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.

    For our party of seven celebrating a friend's 90th birthday, the staff delivered impeccable service and the kitchen delivered wonderful food. We were very well taken care of and felt we had made a great pick for our party.

    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.

    We were pretty much ignored by our server and it was very challenging to get the check.

    Hi Iris, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with us. As the general manager, it’s disheartening to know that we fell short of your expectations, especially in something as fundamental as attention and delivering the check. I will be addressing this with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I’d love to make it up to you if you give us another chance. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly if you decide to visit again. Best, Gabriel Biton General Manager Cafe d'Alsace

    This restaurant never disappoints, from food to service. The setting is always inviting and aesthetically pleasing. Brought friends visiting from out of town who loved it.
