The most amazing dining experience on the most perfect day with the greatest waitress!!
I purely came here by recommendation and didn't even know Alice Blue existed. Formerly, Shade, and now revamped and with a new Chef, they've curated the cutest hidden gem in the Heights neighborhood on 19th street.
Just the experience of a side alley way door as their main entrance brings that New York vibe at this restaurant. Cozy, clean, and warm ambience. The restaurant has a bar area towards the street side view of 19th street, they offer outdoor patio dining, booths, as well as tables. The cool blue interior and warm natural lighting really creates the perfect balance. A great brunch spot for the weekend, and also serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day.
Came here for a girls lunch, and ordered half the brunch menu:
-homemade quiche (crust made from scratch)
-frittata
-breakfast sandwich
-pulled pork tostadas
-ham+cheese croissant
-bear claw
-deviled eggs
The deviled eggs were topped with pickled mustard seeds and they were so delish! If you like sour, I'd definitely recommend this!
I'd like to RAVE about the amazing service we received though, Catherine was our server and deserves "Employee of the Month," seriously! She has what I'd like to call "Nunchi" in Korean culture. Attentive, alert, and kind! My friend brought her 2 year old son, and toddlers can be a handful but Catherine handled it so gracefully and offered water, plastic utensils, and even after my friends son threw up after almost choking on a gummy snack, she kept her composure and offered us cold and warm towels to clean up the mishap. Everything from start to finish was superb. The food was excellent and the service was excellent!
We also appreciated the quietness we got to enjoy while talking and connecting over a warm meal. Even though it was lunch time on a Saturday, the restaurant wasn't filled to the brim
With patrons and it allowed us to really be free and enjoy our time together in some peaceful and tranquil way, ironically.
Nonetheless, we will definitely go back and ask for Catherine again! She was just simply the best!
