    The Smith always delivers. Great food, great setting, great service. The menu has some new additions which is great. The oysters are always amazing. The bone in rib eye is worth it! Great for out of town visitors to try a NYC vibe and great food. One of our neighborhood favs.

    I had a great time at Café d’Alsace on the Upper East Side! The vibe was just right - cozy and lively without being overwhelming. The food was fantastic - my waffles were fluffy and delicious. Service was attentive and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. My only tiny gripe is that I wish they offered more fruit options with the waffles - only strawberries were available. Still, I left really happy and will definitely be back!
