My friends and I enjoyed lunch today at the Alcove. Only one of us had been there before and the…read morerest were pleasantly surprised. The decor is absolutely lovely, especially the chandeliers and wall coverings. The tables had white linens and the booths were very comfortable, elegant and not old looking. The hostess who seated us had worked there for 21 years. She was very professional and proud of the restaurant. Our server, Terrence, was very pleasant and efficient and made us feel welcome. I ordered the lamb burger and fries. The burger was moist and delicious, the fries yummy. Everyone at our table enjoyed their lunch. Someone who I assume was the manager, stopped by to see how we were enjoying our meal. We all enjoyed the experience and are looking for reasons to drive back to Mt Vernon to visit the Alcove. What a find!

We decided to try the whipped burrata, meatballs, steak skewers, Caesar salad, and a bianco pizza. Everything was amazing! They have so many good choices that it was difficult to decide.

It was so thin on toppings I could see the sauce and the crust through the toppings. When I opened the box, some of it was stuck to the lid and the lid was closed with part of the pizza stuck in it. The owner told me they can't put that much on a what he called a 6 in. The lady on the phone said it was a 7 in. I bought the same kind from Pizza Cottage, and it was packed with toppings I could not see through it. I even took pictures of it to show people the difference. The owner never offered my money back or a replacement, which I wouldn't except a replacement if he did. But it would have been nice if they would have at least acknowledged it. I guess the person making it did a bad job or having a bad day, and they want to say it's my problem. Their owning up to what was obviously a bad pizza for a first-time customer was not very professional.

No need for black tie attire, but don't show up in flipflops and crocs, either. Limited indoor seating. Quaint, small rooms with a bed-and-breakfast feel. Not quite modern but not quite dated, either. Very cozy. A nice option to treat the family (or steakhouse-loving grandparents) when they're visiting Gambier! A good (but pricy) place to stay for reunion weekend or graduation, as well.

We all had burgers and fires. Bacon jam was delicious on the burgers. They all came out hot and fresh in a timely manner. Beer and wine were all cold. The only real problem I had through your visit was a female bartender and an older man in the kitchen. Both he were very rude telling me to get out of the way when the food was coming out. I was playing darts and was clearly out of the way in the mini hallway and clear from the swinging door. Both seemed to take issue with where I chose to stand and couldn't help but say more about it. Very rude and I expect never to be talked to that way by anyone. I told them this is my first time here and if they would like to be rude, it can be my last. I was not happy. If you've been here you know the small area where the kitchen and the darts are and under stand. All in all, I enjoyed our experience and so did my wife and our friends, despite the two rude individuals. Thankfully the blonde female bartender was very polite after that event. Guess we I'll see how the tip goes on a $200 bill.
