A nice seat on the water with very medicocre food and a reservation policy that encourages open tables while people wait hours to sit.
Essentially Alleycat is a swing and a miss. The food is derivative but nicely presented. The burger was "leaky" for being medium but the fries we're excellent.
We sat at the bar due to a two hour wait (with at least 7 tables open for the 2 hours we were there)
The servers knew absolutely nothing about oysters. Simple questions about size, salinity and sweetness were met with confusion which was very disappointed.
The burger was decesnt but not cooked to orde (rarer than ordered). The shrimp spread on it was tasteless (thought they forgot it at first). The oysters were nicely presented but werent that good.
Drinks were appropriately priced.
WHY IS THEIR WAIT TWO HOURS WHEN TABLES REMAINED OPEN FOR THE ENTIRE 2 HOURS WE WERE THERE???!!!!!
The ambience is nice. It's the perfect location the type of place you'd like to see on the river.
Valet is $12
Wouldn't recommend. Might be back. Needs some work.
