The training of staff here is nothing short of amazing. Wonderful service and food and good variety. Great looking Bar area and very handsome restaurant overall. 2 drawbacks_ very pricey, very noisy.

Amazing food, great wine list, knowledgable staff and delightful ambiance. The grilled salmon was especially good served with the Isreali couscous. We would definitely eat here again.

Love the food. Service is great. Good place for a date-night or family celebration. Watch out - the serving sizes are enormous. A soup and salad here is enough for dinner.

A fair selection of choices. Meat dishes were pretty good and so was the salads. Very good service but sometimes a little to pushy. Drinks on the high side costwise

My wife and I dropped by for lunch recently and my first impression of this restaurant was one of wood and leather, which I like. The room was dim, but comfortably lighted, which I also like. Makes for a cozy feel. My wife, who exists on salad, had their Chicken Caeser and proclaimed it very good. I ordered the Fish... More

The menu is extensive. The service was very good and attentive. The servings are generous and tasty. We went there for lunch and it was hopping. Great atmosphere.

As a local, I'm disappointed with J Alexanders. After several visits, nothing has improved. Staff appears to believe taking 13 minutes to say hello, 8 minutes to remember to bring silverware (AFTER meal was served) and never check back is okay. Food tastes like the cooks are okay with preparing bland, overcooked fare. Sorry, this is not a place I'd... More

This is a great place for both dinner and drinks. The chicken rolls for an appetizer is great. The chicken Thai peanut salad is delicious. And try a pear martini or a lemon drip.

Once our very favorite, but new food changes NOT good. Their previous delicious and plentiful garlic 'smashed potatoes', are now soupy, regular ole plain 'mashed' potatoes anyone can make at home. What a BIG disappointment! Our waiter told us no more/gone are our favorite 'smashed potatoes'! The bread was plain, warmed slices with a wedge of butter. No extra choice... More
