Alder & Oak

I came here for lunch on a Saturday and it was delicious! I honestly didn’t even know this place was opened yet, but I'm glad I saw that it was! It's so cute and truly does give Mediterranean vibes. First of all, our waitress/server Kim was a treasure!!!!! She is the sweetest thing and was so fun. She gave great recommendations and has the best personality. She honestly made our experience at Alder&Oak more fun. The lunch menu I found online on their website did not match the menu I was given, so that was disappointing, but it's okay. The A&O Mezze Board was delicious- may have been the best Tzaziki I've ever had. The hummus was also so good! For my main, I had the Chicken Souvlaki. I don't know that I would get it again because it was kind of dry and too chewy, but the flavor over all

Highly enjoyable first outing - beverages and appetizers only for this journey, but I cannot wait to return. Shout out to our fabulous server, Savana!

Food and atmosphere were wonderful. Only thing that made it better was the service by Devin. He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. We really appreciated his banter.

So, I tried this place on Valentines Day. The atmosphere and vibes were awesome. I have to come back at night so I can sit on the rooftop area. The food was great especially the lamb shank and the hummus. The drinks were not all that great but I would come back.

After much anticipation, I was finally able to sit down for dinner at Alder & Oak, and my final report is that I will in fact be back again and again. The design concept is absolutely unique, and adds a new and exciting restaurant style to the Riverside area that will only get better as the weather warms up. We sat at an inside table but will definitely be checking out the rooftop bar for pre and post-dinner drinks next visit. For our first time, we stuck with the basics - pizza and pasta. And cocktails, of course. We started with the Wild Thyme and Dill-usional cocktails. Both of these were served in martini glasses (perfect to me). Of the two, the dill cocktail absolutely stole the show. Such a unique concept with dill and cucumber flavors, topped with black pepper, and not too overpowe
