Editorial Review for Grill on the Alley – by Nino Marchetti
In Short
Hardwood floors, leather booth seating and white-jacketed waiters create a sophisticated ambience for romantic couples and hotel guests. Chefs in the open kitchen prepare dishes like the crispy Dungeness crab cakes or succulent ground-beef steak with thick gravy and grilled onions. A wine cellar with more than 250 offerings provides a diverse selection. Save room for the decadent fudge brownie pie, served with vanilla ice cream and topped with gooey caramel sauce and crunchy, toasted pecans.

Ambiance nice upon arrival. Super quick service as soon as we sat down, but then that slowed down quickly. Found hair in butter that came with bread. Complained, got new butter ?! After sticker shock from the menu, I expected perfection! $42.50 for small filet mignon, $61.50 for a rib eye. Average taste. Could have done better myself at home. Tummy is wrecked right now, & has been for past 45 mins. Dessert (carrot cake) was ok. Wine of choice, which was on the menu, they didn't have. Ordered second choice. It was ok. Service was ok. By no means enough to make up fo all that the food lacked.
Pros: Nice restaraunt to look at.
Cons: Price, quality of steak and poor service

The food was good, but not outstanding. Service was good. We had seafood, chicken, and steak. The chicken was not very flavorful. The other food was good. We felt that the restaurant was very overpriced.
Pros: Steak was good
Cons: over priced
