Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for brunch

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.

We were there to celebrate a birthday and the food was amazing and our server was great. The one issues i had and i have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and this is the first time that i have ever had an issue. Other servers and busboys kept coming over to the table and wanted to take our plates. It was very annoying and we felt rushed. The once good thing is that i went and spoke to the manager and he was shocked and said he would talk with the staff and he did the right thing, I will not let this stop me from going back.

Perfect Brunch spot . Went on Sat for my birthday before going to the MET . Wonderful drinks and food. Great menu and lots of delicious choices. Busy and festive . Friendly staff and very organized kitchen. Enjoyed a nice walk to the museum afterwards to burn off the dessert calories. I have dined here a few times when in the city It never disappoints..
