   Lovely as always. Was first seated next to the restrooms/kitchens at first when several other more desirable tables were unused. A little surprised.

   Food is delicious. Service was slow although the restaurant was not busy. Ambiance was a little off. Very bright, empty, no music. It says American but the menu was very French, would be nice for some French music.

   It is the definition of hidden gem. Tucked away by the rail station and accessed through the passage way tunnel, this narrow tunnel of a restaurant provides a bunker of civility away from the hustle of beautiful downtown Evanston. Very attentive service and well prepared foods with nice cocktails and a solid albeit scant wine list, makes for a very agreeable evening. Try it! You won't be disappointed

   One of our favorite Evanston spots, up there with Campagnola and Oceanique. Outstanding food - last night we enjoyed the goat cheese tart, a long time favorite, as well as the beet salad, the grouper (nightly special) and the sea bass. All were top notch. During many previous visits we’ve also enjoyed the lamb, short rib, and steak among other good options. The wine options were fine and the service was very good. We look forward to many more enjoyable meals.

    I have never given a restaurant a 1-star review until now. We were pleasantly seated, but after ordering drinks it took 45 minutes to receive 2 beers, 1 glass of wine and a hot tea. The salads were good, but when our entrées arrived, they were all overcooked (fish and steak). My husband’s medium-rare steak was served well done. When he apologized for sending it back, they brought out a lightly seared raw steak! So much so that the dining manager even commented on it. However, no apology was given. So we took home the raw steak and cooked it the next day. For $62 I wasn’t going to leave it there! Luckily the friends we were with made the evening a joy and we ended up having a wonderful get-together, but I cannot recommend the restaurant- there are much better places to spend your money!

    Hi Susan, We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback--we review all our guests' experiences carefully to ensure we're always improving. With that said, we are very sorry to hear that your evening did not meet expectations. It sounds like the kitchen's attempt to resolve cook times with the steak did more harm than good--we will be investigating the experience you had with our manager as well. We're currently experiencing staffing challenges that have led to longer-than-usual wait times and unsatisfactory service, which we apologize for. Once again, thank you for your time and willingness to visit the Alcove.
