"My husband and I celebrated his birthday at Grill on the Alley San Jose. It was such a great time for us at the restaurant. The food is outstanding, the mushroom soup is tasty, the filet mignon is juicy and perfectly cooked, and the lamb chop is flavourful. The service is overall good. Our main table waiter is super nice and professional. He knew that it was my husband's birthday so he decorated the table with some confetti, then at the end, he surprised us with a delicious cake and candle. However, there was another waiter that helped to serve our table and he was kinda not happy or he was exhausted I guess. Thus, he was lack of enthusiasm and was missing his smile at all times. Plus, when we asked for a to-go box, he cleaned all our utensils without asking if we finished or not, and at that time we were still eating like times. But honestly, I think maybe he was too tired or had a bad day so I understand. The only thing I would recommend to improve is the restroom, it would be a perfect place if the restroom was cleaner with some candle smell or scent. In short, we are so in love with the food. We will definitely come back soon in the future. Thank you"
