Best Restaurants for Foodies in Doraville

This was a great time. Food was pretty good and service was excellent. It was a little pricey but our server Quo was very helpful on what to get for the value of your buck. And if you don’t know what to get she is very patient and will help! I appreciate Quo for answering all our 100 questions and helping us out. Will definitely request her again!!

We eat here several times a year - love the food, service and ambiance. Last night, we had a reservation on the heated patio. However, the patio was occupied for a private party. We did not want to sit inside. Jason, the manager, set up a table outside with 2 heaters and we enjoyed a wonderful meal. He even discounted the meal. What an outstanding example of putting customers first!

The Alden has an intimate setting which is perfect for a special night out or a culinary adventure. I was celebrating my best friend’s birthday and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making the entire experience feel personal and welcoming. I’m no food critic, but I can recognize fresh, high-quality ingredients, and Chef Jared and his team delivered that in every dish—10/10. Sitting at the counter was the highlight; it’s the best seat in the house. You get to watch the chefs in action, adding a layer of entertainment to the evening. Each course was perfectly timed, creating a seamless dining experience. The combinations of ingredients and pairings were nothing short of fantastic. Some dishes featured bold and unexpected flavors that worked together beautifully. The quail and scallops were my favorites—flawlessly executed and deeply satisfying. I also appreciated the global influences woven into the menu, which made each dish feel like a small journey. And let’s not overlook the fact that Chef Jared is as talented as he is handsome—a fun bonus to an already unforgettable meal. They gave us a birthday treat to top it all off. I can’t wait to go back to experience other dishes.

We were in a booth in the bar during happy hour so expected it would be noisier than usual. I ordered a glass of wine and a flatbread at the happy hour price. Flatbread was good, price was outstanding. Service was superb. Friend ordered shrimp and grits - always a very good order.

Great experience! The sushi here is superb and the selection of Japanese whiskey is also excellent. We especially enjoyed the play on light which added to the overall sensory experience. Would definitely recommend!
