Saint Michael's Alley is a highly recommended restaurant known for its excellent food, variety of options, and exceptional service. The atmosphere is quiet and suitable for all ages, making it a great spot for families and celebrations. The restaurant is also wheelchair accessible and has a spacious interior. The menu features a range of dishes, including the popular rack of lamb, seafood pasta, and unique appetizers like mussels. Guests often enjoy the lovely patio on a beautiful evening and find the staff to be prompt, gracious, and knowledgeable. The seafood pasta, scallop special served with roasted vegetables and soba noodles, and lemon semifreddo are highlights, with many praising the overall experience. While the bread may sometimes be sub-par, the pork chop is consistently excellent. Visitors appreciate the reasonable wine prices, which are only a slight increase over retail, offering great value. The restaurant is a favorite for repeat visits, with guests noting friendly service and delicious dishes like sea bass, gnocchi, and mushroom cakes. The duck can be overcooked, but the staff is attentive and accommodating. Overall, visitors leave feeling welcomed and satisfied, often planning to return.
