    went during restaurant week & i can truly say you will definitely get your moneys worth here. the starters & appetizers alone had gotten us full; the house rolls were simple but great, the herb salad was unexpectedly amazing, our ny strip steak was perfect, and the dessert was the cherry on top. rate 8/10 as for the service, its was a true 10/10; julio and lincoln were great. they were both very attentive, friendly, and gave excellent recommendations. from the food to the exceptional service to the nice ambience, i would definitely come back to the alderman

    The hostess was great and so was our server, Julio. He kept checking back with us to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious and the portions were a good size. I will dine there again next time I’m in the city.

    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!
