Had a quick lunch at Alcove Cafe on Hillhurst Road, Los Feliz. Very pretty location.
Worth a visit for the location, but can't say we were impressed with the food - or more likely, our choices. I chose the Fish and Chips (Described as:
Fish + chips - Beer Battered Skewered Fresh Cod, Sweet Potato Fries, Pineapple Tartar Dipping Sauce. Think "carnival corndog" but it's fish!)
- big mistake, as the fish was Cod (and the texture like the Smoked Cod your mother force fed you in Australia) squeezed around a bamboo skewer and deep fried. And the chips were sweet potato chips - very sweet. But the Pineapple Tartar Sauce was nice.
The other dishes were also very 'fried' and 'cheesy'. Philly Cheesesteak Panini (
Shaved Roast Beef, Caramelized Onions, Sauteed Bell Peppers and Mushrooms, and Pepperjack Cheese with au Jus on the side)
and the Alcove Chili Dog (
Chicken-Apple Sausage topped with hearty Texan Chili and Jalapeno Jack Cheese served in a Pretzel roll with Sweet Potato Fries). But I did see someone with a nice looking salad, and they have an amazing collection of cakes.
5/10.
