Best Romantic Restaurants in Midtown West

Found this place on TikTok. Went for Valentine’s Day. Made reservations in December. Place was charming, lively and made to feel very, very elegant. We had a great time smoking our cigars and listening to the live music. 10/10 Experience, will be back again!

I must echo the comments of anyone who calls the alderman a hidden gem. It is truly a little oasis in the hub of Times Square with some of the best food and service I’ve had in a long while.  Everyone we encountered was professional, polite, friendly, relaxed, and service was on point at all times. A special shout out to Hersey at the bar and our server Ethan, who was just tremendous honest and very attentive, to the lovely manager, a young blonde woman whose name I forgot sorry. Had the perfectly prepared salmon and flirt steak entrees from the prix fixe menu plus ALL the other TASTY courses and they were very generous portions, very satisfying and a wonderful value. Cannot recommend this enough if you are going to a show or you just want to have an enjoyable evening dinner lunch or just a coffee from the front barista station. The ambience is warm and tasteful. Like sitting in a garden! Just terrific. You won’t be disappointed.

This was a treat for Valentine’s Day ( we fly home on Valentine’s Day ) I prefer a big meal at lunchtime and this place did not disappoint, the service from the front door to everyone that brought our food / drinks and cleared up was excellent. The food and ambience were fabulous and add the great service and it makes it one of the most enjoyable meals of my life We started with the butter service garni ( I had read about it ) and a couple of cocktails, the drinks were lovely and the butter service was all and more than I expected. We had the steak frites and a spiced chicken Caesar salad but here’s also fantastic with a glass of the house Cabernet Sauvignon for he with my steak and a Provence rose for my wife very tasty I enquired about the opera cake ( it’s only fir dinner service ) but we turned our frowns upside down when the salted caramel gateau arrived and was a beautiful show at the table and was sublime along with a couple of lattes we had the most wonderful dining experience and by New York standards it was a bargain at $250 plus tip Honestly treat yourself to a great meal and experience and eat here

I have no complaints ! On arrival the ambiance was great, dim lighting , calm music , and a sense of class and elegance to match. Tables weren’t ready yet but we were directed to one of the bars where the drinks started our nights off perfectly! As receiving our tables 5 minutes after and food about 10 minutes after that I was shocked how fast things were moving to make accommodations. The food was to die for, the shaking steak I highly recommend as the seasonings was so savory. The sticky rice complimented it perfectly definitely giving that tai feel,while our waiter was nothing short of perfect even offering us tiramisu ahead to time so it would be received faster as it was. If you’re looking for a good date night place that isn’t too pricy but still gives out Luxury I highly recommend it there!

We totally enjoyed our early weekday splurge at Altair. The entire staff was warm and gracious from the hostess to the bartender who dazzled us with a fun cocktail creation mixe at the table. The food was spot n from the warm, rich pumpkin brioche, to the perfectly seasoned mushroom ravioli and sea bass. At one point a very large party was being seated with tables being rearranged that was a bit chaotic, but it quickly settled down and we enjoyed the rest of our dinner. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion and its location makes it a perfect pre-theatre dinner.
