Chef's Station - Evanston

This place is a must do! Service Exceptional food is Amazingly Delicious�

Very warm and inviting atmosphere. Have a cocktail at the bar and then move on to have a delicious dinner. It's the kind of place that's incredibly delicious, so you'll need to order an appetizer, main and dessert. Because they're not trying to be the Olive Garden, the portions are reasonable, not overwhelming. Incredibly high quality food. A number of us had salads and were impressed. The seafood was FRESH, which is hard to do in Chicago. Cocktail menu was very impressive. Place is perfect for a business dinner, small birthday/anniversary or date night dinner. A lovely place to have an adult meal in an adult atmosphere. The staff were pleasant and only seen when you needed them, always attentive. They were very flexible as we had a large group, and they were very patient as we figured our orders out. Only knock? With a large group they kept messing up who ordered what and placed plates all over the place. Small organizational nit that did not detract.

Recently dined at The Alcove first time in person since they remodeled and changed their name. The new design is beautiful, elegant and understated. The food was excellent and the service was great as well. Added bonus not too loud so we could hear each other talk! Perfect for a special occasion, date night or just to treat yourself to a nice meal. Great location in downtown Evanston as well, and glad they are still here! We will definitely be back soon highly recommend.

The Alcove Evanston was a wonderful experience for us. The service was slow, as every other review suggested, but let's be compassionate; they may be short-staffed. Staff were courteous, professional and hardworking. The food was excellent. We will definitely return.

Exceptionally good food, classic French American prepared very well. Service is attentive but reserved in a fine dining way, and the prices are extreme reasonable for the level of food. Interior has also been updated some and the atmosphere is up to snuff.
