"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."

"The only thing I hate is the line out the door to get a drink with only one door, so if you wait inside you cannot get out or if you wait outside, someone is blocking the door to get your order, which is a fire hazard. There needs to be a second door.Also, I miss the drink card, I buy a minimum of 3 at a time for myself family and I guess they no longer offer it? I'd love a VIP option, since it adds up quickly I love to tip 20-25% per drink.I love the Earl Grey Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly which is a beautiful flavor profile or the #3 Lemon Green Tea with crushed ice. So delicious and refreshing all year round.Today, I tried the cherry slush which is nice, not like the gross overly sweet kind you get at QT. The Passion lychee rainbow pop boba is fun, but I've had so many in the hot Atlanta summers, I've burnt myself out on them.Parking: Parking sucks in evenings and weekends, so beware."

"My daughter and I discovered this charming little restaurant for lunch thanks to our ophthalmologist's recommendation, and it was a delightful experience! We both ordered the lamb plate, which was absolutely delicious, complemented by sides of hummus, baba ganoush, and chopped salad. The bread was perfect as well. The service was excellent, and we could see that other diners were also well taken care of while we enjoyed our lunch. Taking a chance on a small, lesser-known restaurant can be a gamble, but this time it paid off completely. This is definitely a place worth visiting if you find yourself in the area!"

"Came for my wife’s birthday and we couldn’t have picked a better place! From the hostess to the waiter, they ensured to acknowledge my wife and her birthday. The way they personalized the experience was a nice touch. We had David as our server and he was top shelf! Super knowledgeable about the menu. You can see that he pours himself into his job. The timing of the appetizer, salad, main course, and dessert was perfect. It’s like they knew when you wanted your next course without even having to tell them. The service staff is overly attentive. There’s a couple of guys constantly walking by to take your dishes and replace your silverware. The upper level where we sat is tight seating and staff running by your table all the time. Even still, they don’t bombard you with status checks. They let you have your space and are careful to read the table before checking in on you. Because we’re foodies, we wanted to try a bit of everything. First you must get the bread service. The bread was delightful. Nice crust on the outside. Warm and soft on the inside. 3 spreads come with it. Sweet, savory, and a ricotta spread Appetizer Wagyu ribs with worcestershire and chimichurri Wedge salad Organic iceberg, marinated vidalias tomatoes buttermilk ranch, bacon, french blue, egg 8oz A5 Kobe steak. Cooked to perfection Lobster spaghetti with tomato pomodori, basil For dessert you have to try the Baked Alaska which is chocolate hazelnut cake, espresso ice cream, meringue The birthday girl got her own dessert. A chocolate swirl cake. Overall, this visit was incredible. We can’t wait to go back!"
