   Absolutely wonderful dining experience. We had the Weekend Brunch. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive and helpful throughout the meal. Our entrees were delicious- pancakes stuffed with ricotta and grilled cheese with avocado on sourdough. We really enjoyed our time.

   Do like the restaurant and it was very busy so understood slow service. I ordered a second glass of wine. I still had 1/3 left to go but when my friend ordered a 2nd I did, too, to save the server a second trip. Plus it was taking time to be served. Anyway, she came back immediately and poured as if it my glass was empty. I felt I paid $15.00 for a $10 pour. I think that is something servers should be mindful of. The food was great and the server was friendly. It is a very nice restaurant.

    Lovely restaurant. Perfect for a bite to eat after work or before the game. Love that its tucked away off the beaten path, but not too far that it feels inaccessible. We had a great time. Service was great. Decor beautiful. Decor, glassware, furniture was dynamic. Enjoyed the view of the Zakim while not being in traffic. Thank you for your hospitality. Next time I’m just going for the 1/2 chicken. The chicken I had on the salad that I ordered was next dimension delicious.

    Alcove has a beautiful location with outdoor seating waterside. While the staff were very friendly and kind, service was on the slow side and the food took a while longer than we'd expect since the restaurant wasn't full. BUT we had a lovely time in a nice environment.

    Came for brunch on a Sunday at 11. Place was empty & I believe there was only one other table that even came in while there. Good meal, good service, & next to the garden.

    Casual, warm and cozy. The food is exceptional but low key. Perfectly seasoned and tender. Service gracious and attentive without hovering. Went with my son prior to the Celtics, want to visit with my husband for date nights. Was jealous of the obvious " regulars" who had coveted spots for food and and drinks at the bar. The Van Trapp IPA, the 1/2 chicken ( have never had a more tender or juicy/ perfectly charred bird) plus the shishito peppers appetizer, did not disappoint! Plus, all within a minutes walk from the garden with views of the Zakim Bridge. What a gem! Loved it!!

    Ambiance and location to TD Garden is amazing. Cocktail and wine list is very good. The appetizers are all really great, but the entrees fall short. Service is spotty, but that seems to be common everywhere these days. You’re not going to be blown away, but it’s decent.

    Before booking, we were very excited about the idea of having Christmas dinner at Alcove. Tge reviews were reasonably good and the Christmas menu available on their website was very inviting. We had a reservation for 7:20pm and arrived 10min earlier. We were seated in a high table next to the bar, where the music was pretty loud. 15min in and nobody hasn't still come to our tables to get at least our drinks order. When someone finally came we were informed that the Christmas menu wasn't available anymore - disappointing. Since their casual menu wasn't very interesting for a Christmas dinner we decided to leave but not without voicing our disappointment to the waiter at the front desk. We said it was a bit sad that the menu was sold out and she said it was only available until 7:25pm? Note: on the website they said the Christmas menu would be available from 12pm to 11pm. And if only someone hadn't taken too long to serve our table....

    Me gustó todo excepto el loop de la música, se repetía mucho. Resalto la deliciosa comida, el cordero delicioso y el postre (poched pear), también la atención de Kevin. Siempre es bueno un restaurante con personal bilingüe como él. Fue súper amable.

    Expensive food that didn’t taste anything special. I have eaten better food at any chain (such like Applebee's) for half the price. Don’t recommend.

    AlcoveResponded on December 27, 2022Hello Nondas It is very unfortunate we did not meet your expectations. Being open on Christmas is very important to us, we want to give people an option to dine but also make people happy for being with us on a holiday.

    Went there on Christmas Day with a reservation. It took over an hour for a salad, kids Mac & Cheese and a burger. I ordered a medium burger, it was more like well done and had been sitting under a heat lamp. I didn’t dare send it back after waiting an hour. The overall kitchen and bar seemed slow with processing orders. I should have just eaten inside TD Garden. It would have cost less, tasted better and been a lot faster.

    We always dine here before Celtics games, booked a 6pm reservation and by 7:15pm the food still didn’t come so we left in order to get into the game in time for 7:30pm tipoff. First disappointed experience at Alcove, I know they can do better.

    Alcove is such a unique experience. It’s got beautiful views, and you get to eat food from one of the best and most respected chefs Boston has ever had, in a casual setting at a price point far below what you’d pay for equal food elsewhere. And there is something for everyone, including kids, from elevated and creative Italian to the best house made chicken fingers you’ve ever had. The staff are kind and welcoming. Exceptional cocktail program and wines selection, too. If you don’t like Alcove, IDk, man, I’m out of suggestions.

    Wonderful spot . they allowed us to push our reservation 30 min due to traffic. The place was dimly lit for a nice evening dinner with friends . the pan seared trout was cooked perfectly! The service was on point . never looked for our waitress she made sure to check in often. My wife and I have now been here 3 times and have loved it each time.
