Awesome Brunch
Provided by Citysearch
We stumbled (luckily) into Alias, because another favorite brunch spot was busy with a private event. A simple & quaint place. The food was AMAZING! I had the biscuits & gravy ? which I?ve not had in years! 2 other people in our party had the eggs benedict which were equally as delicious. The staff was very friendly & accommodating. A+ for the Bloody Marys! We?ll definitely be back. Thanks! \r

Great FOOD
Provided by Citysearch
I can't wait to go back to Alias. In a city where you have so many choices that I feel guilty going somewhere twice, I will go this place again and again.\r \r We did have a lovely evening, but it was mostly due to the amazing food and good wine. I love the fact that the menu has a few starters and then just one of every type of dish: one chicken, one meat, one fish,pasta etc.\r \r I ordered the hanger steak to start and they were the best I've ever had. They were so meaty and cooked so perfectly that they melted in your mouth. I had the sea scallop and it was quite nice. I can't remember the ingredients, but it was cooked very well.. My friend had the pasta, and it was seriously perfect. \r Our staff was so friendly , knowledgeable and attentive. I recommend to anyone.

Great food, awesome Sunday menu
Provided by Citysearch
The prix fixe menu on Sunday is amazing. It offers more or less the same items as their regular menus, just no tacos or burgers. I had the pork chop (yum!). Great laidback atmosphere with warm colors in the restaruant. Would definitely come back again.

Quality food plus imagination
Provided by Citysearch
Going out to a nice resatuarant is usually a disapointment for me. I'm a good cook and can usually fix the food better and cheaper at home. But ALIAS is a big treat because they do it way better than I can. You better believe that I took notes on the salads, veggies , sides and appetizers. I can't begin to match their grilled stuff, no matter how I try. It was quality all around, the wine, the staff, the ease of the place. Everything made me smile. Go early. Leatha S

Best Bodega in town.
Provided by Citysearch
It looks like a Bodega from the outside but the quality of the food inside is not from a deli for sure. I love the food. The menu has a few eclectic options but it also has mac and cheese and chicken and steak so there is something for everyone. The servers look like wanna be rock stars and unenthused but on the contrary, they are super nice and attentive. One of best of the LES.

Great Comfort Food on the LES
Provided by Citysearch
The menu is nothing remarkable, but really good quality comfort food with interesting twists on the norm. From the outside, the restaurant isn't overly inviting, but once you get in it is chic and quaint. Prices are very reasonable and our server was very attentive. Great for Brunch or for an inexpensive dinner.

Great Brunch - Good Service
Provided by Citysearch
Stopped by for brunch today and loved the food and service. Such a cute looking place. Server was very friendly and the food was a good value. Will definitely be back because brunch is often over priced and boring. This menu has a great southern feel in the heart of the LES

Simple. Good.
Provided by Citysearch
Sometimes you just want a simple, good, reasonably-priced meal. Alias is it. You can immediately see the attention they pay to their mostly local ingredients and it shines through in the understated, hit-the-spot American fare. Not only is the dinner consistently good, their brunch is a wonderfully relaxed experience with killer Bloody Mary's and all. And, of course, after your meal you're in the perfect neighborhood for some window shopping and people gawking...

A Great Hidden Spot
Provided by Citysearch
I've been to Alias several times and have never been disappointed. The food is always absolutely delicious and the menu is ever changing for the seasons. Out of town company is always impressed and the prices are very reasonable. I can never finish an evening there with out having their Guieness Goodness. It sounds strange but it's a must try.

a delightful little restaurant

I had dinner here with my girlfriend recently and found it delightful - warm and cozy, with an inviting decor. The food was quite good also.

Great find on LES
Provided by Citysearch
I wandered in here one evening to be absolutely delighted. The space is warm and cozy on a cold winter's evening. The staff is polite and efficient. The star is the fresh seasonal dishes which were rich and balanced in flavor and texture. There are several high-end trendy places of note in the neighborhood, but this is truly a hidden gem. The space is somewhat small, so I hope it stays underrated for now.

Inventive and Delicious
Provided by Citysearch
The last reviewer goes to a brunch on new year's and complains about a 30 minute wait. I don't think they understand New York Brunch. Anyways, onto my experience. Deliciously inventive food and drinks. The beef brisket was tender and succulent, the acorn squash adorned with different mushrooms was creative and tasty. The drinks were mixed to perfection. Our wait staff was very attentitive, but by no means overbearing. I will definitely go back to Alias and bring friends. A standout in an already great neighborhood for restaurants.

Nothing to write home about
Provided by Citysearch
Our group of 5 people waited about 30 mn outside for a table, which is fine for a good brunch place. Once we got our table, we waited another 15 mn to get our orders taken even though I had indicated to our waiter that we were ready to order. We had Eggs Benedict: decent eggs, stingy on the cream, good bacon. Their talked-about Goetta (some type of cheese) comes with the Eggs benedict: it's essentially fried cheese, similar to mozzarella but with a burnt taste. No bread with the Eggs Benedict. The veggie taco was good, and the steak and eggs was very good. Service is poor, no one checked on us for the 1h15 min we were there. Perhaps dinner is a better deal.

not so much
Provided by Citysearch
i was kinda disappointed by this place. i would not call it trendy by any means. the interior is kinda like a small, bad diner - and with no kitsch value. i did have a delicious strawberry salad and my meal was good, but the service was really slow and poor, and the pricing fairly high.

Unassuming
Provided by Citysearch
Masked from it's outside decor, the small dining room puts you up close to your hosts. While each time you look up, your staring at the craftsman who is responsible for what you have ordered. The small menu is close to ideal in variety and quality, and the tastes are simple and crisp. The service was noninvasive, but very out of reach, and the wine list was nice but lacked variety in whites. Perfect for an intimate setting with guests and friends, just don't bring too many! I can't wait to return.

Good Service, Bad Food
Provided by Citysearch
This was one of my favorites from a few years ago. A magazine ran an article on the new chef saying that he was great. Quite the opposite. The menu is small (5-6 entrée choices) which is fine, but 3 of them were unenviable! We were left to choose between boring salmon and chicken entrées or a duck substitution. We picked the duck and what came out of the kitchen was embarrassing. A single overcooked and way over-salted duck leg confit on shredded cabbage for $17! They also substituted cheaper duck liver mouse for a foie gras appetizer with without telling us. Skip this place and go to AKA Café for better and cheaper eats!!

Great spot

The menu was very interesting and the food was great. The new chef Anthony Rose is just great and shines at this place. Staff was very nice too!

wonderful spot

Alias is warm and cozy and you don't get that squished-in feeling you get at 71 Clinton. Our waiter was helpful and charming, the food was perfect, and the wine was good, too. Highly recommended.
