The everything lobster we got was excellent! From beginning to end. Went here for a friends birthday and everyone was very happy with their meal. We talked about coming back because it was that good. The lobster roll was perfection with fries. The grilled lobster also excellent and not dry. Lobster with baratta was amazing The lobster bisque we all wished there was more Definitely going to go back and maybe try other items or just the same thing again

Tried Alice this past weekend and it was a decent experience. My friends and I tried the $100 Lobster menu. While the food was good nothing blew me away and admittedly thought the appetizer portions could have been more. The bisque was ok. The portions for the main course were great. The pasta on the main course was great. The lobster was good and fresh. I wish they had given us some melted butter or lemon with it but can’t complain. The staff was incredibly nice and the decor of the restaurant was great. I’d come to try other dishes but this first experience was solid.

We did the $100 lobster menu and it really wasn’t worth it. The first course is a lobster bisque with focaccia that was really just a broth with zero lobster meat. The second course we each had 1 of the 2 options so we could share, and the portions were so tiny with barely any lobster. So far, not a lot of lobster for the price. For dinner, the pastas were pretty good, and this is where I felt like there was actually enough lobster in the dishes. The staff was super friendly and the bar was really cool. I’d like to go back and try the regular dinner menu.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday. They have an awesome area in the back that’s nicely decorated and has a skylight. The place wasn’t busy, so you could have walked in without reservation. The vibe of the place is cool and I really liked the food too! This place also has a bar and a very cool vibe for dinner

Came on a Tuesday evening with reservations. We were seated promptly and in the back. I found the tables a bit too close to each other as you can hear the conversation next to you. We originally came for the lobster menu but it looked like a lot of food so we opted for the regular menu instead. The service was horrible. Our server didn’t come for at least 20 minutes and even when he did, no introduction, no engagement, no first bite check ups. It was a pain to try and get anyone’s attention here. Food was ok, not amazing. We ordered the octopus as an appetizer and it came with only 2 small pieces of octopus, the eggplant was fairly tasty that came with it. My boyfriend ordered the seafood linguine which was pretty good and I ordered the agnolotti cacio e Pepe. It was tasty but a bit too rich to eat the entire thing on my own. Overall, not a great experience and wouldn’t return.

Truly one of my favorite places ever in all of nyc. It’s in a super cute brownstone decorated with lowly lit lights and plants everywhere. The atmosphere is immaculate and their drinks/food is out of this world! The drinks are very creative- they have cocktails with various types of liquors and some liquors you’ve never even heard of. Their food is organically sourced and absolutely delicious. They’re also super accommodating for those who are GF or are with other restrictions. I came here for my friends engagement celebration and they were super helpful with bringing in a cake from outside and keeping it in the back until the end. The hospitality is truly unmatchable I seriously recommend everyone to come here!

When you walk down 13th st and see an awning with a giant question mark – the obvious thing to do is bring your family inside.

Alice is a hidden gem in the heart of the West Village, tucked away in the basement of a historical brownstone. The sophisticated, intimate atmosphere is the perfect setting for an unforgettable dining experience. As soon as you step inside, you are transported to a cozy and romantic space that is both elegant and welcoming.

Scene! Great spot all around: lighting, seating, color schemes, decor and music. Great ambience and different set ups throughout the brownstone basement. We sat in the covered patio entrance, the bar and the main dining room. The converted backyard room looked really cool too. I had a great wine and enjoyed a sip of their cucumber mezcal drink – although I prefer more of a bite with a mezcal cocktail. We decided on an appetizer that involved a Milanese style cheese with two artichokes grilled and then dressed with balsamic on top a bed of arugula which we enjoyed a lot. The best pasta was the fusilli with mushrooms and pistachio pesto – super rich. The potatoes were a nice side. Would definitely return!
