The Grill on the Alley

Reason for visiting: nephew's birthday dinner Date/time of visit: Sunday night, ~5:00 PM Parking: in the adjacent lot, free Party size: 7 (5 adults, 2 kids) Environment/ambience: nice, quiet. Bar is to the right of the entrance, with TVs. It's a nice place for a date or quiet dinner with the family. Service: great. Waiter was great and nice too. Food: I ordered the Prime NY Strip, medium. It came out a little more cooked but the steak was still great 🙃. The Mac N Cheese was good, as was the crab cake, truffle fries, spinach artichoke dip, and complimentary bread and butter. Also had an old fashioned, which was good too. Cost: ~$700, they didn't charge us for one of the steaks since it was a little more cooked than expected; they also didn't charge us for the cake cutting (we brought our own birthday cake)

This place was amazingly good after a long hike and beach day. We had the crab and corn fritters you cannot go wrong with this starter. It had a jalapeño sauce that accompanied the dish. Chefs kiss. Just splendid. pomodoro pasta and salmon with baked baby potatoes. Darren and Jasmine (probably spelled both of their names wrong, sorry guys) were very sweet and accommodating. Nice ambiance for dining outside in this perfect California weather. Oh and let’s not forget the cheesecake that comes with a raspberry coulis. Just deliciousss

It’s a great atmosphere in here, really comfy booths. The steak has always been amazing. Service always treats me well. Love the water fountains when you walk in. One of my favorites!

I dined here for my daughter's 17th birthday and let me tell you at first I was like wow these prices are insane however a few mins into my dinner it was absolutely 100 % worth every penny!! The food was outstanding and not to mention the waiters and staff were exceptional one of the best service I've ever received! I highly recommend this restaurant not only for the delicious food but for the incredible service my family and I received on one of the most important days of our lives!!!

This is a nice sophisticated place, have been wanting to go here for a long time so finally I did and I loved it food is delicious and they have great customer service super attentive. We ordered salad and we split it in 3 cause it is a big portion, also ordered filet mignon and it comes with one side and if you want to order others sides they also come in big portions enough to share with 2 or 3 persons.

Great place, delicious food, awesome staff. We had a wonderful time.

The ambience was very nice and staff very welcoming. The service was impeccable friendly and attentive. The drinks were delicious and just like I like them. ( a bit on the strong side. ) The steak was acceptably cooked but overly seasoned in our case. Things really fell off when we got to the seafood. Shrimp cocktail smelled fishy right when it got to the table. Scallops were chewy and flavorless. Our clam chowder seemed like it had been from the bottom of yesterday's batch.

Just went there tonight for a celebration dinner. I had the American Kobe burger and fries. I have to say that it was fabulous. Tender, finely ground beef, just enough juice and one of the best burgers that I have ever tasted. My Wife ordered the flat iron steak salad. The salad itself was well presented, fresh and an interesting assortment of veggies, including tender asparagus. The dressing was light, yet full of flavor. The blue cheese crumbles were very good quality and added just the right touch to the salad. The flat iron steak, however, though cooked perfectly, was a huge disappointment, as it tasted"wild", as if it were a poor quality of meat, not old tasting, but kind of like the taste of venison. The meal, with two glasses of ice tea and a 22% tip, came to over $73.00. I'm taking one star away for the steak, the other one is for the price vs. value received. That said, I would probably try this restaurant again, but at happy hour or if they have a lunch priced menu.
