| - After reading thorough dozens and dozens of Winterlicious menus, a friend and I chose Alleycatz for our long overdue get together. We walked in and liked the atmosphere, but once we met the hostess, my opinion changed.
The story was that my friend booked our reservation online (through the restaurant website mind you), and the hostess freaked out at us. Telling us that they were booked solidly for two weeks, and that we were SOL. We protested and she said to take with Dine.TO about the reservation. She was very rude about the whole situation. We calmly told her we'd wait to see if something came up for us. Ten minutes later, we had a table.
We both ordered the soup, chicken and each had different deserts. The soup beat our drinks orders, and while I found mine to be a bit unevenly heated, it was just okay tomato soup. Then they brought our food out just as my friend was still finishing her soup, some mix up in the kitchen, but it made me feel like they were rushing us out. The chicken was over done, the sauce they had with it was kinda weird, (I kept tasting mint in the sauce). The sweet potato mash was okay, but you can't really screw that up.
Desert was good, I had the brownie, but my friends Tiramusu was kinda blah.
However, we will say that the two bright spots were two male busboys/waiters. One graciously showed us to our seats like we were VIPs and the guy who brough our meals was funny and nice.
We left the bar with a shrug, it was okay, but we'll never do it again.
BE WARNED WINTERLICIOUS FANS!
