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.

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.
