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.

    Absolutely delightful food experience. Every course delicious. Servers available and interested but not invasive. Perfectly attentive! Wine selection varied and fairly pricey? But hey, it’s NY. I would return here and plan to do so.

    My son’s dinner came out after we were all finished with our food - it was his last night before he left for college and it was a total bummer. Just so tired of going out and having it never be great.

    There were eight of us meeting, some of whom were coming after their book group ended. The meeting lasted longer than expected, so some folks were quite late in arriving. The restaurant was patient and we had drinks and an appetizer while waiting. Once everyone arrived, dinner was superb and the ambience and ability to converse in the back room are quite wonderful. The service, as always, was great. Alsace is our favorite restaurant. Thanks!

    Excellent cuisine all around - AND one of the best burgers in town. Their crème brûlée is one of the best I’ve ever had.

    Excellent food and service. One of the best restaurants on the Upper East Side. Very unique menu with a variety of Alsatian cuisine items and amazing specials. The atmosphere is festive and warm, as is the service. Desserts are top notch as well and all made in-house.
