liked the food but they ripped us off - stay away

Attended a friend's birthday party at Little Alley's and they significantly overcharged us (to the point where they added $400 bottles of wine to our bill that they agreed we did not have to meet a ridiculous minimum charge for our group)...

Bottom line is that 22 of us had appetizers and and a few drinks each and the total was $100 per person... (they tried to charge us $125 per person)...

I will, nor will any of the other 21 folks, never eat at this restaurant again. I strongly recommend against having any groups at this restaurant.

• Pros: no positive comments - stay away
• Cons: took advantage of us.

Little Alley has become one of our favorite weekend night spots. The owner (and usually the greeter at the door) remembers my husband and I by name every time we arrive. There is always a great jazz band playing in the back bar area on the weekends, and yes, while it is not a quiet place to eat, the atmosphere is great! We usually order several tapas plates to share...I highly recommend the Keftegie...delicious! Even when we sit at the bar to eat, the bartenders are very attentive to our needs. The entire staff is polite, courteous, well trained, and act like they truly enjoy what they do. Just last weekend, my husband ordered a specific drink and they happened to be out of that particular liquor, so my husband chose something else. Before we knew it, the waitress was bringing the original drink to our table. The owner had run to the store and purchased a bottle of the liquor just for us!!!! We will continue to be eaters at this great little find for many years!!!

• Pros: Great atmosphere, wonderful service, staff is polite, owner is very attentive, tapas are yummy!!!!
• Cons: Maybe location?? Tucked in a nondescript shopping center....

If I could own a restaurant, it would be just like Little Alley. The owners are there, always, from hosting to serving to bartending to just chatting with the guests. They are by far the most sincere and friendly floor staff I have EVER met- and i have worked in the restaurant industry many years. Roswell does not have a place where younger people can go without it being a TGIF or somewhere franchised and terrible. We are often still the youngest people here too- but it is still fun because the staff, music, and the older guests are always letting loose like us. The food is wonderful- not just your standard OTP menu with a filet and boring sides. The scallops with parsnip puree and the cheese plate are some of my favorites. Come by for a drink after work sometime and get a tapa- you will not be disappointed...and I might see you there.

• Pros: Atmosphere- Service- Food-
• Cons: not a diverse crowd- but I am hoping to change that
