Dom N Ali Steaks & Seafood
Reviews
I am not a local to this bar so this review will be biased. I have had 6 experiences with Dom and Ali's. I wanted to write a review since my first dine in experience 2 years ago so I have now hit my limit guys. Dom was my server that night 2 years ago, he ran down the history real quick of the restaurant with him, his sister and his family. He was friendly and told us to pick any seat past the bar area in which we did. He took our order and he conveniently upsold us on there $26 special. I am a sucker for a good meal but its not a $20 + dollar meal anywhere else especially as a special. 2 minutes later our beers were delivered and 2 minutes after that he asked us to move and said he will comp us our first beers for the troubles. I will fast forward that night, the service was very slow from then on and Dom conveniently forgot to comp us. I am not one to mention these items forgotten so shame on me for the business forgetting about our comp, slacking on our meals and future drinks once a bigger party showed up. 2nd time was a dine in, they were busy, service was terrible but we showed up when they were already busy "so our fault". Next four times were take out since dine in was not in our favor. This includes tonight. I call ahead, always am told 20 minutes in which I wait to be there "20 minutes" later. I swear they literally place the order when I get there and after I pay. They have never been busy when I picked up the food, but I manage to uncomfortably stand by the bar while locals who are well known there go in and out of the bar bumping into me and making me feel unwanted While I wait another "20-25 minutes" I get it...I am familiar to the local bar scene so I know when your not a regular you get treated different but this is why I choose take out. My friends and family joke that they will see me in 40 minutes when I do the 5 minute pickup trip to D&A's. If I know you guys want me to wait another 20 minutes il at least sit down and order a beer and a shot...more $ to you! but instead I get the "2 minutes hun" and your food will be ready every five minutes while I stand there. I've seen snatch, good movie!! I love comedies but don't need to play a scene from it every time I order take out guys. The establishment seems very friendly to locals where everybody knows your name...The bar tender and servers seem friendly and I wouldn't go back if I didn't enjoy the food. But please for the love of God be faster on your dine in service and especially on time for dine out service. I don't feel its fair to be treated like a tourist " regardless if I was" just because you don't think I have a residence off of 903, I am hoping this review helps change this issue vs. turn people away.
My husband and I dine at Dom N Alis, often. Best time to go is before 5pm. On friday nights the service is slower,but our food is always great. Wing night is our favorite.
Great staff, great food, your average beer selection with Stella and Sam Adams being at the top end of the tap list. Had a filet, it was perfect. Great selection of dinners and bar food.
Nice eatery. Friendly... Close to home. Just can not get enough of the place! Sense of humor too!
Awesome great food big portions so come hungry
