Alcove is our new favorite restaurant! From the excellent food to the serene elegant ambience - this is a venue that provides a superb dining experience. The low noise level and quiet music is a welcome factor for a great evening of conversation and fine dining. Additionally, the prices are reasonable for the upscale menu.

I've eaten here several times, and every time is a great experience. The menu has a wide variety of delicious dishes, and the servers are always great - engaging, fast, and kind. I love that the menu notes whether items are vegan, gluten-free, etc. And the food is delicious - both the entrees and the desserts!

The Homestead Room offers old school charm and elegance, with a warmth and coziness that make this a perfect choice to spend a relaxing and comfort food dinner, lunch, or breakfast. Service is good, although understaffed; meals were high quality, tasty, and worth the wait.
