Came for a group dinner with 14 people. I was really watching the bill. The staff got all our main courses out together and hot, which was a relief. For a place this busy, that&#39;s a win. The total per person ended up being very reasonable for the portion sizes we got. No complaints on the value.

I was here for their whiskey selection and wasn&#39;t disappointed. Prices are solid for the variety they offer. The bar&#39;s classic feel is a nice touch.

Nice sunny spot on the patio. Nachos are huge and loaded with cheese, good for sharing.

Love this place for a chill night. The board game wall is huge, we spent hours playing Catan. Staff was cool about us hanging out. Solid beer list too, found a couple new local IPAs.

Server knew the menu inside out. Suggested the pork belly special, and it was spot on. They kept checking on us without being overbearing. Good to see a place that still gets service right.

Came for a birthday dinner with a big group. The cocktails were creative and tasty, but honestly, the bill added up fast. The dessert cart was impressive, though. Not an everyday spot for my budget.

Perfect spot to catch the game. Big screens and a good vibe, not too loud.

They open early for Premier League matches, which is key. The vibe is energetic but not too loud, so you can actually hear your friends. Good spot if you&#39;re just there for the game.

Server was very attentive and even offered to take photos for us on the balcony. A nice touch.

The holiday decor was beautiful, really cozy and festive. But honestly, the portions felt a bit small for the price. My main course was lovely, but I left still thinking about the value.

The beer flight&#39;s got a nice variety, all fresh. Food&#39;s solid too, those Reuben egg rolls are a must.

While The Alderman may be on the pricier side, the quality of the drinks and the personalized service make it worth every penny. It&#39;s a must-visit for cocktail enthusiasts!

The staff was really friendly and attentive. Our server gave some great recommendations and was very patient with our group, which made the whole evening feel relaxed.

The bartender was so chill and really knew his stuff. Let me try a couple of the local IPAs before I picked one. That little gesture made all the difference.

I love that the bartenders here really listen. I asked for a dealer&#39;s choice, something with mezcal, and they made a drink just for me. You can tell they care about the ingredients and balance. It felt very thoughtful.

The food was fine, but I really came for the drinks. Their wine list is impressive, and it&#39;s such a calm spot to unwind with a glass before heading to the gate. The atmosphere is just right for that.

The food here really stands out. You can taste the care in the ingredients, everything felt so fresh. The grilled chicken salad was a perfect light option, crisp greens and a bright vinaigrette. It&rsquo;s clear they put a lot of thought into the menu.

Been here a few times. Staff is always friendly, no fuss. Had a big group last night, they handled it smoothly. Food came out quick, didn&#39;t feel rushed. Solid spot for a group dinner.

The hibiscus drink was so refreshing, a perfect balance of sweet and tart. The wings were crispy outside, juicy inside. Just wish the TVs weren&#39;t quite so loud during the game.

Staff were super friendly. We asked if we could see the band better, and they actually moved us to a better table. That was nice of them.
