    My significant other and I attended the alcove for his birthday. Everything was outstanding. We ordered 110's to drink because we typically drink cognac. It was amazing. I had the chicken cordon bleu, he had a sirloin. The waiter gifted us dessert for his birthday. We chose the chefs special, a carrot cake. Everything was really good! Will definitely be back again.

    Great food and ambience! Went there to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I would have rated them a 5 overall, but the server messed up our bill and the GM called later informing us we owed them an additional $70.

    The Chef is outstanding. The food looked wonderful as served. Beef Wellington was wonderful....the best I have ever tasted...served on a bed of asparagus! My wife's steak was delicious served with wonderful mashed potatoes The spinach salad with apples, cranberries, goat cheese, walnuts and slices of red onion with sweet dressing was outstanding. The warm Sister Shubert rolls add so muchy to the salad and main courses. We even had dessert which left us too full. The warm apple cobbler with ice cream was yummy. I also had fresh decaffinated coffee served elegantly in a cup and saucer with a silver decanter for a second cup. My wife enjoyed delicious black raspberry with chocolate ice cream. Our server, Evelyn, was delightful and we would ask for her again. The Chef deserves an award!

    As always, an excellent choice for date night! We shared the oysters on the half shell with a mignonette sauce. The Phyllo Mushroom appetizer is delicious and our go to every time! I had the Sea Bass with wontons and my husband had the Lamb with mushroom risotto and Brussels sprouts! Our waitress, Holly, was excellent! She was attentive and friendly! We always love dining at The Alcove!

    A lovely evening celebrating our daughter’s birthday. The food, service and atmosphere were all top notch. The filet mignon, salmon Oscar and butternut squash ravioli were all delicious.
