    Food was delicious, beautiful and thoughtfully prepared. The root veggies with lentils were incredible. Ambiance was upscale but not stuffy.

    Pleasant atmosphere & good service. The portions are tiny & the food was nothing special. I wouldn’t go back or recommend.

    The food, service, general vibe at Altair is just spectacular. We were a large group of 8 for a work dinner, and everyone loved the drinks, appetizers, mains, desserts, and kept raving about the food and very attentive (but not smothering) service. Such a gem for a great meal with some real cool factor and unconventional flavors that just work. Will be coming back again!!

    Brought a group while on a work trip from Memphis. Gorgeous restaurant and the food was top notch. Ricotta Gnocchi and the Long Island Duck are at the top of the list for some of the best dishes I have eaten.
