The worst experience we’ve ever had to the point where it was shocking. Our server was terrible and rude. Took over 40 minutes for her to come back and take our dinner order. Then to top it off, the steak was over cooked to the point where I could barely cut it. Way to ruin a Valentine’s dinner.

Hostess and server were both great. It was a busy night, but hostess was able to get us a nice table and the server was very attentive. The Monday night rib special is a great deal, and the fact that it was martini Monday, made it even better.

This is our favorite restaurant in Newport. Every meal we’ve enjoyed here has been superb and they make a good old fashioned. Tried the apple dumplings for the first time—delish! You just can’t go wrong at The Alley. Hardest thing is deciding which entree to select because you each will be awesome. Good vibe, wait staff is always very attentive.
