We had the surprise A La Carte menu, and more than once I told my partner, "This is the best thing I've ever eaten". Everything was exquisite, the service was perfect, and everyone was attentive and kind. It's a beautiful space, too! Highly recommend Glover's Alley for a wonderful fine dining experience.
