I was hoping to give this place high stars but I cant. I drive past this place every day on my way to work, and I finally decided to stop in after work. The restaurant Decour is calm and relaxing. There were many patrons inside, chatting, enjoying a drink, and just listening to the music. Service was prompt and the weight staff was very friendly. I was not that hungry so I decided to go with the chicken and waffles and to drink I got a Sherry royale. The presentation of the food and drinks was pleasing to the eye however, I did not really like the texture of the waffle. It was small and very crunchy, almost like a cracker. The chicken cutlet was golden brown, but it was lacking some very needed seasoning which I had to supplement with hot sauce. In all it was nice to say that I tried this place, but I cannot say I would come back other than just for drinks and to hang out and chat. read more

I've been doing the thing called brunch lately and I really been missing out!! The price is right, the time of day is right and the overall ambiance of mid-day casual/semi-dressy attire is ideal. The set up of the place is casual, the staff are nice but typical NY like. We chose this place to eat because it's cute and cozy. To eat, I ordered 1/2 dozen oysters, a cappuccino, and eggs Benedict. The oysters were my favorite. The sauce to dress the oysters were spicy and amplified the texture and taste of the oysters in a positive way. The eggs Benedict with the hollandaise sauce was ok, it didn't quite stand out as much as the lettuce leaves with the vinaigrette dressing. It tasted like any typical eggs Benedict. I can definitely see myself going back for brunch. read more

A promising spot in East Harlem but there were a few misses. More pricy than quality. Food: * Chilaquiles were very flavorful but the chips came soggy. For $21, the proportions felt too small. * Kale & Ricotta Salad was also flavorful if you love lemony things. That overpowered all other flavors. Drinks: * Mimosa was tasty and mostly balanced. It's more cava than juice (which I liked). The quantity is small for $9 since it came in a shorter flute glass. * Hibiscus Mule tasted more like Dr. Pepper than a proper cocktail. For $12 it is not recommended. * Mulled Wine was delicious. The waitress kindly offered us free samples at the end of our meal; wish I knew about it from the beginning! Service was very friendly and just the right amount of attention. We sat outside, which looked cute but VERY uncomfortable. The stools were too high for the counter tops, which meant we hunched for the whole meal. The surface was barely wide enough to hold a plate and a drink, so our water glass had to be left on the ledge where cars were driving by. That said, there are regular tables and seats outside that could have been more comfortable but they were not available. read more

Great atmosphere, great service (shout out to Joel). Hummus, mushroom croquette, and black ceviche on point! We have a new local

My friend and I were walking around the neighborhood and randomly decided to get a quick lunch here. We were drawn in by the beautiful exterior. The interior was also really cute. She got the chicken sandwich with fries which was ok. Nothing special. I got the farro bowl with chicken, which was very expensive for what it was. There was barely any substance to the meal. I think I counted about 3 pieces of cauliflower. Also, we found it uncomfortable that they asked us multiple times if we wanted to order drinks when we had already said no. read more

Overall I felt very underwhelmed by the food in taste and portion size. I honestly could cook somthing better at home. The sourdough tased like it was from the grocery store, the chickpeas were not crispy, salmon slightly overcooked. Can't market yourself as fine dining when you can't deliver. Closed on mondays. read more

Meh Our 2nd brunch here. Both times Disappointing. Shakshuka is just fried eggs with sauce on top. Almond milk cappuccino was impossible to drink. read more

This is a simple and chill spot to have a quick lunch or breakfast. I am on a hunt to make sure that i try these pancakes. I need these pancakes actually. They look good okay. I also really appreciate the airiness there is to their service. I did not feel like we were annoying or that our requests were out of the ordinary. Which is a good feeling. It helps the business thrive and also helps us feel more at ease. I like this spot. The windows are always clean which makes you feel like you have been transported elsewhere. You are also surrounded by the beautiful art of el barrio which are beautiful contributions from the community. read more

Such a great atmosphere and super delicious food! The restaurant and food felt very homey but also upscale. It's a great place for a date or hanging out with friends and family. It also felt very COVID safe. I got the salmon and it was perfectly cooked for medium and melted in my mouth. I also tried the chicken, which took a while to cook but worth the wait. Can't wait to come back here soon. read more

Simply Amazing. Staff is amazing, and you cannot beat the $55 daily special: 1 dz of oysters + a bottle of white wine. Any time I come here I have a great time! Perfection! read more

Alison is the perfect 4 star establishment. I came across this place on the seated app and it looked like it had nice ambience so my gf and I gave it a shot. We liked how it wasnt too crowded on a Friday night and that there were at least 2 to 3 open tables. It was dimly lit, warm, and quite cozy. For starters we had the arugula salad and five onion soup. The arugula salad hit a nice balance between the sweetness of the honey and salt from the cheese. The onion soup was satiating, and the accompanying bread insanely tasty -- buttery and crisp. I had the beef cheek special which was covered with gravy. It was hearty but delicate given the tenderness of the meat. My gf enjoyed her fish tacos. All in all a solid date night spot. read more

Great spot for brunch. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Ordered steak and eggs for brunch and it did not disappoint. I love supporting local spots that serve a variety of food. I will return soon for another brunch event. read more

I've only ever been here for brunch or lunch but can honestly say that given the quality of the food , the polite and inviting staff and the simple environment makes me want to return often The offerings are not typical, the Avacado toast with beet humus is amazing, the crispy chicken sandwich a total hit served with hot bay fries are bomb! And I can truly say I haven't had a better hamburger. Served with beautiful onions sautéed on a perfect brioche roll. Is it high dining? No... It is, however great comfort, food, which I'm anxious to try in the evening for dinner. They also have a really nice selection of wines. However, they don't serve hard liquor. read more

Gorgeous little place with absolutely lovely food. Good service, and a staff that seem to enjoy each others company while keeping the place in tip top shape. In the summer, it's a true vibe, packed on the weekends for brunch with music blaring out. It's worth a trip even if you're not in the area. The Chilaquiles are very very good. If you're a fan of spice, it's a must. The burger is alright. The drinks are solid enough, but nothing to die for. I have been here three times for brunch, but I'm eager to come back for dinner and the happy hour. Where I will update this review. My only qualms are the prices, they're a bit too high. But hey, it is good. read more

I want to like this place but when I think back to my last food experience here during the summer all I can think is... seasoning. My party ordered basic items - wings, tuna tostada and steak frites. All items definitely needed salt and additional seasoning. I would stick to wine if you choose to drink here as the summer Frosé was lackluster. read more

Happy hour deals are solid (loved the 2 tacos for $9 especially). The salmon rice bowl was OK, and the arugula salad was forgettable. Jazz music inside on Wednesdays, so it was actually nice to sit outside and hear the music at a lower volume. Our server was attentive and we got our food quickly. read more

Love, love, LOVE this place. Seriously can't go wrong with anything you order! High quality ingredients, flavorful dishes, and everything is made with love + served with a smile. Ambiance: Way cute. Feels like a casual BK/EV spot despite being in East Harlem, and the outdoor dining space is well done and plentiful (good for groups as well). Service: Fast and friendly! We always seem to run into Julio and Lily, and they're both just the best. The place is locally owned and operated too, which is a little feel-good tidbit. Food: What to recommend? Crispy chicken sandwich, steak baguette, steak salad (bf says it's the first salad he's ever loved-- should I be jealous??), farro bowl, burger, salmon burger, old bay fries... the list goes on and on. We're regulars and still discovering new favorites every time we go! Only caveat: the buffalo shrimp is exceptional but comes with just four pieces... I'm tempted to get it again, regardless. Overall the value here is excellent: this food quality and these portion sizes would cost you double just a few blocks down. Hands down favorite place in the neighborhood (for us and everyone we bring here) to sit with a glass of wine and have 5-star food/service. Thanks for existing, Alison! :) read more

We loveee Alison except it's very inconsistent. The octopus is great but once I went there and got four tentacles and then another time only one. Weird... flavor is great though. The old bay fries are good too. read more

Food is overpriced for what it is. Decent enough but nothing spectacular. I would only return if I didn't have other options.

Great food - tons of seafood options, and their pastas are great too. Excited to check it out for brunch this summer, seems like they have a good outdoor situation. read more

Horrible place and horrible manager. There were four tables and they refused to seat at a table because I was by myself. I asked to speak to the manager, and she gave me some horrible excuse about reservations. The waiter forget to put in my food order and forgot to give me my food. The manager nor the owner apologized. Horrible experience. The froze is very tart, it was also very disappointing. read more

I was online looking for a restaurant close to home that served Frosé and Alison came up. The Frosé was perfect not too sweet and not too strong. If you're a hummus lover it's definitely worth giving it a try and the portion is good for one person. I had the Buffalo wings which were spicy but not too spicy with a side of Old Bay fries! I would have never thought to put Old Bay on french fries! The service was quick and my server was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu. read more

Such a nice brunch spot! The staff were all pleasant, welcoming, and really patient - two of us were very late to our reservation due to train delays, but they still accommodated us. We were there around 1:30pm on a Saturday, and it was busy but not packed. I got the Norwegian eggs and a mimosa, both of which were great. I'd definitely recommend this place, good portion sizes in terms of food and such a lovely spot to catch up with friends! read more

Alison - Norwegian eggs - Beer Bar Near Me - New York, New York

What great addition to the neighborhood. This cozy spot has been open since September 2019, which still makes them the new kid on the block, but their food and service are making a big impact and creating regulars already. Alison is not a bottomless brunch spot, but the quality of the food is a reminder that you do not need a boozy brunch to enjoy a good meal. They do offer brunch cocktails such as your typical mimosas and bloody marys but also offer a grapefruit spritzer, that includes cava. Alison is a place where I would brunch with my girlfriends to catch up, dine alone, and dive into a good book while awaiting my food, or an excellent place for families. What I love about Alison is it is a place for everyone, due to the diverse food menu, welcoming waitstaff, and beautiful open space. read more

Great neighborhood bistro with awesome food and great vibes. It's a go to place. I

I stopped in for a meal around 8:30 one night because I had been eating to try this place and tonight was a good night to try. When I came in the place had about 4 or 5 empty tables. No one greeted me when I came in but there were 2 girls standing behind the bar. I walked over to them and requested a table for one. For started Es they gave me the strangest look. They proceeded to tell me that I could be dug at a table because some people might be coming in. So I was offered the bar. I took the seat because I was hungry and needed to get something to eat. In the. 1/2 hour that I waited for my salad only one group of 4 came in to eat. So as I sat and waited no one else came in. I would have felt better if she would have asked my if I wouldn't mi d sitting at the bar instead of making me feel unwelcome. AND she passed the check to me before my salad came. Beware her name is Alexis!!! I will never come back to this place again. They just lost out on a good customer. read more

This is one of the best brunches I ever had. Not a brunch for turn up - but great for a date or family time. Their sangria and mimosas were really good. The Alison burger with fried egg was amazing. My phone died and the waitress even charged my phone for me. Hallelujah! 10/10 read more

Top 3 places in East Harlem. Happy Hour is one of our favorite in the neighborhood. The Brunch is Chefs kiss. The Buffalo Shrimp & Obey fries, paradelle & pesto is one of my favorite items. Love the staff, welcoming, hospitable and accommodating! read more

Solo pongo 4 estrellas porque es mi primera vez comiendo aquí. Ordenamos, tacos de pescado, al pastor. Crab sliders y Thai mussels. Tengo que decir que estuvo supremo. Hay muchos otros lugares en donde podrías encontrar los mismos platillos, por ejemplo los tacos al Pastor. Pero en Alison el corte fino y el sazón los suben a otro nivel de taco. Los mussels venían en una porción generosa y el broth estuvo delicioso digno de llevármelo lo que ya no pude comer. Sin mencionar que tienen happy hour food and drinks. Las meseras y el food runner hicieron un excelente servicio y fueron muy atentos y amables. Complementos para todos los de la cocina. AMF. read more

I need to update my review. My first meal at Alison was 3 nights ago and tonight was my third night in a row enjoying dinner there. I'd put money on it that I will be back again tomorrow. Everything is still delicious but I need to give a special shout out about the burger. I'm very picky when it comes to burgers but Alison's burger is among the best I've ever had. Welcome to the neighborhood! Alison has great food, a fantastic playlist and nice, interesting staff. We've been looking forward to coming in since it opened a month or so ago and now I'm only sorry we waited so long! Three of us snacked on fried olives, feta rolls and crispy chickpeas and then followed them with salads (one of each -- the steak, kale and Caesar). Everything was delicious. We couldn't resist ordering the chocolate cake for dessert, definitely worth saving room for a piece! Another thing is a definite: we will be back!! read more

I'm going to round up to 5 on this one. Delicious steak sandwich and French fries (which were great even though I got delivery). Also had the kale salad and the plate with farro, feta, avocado, and onions - both were good - good dressing, healthy, quality ingredients - just a bit boring. I will definitely try more things here, and will reorder the steak sandwich! read more
