    The Alley was great as always. Went to dinner last night with a 6:15 reservation and got a nice booth. Shared the Prime Rib Dip and another got the Filet Tip Stroganoff and all was really good. Waitress was attentive, nice, and we had no problems all night. By the time we left the place was packed with everyone having a great time! We will be back soon.

    Parking was easy, we were greeted by a very friendly hostess, we had an amazing salmon salad $22, and artichoke. Both were delicious. Service was excellent and everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend.
