Contribute FeedbackThe Alcove has established itself as a hidden gem in the heart of Evanston, offering a delightful fusion of classic French-American cuisine. Diners rave about the seared Foie Gras, perfectly cooked rack of lamb, and the unique Grand Marnier soufflé— a rare find. While the service is often noted for its attentiveness, some guests have experienced inconsistencies, ranging from slow service to occasional missteps with orders. Nevertheless, the restaurant's charming ambiance and exquisite flavors, like the velvety corn bisque and flavorful octopus, ensure a memorable dining experience. Many patrons leave eager to return.

Our third visit, the first time during warmer weather, allowing us to enjoy their outdoor seating patio for the first time which we found quite lovely considering the proximity to the train station. But that is all a part of the allure that is Alcove. We had a wonderful dining experience paired with fantastic service. My wife enjoyed the risotto while I took my time savoring each bite of the duck. We opted not to share a dessert—my choice, not my wife's. I loved the bread pudding. I'll add this was our first night out since having our second child two months ago, and this was the perfect evening for it. Thank you
Amazing meal and service. Goat cheese cheesecake was wonderful. Lamb chops and salmon were excellent. Our server, Ellie, was fabulous. Wonderful evening. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100
