredients that make each bite unique and full of different textures and flavors. The Miso Ramen was hearty and the pork belly was perfect, I would have liked some more spice which I'm sure I could have asked for. The other ingredients like the Nori, onions, carrots and egg were great additions! They have a wide variety of beers that range from the more available IPA's to unique specialty beers. The staff has always been amazing and the interior is beautiful and light. Yes they can get busy and there can be a wait."
