    I really enjoyed the Alderman. The food was delicious and the portions were plentiful. The NY vibe/ambiance definitely contributed to the experience. My one gripe is their policy toward the price fix menu. Everyone in the party must order it or no one can order it. That annoyed me because it is clearly a way to force diners to order more. My friend wanted the price fix and I wanted a la carte simply because the main course I wanted was not available on the PF menu. We were told no and therefore, had to order the bread and salad a la carte when those items were part of the PF menu. Aside from that, I would return in the future but it won't be my first choice.

    We both very much enjoyed the seabass, which was crispy and juicy, with a delicious topping. We also sides of creamed spinach and mushrooms that were excellent. The decor is very appealing, and the service was friendly and efficient.

    Amazing food. Literally everything we had, the duck appetizer, the wedge salad and the salmon and New York strip was incredible. The portions are big (the steak was 12 oz) and our server, Julio was outstanding as well. Loved everything about this place and it wasn't over crowded at all. Would highly recommend this place.

    We made our reservation for what seemed to be the dining room. When we arrived, they sat us in the hotel lobby. After a $250 check, we had to chase down the waiter to even pay our bill.
