What people say, in short
Most commenters recommend Little Alley, and one calls it easily the best steakhouse they have been to. One diner who has eaten at the Buckhead location many times says the food has never been bad, but two commenters say it is not in the same league as other Atlanta steakhouses, and one of them points to the Roswell branch instead. Others who do not name a branch are less impressed: one was disappointed by the steaks though they liked the sides and atmosphere, one found it only okay after two visits, and one finds it inconsistent. A couple mention a dress code.
