"Bistro Alder offers a menu that includes classic French dishes like steak frites, escargots, croque monsieur, and madame. Chef Aaron Dionne has infused the menu with personal connections, such as the frisée aux lardons from his days at Carafe and moules Marinières made for his wife. The restaurant emphasizes Pacific Northwestern produce and meat, with simple, quality-focused dishes. The cocktail menu is more adventurous, featuring unique ingredients like gin hydrosol and cold-pressed juices. Bistro Alder is located at 750 Alder Street and is open for dinner." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
