Last minute seated our large party. Gave us all separate checks. Treated us like royalty. Tastey food reasonable price some not reasonable but enough to make it comfortable

Went to the Grill on the Alley in San Jose for my birthday. {;ve been there several times before. Besides great food, the service is consistently excellent. My wife had the Canadian Lobster and I had the braised short ribs. My wife lobster was cooked perfectly. My short ribs are probably the least expensive thing on the menu, but for... More

I had a great experience at The Grill on the Alley. I had reservations, but arrived about 25 minutes early. This did not phase the staff at all. I offered to wait, but my party was quickly seated. The servers were extremely friendly, and also helpful with offering suggestions. The atmosphere was nice. I was a little concerned because we... More

The restaurant is good for business dinners, dates and it's always nicely decorated... More

Both dishes were prepared very nicely, hot and fresh. My colleague had a filet mignon that was also very well prepared and tasted great. We had drinks but no dessert. The dinner was... More

We were a large party and all ate steaks. Everyone was enthusiastic about theirs. The sides were delicious. Afterwards the chocolate brownie with ice cream dessert was incredible. Dave, our waiter was attentive and lively.
