- SSarahSacramento / Sacramento Valley •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe staff was very accommodating and kind. I was there with a friend, celebrating her birthday, in a torrential downpour which caused her to be quite late for our reservation due to traffic. They assured us that it was no problem. We enjoyed the Kumamoto oysters, which were very fresh and expertly prepared. We had the zucchini sticks, which were nice and crispy, and came with a bright and delicious dipping sauce. We also ordered the cheesy plate, and were pleasantly surprised by a lovely sweet French toast-like slice of bread along with the lovely selection of cheeses and honeycomb and marmalade. For our mains, we both chose the filet, and we were not disappointed. Very flavorful, and the mushroom risotto they came with was excellent. We will definitely be coming back soon.More infoAlley & VinePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Alameda•4.3
