Love this restaurant! We have never had a bad meal. Last night was particularly amazing for everyone in our party. The short ribs were incredible. The swordfish was perfect in flavor and texture with a magnificent sauce. As usual, the scallops were amazing.

Great experience with server Sari. Sit upstairs if you prefer less noise. Great lobster, oysters, huge delicious salads. Cod is excellent. Reserve ahead. Our favorite restaurant on our trip to Boston we went to lots of nice restaurants but the combination of good food and good service here and the seating upstairs with moderate noise was perfect.

I was in recently for a concert and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance was great, food presentation and taste were superb. And the service was excellent. Tom and his staff do a fantastic job making each visit feel exceptional. I have been a frequent visitor and would recommend Alcove to anyone looking for a nice night out with great food and drinks. Bravo!

We had dinner on 4th Oct and had a wonderful overall experience. The waitstaff were extremely attentive, service was quick and oh my goodness the flat-iron steak was incredible. Cooked to perfection and served beautifully. I would recommend asking for the peppercorn sauce on the side. We also had clam chowder and brown butter cornbread which were both excellent. Would highly recommend a visit to Stephanie’s.

Stiven was a phenomenal waiter. Attentive and available. Very communicative. Bakery basket was great, Lattes delicious. Food was cooked well. Loved it! We enjoyed the huevos rancheros which had a nice spice and avocado toast which included a lot of different seeds which added a nice crunch to offset the creaminess of the avocado. Would recommend!

    “Pleasantly Surprised!” I had heard this spot was under new management, so I decided to give it a try — and wow, what a difference! The atmosphere felt fresh and inviting, the staff was super friendly, and the food was way better than I remembered. We came in for the $1 oyster and half-off appetizer deal during Appy Hour and ended up staying for dinner. Everything was delicious and well presented. You can tell there's a new energy here — highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t been in a while. I’ll definitely be back!
