"The Alden comes from Atlanta native and chef Jared Hucks. The restaurant serves dishes on its dinner menu like Maine sea scallops, sweet breads, tortellini primavera, and lavender-baked chicken. But for something truly special, consider reserving a seven-course tasting menu with optional wine pairings at the chef’s counter." - Eater Staff
"The Alden is a splurge-worthy spot in Atlanta. The Michelin-recommended place comes from Atlanta native and chef Jared Hucks. The restaurant serves dishes on its dinner menu like Maine sea scallops, sweet breads, yellowfin tuna, and rack of lamb. But for something truly special, consider reserving a seven-course tasting menu with optional wine pairings at the chef’s counter. The restaurant also hosts cooking classes led by Hucks that showcase seasonal produce and demonstrations on how to use them." - Eater Staff

"While similar restaurants in Atlanta sporting fine dining chops wrapped in casual neighborhood vibes may capture the attention on social media, Atlanta native chef Jared Hucks is just out here doing his thing without fanfare. Before opening the Alden, Hucks previously worked in the kitchens at Guillaume at Bennelong at the Sydney Opera House, Baan Rim Pa Restaurant Group in Phuket, Thailand, Noma in Copenhagen, and Bacchanalia in Atlanta. But the Alden, which means “old friend” in Old English and happens to be his middle name, is where Hucks shines as a chef. Seasonality is the name of the game, with dishes such as Russian borscht with delicata squash, kimchi farm egg, tortellini primavera, and jerk Florida grouper. But for something truly special, reserve a seven-course tasting menu at the chef’s counter, and let Hucks take you on a culinary journey. Michelin just recognized the Alden, too, in its inaugural Atlanta dining guide." - Beth McKibben
