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.

    Today’s lunch was delicious, but the service was wonderful, with a very attentive and charming server who made us feel as though we were at home. That’s what distinguishes the place: great food and lovely hospitality.

    The food was great. Service was ok, we did not get any bread to start - we had to request. My water was empty several times and I had to ask for a refill. The onion soup was delicious as was the Tart Flambee (small but tasty good for one person) and the winter salad was delicious.

    Very solid neighborhood choice. Nice modern & retro French bistro vibe. We were going to a concert afterwards and they were brilliant at getting us out of there on time. Good food, too!
