The Lane Cove Club has been renamed and extensively refurbished. Lane Cove is set to welcome The Alcott, a premium multipurpose dining and social space opening in July. The Alcott comprises a modern Mediterranean inspired eatery, a vibrant spritz bar, and a charming outdoor dining terrace.
The name ‘The Alcott’ means ‘old cottage’ and along with the overall design is a tribute to the heritage of the existing site, which had been built on the foundation of a sandstone cottage. A nice tribute to the site’s heritage.
