We were delighted to find another excellent Chef Driven restaurant on the upper East Side! Big fans of French Roast and Nice Matin on the West Side. Always a great experience so we knew Cafe d’Alsace would not disappoint. And we were right: excellent and creative food with outstanding service at a reasonable price.
