The atmosphere is so relaxing and the food is awesome. Plus your kids can bowl while you enjoy your company.

As always the food and service was excellent with a wonderful pianist and nice atmosphere the Alley never lets us down.

Poor service, food took forever and they weren't even busy. Steak was ok. Ok is never how I want to describe a steak.

We had to be at a 6PM concert and drove in to town. If I hadn't looked at the web, I would never have gone it. The only real eye catcher on the street says Bowling Alley. We went in and the alley was new and clean, and the restaurant was upstairs. Wee walked up and it was immediately apparent somebody knew what they were doing with wood, wire ,contrast, and top floor of original brick with a bar and small stage. The waitress happened to be headed to grad school in oboe—which means she is into details. We told her of our time constraint and we were out on time, but also had a chance to dance to the Jazz Standards being played live. Murray? Who knew?

The service was very very slow. We had children with us and it was hard to keep them happy while waiting on our meal. The food was delicious. I was disappointed that Todd took so many breaks or it seemed so - maybe bc the service was slow.

I thought the flavor of the prime ribeye left a bit to be desired. It was a good cut of meat, but I tasted a bit more char than steak. Maybe it was a seasoning problem, though I'm not sure. The steak I had the last time I was there almost 2 years ago was sublime, but I just couldn't say that about this one.

Glass had a chip on it - had to send drink back. One of the meals had shells still on the shrimp - it was a pasta meal. Ribeye was grizzly. Filet was good.

Steaks were delicious and cream spinach is a must have. Wonderful atmosphere with piano/singing made for a great evening. Lindsay was our waitress and she was THE best!! Will request her when we dine there, again.

We are regulars. The food is always good. We love when Todd Hill is performing and Matt is a great server. Beautiful atmosphere.

Was celebrating 60th birthday and did not get a greeting or a comp dessert, ordered a dessert, received our check before the dessert waited over 10 minutes ,no dessert, complained and they removed the price for 2 desserts when we only ordered one. Then we left the building only to find that someone blocked us in the parking lot!!! Waited for over 15 minutes before whomever moved their car, they didn't even tell anyone. Enough!
The Alley Steakhouse was a nice surprise, even though it came highly recommended by friends. It was fabulous! Don't go if you are in a hurry or if you don't enjoy paying for excellent food! It was a dining experience! Our Filet Mignon was soooo good. Best I've had in many years. And my husband, Kim, who doesn't really like steak, loved his filet as well! Our waiter, Matt, was fantastic and we had a great time with him. The dinner music was provided by Todd Hill, part of a three piece trio playing old favorites. Very enjoyable and perfect for a relaxing dinner out. We won't be going there frequently due to the prices, but for a special night out, I highly recommend The Alley! My cocktail was a special for the occasion called the Love Potion #9!

Very enjoyable evening overall. Service was slow, we got our app just before our main course, and the app was cold and not very good. We had the spinach and artichoke dip with chips. We did not eat our app since our main course had already arrived. The main course was great and very good, we had the filet and ribeye. AS stated overall the evening, meal, atmosphere was great and we will go back, but if any improvement could be made it would be in the service area,
Things was our first visit. The ambience was great, the wait staff fantastic, the food delicious! But the time it took to serve our main dish was slow. That's why I'm giving them a 4 for total experience. That being said, we didn't mind because we were able to visit, enjoy the live dinner music and just relax. And, we will definitely be back! Kudos to Matt, our waiter. He wad great!

We waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for food. Steak (Med. rare) was charred to the point of tasting terrible. Surf option scallops were tough and cold. We were sat too close to the piano and we're unable to enjoy conversation over dinner. This was the second and last time we will visit the Alley. We went when they first opened and attributed the negative experience to the restaurant being newly opened. Our tab was $147.00 for two people, Cocktails included.
We come here every Valentine's Day. And every single time we LOVE it. The food is always delicious and the service is prompt but not overly hovering and it's perfect for our big “treat yourself” date night!
