Alden & Birch seems out of place in the Orleans casino. It is very modern & sleek, unlike the casino which feels very different Vegas. Don't let the old school casino vibe dissuade you from a good restaurant. We started off with a watermelon salad which was delicious, good combination of differing flavors to do something very special. My wife & I shared a filet & scallops. Scallops were delicious & very large. Like tenderloins. Filet was very good, very good wood flavor from off of the grill. The steak was cooked just a touch over my medium rare request but very good nonetheless. Also ordered Brussel sprouts which were good but nothing special. Price for everything was very good. Don't want to deal with the wait or prices at some of the more haute steakhouses, then I'd say give this a try.
Also I noticed that a lot of the reviews mentioned a waiter named Ivan. Ivan worked our table as well, and I concur with all of his great reviews.
