    Came into Alison with my friend on a whim During happy hour. Absolutely did not disappoint, the place is definitely a great bang for you buck spot. The chicken and lamb slider were succulent and tasty, however the fries with Cilantro aoli was next level fire. Huge shout out to Vincent who was incredible friendly and made the best rose spritz I've ever had. Highly recommend for good drinks, eats and vibes

    Burger way undercooked, and we asked twice for shrimp in a bowl and were brought two bowls without shrimp.

    GET THIS STEAK SALAD Wow. Delicious. Ordered it rare and was perfectly cooked. Caramelized onions and blue cheese.

    Great experience overall with Alison! The service was good and attentive throughout the meal. I ordered the oysters, wings, steak, and chicken, and everything came out tasting great and well prepared. The food and service definitely made for an enjoyable visit. I'd come back again.

    This is the new restaurant that opened where David's Café used to be. I decided after reviewing the menu to take a chance and try it for brunch today. The inside seating and ambiance is similar to David's - not too much has changed. Outside seating received an upgrade. The waitress asked if she could get me a beverage to start, I asked about decaf espresso but they didn't have it. I asked about their Chai latte and she said they were out of it. I then asked for a regular latte with almond milk, she apologize and said they only have oat milk. So no beverages for me today except water. I looked over menu and went with the French Omelette with brie, chives and toast for $16 which was a great deal. The food was flavorful and hearty but I ended up taking half in a to-go box. I will come back for a glass of wine and to try the salmon burger. There's a wide variety of options for Sunday brunch so if you're looking for a cute, cozy spot in the East Village, I recommend checking Alison out for brunch. Come solo, with a date or with friends. Looking forward to your reviews!

    Sad that David's Cafe closed but Alison is a decent replacement. The menu is eclectic but every dish I've tried has been a delight. Particularly enjoyed the crispy sushi rice, salad, and their rigatoni a la vodka. Service is great, always friendly. The interior is cozy and there is ample outdoor seating to enjoy St Marks in the warmer months.

    This is a cozy little NYC local feeling spot in the East Village. They only have wine/beer/apertif cocktails, but there are good cocktail options, like coca-cola and vermouth which is one of my favorites. It has a wooden interior and a bar! I'd say it's perfect for a Sunday night/weeknight dinner to catch up with someone 1:1. Their oysters were so good and the menu had a lot of variety. You have to get the vodka rigatoni, sooo good. The crowd was a bit on the younger side, but it's probably just because it was 9 pm on a Saturday night!

    Bartender was dismissive and rude. Would not recommend going here with so many other amazing options in the area.

    How have I not reviewed Zou Zou's? It's one of my favorite places. High points:…read more Decor- it's beautiful Service- every time I've been there it's been outstanding. I brought a friend with a specific allergy and everyone involved in service was aware and assured us that dishes didn't contain the offending nuts. Food- I live for their branzino. The duck borek is amazing. My friend who rarely eats meat proclaimed the filet on the skewer as the best steak she's ever had. The cheesecake is phenomenal. I really recommend the chef's menu. You get a sample of everything served family style and at $79 a person, it's a deal considering that if you ordered appetizers, an entree and dessert you'd pay much more than that in any restaurant in Manhattan. I've done that twice and still ended up taking food home. Drink prices are in line with mid-town Manhattan but $12 for a bottle of San Pellegrino is a little excessive. I'd be okay with $8 or $9 but I guess a few bucks in the grand scheme of things is not the end of the world. I've been there a few times and I'll note that I had reservations on a busy Thursday and was seated outside (which was lovely) but then it started raining hard and they were so helpful and gracious in finding us a place to squeeze in on the inside. Really top notch service. I'll also note that I brought a friend from Seattle and her husband is an architect for restaurants and she was wowed by the entire experience, which made me feel great!

    We all know that New York is home to so many great restaurants, yet I can confidently say that Zou…read moreZou's is one of the best. They have a lovely rooftop bar while you wait for a table. Then, when it was finally time to be seated in the dining room, I was so pleased with the upscale, romantic interior. Our server for that night was Ferdian, who was so attentive and had real class service. We made the reservation with OpenTable for 12 and ended up with 13 people. I love that the staff was so accommodating with the last-minute request We did the pre-fixed menu to make things easier. Everything was delicious from the beginning to the end. They were also able to accommodate gluten-free and dairy-free restrictions among those wonderful meals. My favorites were the dips, branzino, and hamachi. duck borek, and the desserts! The grilled pineapple was out of this world. Simple dish with complex flavors. The crunchy cheese cake was delicious too. I had the Road to Jericho cocktail, and it was yummy.
