Best American Restaurants in Clifton

I celebrated my anniversary here, and it was fantastic. They surprised us with a sweet anniversary card, and our waiter was attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations. The food was incredible. We got focaccia and burrata to start, ribeye and filet mignon for mains, with phenomenal Brussels sprouts. The house-made caramel gelato was the perfect ending!

We were there Saturday reservation 11 AM. They got us right to our table. They are family friendly got to see Santa with a six-year-old special-needs child. Other families were there too. Thank you for the wonderful hosts in the front, our waitress and the manager Darrell for their hospitality. If you prefer not to be around the children, the restaurant is so big. There’s lots of other quiet places to sit.

This is my 2nd visit to Alcove. They do a great job of making great food without being pretentious. The menu is varied in that you can spend a little more money, but also have a tasty sandwiches. This meal pleased all - dad with steak frites (a perfect med rare!), massive chicken sandwich and cod sandwiches for the kids, and a lovely chicken with pumpkin gnocchi for the Mrs. These were enjoyed by all. Dessert was cheesecake and chocolate cake were very good and just the right size. I don't want to forget about the "... by MadTree" part - the drinks and cocktails are anchored by MadTree craft beer as well as Sway. I went with the classic Identity Crisis and Holly Days. The kids loved their mocktails. The cocktail look great and perhaps next time I will venture that way.

Ambiance was festive. Food was exceptional. Grace was attentive to our needs. Upstairs was nice but noted some guests were a bit loud.

We met friends for a Holiday lunch and it was fabulous! The service was on spot and our server Ricolette was perfect. She was attentive and spaced our lunch out perfectly. The eggplant is one of our favorites and today was no different. The Davidson burger, tuna salad, scallops, and steak and frites were amazing as always. I highly recommend The Davidson for lunch or dinner!!
