The Grill on The Alley - A Gourmet's Retreat



The Grill on the Alley - A Gourmet's Retreat

Understated elegance dominates
the interior's black & white setup
while generating a noble vibe.
Discreet glamour fills the lofty
interior while dimmed lights
create a cozy, intimate setting
to savor delectable meals, close
great deals or indulge in sweet
romance.
Comfy black leather-topped
booths, all white walls and
impeccably arranged tables -
neatly draped with crisp white
tablecloths, sporting shiny
cutlery, crystal stemware and
starched, elaborately folded
napkins - indicate high-end table
culture, upscale culinary delights
and thorough gastronomic
perfection.
Black & White Photographs of
Hollywood's icons from the
golden 20ies tell the stories of
blissful times and glory.
Charming waiters sneak discreetly
around tables while seemingly
reading from the guest's lips -
refilling water goblets without
request - very low-key and silent.

A roped-off patio appointed with
round cast-iron tables and
matching chairs is arranged out
on the Kodak Theater passage
inviting regulars and appealing
tourists to a one-of-a-kind
Hollywood landmark dining
experience on the symbolic
Dream-Factory's grounds.
While dining on the patio a
lively background soundtrack
studded with international
chitchat and a buzz wafting
from Kodak Theater's shopping
area will infuse your dining
experience - more or less.

Although implying a black tie
hang out, the dress code is rather
casual but should be neat and
decent simultaneously. You will
spot many suit clad gentleman
when a friendly host will direct
you to your table...

Snug up in one of the cozy
booths inside or opt for a table
on the patio. Either way you
will have a perfect vantage point
on business luncheons, tourists
or dating couples. One is sure -
the patio is never going to be
quiet and cozy due to the
aforementioned visitors that
haunt the Kodak Theater every
day, all day - the patio is still
worth a shot if you don't mind
the buzz.
This lovely eatery's menu is large
and varied: luscious steaks and
chicken meat served sizzling-fresh
from the grill, crispy roasted fish
and sea food specialties, ample
options of fresh salads and grilled
veggies, and - to top it all off - a
number of hearty pasta dishes
complete the bill of fare. Opt for
the blakened Tilapia in a butter
capern sauce, served with a creamy
potato-spinach mix alongside and
garnished with pieces of aromatic
red pepers and crispy grilled
asparagus (11.25$). Or go for the
peanut-encrusted Ahi Tuna served
with grilled Zuccini and Eggplant -
it's a palate-exhilarating experience!
The cooks don't skimp at all -
serving just the right portions.
