Alden Park

I was glad to be able to finally try this place as I am always too early or just forget to stop by, but I was finally able and happy that I did. My wife and I stopped in for lunch and we were pleasantly greeted right away and seated. I was very impressed by how clean everywhere was and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and it felt modern and upscale.

Our waiter was also very pleasant, personable and attentive. We placed our orders for our drinks and lunch and the drinks and started off with a salad each, I had the Cesar salad and my wife hat a house salad. my salad was very fresh and it had a very good dressing that coated everything perfectly.

So for our main dishes my wife ordered the pecan crusted chicken with bacon cheese mashed potato and I had a Rubin with fries.
Our meals came out in a decent time and were nice and hot, my Rubin was packed with meat and Sauerkraut, the fries were excellent and not over salted. I also liked that my sandwich wasn't overloaded with sauce, it was just the right amount. My wife's pecan chicken was incredible and the flavors were great. The bacon and cheese mashed potatoes were not skimping on either with every bite full of flavor.

So if the lunch is this good I cannot wait to try their dinner menu!!!

I had a really nice night out with my friend. we were eating had had a conversation with a super friendly kid named Dylan who was bussing. I don't think I've met a nicer person

The 2 stars are for the ambiance and the hostess. The waitress and the food were both duds. Just got drinks and dessert, but the dessert was probably the worst I've ever had. The waitress was totally disinterested and unfriendly. Won't be returning.

A friend and I had lunch here the other day on a quiet Monday - sat in, no take out, and it was great! We hadn't been to Alden Park in a long while and we were so glad we went here!

A grilled Caesar salad was delicious- delicious dressing, delicious chicken - and big enough to eat half, and take home half, if you ordered appetizers as we did.

A special appetizer that day of "mahi sticks" I think they were called, was such a surprise, like fish sticks for grownups . . . SO GOOD! Whoever invented these? Kudos to you! I'd eat those panko-crusted fingers every day given the chance! The clam chowder, as always - very good!

All in all, the value was fair, the excellent customer service from the welcoming staff was so nice to experience, and food was A+. Take a break from shopping at Colony Place, or just go for lunch or dinner. With plenty of free parking there's no excuse not to be a new customer or revisit an old favorite like we did!

Cranberry Bog Martini came highly recommended. The Cranberry Bog Martini is now highly recommended.

It was noon time and my stomach was screaming for lunch. This is my first visit to Alden Park restaurant, before I went in I made sure that they had pescatarian dishes and they had quite a few great options for pescatarian and vegetarian so I decided to have lunch. I walked inside the restaurant and a wonderful friendly gentleman greeted me. He asked if I wanted to be seated inside or outside and since it was a beautiful 73 degrees outside I decided to sit outside. I told him that before I sit outside I first have to go to the ladies room so he gave me directions. Once I entered the ladies room I was shocked how amazing it was. It was extremely clean and neatly organized. They even had cute little paper towels folded up next to the sink with the A printed on them for Alden. The bathroom was magnificently exquisite.

When I was done in the bathroom I went out to the front where the gentleman was and he was busy on the phone with a customer. A waitress that failed to give me her name walked over to me and asked if she could help me and I told her that I'm going to have lunch and I would like to be seated outside.

The waitress seated me and handed me 2 menus. Let me just say that I do not like to try new and different things, because I have a fear that I won't like it, but how will I know if I do not try something new. I was undecided between 3 dishes. The Salmon Burger, The Vegetable Stir Fry and the Cod Reuben. I decided on the Cod Reuben with the choice of house made sweet potato chips.

My wait was about 15 minutes and the waitress came out with my food. I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation of my meal. It looked fantastic, like a magnificent piece of art that belongs in an art gallery!

As I was sitting alone wishing that I had company to have lunch with an unwelcome visitor came over to me while I was eating. I did not invite this pest nor was it going to get any of my delicious Cod Reuben containing fried cod, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing on marble rye bread. There was certainly no way the pest was going to get any of my absolutely delicious house made sweet potato chips that had a sugary and cinnamon taste. The fly was such a nuisance and an irritant that I almost took my lunch and went inside. That's how delicious it was and I was not going to share it.

When the waitress came over with my check and a box to pack up the rest of my lunch I told her that I'm not the type of person to try new things, but this Cod Reuben and the sweet potato chips are delicious and I told her to give my compliments to the chef.

I will most definitely be back to visit Alden Park restaurant as the atmosphere is great, the food is breathtaking and the bathrooms are exquisite, the only thing that I need to avoid is that fly!

Suggestions
The waitress should always give her name to her customers.
Please add sweet potato fries to your menu.

Fantastic food and wonderful waitstaff. Try the fried avacado. Soooo good! Wonderful drinks as well!

Late lunch, 2:00 on a beautiful Saturday, plenty of seating.

SERVICE: Hanna was excellent. We were outside, and the doors between the restaurant and patio take a good push to open, but that did not deter her service level. She was attentive, friendly, checked on us and ensured our waters were replenished.

ATMOSPHERE: Outside in the back is patio seating with a large fountain and casual seating for just drinks also. Nicely decorated.

FOOD: OK. The chicken salad wrap, fries and salmon were lacking flavor. The chicken tasted a bit dry/freezer burned like and the salmon could have been cooked a bit more.

Definitely order the Migrant Martini

Pairs well with The Beaumont Burger and Southern Border Bread Basket

Some get it with bacon

Some do not

The service here was excellent. Everyone was friendly and quick. The cocktails were equally great. They were tasty, presented very well, and they were big and strong. If I just came in for cocktails, this would be a five-star review.

Unfortunately the food let me down. There was nothing wrong with it, but nothing special either. I got the steak frites with truffle fries. The fries were OK, but the steak was simply boring. It was cooked properly and the cut seemed to be decent quality, but it was one of the more flavorless steaks I've ever had. Maybe if you don't get a steak you'll have a better experience than I did.
