He knew the menu inside and out, gave excellent recommendations, and checked in just the right amount without ever being intrusive.

You can tell Max takes pride in what he does. His positive energy, professionalism, and attention to detail truly elevated our meal. Great service like this is hard to find, and Max absolutely nailed it. We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for him again!“

“We love the Alley Restaurant, my husband and I walk there quite frequently because we are in the neighborhood. The food and service is always superb. The only thing we have a problem with is the noise level. We don't like to take visitors there because we cannot hear each other talk, but we love going there by ourselves and enjoy our conversations. I had the prime rib special and it was wonderful, cooked just toperfection.“

“We came in an hour or so after they opened on a Friday and there was only one other table occupied.

The food was amazing!!! We ordered the spicy cajun edemame, crispy pork, and tom yum seafood fried rice. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared! Great job to the chefs!

The only thing lacking was the service, but the staff was young, but I would venture to guess that they will learn and the service will get better in time.

We will definitely be returning soon and recommend giving them a try!“
