    The food was fantastic. Love their prix-fix menu. Definitely order the escargot if they have it. Everything was cooked perfectly and the service was excellent! Apple tart for dessert - don't miss out!

    Great for brunch - Free coffee refill and a delicious chicken sandwich big enough for two.

    The food,OMG! Their jumbo lump crab omelette with cream cheese & avocado! One of the best Omelettes I’ve ever tried. Paired with their potatoes & salad. The mocha cafe is huge & delicious!

    Absolute fave: French Onion soup!! ;9 Choucroute is also good. Had Steak Frites w/ both Au poivre & red wine sauces on side-both great but I prefer the wine sauce. SKIP Les Halles & come here!

    Start with the Onion Soup. Orange Duck as main course. Finish with Chocolate Tart (very moist, slightly salty, peanut butter ice cream). Every course is a delight.

    they might have the best roasted fingerling potatoes i tried in the city! The staff is super helpful and friendly and the seating outside is lovely, while the indoor seating is good for dates.

    I've been coming here for years and they've never disappointed. The egg dishes are all great choices for brunch and the French onion soup is reliably hearty and delicious too, at any hour.

    Delicious food. The moules "poulette" are excellent. Bring your appetite and ask for a loaf of bread to dip!

    Saddle up to the warm, glowy zinc bar and Cafe d’Alsace offers a well curated, frequently changing set of beers on tap and a surprisingly rich bottle list packed with around 100 selections. Enjoy! Read more

    In a city overflowing with brunch options, this may be one of the best. And you can still enjoy their great outdoor seating for a few more weeks.

    Everything we had was delicious! Ginger & Blanc d Blanc cocktail, followed by pre- theatre choices: chop salad, roast chicken breast, sauerkraut and sausage followed by fettechini with pesto sauce.

    Had the zuzulella (spelt wrong) the Jewsish dish, it was delicious and unique. Highly recommended. Waiter was great, even gave us advice on where to live in New York, super friendly.

    A great place for a lazy Sunday brunch – go for the Omelette d’Alsace or the Frittata Provencal, or maybe the Apple Pancake or the Tarte Flambee – everything is delicious.

    Great brunch! Loved the bread basket and all the food we ordered. It's quite cozy too. They don't accept reservations, but you can leave your # and go for a walk!

    Great place for lunch. Have the 25$ lunch set, very good deal! Steak and fries, cauliflowers and goat cheese tatin are excellent! Great cocktails as well.

    My favorite brunch place in the upper east side. Awesome coffee, try the Alsace omelette and the brioche French toast. Eggs Benedict are great.

    Excellent Onion soup and the best Steak Fritte I've had in NYC. A very enjoyable Cote Du Rhone completed the French bistro atmosphere.

    Nice ambiance, great beer list, solid steak tartar, good tarte flambee. Duck is good, desserts are tasty. Good date place or dinner place.

    The grilled octopus app, big portion but swimming in oil. Seafood sausage surprisingly good and exciting, served on sauerkraut. Trout, huge portion, 2 files on rice, light & good. Duck burger huge.

    First things first. Get a cappuccino. Now, you can get classic with a Croque Madame but if it was me I'd go straight for the kill with the lamb burger served medium rare. D'Alsace is French for "Win".

    Huge list of beer and.wine. Had the cider beer not my favorite, but I'm not a beer gal. Steak frites mediun rare very good. Although 10oz looked like 6oz. Fries were fresh, crispy and good.

    Great brunch! Not so good dinner. The waffles here are to die for. Dinner plates however were a bit stale and plain. Don’t recommend for dinner.

    The arugula salad is fantastic (they drench it in dressing so ask for it light if you need to). The benedicts are delish. The salmon is my favorite. Yum!!

    The bar, with its colorful bottles, is the focus of the interior. And looks are not deceiving: it offers a selection of 110+ beers, extensive and distinguished. Ask the savvy barkeep for suggestions.. Read more

    If you sit outside with your dog, they may bring him/her water & bone marrow. Another extension of the restaurant's excellent service!

    Came for lunch during restaurant week. It's a solid neighborhood spot. Food was good, and so was the service, but nothing blew me away.
