Alexander’s is always my favorite place to bring family and friends when they’re visiting or for special occasions. The food and ambience are amazing! The pink penne pasta is always my go-to, but I don’t think you could go wrong with getting anything else.

Everything was great, as usual! The only thing was that the live musicians were way too loud. We had 6 at a table and we couldn’t hear each other speaking. We were having to yell which was unpleasant. Also, the music style was unfortunately kinda odd. Karaoke style covers of 80’s songs. A nice acoustic Spanish guitar would have been much more enjoyable. We were excited to hear they were going to have live music at our brunch, then really wished it would stop after a few very loud and awkward songs. Hate to say this because we really love the restaurant and the food!!
