You must try the octopus appetizer. So tender! I'll definitely return for the food in general, excellent service and good wine selection. The octopus alone justifies another visit to the Alcove. To the chef, management and waitstaff, keep up the good work.

Great spot with above average food. The salads were great, the French onion was very average, the ambience was cool. I would definitely go back but wish they can improve on the soup a bit.
