    Fun menu with emphasis on plates to share, creative use of seasonal ingredients and the pita bread is to die for. The Breaking Bread appetizer sampler is a must order. Lamb chops were divine. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive, but not overly so--made for a delicious, relaxing weekday lunch with girlfriends.

    Wines are heavily overpriced. The appetizer salads we had (quince salad and the pear/endive salad) we were mixed on. pear salad came with red radiccio, not endive. Quince salad was not very tasteful. Otherwise the entrees.....lamb and the scallops were outstanding. Ldt's not even talk about the chocolate tartelette and the beignets which were both a fabulous way to end the evening. Best part of the evening was our server, Erik, who was professional while being so friendly and a wonderful conversationalist....so enjoyable and relaxing for us not to have a stuffy server who takes no interest in the client .

    My experience at Alexander’s was outstanding in every respect. Our server Robby was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help us make our decision, and the service from the entire staff was second to none. I truly felt like a valued guest during my dinner, and never once was a need I had not instantly met. As for the food, the Hokkaido wagyu was unbelievable, and paired with the Shiga Omi wagyu was a wonderful way to get a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth steak along with something so unique and special. I highly, highly recommend others choose Alexander’s as the location for a steakhouse experience like no other. Thank you to Robby and the team for helping my wife and I celebrate our special occasion with quality service and food!
