We had great food and great service. When the keg ran out we received free beer. The food was hot and fast. The waiter very friendly and knew the menu. There some very pricey items on the menu but also some items that are more reasonably priced. I would recommend this restaurant any time.

It has become one of my favorites. I do plenty of business travel and I tend to eat at the bars of restaurants. The service is great. Bartenders are honest and friendly. I've tried many appetizers and all are good. Try the blackened Steak. It's delicious. Enjoy

Very enjoyable meal, nice atmosphere but a bit dark. Waitress was well versed with menu and was quick with recommendations. Could not have been happier!

This has always been one of my favorite restaurants. Last night the food was great as usual EXCEPT for the "smashed potatoes". They changed the way they prepare them and now they are just plain old mashed potatoes. I mentioned this to our waiter who agreed. He said it's a "corporate thing". Well corporation--better change them back if you want... More

This is a nice place to go if you want good service, really good food and nice atmosphere. Love the grilled artichokes! My favorite appetizer. I've tried to duplicate that at home but haven't quite been able to get it just the same. We love the prime rib, and the Ahi Tuna. The Caesar salad is great, too. I really... More

Top-notch martini too. Service was outstanding and just a nice, relaxed & upscale feel to the place. A real pleasure for somene who... More

My husband and I hadn't eaten at J. Alexander's for several years because we moved across the city. On a recent lunch there, we found that the food was still excellent, the service great, and the atmosphere just as terrific as it had ever been. Wish we had a J Alexander's closer to our home!.

I think JA's is perhaps the best value I've found in CMH. The food is consistently good and the prices are very reasonable. Management has done a great job maintaining high standards as I have seen no drop off over the years. I would definitely recommend.

We have been going to J Alexander's since it opened as we used to live right around the corner! Haven't been there in years, but went yesterday. It was as good as ever. When you walk in it smells fabulous and the menu doesn't disappoint. Well worth a visit. There are lots of restaurants in Columbus, but this is a... More
