   Food is average. We only love the Beef Carpaccio and the Coconut Cream Pie. Cocktails are on the sweeter side. Least favourite among Alo brands. Nice Service

   Lively ambience given the location in The Ace hotel. Not a quiet spot if that is your vibe. Excellent decor and styling. The staff were wonderful and the food is excellent, however it is grossly overpriced, especially the wood-fired proteins and sides. Individual proteins for >$50 with no accompaniments, and then $20+ side dishes is rather ludicrous. So while it shines in many places, don’t go here if you’re cheap or on a budget - expect to pay $150/person on average. The grilled halloumi is a must.

   The experience at Alder was absolutely top notch. From the first hello to the bill, the hospitality was absolutely splendid. We ordered their Butcher's Block, which was a 45-day aged Ribeye that was cooked to perfection. It was topped with a chanterelle mushroom and beef jus. We had the beef carpaccio, the cucumber salad, the bread and butter, and the pear and burrata. The beef carpaccio was a harmonious plate. There was an aioli underneath (seeded mustard, I believe), olives were cutting through beautifully and the fried shallots were the perfect complimentary texture. The cucumber salad was also delicious. If you like the taste of dill, you'll enjoy this; the combination of feta and dill were just the right balance. We enjoyed this a lot; enough that we started looking up recipes to see how we could make this at home. The bread and butter is this fluffy milk-bun. Very similar to the ones you get at Aloette. The butter was whipped and light. Absolutely beautiful compliment to the salads we had. The asian pear and burrata was topped with a mint garnish that was very delicate. There was some kind of balsamic that was very sweet and complimented the cheese very well. Desert was a coconut cream pie. This came with shavings of white and milk chocolate and toasted coconut flakes. We absolutely loved topping off our entire meal with this desert. It was light, the crust was the right amount of salty, and I loved picking away at the shaved chocolate. This was enough to share for two. Our server was the friendliest and most down to earth. She made the best recommendations and we left beyond satisfied. I'll be back for sure!
