    We went to Alcove with another couple after a show. We had an odd experience when we arrived for our 7:00 reservation and the hostess just handed us four menus and told us to find a table. Our server Drew made up for the service shortcoming by being very friendly and attentive, and doing a great job with food and drink recommendations. Two of us ordered the Crispy Tofu dinner and thought it was excellent. The Smashburger was also very good, while the Flaming Hot Polenta appetizer was just OK.

    Our lunch selections were great. All three in our party ordered something different and we were all pleased with our selection. Mahi Mahi sandwich, smoked salmon sandwich, and the Dirty French are great lunch choices. Of course, the meal would not be complete without the chocolate pudding! It is a great place to eat before the opera, since they do have an opera menu and guarantee you to be on time in Music Hall!
