   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.

   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.

   For the first time in a long time, our return to a restaurant we have eaten at and enjoyed in the past, was even better than the last time ! Dreamt about the focaccia last night !

   I came here with a group of six for brunch. Though the experience is advertised as family style, we correctly guessed that some of the brunch dishes (like a sandwich!) would be hard to share, so we each got our own dish and then some plates to share (donuts, cinnamon bun). Expect staggered arrival times for your food. The food was served hot and delicious and the service was polite and friendly. I will definitely come here for brunch again.

   The food was very good. The waitress guided us through the menu wonderfully. I would ask that the music be turned down a lot. It was very hard to hear each other. But that's an easy fix.

    My husband and I had such a lovely time celebrating our 11th anniversary at Alden and Harlow. Our server was great and we were so delighted when he brought champagne, it made it a super special night out. The atmosphere was really nice, there was a feeling of good energy (but not too loud). I loved the roasted Brussels sprouts (done with a tasty different flair than what I usually expect) and we loved the corn pancakes! They were so fun with popcorn and also delicious. My husband was still talking about the bluefin dish later. We so appreciated the excellent hospitality and really enjoyed our experience. Perfect place to go right before a show at the Sinclair.
