The restaurant was quite dimly lit; the people at the next table had to use their phone flashlights to read the menu. The stuffed portobello mushroom appetizer was burnt and overly salty, and the salad was swimming in water. My wife and I ordered a 16oz prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes. I noticed a $4.50 sharing fee, yet they didn't even split the plate for us. The participation fee was mentioned under the combo plate, but the waitress stated it applied to the entire menu, even though it wasn't clearly indicated. The carpet leading to the cellar, where the restaurant is located, looked like it hadn't been cleaned in 20 years, which might explain why the place was so dark. I made reservat...
For our main course, my wife and I shared a 16 oz prime rib along with cheesy garlic potatoes. The potatoes were served in a separate dish, and we weren't provided with a spoon to serve them. To add to our frustration, we were charged a $4.50 sharing fee, yet they didn't even split the plate for us. Although the fee was listed under the combo platter section, the waitress claimed it applied to the entire menu, which was confusing since it wasn’t clearly stated.
The carpet leading to the basement (where the restaurant is situated) appeared to have gone uncleaned for 20 years, which might explain their choice of keeping the place so dim. I had made a reservation for my wife's birthday and men...
Saturday night at 6:45pm and they weren’t busy. We were seated a few minutes after arriving. Our waiter was quick to greet us. We ordered the artichoke cheese dip. It was ok. Soups and salads came out timely after. Onion soup was great. Then we waited a long time for our meals. Too long for a place that wasn’t busy. When our meals were finally brought out, the steaks were cooked per order but the potatoes sides weren’t hot. Overall the food was good.
This restaurant is hit or miss. the first time I dined here the service was good and the food was delicious. this time going back the service was lacking our waiter took his sweet time to bring out our meal after we had an appetizer. He said he didn't know why the kitchen wasn't cooking the food faster. The restaurant wasn't even full it wasn't that busy lots of empty tables. Be awhile before I go back.

The prices were somewhat steep for a Monday night, but the food was delicious. I wish they offered an option to buy just one kabob instead of two, as that would have been more reasonable. It was a bit too much for us to eat in one sitting. My two kids and I ended up having the leftover meat for dinner the following day.
We were promptly seated and welcomed by our server. All the food and drinks arrived quickly and at the right temperature. However, the lobster was slightly overcooked, as were the special potatoes. On the other hand, the steaks were cooked to perfection.
Are server was Roberto. Service was excellent. Had Sunday special stuffed pork chops. 3 large pork chops. My wife had the bar b que chicken also large portion. Both dinners very good. Been to Al's before. Also will ask for Roberto for server
Al’s use to be a great value, but unfortunately they missed the mark. Ambience missing and food quality was not up to the cost.

Eating was very good, coming for 20 years and the service was great.
Pretty good pork chops with mixed vegetables and black bean soup.
