Restaurants near East High Street Historic District

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the staff. You truly made my fiancée and I’s night unforgettable. The romantic ambiance was incredibly warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a special evening. Although I can’t recall the names of my server and the hostess—who I believe was the lovely blonde lady in the rose shirt—I want you to know how much their efforts meant to us. I was so touched when she reached out earlier in the week to confirm our reservation and to inquire about how I planned to surprise my fiancée with the earrings. Knowing how anxious I was about the entire plan, it meant the world to have such thoughtful support from the team. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that our night was memorable, and it absolutely was! Our server was fantastic as well. He really knew the menu inside and out, providing wonderful suggestions to help us navigate our first experience at the restaurant. We are already looking forward to making another reservation because this place has quickly become our favorite, even surpassing Hyde Park downtown in our eyes. Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for creating such a calming and beautiful atmosphere for our Valentine’s Day dinner. We can’t wait to return soon! - Nathan H.

Really had a nice time. We were there for their Valentine Day meal so did not get to see full menu, but had a nice variety of items & all were delicious. And the rating on noise is simply because they had live music & we were just a few tables from the stage. 😄 Highly recommend & we will definitely go back.

One of the best meals we have had in quite a while. Service was GREAT food was FANTASTIC and the over all ambiance of the dining room was exactly what we were looking for. We drove up from Columbus and will do it again. I had hesitated coming to The Alcove justifying that there are so many good restaurants in Columbus, but very few that stack up to what we experienced at The Alcove. Well worth the drive and i am now disappointed in myself for waiting so long to enjoy the food here. Will be back again and again for sure.

Excellent meal, excellent service. We were seated in a timely fashion. The server was very personable. Food was served hot and cooked to order. The only issue was the desert. We ordered Key Lime pie. The crust was so hard it was nearly impossible to cut off a bite with the provided spoon. The key lime filling was a whipped cream consistency with a very distinctive aftertaste. My wife, as well as I, only took a single bite. The server noticed and offered to remove it from the bill.

Very busy, but never in a rush if we know the food is going to be delicious. Service was wonderful and food fantastic. Next time I need to get a tasty adult beverage as well with my dinner.
