The Alley was great as always. Went to dinner last night with a 6:15 reservation and got a nice booth. Shared the Prime Rib Dip and another got the Filet Tip Stroganoff and all was really good. Waitress was attentive, nice, and we had no problems all night. By the time we left the place was packed with everyone having a great time! We will be back soon.

Parking was easy, we were greeted by a very friendly hostess, we had an amazing salmon salad $22, and artichoke. Both were delicious. Service was excellent and everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend.

The Monday Night Spare Rib Special is always great! The meat was so tender it fell off the bone.

Kelsey, our server, was friendly, competent and very kind. There was an older couple at a nearby table. It was obvious that the husband (assumed) had cognitive issues. His wife(assumed) took charge and ordered for them both. Kelsey, seemed to know them, perhaps regulars, and could not be kinder and in serving them. She even cleaned up a small food mess that the gentleman caused. She was never dismissive nor patronizing. She was simply kind. Brava!!!!

This is a local place and has been around forever. Food was subpar at best. The staff were very nice and service was good.

Hadn't been there in 25 years. Thought it so-so then, but went back for old time's sake. Glad we did. We had calamari steak and a filet mignon. Both were excellent and excellent bargains as well. I had the filet - 10 oz, tender, bacon-wrapped and perfectly cooked. My wife reported the generous piece of calamari among the best she's had. And our martinis! We did't go there especially for them, but they were Tanqueray as ordered - triple hookers! - $14 apiece, an amazing bargain. Service was slightly slow, but we had the martis to savor while we waited and enjoyed taking in the regulars seated near us.
