Service was fast, food was super yummy aside from the octopus i had which was chewy? Im not sure if octopus is normally that texture, i thought itd be more like calamari which i love. Desert was yum too. I got a free slice of flan but the their sparkler candle fizzled out before the end of the bday song which was a lil awkward lol Really cool vibe of this place, i sat on a really comfy sofa with pillows and my husband sat across from me in like a couch chair haha. Dim lighting for sure but I think it just adds to the ambiance. Also there was a cool looking bar. Maybe would go back on a weekend next time later in the evening to experience this place at its peak.

While we enjoyed our visit, I'm not sure there was anything that would specifically make me go out of my way to return. Still, it was a nice experience overall.

They definitely get busy but always make sure you feel welcomed. The guy who attends us always provides amazing service and he's very kind. Can't go without having a good conversation with the man. Never had an issue with getting my food on time. It's been busy and even then they make sure you have best service it's not a fast food so know what to expect. Best believe you will leave with a tummy full but satisfied. If your on your lunch common sense to call ahead of time and expect a wait. They want to give you fresh food like I said it's not a fast food. Can't speak for everything on the menu as I said I'm a pizza connoisseur but so far the best I've had in town and I'm not changing my mind! I love you slice of Italy. Yes the pictures I posted all separate occasions and the pictures speak for themselves. Sincerely, your regular costumer !

So I won't really go into too much detail, but I did order take out from this place and the food was awful. The garlic bread was literally a piece of cheese on French bread, and the chicken alfredo consisted of barely-cooked noodles, and hardly a lick of sauce. But the chicken was also undercooked. So not only did it taste bad, but whoever cooked my meal was also apparently trying to give me food poisoning. Really great work, guys. Anyways, let's see how long this review stays up for.

The food is always well prepared and delicious. The service is always spot on. They have a private banquet room for larger gatherings. Juliette was our fantastic server this evening, friendly and efficient. We started with a couple of escargot appetizers for the table. It comes drenched in garlic butter and topped with Parmesan cheese. The French onion soup was divine. I had the yummy Lemon drop salmon with the house rice pilaf and sautéed fresh vegetables. One of my dining companions had the Ribeye with a loaded baked potato. Another had the Filet with bleu cheese & baked potato and lastly the scrumptious lamb lollipops. Another memorable dining experience. We ended the meal with their famous Malva cake. So moist, rich and delicious. If you've never had it, it's a must try.

There was no host stand, no greeting, and no indication of what we were supposed to do. I eventually asked the bartender about our reservation. He seemed mildly annoyed that I had interrupted whatever invisible task he was doing and told us we'd have to wait for the host. So we waited. And waited. Once seated, we ordered drinks and were served warm bread with butter knives. The problem? There was no butter. Instead, there were candles heating cups of drawn garlic butter that nobody explained. The waiter described it as a powerhouse flavor. Imagine garlic butter LaCroix. Technically present, but only as a rumor. The pacing of service was glacial. Not relaxed. Not upscale. Just slow. The entire evening felt like a social experiment where everyone involved was pretending to operate a fine dining restaurant while waiting to see if customers would notice. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, which were apparently a house favorite. I sincerely hope that's no longer true. The filling was confusing enough, but someone decided to glaze them with a sweet sauce that made the entire dish taste like a dare. We took a few bites and surrendered. Then came the steaks. My fiancée ordered the filet medium rare. It arrived with the texture of warm oatmeal and was drowning beneath balsamic reduction and Gorgonzola. The steak itself was so soft and underdone it resembled a pink marshmallow more than beef. My strip steak arrived covered in gravy. Not a sauce. Gravy. To complete the experience, we both ordered baked potatoes. Because surely nobody can mess up a baked potato. We were informed that bacon and sour cream would cost an additional $2. Nothing says "premium steakhouse" quite like nickel-and-diming toppings for a baked potato. By the end of the meal, we were struggling to identify a single redeeming part of the experience. The service was slow. The food was baffling. The atmosphere felt like everyone--staff and customers alike--was participating in the same awkward experiment. Horse in the Alley desperately wants to be a fine dining destination. Unfortunately, wanting and being are two very different things. ***Our server Samantha was very sweet and even comped the stuffed mushrooms. But this was easily the worst $200 I've ever spent.

The ambiance was very chill, you could definitely study there if you wanted to (at least the around 1pm). We are from SoCal, and we will definitely keep this spot saved for when we come out here.

He is vegetarian and they were happy to accommodate his preferences. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries. The portions are very good. They brought our food to the table promptly.

Overall this is a very good place to grab a quick bite. If you're downtown, definitely give it a try.
