Love this location, mostly because of its location and views. Located in the Flats right on the river, Alley Cat provides lunch and dinner views that are hard to rival anywhere else in Cleveland. Heck, even LeBron James loves this place enough to flash the championship trophy here from the upstairs balcony.
The menu is somewhat expected, with a focus on their oysters. Personally, I am not an oyster fan, but rather a fish and other seafood fan. I really enjoyed the Grouper Cheeks, even though they may be on the pricier side. Their fish sandwich is one of their least expensive items (around $15 or so) that many people actually enjoy also. But as expected, couple a dish here with a drink or an appetizer and you get yourself a pretty heavy bill.
I really think this place is worth checking out because of the views alone. The food is pretty good, and I have had no issues with service on the several occasions I dined here. I have showed up both with a reservation and without, and each time have had no issues whatsoever. Give this place a shot and enjoy the experience!
