Alder is a laid-back bar restaurant located in a downtown hotel, offering a unique atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time. The friendly staff, including attentive waiters, provide good service. While the food can be hit or miss, sticking to classics like the breakfast burrito, NY steak and fries, deviled eggs, and truffle Parmesan fries is recommended. Many recent visitors have praised the burger, which was described as unreal, cooked perfectly with melty cheese and crispy edges, and the Korean fried chicken, known for its spicy and addictive flavor. The bar serves creative cocktails, and the ambiance, music, and vibe are generally excellent, making it a classy spot for dates. Some reviews mention that the dining experience can feel odd when the restaurant is quiet, especially during peak times. Although parking can be a challenge on busy days, there are parking garages nearby. With its perfect location, Alder is a great spot to grab a drink or meal, enjoy the cozy atmosphere, and experience attentive service, especially for travelers arriving from flights.
