Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Scenes of Alsace come to the forefront when walking into our upper east side corner jewel. From the curved pewter bar decorated with suspended antique seltzer bottles, to our colorfully tiled floors; our cozy restaurant evokes the essence of Alsace at every turn.

The food was great, service from Steve was amazing and it was a lovely experience. We were a party of 7 with 3 kids and everyone was happy! Thank you to Steve and the staff! For brunch we ate eggs, waffles, pancakes and burger- all delicious!

Good French Alsatian bistro food, nice beer selection, friendly service. The setting isn't quite as wonderful as the restaurant's former site but it's still charming.

Our appetizers and entrees were authentic and delicious. Our wonderful server David was extraordinarily too. He was attentive, humorous and professional. Very rare these days in the service industry.
