   We went for Easter Brunch and it was excellent. I love the atmosphere. We were right by where the food come out of the kitchen but it was fine. Unfortunately, we were told the burgers had been 86ed, and two of our 4 were there for them. I don 't know if they were saving some for dinner. The Black Pepper Biscuits and Gravy were awesome.

   Outdoor seating is so ratchet, no heat lamps despite what was advertised and an umbrella flew away. They need a tent or something. Food was also not great. Service forgot multiple items of ours (which we had to point out after 3/4 ppl ate their meals). Overall not a good experience.

   Delicious food, nice selection, and excellent service. One star off for ambience- very noisy, conversation mot easy. But we’ll definitely return,

   We really enjoyed the family style sharing of many different items. The dishes were all very flavorful and delicious. The ingredient combinations were unique, and they worked really well together. We had our three kids with us and they enjoyed trying everything too. Definitely would love to return for another wonderful meal. The service was very attentive and we thought the ambiance was chic and welcoming.

   The 4 of us had the most delicious brunch at Alden & Harlow and I’m already dreaming about going back! The flavors were incredible—creative, bold, and totally satisfying. Every bite felt like comfort food with a gourmet twist. The vibe was cozy but vibrant, with super friendly staff that made the whole experience even better. Alden & Harlow is hands-down one of the best brunch spots in Cambridge. 10/10 recommend if you're craving something special and seriously yummy!

    On a weekend night Alden and Harlow can overwhelm with the noise, especially in the large back room. On a Monday night with a seat against the wall, the din was festive and not oppressive. As always, the food delighted in its sheer deliciousness and originality.
