Our Take

Alden & Harlow — Cambridge

Alden & Harlow is the Harvard Square restaurant-bar from chef Michael Scelfo — a celebrated New American kitchen with a tight cocktail programme that punches above the room's neighbourhood-bar billing.

The cocktail menu rotates seasonally with about a dozen drinks plus a serious wine-by-the-glass programme. Kitchen does small-plates American with a celebrated burger and a strong vegetable programme. The bar is small with limited seats.

Reserve via Resy. Bar seats walk-in friendly Tue-Wed.

What to Order

Secret Burger

Hidden-menu, aged cheddar, special sauce. Kitchen flagship.

Seasonal Cocktail

Rotating ingredient-led menu. The Alden format.

Wine-by-glass

20+ pours, mostly natural. Strong list.

Bar Seating

Six first-come seats. The proper place to sit.
