    My husband and I hosted a wedding anniversary party for six people. We have been to Cafe D’Alsace regularly over six years. We used to live on the Upper East Side. The food is comforting and the staff are friendly. We look forward to every visit.

    The soupe au Pistou was fabulous. The Moules Provençale Ok. Needed an implement to hold mussel which is standard, but not supplied. They were very gracious about changing our table. My dinner partner tends to be very particular.

    We selected French Roast as a place where three of us could catch up after years of not seeing each other. I am grateful for the staff letting us enjoy our happy hour selections and not rush us out. Would love to return soon for a full dinner, those eating entrees around us had delicious plates.

    Fabulous dining experience to start off the New Year! The restaurant was decorated so beautifully for the holidays! I treated my Mom and her friend out for an early dinner for New Year’s Day. I loved the Chicken Milanese with salad. My Mom enjoyed the Butternut Squash soup with mashed potatoes. Her friend loved the gnocchi’s and crème brûlée. The service was excellent thanks to Axle, James and Benjamin. The hostesses were lovely and helpful. The manager Danny stopped by to say hello too. Thanks to Kevin the bartender who always has a smile and is so kind. The music was great touch too.
