Absolutely amazing little place! The drinks were so well balanced and the food portions are amazingly generous for the price. We got the pre-dinner prix fixe and it was perfect. Nice and chill spot out of the hustle and bustle of Times Square.

★★★★★Couples
Unusual to find a great restaurant in a hotel but that’s where Altair is hidden away. We had the hangar steak and ravioli after a sumptuous bread appetiser that our server Troy suggested. We shared the divine hazelnut tiramisu and were not disappointed. Troy’s customer service was 5*.
