San Jose Restaurant Guide

Reminiscent of the dinner clubs of the 1940s, the warm and inviting ambience takes diners back to Rat Pack days. Hardwood floors, white table clothes, leather booths and white-jacketed waiters create a truly unique dining experience. The knowledgeable, friendly staff will guide you through the 500-plus wine offerings and extensive menu featuring Kobe Beef, USDA Prime Steaks, Fresh Seafood and American classics like Braised Short Ribs and Chicken Pot Pie.

Modeled after the renowned grills of New York, Chicago and San Francisco, The Grill on the Alley has sought to maintain the tradition of those fine old establishments by offering genuine timeless cuisine and attentive service in a familiar, dignified atmosphere.

The Grill on the Alley in San Jose was opened in 1998. Led by several years experience, General Manager and Wine Director Philippe Azoulay paves the way in fine dining in downtown San Jose. The Grill on the Alley continually strives for perfection, mixed with an ongoing effort to create new and exciting promotions for downtown diners.

Located on the floor level of the Fairmont Hotel, The Grill on the Alley is located within walking distance of the McEnery Convention Center, downtown hotels, venues, bars and theaters. Parking available at the Fairmont Hotel (upon availability), the Fairmont Plaza (beneath the Knight Ridder building) or at selected downtown lots.
