The Alcove, located in Boston, Massachusetts, is known for its delicious coastal New England dishes, positive vibes, and a beautiful waterfront patio setting. The Alcove is located right next to TD Garden and North Station in Boston’s West End and is the perfect place to head to before a game or concert! The Alcove is redefining what it means to be a true neighborhood restaurant and will quickly become one of your favorite spots to frequent regularly.
The Alcove has a commitment to line-caught seafood, farm fresh vegetables, locally sourced meats and more, so you can guarantee that their dishes are just as stunning as their waterfront and sunset views. In addition, The Alcove is on the wine spectator award-winning wine list, as Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli curates the deep, thoughtful, often surprising award-winning lists, while Will Piquette shakes things up with creative and classic cocktails.
