Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

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.

Brought my parents here for a post-Christmas dinner and they loved it. Good decorations, music at an acceptable volume, amazing food and an extensive wine list. Would recommend.

Cafe d'Alsace offered a Christmas menu on 12/25. I chose pork chop as my main course. While the dish itself was tasty, I was disappointed that the meat was somewhat tough and difficult to cut. I thought they should have provided a steak knife. I enjoyed the pheasant sausage appetizer and the Buche de Noel for dessert. The prix fix dinner was $95.00. The staff was warm and welcoming, but the service was not great. I'm sure it was due to the busy holiday. Still, we had to summon a bus person to bring us the remaining wine in our bottle of Sauvignon Blanc that was chilling in a nearby cooler. Despite these minor concerns, the restaurant is top-notch and I look forward to dining there again soon.

This was our first visit. It was wonderful-food and service were terrific. I would definitely go back. The price (prix fix) was a bit steep but worth it.
