Neighborhood 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.

We had the perfect family dinner here. I selected this restaurant mostly because it could accommodate our family of nine the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and everyone agreed it was the perfect place. Our table was in the back room where it was relatively quiet (especially before other parties sat down, luckily we eat early), the service was attentive, and the food was excellent. We will definitely eat here again.
