It was not by chance we chose to eat at this restaurant. We travel to Vegas each year and have at least 1 or 2 of our nightly dinners here. Why? Well sure, the food is amazing, but cannot be outdone by the best server ever, Andrya. She is fun, friendly and makes your experience memorable each time. Shout out to bartender Ari. He too provides an exceptional bar experience and makes one hell of a Negroni! read more

First time we went to Alder and Birch it was a great experience Andrea our waitress was wonderful. She made some suggestions for my husband and I and my son who is visiting from Florida. We had lobster tail and the porterhouse steak, which was awesome . I had the short rib with mashed potatoes great food . I will give the restaurant five stars for excellence all around. read more

Went to dinner here last night. I really hate to leave bad reviews of any business, but this is an exception. First of all, the service was slow and poor. I ordered the corn and crab bisque as an appetizer. Let me start by saying I have cooked all of my life and I am now 68 years old. The best was nothing more than cream style corn with a few flex of crab thrown in. Honest to God. Horrible. My so-called surf and turf was a petite filet and a couple of pieces of call me. I should've returned everything, but I didn't. The surf and turf was advertised as a lobster tail ! This is my second visit within the last month, and I doubt if I will be returning . The service was horrible last time as well. They supposedly have a new chef,, but they have work to be done in every aspect. read more

It was New Year's Eve, and our first time dining here, primarily to eat well but also to be where "Avatar: Fire & Ash" was playing in the Orleans movie theater, to view the 3 hr. 18 min. film into and beyond the midnight hour after first eating and engaging in some slot play inside the casino. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. A mobile Bread Basket came around with fine Sourdough, Parmesan Lavosh, and White Chocolate Walnut Bread. Then we enjoyed a Shrimp Cocktail with colossal sweet and meaty shrimp, plus tasty Rock Shrimp Tempura with Sweet & Spicy Chili Sauce. And I had a hot and cheesy Onion Soup with Gruyere Cheese and Sherry, and an attractive-looking ABCD Wedge Salad with Pickled Red Onions, Crumbled Danish Blue Cheese, Danish Blue Cheese Dressing, and Thick Cut Smoked Bacon. Diane and I both ordered Surf and Turf, which consisted of 8 oz. Filets and 10 oz. Cold Water Australian Lobster Tails. The Filets were especially delicious, except they arrived at our booth cold, with the lobster cool. Our entrees were removed for further heating, and soon came back hot and with my Filet still medium rare as I desired. Bearnaise Sauce and Demi-Glace Red Wine Sauce enhanced the taste of my steak, and the Wild Mushroom Gratinee and crunchy Duck Fat Fries just added to a great repast. To top off a fine meal I indulged in a generous slice of New York Style Cheesecake served with Strawberry Sauce and accompanied by Strawberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries. We will most assuredly be back! XXXX-1/2 stars overall!! read more

Come here for the steak and service!! :) Alder & Birch had been on my mental eating list for yearssss and I finally made it!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon entering the double glass doors (love that the restaurant is closed off from the rest of the hotel), we were politely greeted by the sweet hostess![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drew took care of us for the night and was a pleasure! I think he can have a side gig as a comedian! ;) My husband got the ribeye special for the night that was cooked beautifully as a medium rare!!! I ordered the Chilean sea bass and made the wrong choice...womp womp! I should have gone with the steak or tried the prime rib. The sea bass wasn't that flavorful and wasn't the thick, buttery Chilean sea bass I was expecting. The tummy tastes and learns...all good. The wagyu beef meatballs, duck fat fries, lavash from the bread tray, and lemon tart stood out for me!! Wagyu beef meatballs: Fillling and delicious with the bread toasted in oil! Duck fat fries: Say no more!! Once you go with duck fat, no other fry compares to the crispness! Lavash: This is more like a lavish cracker with a slight cheddar cheese flavor to it. Fun to munch on! Reminded me of a thin cheeze-it, heehee! Lemon tart: The lemon half made of white chocolate is amazing as it looks and feels so real!! The tart crust was so buttery and crisp, and for those who like lemon desserts, the lemon flavor was strong with this one (in a good way)! Take a bite with a little bit of everything on the plate and it is yum, yum, yummm!! Oh, and how I can I forget the Old Fashioned's Father cocktail!! A fun twist on traditional old fashioneds! The Pernod liqueur in it made it a good palate cleanser between courses! Alder & Birch, thank you for the great service and delicious food! I got to come back for the ribeye! :p read more

My friend and I walked in on a Saturday and ate dinner at the bar, no waiting. The mushrooms were my favorite, but it was all tasty. We shared a bottle of wine, nice selections at a decent price. The service was friendly and the bartender was engaging, although busy as he serves the entire bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Luckily the smoke of the casino does NOT waft in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would go again when in Vegas. Orleans is off the strip, but this place is still pricey $200+ for 2 of us. read more

Great experience at the Orleans. Starting off with your meal with a bread basket this basket is enormous with variety of different bread that you can try and it's unlimited so indulge. Try all of them get multiple ones. Take some to go. Next, the sides definitely recommend the duck fat french fries they were the biggest hit across everyone we were sitting by we tried the Gouda mac & cheese wasn't really my thing, but it wasn't a bad dish would definitely want to try the blue cheese, scallop potatoes, or the enormous baked potato loaded. We had two different cuts of steak 16 ounce New York strip was amazing. I'm more of a medium steak person, but the medium came across more medium rare but still it was delicious. Try it paired with the Madagascar peppercorn sauce and you can't go wrong. we also had the 8 ounce fillet, which was amazing but would pass on any sauce mixed with this cut of steak. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is very romantic, quiet and very intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers were amazing always made sure we were looked after. Pricing is a typical steakhouse, but the ounces of steak that you get definitely make it worth your while. read more

Went here a yr ago & thought it was the most amazing enough my bro wanted to come back for the holidays. This was not even close to last experience. They didn't have the bottle of wine on the short list 1st, then the wedge salad didn't have the glaze that made the salad instead brought me a vinaigrette terrible. The steak came out well when I asked for medium rare & had to ask for it to be redone. King crab seemed like it was done for a while, not warm & butter was sitting out. The waiter Greg was nice, but the bus boy was trying harder. No accommodations after many issues. I was trying to take my son out for an amazing new years dinner Dec 30th. Terrible. read more

After a 9-10 hour drive from Long Beach to Las Vegas (traffic due to spilled chemical on the 15 in July), I was starving! My friend, who lives there, took me out to dinner here, after I dropped off everything in the hotel room, to make me feel better and celebrate my bday! Awww! What a special treat! We were the last customers in because it was past 8:30 and I think they were closing soon. I'm so grateful for you guys! Amazing service with a smile! Food was amazing! The ambiance was romantic and classy and I will definitely be back someday! So the pictures are out of order but we started off with: - Some bread, butter and I asked for olive oil and vinegar and black pepper (that mix is the best!) - A mixed salad with ranch - Then the crab bisque? Omg! So yummy! My friend got full! - The steak was bomb! I got it medium rare...but it's ok to get medium. The scalloped blue cheese potatoes were amazing too! Definitely need to mix it in because it's strong so eat with the steak. - The drinks were yummy! I forgot what I got but so refreshing and hit the spot. - Then the DESSERT! Omg! How can you not have dessert? They brought it out for my bday without charge! Thank you so so much! The trip already was much better and I forgot all about the traffic coming up here for my business event and training! You guys make this my favorite restaurant in Vegas! Love you guys! read more

We stayed at the Orleans last week for some basketball tournaments and decided to try this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised on how upscale the restaurant was, the servers were very attentive and the food was pretty fantastic!! I only gave four stars because of the appetizer I don't even know what the name of it was, but it had oysters, clams, crab, shrimp and lobster I believe. I personally thought that would've been fantastic hot rather than cold could've just put the cold oysters/(shrimp too) on ice in a bowl on one side since it was only two of each of them. Each bite I just kept thinking "Golly, why is this not a hot appetizer?" Don't get me wrong It was good, I just think hot it would've been great. And call it the icy hot lol! The steak almost melted in my mouth. The crab cakes reminded me of Maryland so meaty, thick and filling. The spinach was tasty. I tried all four of their breads and an extra glass of wine to wash it all down. I personally was too full for desserts so I can't comment on them, but if they're like diner you should definitely dabble! read more

Located in The Orleans hotel & casino not too far from hotel registration. We did t eat here however my husband frequented the bar for his old fashioneds.

Solid 4 Stars. Our server was Michael, and he was professional and nice. Beautiful ambiance and good for large parties. Food: Rib Eye Steak Asparagus Baked Potato Lamb Chops Short Rib House Chopped Salad Tempura Rock Shrimp The steaks and lamb were cooked perfectly. Asparagus was an added touch. The least favorite was the creme brulee and baked potato, but my favorite, in which I returned the next day to eat this dish again, was the Tempura Rock Shrimp. On my 2nd visit, I ordered a House Chopped Salad and that was awful. I had to return it because it was overdressed. Overall, the service was good and the food was delcious. I would definitely return again. read more

I came to this restaurant last summer to meet my mom for dinner prior to going to the Usher concert. Since that visit, I have dreamed about the next time I would be in Vegas so I could dine here again and order the DELICIOUS mushroom side. Well, I'm back for Superbowl and made sure I had reservation at Alder & Birch so I could order the Wild Mushroom Gratine. In addition to the side, I ordered the rack of lamb, truffle Mac and, Alaskan King crab. Everything was so good! Big props to our server, Drew, that provided excellent service and recommended the mac. read more

First, let me say I really want to go back and eat here again. Even though it wasn't a 5-star experience, I enjoyed it very much and I think it could be 5 stars! We were early for our table so the hostess suggested we sit at the bar. Mind you the table that we were sat at, I could see from the bar and it was empty and set when we sat down at the bar so I'm not sure why they wouldn't seat us early. The bar tender seemed so sad. I really hope it was just an off day for him. But we weren't greeted when we sat. We had to ask for a menu after sitting for about 5 minutes. We definitely weren't made to feel welcomed :( We ordered the Raspberry lemon martini. It was so good, but dangerous because you could barely taste any alcohol but it was strong. We were told we had to pay our tab before sitting at the table. We asked to have the tab billed to the table. The bar tender acted like this was a strange request. We explained we were paying with points. After some discussion with the manager they said no problem. After sitting it was about 10 minutes before the bus boy came to fill the water and another 5 before they offered us some cold bread. When our waiter came we explained we had only an hour to eat because we were going to a concert and asked how backed up the kitchen was in case we needed to modify our orders to ensure we got out on time. The waiter was friendly but never asked us if we had been there before, if we wanted any suggestions or mentioned any specials. We ordered the beet salad (excellent), the crab soup (eh, tasted and smelled fishy), French onion soup (delish) and a Cesar salad (very good and the Parmesan crisp was an amazing touch). Sorry I forgot to take pics of the apps because my friend spilt her almost full martini all over the table and floor. The waiter did replace it on the house which was very nice, but not necessary. We were appreciative though. I had the scallops and my friend had the filet and we got the mashed potato's as a side. The scallops were perfectly cooked. I loved the sauces. To me, it needed more seasoning to bring out the flavors. But I'd definitely order it again. My friend enjoyed her filet. She had it cooked medium well (yuck) so I didn't try it. She wasn't asked if she wanted a steak sauce when ordering. Later on she asked for it and they only offered A1 or Heinz 57, which I thought was strange since the other steak sauces they offer are usually yummy. Unfortunately we didn't have time for dessert because we had to get to the show. The waiter did offer to get us another drink to-go since it was a long walk to the venue. This was much appreciated. We paid with points and left a 25% tip. Again, there were just too many small things to give it 5 stars. However, I still really enjoyed it and want to go back when we are not rushed and try some other items. I will always get the best salad every time and I don't think I'd ever get the crab soup again. Just some constructive feedback in case anyone reads these reviews: - bartenders should always greet customers and make them feel welcomed. Unfortunately this didn't happen this time. - Identical drinks should be identical. One shouldn't have a toothpick with a lemon and no sugar rim and the other had no lemon and a sugar rim. - when seated, it would be nice to be welcomed shortly after. Sitting for 10 mins just looking around, needing refills, and just waiting is awkward. - please give recommendations or ask if we want recommendations. We came there expecting to spend a few hundred and ended up spending about half. If things were recommended or described, we probably would have gotten more. - I did mark on the reservation that it was my birthday. Nothing was ever acknowledged. That was kinda a bummer. I really do want to come back and see if the experience is the same or different. read more

One of the best steak houses I had in Vegas! Everything is magnificent! From the crab cake to the bone in ribeye and the lamb chops! If I'm being picky, the only downside are their sides.

We have being dining at The Orleans since they opened. Our favorite restaurant, Canal Street, closed years ago. We decided to try Alder & Birch for Valentine's Day. What a great choice we made-did not disappoint! We were even fortunate to have Andrya as our server. She had previously worked at Canal street. I did not even have to give her my specifics on how I wanted my steak or sides. She remembered I had the filet, delicious, and the Caesar salad. The dressing was probably the best I have had as well as the filet. My husband had the salmon and chopped salad and thoroughly enjoyed. My mom had the beef short ribs and they were so tender. The atmosphere is beautiful with a stunning fireplace. Highly recommend read more

We wanted to have a steak dinner on our last night in Vegas, and without a reservation, we were able to get in here at the last minute without a wait. It's located in The Orleans. I The ambience was cozy yet sophisticated. Service was great. Anytime our water was a 2/3 full, it was refilled. We started with the meatballs, marinara and toasted bread. I thought it was good, but nothing to write home about. For meals, I had the filet mignon and my husband had the prime rib. The filet mignon was perfectly tender and had great flavor. The prime rib was a good price and cooked as ordered, though slightly less flavorful. But my husband loved the portion size. For sides we got the mashed Boursin potatoes, which were delicious. We could have shared that between us as a single side. We hardly ate the French fries we ordered because they were too thick for my preference. I prefer a thinner, crispy fry. I would skip these. We spend $175 with tip. read more

We had another great meal here with our favorite server, Drew. He's very personable and always remembers us and welcomes us back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a great dining room with a fireplace and plenty of booths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The French onion soup was tasty. We ordered the prime rib mid rare and it came out perfectly. The sides are easily big enough for two or more ppl so we only ordered two which was still a lot of food for us, especially if you get an appetizer or first course. The bread and water service staff were very attentive. We usually go early evening after a movie and have never had a problem getting in asap without a reservation. Prices are reasonable as we were able to have dinner for two ( 2 soups, two prime rib, two sides, dessert, coffee and a bottle of red wine) for under $200 before tip. The staff here is always welcoming and is a big reason we keep returning. read more

Extremely underwhelming. Great service but absolutely no flavor on the steaks. My friend got the ribeye and I got the New York. We both take our first bites and just look at each other quietly. I say it first dos yours have any flavor? " none at all" the bread was delicious mushrooms were great but dare I say a Costco hot dog would blow my steak out of the water. For seeing such excellent reviews and a $275 tab never would I dare think of going here again. I make it a point to visit a different steakhouse every time I go to Vegas and this is by far the least desirable experience I've had. Handedly. read more

My first time at Alder & Birch. Andrea and Jerry were the best and the steaks were amazing. I will be back!

Once again, dining at Alder & Birch was a delight ! Our server Andrea was intuitive and asked us if we were here to see a show so she could ensure our dining experienced would be enjoyable and within the time allowed. She delivered beyond our expectations!!! The food was outstanding and Andrea was attentive and pleasantly engaging. Our busser Jomel, was equally courteous, pleasant and attentive! As long as the Orleans continue to offer quality entertainment, we will continue to dine at Alder & Birch and will encourage our family and friends to do so as well !!:) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]],and Drew is amazing waiter. The food is great. Make sure you check for when they are open.

This was a surprisingly good off strip steakhouse dining experience! Reservations are easily made on their website and are highly recommended. The interior is very impressive! High quality and contemporary decor. I particularly liked the dark wood finishes and the glass between booths for extra privacy. The server was fairly friendly but not quite up to the standard of a place of this caliber. No review of the menu, no overall welcome, and very limited follow-up. I had the Bramble cocktail which was quite delicious and strong. I had a glass of red wine later (I can't remember which one), and it was smooth and very tasty. For starters we had the shrimp cocktail and tempura rock shrimp. Both were excellent! The cocktail had fresh and sweet shrimp with no fishy or ocean taste. The tempura shrimp were perfectly breaded and not oily. We then shared a Caesar salad which we were bizarrely charged $5 to split. We have done this many times before at high end restaurants and never been charged a split fee before. Oh well. The salad itself was extremely tasty and fresh. I had the 7 oz filet mignon entree. It was tasty but honestly not the same fork tender as I've had at other top Vegas steakhouses. We tried a variety of sides which were fairly standard, but the grilled cream of corn was the standout. Delicious with a wonderful maple flavor that was not overpowering. It also had a slightly crunchy crust that was perfect. I had the banana rum cake dessert. A perfect size for one, it was moist and packed the perfect balance of rum and banana flavor. At the end of the meal we wanted to take some leftovers to go. The table busser plunked down some plastic containers and walked away. This was kind of tacky. Restaurants of this caliber typically whisk your leftovers away and return them bagged and packaged. Overall this was better than expected for an off strip high end steakhouse and is worth a visit! read more
