    Loved the ambience at theAlderman restaurant. Our servers were very considerate of our dining preferences. The timing of the meals courses was perfect. The menu selections were adequate for us pre-theater. Our food and wine exceeded expectations, the best meal of our 3 day visit to NYC. Would recommend for any occasion

    Our wonderful birthday celebration could not have been more delightful, made even better by Julio’s charming and considerate service. He was super attentive and efficient, a real pro with a personality that was endearing without being overwhelming. The food was plentiful and superb, the pre theater menu is a real plus. The room was warm and welcoming and we had a great night!
