The Grill On The Alley San Jose

Food was okay. We ordered Oysters, Tartar, Salmon, grilled asparagus and key lime pie Tartar was average to bad. Salmon and key lime pie were good. Asparagus and Oysters really good The service an absolute disaster. What made the difference to make us never want to come back to the place There were a lot of servers but We didn’t got the drink menus after asking twice for them. We asked for two glasses of wine and appetisers came and we did not had even the wine glass on the table. We asked for the wine and the waiter came with carafes to realise glasses were not there Constant interruptions to grab things from the table way over our faces and across the whole table. Retiring the wine glass without even asking if we are done. We got interrupted at least times breaking the mood of the conversation It’s amazing how the difference of a good or bad service can affect the experience

Maitre d' was able to move us to an inside table due to a loud event in the park directly across the street grateful Our servers "J and J" were nice but failed to check on us to the point that I had to find another waiter who was tending to another table and ask him to locate our servers and ask them to check in with us. No water or other beverages for over minutes. That was honestly the only negative as the restaurant had a lovely ambience, the food was delicious, the portions were plenty, the food temperature was hot, and presentation was nice. The bread was great and the sea salted butter was a nice touch I will be back

Another great evening at the Grill. We got the table we wanted and had great service. They accommodated the vegan person with a beautiful vegetable platter! The steaks were wonderful and one person ordered an incredible seafood salad. Can hardly wait to go back

There are steak houses, and there are old world class that boosts you into another universe. While quiet, sleepy even, this place hasn't lost a step. Surf and turf and filet to die for, beyond competent cocktails, and an incredible wine list. But it all pales to the service. Not a cheap night, but always an incredible one

This is one of the best restaurant we have ever been to. The waiter was very professional. and your Bartender makes the best Lemon Drop I have ever had
