This was my 1st visit to Alcove. I wanted a more upscale dinner experience just prior to the Celtics game that evening. Our expectations were more than met. Our 4:45pm reservation perfectly matched the 8:00pm game time. The service was excellent. Assistance with our wine choices was on point. I was worried that our menu choices were a bit slim but we settled on splitting a few appetizers, with knowledgable input from our waitress. All of our selections were tasty and of sufficient quantity.
I think the cost of our meal was appropriate. You could easily spend as much inside the TD Bank Garden with far less quality. I would say, Alcove is not the best place to bring young kids. It has total grown folks, upscale, candle lit ambience. But, by the time we left at around 6:30pm, most of the patrons were decked out in Celtics gear. This was just a cool choice for us and it made me think of just coming back to hang out whenever I plan to be in the area.
