We went for a quick brunch before an exhibit and everything on the menu looked so good. We had the breakfast platter, yogurt bowl and bacon and it did not disappoint!

Our visit to Altair was truly exceptional. The staff was remarkably kind and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The drinks were exquisite—each one was a delightful experience. We did encounter a minor issue with our salad being slightly overdressed, but the manager addressed it promptly and provided us with a new one that was outstanding. It is commendable to witness such attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. We look forward to returning for another wonderful experience. I highly recommend Altair!

My second dining experience at Altair was just as amazing as the first! The food was super tasty, and the winter cocktails were delicious and fun, especially the red beets that were set on fire! Altair has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city. I can’t recommend it enough!

The food was wonderful. Every dish was executed perfectly between cook technique and taste. The service was of an even higher quality. The staff were wonderful and smiling was really giving their all to make it a wonderful experience. They have a server named Grace who was extremely energetic and bubbly. She made the time at our table, easy smooth and very enjoyable. I would recommend this to anybody trying to show off for a loved one family member or significant other 10 out of 10 love this restaurant.
