Reviews Of The Alcove Restaurant & Lounge

This place is absolutely stunning!! It has a beautiful ambience that just can't be described with words it's a definite must go here.

I always enjoy The Alcove during my trips to Mount Vernon. Recently, I had an extended stay and did meal carry out for a consecutive week. The food was great as usual, but what exceeded my expectation was the Covid-19 response plan. The greeter, serving staff and bartender wore masks. They offered masks if you needed one and supplied hand sanitizer. Social distancing was enforced. The service was very good and extra effort was made to keep patrons feel safe. I only wish it would have been possible to sit outside on bistro tables. Seems like it could be viable before winter to enjoy the full service of this great, local restaurant.

We have for several years now enjoyed the Oysters Rockefeller at The Alcove. However, last night we were very disappointed in the changed recipe. It seemed like a spoon of creamed spinach was just placed on the oysters, with no butter, seasonings, onion, hot sauce, or Parmesan cheese. They were bland and certainly not what we were expecting. There was also a little sand in several of the oysters. The rest of our dinner and drinks were delicious and service was top notch. Please revisit your recipe for the Oysters Rockefeller.

Well let's say. Not very impressed. Service was great. Just perfect. The food not so much. I'll spend money for something good. This place is overpriced. Got the prime rib. Was very dry and blue cheese topping was bland. Same as the pork chops. Website says still have tomahawk. Get there and haven't had it for awhile. First trip there will probably be the last. Not saying its that bad just let us down.
