   They were not ready to seat us and seemed surprised by the size of the party despite having a reservation that clearly indicated it was for 9 people. The entrees took a very long time to come from the kitchen and we received 2 sides of potatoes complements of the house for our wait. Overall the food was very tasty and inventive. It was a very loud environment.

   Service was very slow which was weird considering there was only 3 tables. Menu choices were decent

   Was very pleased with every aspect of our lunch today. My omelette was delicious, prepared exactly as I had requested, My friends had waffles and the breakfast sandwich and they thought their lunches were excellent as well. The service as excellent and they didn't complain when we stayed quite awhile after finishing our meal. I will definitely return.

   We had a large group but the waitstaff handled it well. The food was tasty but there were a few weird things, like a huge pile of potato sticks (we think) on the mushroom ravioli. I’m not sure if the staff there reads this but WTF was up with the bland, almost dry, olives in the martini. We were all laughing at how absolutely pitiful they were. The bar manager really needs to step up their game.

   I had the pleasure of enjoying Thanksgiving dinner at Altair with my mom, and it was truly a fantastic experience! The Thanksgiving prix fixe menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a variety of delicious options that perfectly captured the holiday spirit. The food was exceptional—every dish was flavorful, and the proportions were just right, leaving us satisfied but not overwhelmed. The wine selection complemented the meal beautifully, adding to the overall warmth of the evening. The ambiance was cozy yet refined, making it a perfect setting for a special holiday dinner. Altair exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

    We had a table of 9... 6 adults and 3 teens. The selection of foods was wonderful... allowing several members to try different things that they might not have tried at a lesser restaurant. The Foie Gras and Octopus come to mind immediately. Portions were excellent... not American... where you are too full to enjoy desert or the meal. Preparation was superb. Every one... even the teen who is not adventurous in dining... enjoyed their meals immensely. While the food and ambiance was great, the service from Farouk was really superb. This was a great family meal at a location we rarely visit... and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would highly recommend it... even in a city known for it's fine cuisine.
