    Perfect night for our anniversary dinner! Our waitress Allie was wonderful. The food was quick and fantastic, very reasonable prices for the quality. Drinks were delicious, the sea bass was to die for. Very cozy and romantic vibe. We will definitely be making a special trip back to the area to try again!

    We love The Alcove, great local restaurant, that we frequent regularly. Food is delicious with wide variety at reasonable costs. We usually sit at the bar and love the bar staff, especially Sydney.
