Alison

Oh so delicious food! Shared the tator tots with cheese anxiety chorizo followed by the kale salad and the chilaquiles.

We’ve been coming to Alison at least once every two weeks for the last 3 years, it’s the best spot in the neighborhood! Great ambiance, drinks, and food is always well done. Lots of fun flavors and I must have 10 favorite dishes. The staff and service is always very warm!

An absolutely great evening in an amazing restaurant! The food is prepared perfectly and the chef delivers with fresh menu items that are seasoned impeccably. The wait staff is thoughtful and attentive and the vibe is lively and comfortable.

Love coming here for happy hour oysters and trying other hh items Unfortunately i tried their oldbay fries and there was too much seasoning overally salty

Really nice little place with good vibes, food and service. They need to do something to block the wind from the outside every time the door opens and it would be great.

Delightful! We came here on a whim before our trip to the Museum of the History of New York, and it was great. The manager on the floor Vladimir welcomed us warmly and our server Sayyid was fun and kind and prompt. We wanted a dozen oysters and a bottle of wine to start and it was 2:52, and he asked “are you starving? If you wait eight minutes we can do the happy hour combo and save you some money.” Totally unprompted and so kind!! We went for that, along with the mushroom croquettes and calamari to begin, then got the chicken schnitzel and Mussels PEI in white wine sauce as entrees. The calamari was tasty and crunchy, and not overcooked, and the sauces they came with were killer. The mushroom croquettes were delightful and, again, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The oysters from Martha’s Vineyard were fresh and light, but unfortunately a few had a little shell left over that I crunched on. Totally forgivable though as it was only two. As for entrees, the schnitzel was gorgeous: light golden brown, piping hot and ultra tender with a lovely breading and super buttery mashed potatoes. The mussels came cooked wonderfully and the sourdough was crunchy and fresh, but we needed more white wine sauce to go with and when we asked we were given it without a fuss! We didn’t think we has room for dessert but Sayyid brought over the espresso flan and we both fell in love and found another stomach. Creamy, rich, balanced with a great moist texture and just fantastic all around. I finished with a tasty mocha and we called it a day. What an absolute pleasure. I have a feeling this is a neighborhood gem, and deserves to be much busier. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the decor simple and comfortable, and a great team to back it up. If we’re back in the area we definitely will be stopping in again! *PLEASE DISREGARD MY HORRID PICTURES I FORGOT TO TAKE THEM BEFORE WE’D EATEN SOME OF OUR FOOD*

I went to Alison recently and my husband and I ordered 2 glasses of the same white wine. We got our glasses and took a sip and when I put my glass down I noticed there were 2 two dead flies in mine. It grossed me out!! My husband's didn't have any dead flies in his, but who knows if he drank one or if I drank one during that first sip. We let our server know and she brought me a new glass quickly. A manager didn't come over to apologize and I still had to pay for the glass of wine. The food was good but the dead flies and lack of attention to my experience wasn't the best and not sure I'll want to go back.

I was finally able to come here after they were closed for Labor day weekend the last time I tried visiting. Me and my group were sat immediately after we mentioned we had reservations. The server came quickly and took our order, giving us suggestions of what she found good, which was helpful. The food came out at lightning speed, which was amazing, almost like they had it ready in the back. Now the food was amazing the only thing that we had a problem with was that one of the items we ordered never came out but we weren't charged for it, we just hoped the server heard what we had ordered because she nodded yes to everything we asked for. If you go to Alison do have their birrira, it was delicious! Also try to go early because even for a Thursday evening it was very packed. If you don't like waiting don't go late. Alison is a solid place to go and eat with a group if you want a nice place in the barrio to go to.

What a lovely little restaurant. We spent several hours there on a rainy Saturday evening. The good was delicious. The Five onion soup was probably my favorite because it was rich without being overwhelming but the fries were delicious also. The oyster and wine deal is incredible and the oysters were so fresh and delicate. Even the cauliflower was delightful. The music was perfect and just the right volume so we could chat without feeling like we were yelling. Also the Negroni was delicious
