First time Alley Cat diner. Based upon the reviews here and through the PD, we needed to give the place a try.
We started at a moderate pace ordering the fish sandwich and lobster roll. Both were disappointing. The bun for the lobster roll was soggy and fell apart. The fish sandwich was overwhelmed by the slaw and cilantro making every bite stringy and unappealing.
The service was good, too good. We sat, ordered our drinks and food and were finished in about 35 minutes. The food came out about 10 minutes from the time we ordered. Which was surprisingly fast given the place was packed. For a draft, one glass of wine and two sandwiches we paid $58 and were in and out in 45.
I felt three stars was generous and if not for the hard working wait staff could justify two.
