    Went there for a Sunday brunch and the food was very underwhelming for a Michelin star restaurant. Ordered the Eggs benedict and the hollandaise sauce was probably the worst I've tried in my life. My friend said we should have just gone to Eggspectation instead and I agree. Alder was not worth the price. The customer service was also sub par.

    Alder was decent but nothing spectacular. I was hoping for more from a Michelin Guide brunch spot. Limited menu with limited footfall - made it a bit underwhelming for a Saturday brunch especially given the price. But the food was good and the ambience due to the modern design of Ace Hotel was something nice. Order the cucumber salad and parfait!

    Hi Mrrinali, We genuinely appreciate your feedback related to some of the dishes and are glad that the overall experience was positive. We look forward to hosting you again.

    Food was divine. The cabbage especially blew us away - who knew you could make cabbage taste that good?! The service was also completely stand out. Loved this place, we will definitely be back!

    My partner at dinner had a severe seafood allergy and everyone from start to finish was so accommodating for us and was able to make our dining experience stress free. The duck breast was literally the most insane thing. I would recommend 100 times over
