Dine In

Settle in with a thoughtfully chosen drink, from a refreshing glass of wine to a craft cocktail made for lingering over good conversation.

Begin with a selection of snacks and starters inspired by the flavors of the Midwest, with seasonal vegetables, fresh seafood, house-made pastas, and dishes designed to share.

At the heart of the menu is live-fire cooking, bringing a little smoke and a lot of character to everything from responsibly raised meats and seafood to vegetables. Our dishes are rooted in the comforting, familiar flavors of home, while leaving room for something unexpected.

Finish with a seasonal dessert and another round at the bar, then stay awhile. Alleyway Grill is made for gathering around the table, sharing a meal, and letting dinner stretch a little longer.
