The Fly Town Fries were stacked, flavorful, and had just the right kick , and the shrimp quesadilla was crispy, melty, and packed with flavor--definitely a must-order . Everything felt like elevated bar food done right. Drinks were on point--a chilled white Moscato paired perfectly with the meal , light, smooth, and refreshing for the vibe. The crowd was lively, diverse, and really added to the experience--this is definitely a social spot.

The service was very slow even with a mostly empty restaurant. A few mistakes and undereducated about allergies. The portions can't be tiny, prices high and yet lacking substantially in taste. They need to step up the taste game or lower the prices or increase the size. Otherwise, I think they'll end up folding pretty quickly. I was surprised to see the head chef is the same as Cork and Flame in Evans as that restaurant is well managed and the food stands out. I know he's capable of better but we won't be back until there is some obvious signs of improvement.

Our server checked on us often, five stars for service. Food was served immediately. For me, the flavor was just okay, high score for the food plating. It's an Asian restaurant, so, it doesn't really specialize in a particular Asian cuisine, so, if you're unsure if you want the Japanese flair and still have that Chinese inspired fried rice or the rangoon, available, this is your place. They have a gender neutral bathroom and this restaurant has direct access to the next taco restaurant which the share bathrooms with.

Seated 5people just after 1(near opening), with no wait. The food came out hot and fresh and tasty. The least favorite item was the steak bites only because they were thin, tough and not tender. Our favorites were the Brisket hash and we added a waffle that was simply amazing. Very flavorful. We had shrimp and grits, French toast, bacon and eggs. All of the above were flavorful and delicious. We had the Sky Bistro Mimosa Carafe, it was good and strong. Parking is a pain at this location since the nearest parking garage is closed.

I was especially excited about the deep fried onions with a special dipping sauce. I like the salsa well I asked for more of it to go with my egg fried rice. I also had the four skewers of steak and it was very tender and I use the special dipping sauce for that as well. Desserts were very interesting. Some people had mango ginger beignets. They were certainly interesting and different. I had strawberry beignets. They had cream in the center and I will include photos. Also, a special note was the dragon fruit Mojito a cocktail that I had never had before, and it had some leaves of mint added which made it even more interesting. I will definitely order this again The decor has been remodeled. It's very nice. Our server did an excellent job as well.

My wife and I recently tried Alley Street Eats, a new Pan Asian restaurant on Rosewood Drive near…read morethe intersection of Garners Ferry Rd/Devine. The restaurant is located in a building that has previously housed a number of different restaurants, more recently a Eric's San Jose. We tried a variety of small plates that had a dim sum quality to them: Bulgogi Kimchi Fries; Sichuan Wontons; Beef Bulgogi Bao; Gochujang Crispy Chicken Bao; Shrimp Toast; and Kimchi Egg Fried Rice. Everything was delicious except the Fried Rice which was was disappointing. The Bao was outstanding as were both the Wontons and the Fries. But the highlight was the Shrimp Toast which may not be a regular menu item but was available this evening that we dined there. The decor is attractive with a lot of Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Parking can prove to be an issue as has it has been the past with previous restaurants in that spot. It appeared that workers parked in a lot of the spots behind the restaurant which limits where customers can park. Fortunately, there is a bank beside the restaurant, so customers can use that lot as well. We were impressed with Alley Street Eats and will be returning soon!

The rotating cocktails are where I feel that the quality has started to slip in the past year or two. The last few times I've been I haven't particularly enjoyed my drinks, which sucks because the vibe and service here are great. It's not like I'm ordering anything off menu, just the drinks on menu that use base liquors that aren't bourbon. I brought my family here this weekend and felt a little disappointed and embarrassed at the quality of the drinks for the price. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Bourbon is good at what they're named after, but everything else is just.... Eh.
