I have had the pleasure of working with the Hackinson's and their team for several years, both on the catering side as well as eating at their incredible restaurant. They never disappoint! From a business lunch to my daughter's wedding and serving over 400 people for a non-profit event, they deliver high quality every time.

One of the best fillets I've ever had in my life. The absolute best brussels sprouts I've ever eaten. If you don't leave without trying to Thoroughbred pie and salted caramel ice cream, you're not living your best life. But the kicker is it is absolutely the best customer service I have ever experienced in my life. The servers don't just have one table they all look out for everybody else's table, you will not have an empty glass and they will make sure that you have everything that you need! Highly highly highly recommend and wish there was a six-star option

My husband had fried shrimp and fries and said they were very good.I do not recommend the crab cakes. They were more like patties that were very greasy and lacked good flavor and crab.The ribeye was very good.The broccoli was also very good.The Tennessee Tea was excellent and packs a punch.The old fashion was also good.The bar tenders are excellent. Very attentive and very friendly.

Went here on a Saturday night with three other people. This is a small restaurant so small that at the time we were there which was about 5:00. They were already on a way. If you're looking for something quiet, this is not a place to go due to the volume. But it tells you something about this restaurant. The food quality, the server staff and the customer service was superb. I ordered the ribeye steak and I always get it with no seasoning or no steak butter just to tell whether they have great steaks or steak just covered up because it's poor with some seasoning. I can tell you that this is one of the better cuts that have had. I had a side dish of broccoli that was bigger than most babies heads and it was bland and needed a little bit of salt but I understand that because it was steamed tender it falls apart like a good rack of ribs. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. But be prepared to wait and it'll be worth it

First time there last night. Ordered the “fresh market fish” for $26. The drinks were delicious, however the fish smelled fishy when it was brought to the table. Others smelled the odor too. Supposed to be “sushi grade.” Started eating it and nearly choked on a pin bone in my salmon. Had to pull it out of my throat. Their response? It’s normal for “fresh” fish to have bones in it. Didn’t offer me an alternate, they ended up just charging me for the side it came with and a salad. Sat by a back door that was opened every few minutes and was freezing. Not a great experience. I would say drinks only, Brussel sprouts and salad were good, service not so much.

February 2024: Sometimes restaurants make life difficult, especially when they post pictures of dishes I’ve never had or heard of. The Alley on Main is guilty, and I was there early to be sure I was able to try the new offerings.Sat at the bar and Kailee got me set up with a water and an Einstok Icelandic White Ale…this is an exceptional beer and goes well with most any dish. I went for the new appetizer…Crab Coquille - Lump Crab. If you are a fan of crab cakes, this will BLOW YOU AWAY!!! This dish is loaded with tender crab meat, a creamy bechamel sauce, and topped with Panko bread crumbs. Just take your fork and dig in…you don’t need anything else.The Shrimp Bucco Pasta arrived and the initial smell was incredible. The components of this dish…perfectly al dente pasta, sweet red bell peppers, small asparagus sprouts, and a light wine/butter/lemon sauce merged a lot of different flavors together but adding the breaded shrimp was the crown jewel to this dish. The seasoning/coating on the shrimp really pulled together the combination of pasta, sauce, and shrimp causing one of those “OMG” moments on my palate. This pasta dish would rank in the top three pasta dishes I have enjoyed…ever. They say it took them awhile to get these dishes ready for the menu, all I can say is “well done Chef”! The service here is always exceptional and Kailee took marvelous care of me.Bottom line…this is the BEST meal I have enjoyed here at The Alley!!!Updated to 5-StarsAugust 1, 2018: I am a huge fan of raw oysters…LOVE EM!!! Now don’t for a minute believe that all oysters are the same…au contraire!!! While Gulf oysters are good there is a plethora of oysters out there to tempt and challenge your palate. One of my favorite restaurants…The Alley on Main has been touting some oyster offerings lately and I couldn’t resist. Sampled a half-dozen Rainier oysters and they were delicious. These are the type of oyster that go extremely well with a cocktail sauce heavy on the horseradish (here you add your own). To get the full flavor of these oysters putting a dollop of sauce on the oyster in the shell and slurping it all up… liquor and all…YUM!!! Honestly…a half-dozen wasn’t enough but these aren’t cheap…LOLThe many times I have dined at this place I have never tried the pasta, so I rectified that today. Went with the “The Meatball” which is a HUGE meatball that is a mixture of beef, pork, garlic, and cheese. The sauce has a solid tomato “bite” but still smooth and slightly sweet, with some chunks of tomatoes throughout the dish. What really impressed me was the pasta…perfectly “al dente” and no puddle of pasta water in the bottom of the dish. For a restaurant that touts their steaks and grill items, the pasta is a hidden gem in their menu.January 2017: Arrived at 8pm for a late night dinner and they were still pretty busy. Had a very nice dinner here and was very impressed with the food and service. You can enjoy quality food and drink in a casual atmosphere here. When the weather is warmer they have outside seating along with music. The place can get a bit loud based on the configuration of the restaurant and can be difficult to hear at times. Enjoyed an appetizer of Shrimp Cocktail – six very large shrimp with a good cocktail sauce with a nice horseradish kick. For dinner we ordered two T-Bone and one Bone-In Ribeye steaks. They were cooked to order and were very flavorful. The sides ordered were Cabernet Mushrooms, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Steamed Broccoli. Have to say all of the sides, ESPECIALLY the Broccoli was sharing size. You could have served four-people on one Broccoli side…LOL They had some good cocktail choices and the beer options were varied.I will come back…they have a varied menu and want to try some of their other offerings.
