Cafe d'Alsace is a charming Upper East Side staple known for "excellent and creative" French-inspired dishes. Patrons rave about its "outstanding service," "delicious food," and a "great wine list." While the ambiance is lively, some find it noisy. Consistently praised, it's ideal for brunch, dinner, and special occasions.

    We have been going there for years. It is unfortunate to see that the portions (such as for the omelettes) have been reduced significantly. Also, it would be nice to see some new items on the menu after all these years.

    Menu is large and varied. Food is well prepared and presented. Outside seating and friendly staff create a lovely experience. After many years Cafe d'Alsace remains a neighborhood gem.

    Went there with a group of 8 for a birthday brunch. We had a great time. The food was great. Service above and beyond. We were a little concerned when we first walked in because the front room was a bit loud. We were seated in the back room, which was nice and quiet so we could hear each other. Great spot for a special meal.
