   We had a large group but the waitstaff handled it well. The food was tasty but there were a few weird things, like a huge pile of potato sticks (we think) on the mushroom ravioli. I’m not sure if the staff there reads this but WTF was up with the bland, almost dry, olives in the martini. We were all laughing at how absolutely pitiful they were. The bar manager really needs to step up their game.

   I had the pleasure of enjoying Thanksgiving dinner at Altair with my mom, and it was truly a fantastic experience! The Thanksgiving prix fixe menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a variety of delicious options that perfectly captured the holiday spirit. The food was exceptional—every dish was flavorful, and the proportions were just right, leaving us satisfied but not overwhelmed. The wine selection complemented the meal beautifully, adding to the overall warmth of the evening. The ambiance was cozy yet refined, making it a perfect setting for a special holiday dinner. Altair exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

   We had a table of 9... 6 adults and 3 teens. The selection of foods was wonderful... allowing several members to try different things that they might not have tried at a lesser restaurant. The Foie Gras and Octopus come to mind immediately. Portions were excellent... not American... where you are too full to enjoy desert or the meal. Preparation was superb. Every one... even the teen who is not adventurous in dining... enjoyed their meals immensely. While the food and ambiance was great, the service from Farouk was really superb. This was a great family meal at a location we rarely visit... and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would highly recommend it... even in a city known for it's fine cuisine.

   Went there for my anniversary and the service was outstanding. Food was really impressive and I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet spot for a special occasion.

   This restaurant is so great. I’ve dined here twice now, at the recommendation of a girlfriend that works in tech. I keep meaning to go to the open air, garden like beautiful main room, but the bar room is such a vibe and is jammin’ at night and even has live music, sometimes. The food is *delicious* and my friend even said his ravioli was maybe the best thing he’d ever eaten. We had a bottle of white wine from New Zealand, the honey nut squash and apple and endive salad and I had the lamb. The service was the best I’ve had in NYC so far. Go have fun here with friends!

   Plates are on the smaller side but definitely adequate. Also allows you to try more dishes. Staff was amazing and attentive. The food was delicious with some very inventive cocktails, Ambiance in the garden room was wonderful and I am glad I selected it over the main dining room which looked more like a cafeteria. Would highly recommend so long as you are not a standard meat and potatoes kind of eater.
