Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in DUMBO

The food was ok. Loved the ambiance. My date and i was able to enjoy a quiet dinner where we got to talk. But my problem was, even though the place was empty at the time, the servers and hosts were trying to kick us out even though there was only 2 other people there…you know when they keep coming to the table taking things away…pretty much hinting to go…it’s not like anyone else was waiting for our table. But i digress. Still a good dinner with my date. Thanks

Excellent food and great lunch special price. The French onion soup could use a little more soup, but tasted great otherwise. We loved the tuna tartare, mushroom ravioli, and the burger. While it was quiet the afternoon we went and we could have flagged the server at anytime, I do wish they would check in once during each course.

I love the view from the rooftop as well as the cocktails. An intimate experience with great music.

I must echo the comments of anyone who calls the alderman a hidden gem. It is truly a little oasis in the hub of Times Square with some of the best food and service I’ve had in a long while.  Everyone we encountered was professional, polite, friendly, relaxed, and service was on point at all times. A special shout out to Hersey at the bar and our server Ethan, who was just tremendous honest and very attentive, to the lovely manager, a young blonde woman whose name I forgot sorry. Had the perfectly prepared salmon and flirt steak entrees from the prix fixe menu plus ALL the other TASTY courses and they were very generous portions, very satisfying and a wonderful value. Cannot recommend this enough if you are going to a show or you just want to have an enjoyable evening dinner lunch or just a coffee from the front barista station. The ambience is warm and tasteful. Like sitting in a garden! Just terrific. You won’t be disappointed.

Great casual atmosphere. A bit noisy but not overwhelming. Food very good and service excellent.
