Horse In The Alley

Truly enjoyed this culinary masterpiece.I stumbled across this gem while searching for a Valentines location for my wife and I. While Valentines reservations weren’t available I was able to secure a reservation on the 10th of February.Horse in the Alley is located where Maxwell’s used to be. Immediately upon entering I was greeted by an attendant who took my name to verify my reservation. In the initial room there is a small bar and a small seating area. Very chic and fashionable.Upon seating my waitress materialized to take my drink order. Both my wife and I are sober but they have an extensive list of wines and spirits to choose from. I had ice tea while she had water. Bread and butter was delivered by the attendant.After a brief review of the menu I decided upon the rib eye, rice pilaf and vegetables while my wife opted for one of three cuts of filet, rice pilaf and vegetables.The food was delivered and in a syllable “wow.” My taste buds had known weeks of disappointment until that lovely meal graced them. Amazing.Things to note:1. The water glasses were kept full by a very active gentleman.2. The ambience is unequaled by any other steakhouse in Bakersfield.3. Casual attire appeared acceptable. However, it’s a fine dining experience so I suggest playing the part.4. The owner was mingling amongst the tables. He was both kind and amiable.Conclusion:From today forward I will be taking the wife to Horse in the Alley for our date nights when preference is steak. Indeed, I have already established my next reservation and I hope that you do as well.

One of the best places to eat! The food was excellent and service was just as good, the owners were very friendly and tooke the time to come and ask us how was everything. If you like that old fashioned steak house vibe a little Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin in the back ground this is the place to be. Not too many restaurants are like this place!

First visit and it was a special occasion. The lobster was enormous and cooked perfectly, lamb chops were excellent and the prime steak was a very generous (2 person) serving. The malva pudding for dessert was buttery and decadent. We will go back.

I had the most perfect Valentine's Day dinner at this location. We didn't even know this place was here, I'm so glad we found out!

If there’s ever a reason to give this place your business, it’s because of Matthew.
