Set inside HUB Brooklyn on Riverside Avenue, Alder & Oak centers on wood-fired cooking and seasonal sourcing to transform premium ingredients through flame. The menu features hearth-roasted vegetables, handmade pastas, whole fish, and shareable plates designed for gathering, all served in an upscale yet welcoming dining room. Signature rituals — warm bread with first-press olive oil, sizzling plates from the hearth, and a communal closing pour — make meals here feel both theatrical and intimate.
