    The 5p seating with the theater prex fixe was spot on! The burrata and endive salad were very well done, and the chicken and steak were perfect. Well timed, good value, professional service - and we were check closed and exiting the restaurant at 630, in perfect time to walk to our show. Definitely recommend (and I’m hard to please).

    There were a total of 6 people attending to our table and yet we still had to ask for forks once our entrees arrived since they had cleared the table after the appetizers. Not a big deal but we had to wait and ask for the cutlery. The food was okay but all the mains didn’t come with sides so those had to be ordered separately. This meant that the average price for each main + side ended up being around $40-$45, which is pretty steep for lunch. The best thing we had were the Parker House rolls with the garlic butter.

    Hello Pauline, We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations during your time at The Alderman NYC. We have reached out to you privately to see how we can make things right. We truly hope you will give us another chance to demonstrate our commitment to hospitality. We look forward to speaking with you further. Regards, The Alderman Management Team

    Had tickets to the Rockettes that evening so this was a great nearby spot to have dinner. Helpful to tell server when you need to leave by. Had a very enjoyable time. Parker House rolls to start with are a must, the garlic butter accompanying it was delicious. Lamb sausage appetizer, which was just one piece of sausage, was very tasty as well. As for meals, the skirt steak was probably the best I've ever had. Cooked exactly the way I asked for which was rare. Chicken Sando was very good as well and fries were tasty. The restaurant is not big and can get a bit loud at times but the meal was very good. Bottles of wine were very expensive. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert were warm and soft on top but burned on the bottom. Ask for a booth because some of the tables were way too small for 4 people.
