Alcove - Los Alamitos

A .. except the line that is out of the door! But the food is great!

It was my first time to visit the Alcove, the order was quite amazing, but when I saw Matthew Modine there (not working the counter, grateful) my head filled with the theme of the movie, “Vision Quest”, and I could find out my order. I shared the Tiger Shrimp Salad on the crab cake sandwich with my friend, both were exceptional. You have dedicated a whole section of the menu on Eggs Benedict, which awakens my interest in return. The Panini, the breakfast and otherwise also looked amazing. Also the outdoor terrace is totally charming and ingenious.

The heart of Alkove. Sit back, near the toilets. there is a table w/drawer. Leave your own little memory. my favorite must be her bride apple panini, and her burgers. Dessert is always a hard choice. I went before her entire wine shop and parking... I can see why this restaurant has won its popularity during the years.

This restaurant is a nice place to dine with an outdoor seating area and a bar inside. The prices are on the higher side, like $15 for a glass of rose. The food is tasty, but some portions are too large, like the burrito. It would be nice to have the option for a smaller portion. This restaurant doesn't offer simple, light meals, so keep that in mind.

Great service ...all I got was fries to go this time ,however I am looking forward to trying a sit down meal here next time I am in the area ! UPDATE 7/14 The food is excellent the counter service is great smiles and engaged banter overall good energy respectful crowd ! However once served and sitting down, the service seems to get lost the servers are not as attentive; as well as the (somewhat rude and disconnected lack of customer service) bussers/food runners/support staff(to servers counter)...would definitely come back when in the area, as it wasn 't a horrible or bad experience just a different one
